Abstract
The invention relates to a method for operating a first vehicle terminal (NN1; NN2, NN3; NN4) for a wireless communications network, the method comprising: determining a resource pattern within a resource pool, the resource pattern comprising a plurality of wireless resources of a data channel within the resource pool; and sending, on a control channel, an item of control information which indicates the resource pattern and a group of at least two vehicle terminals associated with the resource pattern.
Claims13
A first in-vehicle terminal device (NN1;
- NN2, NN3;
- NN4) for a radio communication network, wherein the first in-vehicle terminal device (NN1;
- NN2, NN3;
- NN4) comprises at least one processor, at least one memory comprising computer program code, at least one communication module, and at least one antenna, wherein the computer program code is configured in such a way that, via the at least one processor, the at least one communication module, and the at least one antenna, it causes the first in-vehicle terminal device (NN1;
- NN2, NN3;
- NN4)
- to determine a resource pattern within a resource pool, wherein the resource pattern comprises a plurality of radio resources of a data channel within the resource pool, and
- to transmit an item of control information that indexes the resource pattern and a group (G1;
- G2) of at least two in-vehicle terminal devices (NN1, NN2, NN3;
- NN4) associated with the resource pattern, on a control channel.
A method for operating a first in-vehicle terminal device (NN1;
- NN2, NN3;
- NN4) for a radio communication network, wherein the method comprises:
- determining a resource pattern within a resource pool, wherein the resource pattern comprises a plurality of radio resources of a data channel within the resource pool;
- and
- transmitting an item of control information that indexes the resource pattern and a group of at least two in-vehicle terminal devices associated with the resource pattern, on a control channel.
A second in-vehicle terminal device (NN2;
- NN3, NN4;
- NN1) for a radio communication network, wherein the second in-vehicle terminal device (NN2;
- NN3, NN4;
- NN1) comprises at least one processor, at least one memory comprising computer program code, at least one communication module, and at least one antenna, wherein the computer program code is configured in such a way that, via the at least one processor, the at least one communication module, and the at least one antenna, it causes the second in-vehicle terminal device (NN2;
- NN3, NN4;
- NN1)
- to receive an item of control information that indexes a resource pattern and a group (G1;
- G2) of at least two in-vehicle terminal devices associated with the resource pattern, on a control channel, wherein the resource pattern comprises a plurality of radio resources of a data channel within the resource pool;
- to determine a group membership of the second terminal device (NN2;
- NN3, NN4;
- NN1) in the group (G1;
- G2) of at least two terminal devices;
- and
- to transmit data on the data channel via at least one of the radio resources of the received resource pattern, as a function of the determined group membership.
A method for operating a second in-vehicle terminal device (NN2;
- NN3, NN4;
- NN1) for a radio communication network, wherein the method comprises:
- receiving an item of control information that indexes a resource pattern and a group of at least two in-vehicle terminal devices associated with the resource pattern, on a control channel, wherein the resource pattern comprises a plurality of radio resources of a data channel within the resource pool;
- determining a group membership of the second terminal device (NN2;
- NN3, NN4;
- NN1) in the group of at least two terminal devices;
- and
- transmitting data on the data channel via at least one of the radio resources of the received resource pattern, as a function of the determined group membership.
