Selecting Resources for Sidelink Communication Based on Geo-Location Information

An apparatus of a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) device in a vehicle communication network, comprising:

• processing circuitry configured to:
• generate, or process, a sidelink signal of a sidelink communication with a V2X node that comprises a new radio NodeB (gNB), an eNodeB (eNB), a user equipment (UE), a Roadside Unit (RSU), a drone, or other vehicle device;
• determine geo-location information of the V2X node based on the sidelink signal between the V2X device and the V2X node;
• and
• derive a distance or positioning data of the V2X node based on a sidelink ranging and a set of sidelink resources based on the geo-location information for sidelink communications associated with the V2X node;
• a radio frequency (RF) interface, configured to receive from the processing circuitry, data for a transmission of the sidelink signal.

An apparatus of a Road Side Unit (RSU) in a vehicle communication network, comprising:

• processing circuitry configured to:
• generate a sidelink signal to enable a sidelink communication, wherein the sidelink signal comprises a sidelink Demodulation Reference Signal (sidelink DMRS), or a Sidelink Ranging-Reference Signal (SR-RS) that comprises a Sidelink Ranging Signal (SL-RS), a Sidelink Positioning Reference Signal, a Sidelink Sounding Reference Signal, or a Sidelink Channel State Information (CSI) reference signal;
• determine geo-location information of a vehicle based on the sidelink signal;
• and
• determine a distance or a positioning of the vehicle to enable a sidelink ranging and a configuration of a set of sidelink resources based on the geo-location information for sidelink communications associated with the vehicle;
• a radio frequency (RF) interface, operably coupled to the processing circuitry, configured to receive data for a transmission of the sidelink signal.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing executable instructions that, in response to execution, cause one or more processors of a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) device to support a sidelink communication with a vehicle or a vehicle node, the operations comprising:

• generate a Sidelink Ranging-Reference Signal (SR-RS) to enable a sidelink communication;
• determine geo-location information of the vehicle or the vehicle node based on the sidelink signal or a response to the sidelink signal;
• and
• determine one or more distances of the vehicle for a sidelink ranging and a set of sidelink resources for the sidelink communication based on the geo-location information.
