Abstract
A method and apparatus are disclosed from the perspective of a communication device. In one embodiment, the method includes the device being configured with a plurality of resource pools by a base station for a cell. The method further includes the device receiving a grant from the base station, wherein the grant indicates a resource associated with a resource pool of the plurality of resource pools through a resource pool index in the grant. The method also includes the device using the resource to perform a transmission on a device-to-device interface.
Claims18
A method for a first communication device, comprising:
- being configured, by a base station, with a plurality of resource pools, wherein the plurality of resource pools are used for sidelink communication in a first bandwidth part;
- receiving a grant in a second bandwidth part for downlink from the base station, wherein the grant indicates a resource associated with a resource pool of the plurality of resource pools through a resource pool index in the grant;
- and
- using the resource to perform a sidelink transmission.
A method for a first communication device, comprising:
- being configured, by a base station, with a plurality of resource pools via a first Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, wherein the first RRC signaling indicates each resource pool in the plurality of resource pools is associated with one resource pool Identity (ID);
- being configured with a configuration for sidelink Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS) via the first RRC signaling or a second RRC signaling, wherein the configuration for sidelink SPS includes a resource pool ID indicated in the first RRC signaling;
- and
- using a resource in a resource pool of the plurality of resource pools to perform a sidelink transmission based on the configuration for sidelink SPS, wherein the resource pool is associated with the resource pool ID.
A first communication device, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor operatively coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to execute program code to:
- be configured, by a base station, with a plurality of resource pools for a cell, wherein the plurality of resource pools are used for sidelink communication in a first bandwidth part;
- receive a grant in a second bandwidth part for downlink from the base station, wherein the grant indicates a resource associated with a resource pool of the plurality of resource pools through a resource pool index in the grant;
- and
- use the resource to perform a sidelink transmission.
