Abstract
The aspects described herein may avoid delays and may improve performance at a first apparatus when monitoring a periodic resource pool for an echo signal during a beacon and echo procedure with a second apparatus. The first apparatus transmits a beacon signal using one or more resources in a periodic resource pool, starts a timer, and monitors the periodic resource pool for an echo signal from the second apparatus until expiration of the timer.
Claims27
A first apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
- transmit a beacon signal using one or more resources in a periodic resource pool;
- start a timer;
- and
- monitor the periodic resource pool for an echo signal from a second apparatus until expiration of the timer.
A method of wireless communication for a first user equipment (UE), comprising:
- transmitting a beacon signal using one or more resources in a periodic resource pool;
- starting a timer;
- and
- monitoring the periodic resource pool for an echo signal from a second UE until expiration of the timer.
A first apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
- transmit a beacon signal using one or more resources in a first periodic resource pool;
- start a timer;
- and
- monitor at least one of the first periodic resource pool or a second periodic resource pool for an echo signal from a second apparatus until expiration of the timer.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
- select one or more parameter values for a beacon and echo procedure performed between first and second user equipments (UEs) using a periodic resource pool, the one or more parameter values including at least a time period for a timer implemented by the first UE when monitoring the periodic resource pool for an echo signal from the second UE;
- and
- transmit the one or more parameter values to at least the first and second UEs.
