Abstract
Sidelink synchronization for new radio vehicle-to-every thing (NR V2X) communication in a wireless communication system may include determining a loss of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) synchronization for a user equipment (UE), attempting a synchronization with a next generation NodeB/eNodeB (gNB/eNB) node for the UE, and determining successful synchronization with the gNB/eNB node for the UE. The successful synchronization may include a gNB/eNB timing aligned with a GNSS timing of the lost GNSS synchronization.
Claims19
A method for sidelink synchronization for new radio vehicle-to-everything (NR V2X) communication in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- determining a loss of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) synchronization for a user equipment (UE);
- attempting a synchronization with a next generation NodeB/eNodeB (gNB/eNB) node for the UE;
- and
- determining successful synchronization with the gNB/eNB node for the UE, wherein the successful synchronization includes a gNB/eNB timing aligned with a GNSS timing of the loss of GNSS synchronization.
11-17. (canceled)
An apparatus for sidelink synchronization for new radio vehicle-to-everything (NR V2X) communication in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the apparatus to:
- determine a loss of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) synchronization for a user equipment (UE);
- attempt a synchronization with a next generation NodeB/eNodeB (gNB/eNB) node for the UE;
- and
- determine successful synchronization with the gNB/eNB node for the UE, wherein the successful synchronization includes a gNB/eNB timing aligned with a GNSS timing of the loss of GNSS synchronization.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium including instructions that when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:
- determine a loss of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) synchronization for a user equipment (UE);
- attempt a synchronization with a next generation NodeB/eNodeB (gNB/eNB) node for the UE;
- and
- determine successful synchronization with the gNB/eNB node for the UE, wherein the successful synchronization includes a gNB/eNB timing aligned with a GNSS timing of the loss of GNSS synchronization.
