Systems and methods of providing timing of sl transmission when scheduled by nr gnb

A computing apparatus of a Next Generation Node B (gNB), the computing apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the computing apparatus to:
• identify, at the computing apparatus, a minimum time gap for use by a user equipment (UE) between a reception at the UE of a configuring message that configures a sending of an SL transmission by the UE and the sending of the SL transmission by the UE;
• determine, at the computing apparatus, timing information for the UE to use to schedule the SL transmission, the timing information based on the minimum time gap;
• and
• generate, at the computing apparatus, the configuring message including a field indicating the timing information.

A computing apparatus of a user equipment (UE), the computing apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the computing apparatus to:
• determine, at the computing apparatus, a minimum time gap for use by the computing apparatus between a reception of a Downlink Control Information (DCI) message from a Next Generation Node B (gNB) that triggers an SL transmission and a sending of the SL transmission;
• process, at the computing apparatus, the DCI message from the gNB, the DCI message including a field indicating an offset from the reception of the DCI message for the UE to use to schedule the SL transmission, the offset based on the minimum time gap;
• and
• schedule, at the computing apparatus, the SL transmission triggered by the DCI message according to the offset.
