US 2023/0422258 A1 · MULTIPLE TRANSPORT BLOCK (TB) GRANT FOR SIDELINK

Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some examples, a user equipment (UE) may transmit to a network entity a first signal requesting a modification of allocated resources for sidelink transmission, sidelink reception, or both based on multiple transport blocks (TBs) for communication for the UE. The UE may receive, from the network entity, a downlink control information (DCI) signal granting one or more resources to the UE for sidelink communications based on the first signal. In some cases, the DCI signal may dynamically or periodically grant one or more resources for sidelink transmission, one or more resources for sidelink reception, or both for the UE. The UE may use the granted resources to communicate multiple TBs with one or more other UEs based on the DCI signal. For example, a single DCI message may allocate resources for sidelink communication of multiple TBs.

Dependent claims

An apparatus for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

a processor;
memory coupled with the processor;
and
instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
transmit a first signal requesting a modification of allocated resources for sidelink transmission, sidelink reception, or both based at least in part on multiple transport blocks for communication for the UE;
receive a downlink control information signal granting one or more resources to the UE for sidelink transmission, sidelink reception, or both based at least in part on the first signal, the downlink control information signal granting the one or more resources for communication of the multiple transport blocks;
and
communicate, with one or more other UEs, a plurality of transport blocks via the granted one or more resources based at least in part on the downlink control information signal.
