US 2026/0101361 A1 · SCHEDULING AND RESOURCE RESERVATION FOR MULTI-SLOT TRANSMISSIONS

Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications supporting scheduling and resource reservation for multi-slot transmissions are described. A first user equipment (UE) may transmit a sidelink control information (SCI) message to one or more other UEs. The SCI message may reserve sidelink resources across multiple slots. Then, the UE may perform a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure before the multiple slots. In some examples, the LBT procedure may indicate that the reserved sidelink resources are available, and the UE may transmit sidelink data to one or more other UEs via the multiple slots. The sidelink data (e.g., cyclic prefix (CP) associated with the sidelink data) transmitted via the multiple slots may occupy one or more of a gap symbol of the multiple slots, or an automatic gain control (AGC) symbol of the multiple slots.

Claims21

Dependent claims

An apparatus, 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, by a first user equipment (UE) to at least a second UE, a sidelink control information message reserving sidelink resources across a plurality of slots;
perform a listen-before-talk procedure prior to the plurality of slots;
and
transmit, based at least in part on the listen-before-talk procedure indicating that the reserved sidelink resources are available, sidelink data to at least the second UE via the plurality of slots, wherein the sidelink data, or a cyclic prefix associated with the sidelink data, or both, occupy at least one of a gap symbol of the plurality of slots, or an automatic gain control symbol of the plurality of slots.

An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:

a processor;
memory coupled with the processor;
and
instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
receive, from a first user equipment (UE) by at least a second UE, a sidelink control information message reserving sidelink resources across a plurality of slots;
and
receive, based at least in part on the sidelink control information message, sidelink data via one or more of the plurality of slots, wherein the sidelink data, or a cyclic prefix associated with the sidelink data, or both, occupy at least one of a gap symbol of the plurality of slots, or an automatic gain control symbol of the plurality of slots.
