Abstract
A method of operating a first sidelink communications device synchronised in time with a timing source is provided. The method comprises transmitting timing information to a second sidelink communications device via a sidelink interface. The timing information comprises f either a referenced time or a non-referenced time. The referenced time is an absolute time at the first sidelink communications device. The non-referenced time is the absolute time at the first sidelink communications device adjusted for propagation delay between the first sidelink communications device and the second sidelink communications device.
Claims17
A method of operating a first sidelink communications device synchronised in time with a timing source, the method comprising
- transmitting timing information to a second sidelink communications device via a sidelink interface, wherein the timing information comprises either
- a referenced time, the referenced time being an absolute time at the first sidelink communications device, or
- a non-referenced time, the non-referenced time being the absolute time at the first sidelink communications device adjusted for propagation delay between the first sidelink communications device and the second sidelink communications device.
-38. (canceled)
A first sidelink communications device synchronised in time with a timing source, the first sidelink communications device comprising
- a transmitter configured to transmit signals,
- a receiver configured to receive signals,
- a controller configured in combination with the transmitter and the receiver to
- transmit timing information to a second sidelink communications device via a sidelink interface, wherein the timing information comprises either
- a referenced time, the referenced time being an absolute time at the first sidelink communications device, or
- a non-referenced time, the non-referenced time being the absolute time at the first sidelink communications device adjusted for propagation delay between the first sidelink communications device and the second sidelink communications device.
-42. (canceled)
A first sidelink communications device, the first sidelink communications device comprising
- a transmitter configured to transmit signals,
- a receiver configured to receive signals,
- a controller configured in combination with the transmitter and the receiver to
- transmit Time Sensitive Communication Assistance Information, TSCAI, to a second sidelink communications device via a sidelink interface, wherein the TSCAI information comprises one or more of a burst timing, burst periodicity and survival time.
