  • Power control for bidirectional sidelink
    Patent number: 12219495
    Abstract: Power control for a bidirectional Sidelink (SL) is provided. Solutions proposed herein limit the Physical SL Feedback Channel (PSFCH) transmit power level to that of the power level used for Physical SL Shared Channel (PSSCH) so as to prohibit too high transmit power for the PSFCH. In addition, if the difference between the PSSCH and PSFCH exceeds a preconfigured threshold (e.g., the PSFCH is too low), a Receiver (Rx) User Equipment (UE) can take preventive actions that ensure sufficient quality over the PSFCH. In further embodiments, both UEs continuously maintain the estimated SL Path Loss (PL) and transmit a single SL Channel State Information Reference Signal (SCSI-RS), and associated measurement reports rather than triggering new SCSI-RS transmissions and measurement reports for each PSSCH and associated PSFCH channel per SL (e.g., PC5) connection.
