  • Publication number: 20240137932
    Abstract: Embodiments include methods performed by a wireless device configured to communicate via an uplink (UL) to a network and via a sidelink (SL) to one or more other wireless devices.

  • Publication number: 20240057209
    Abstract: A method implemented by a first terminal device (1101) is provided. The method comprises: transmitting a signaling indicating a suggestion on one or more sidelink discontinuous reception, SL DRX, configurations to a second terminal device (1102); receiving a first response for each of the SL DRX configurations from the second terminal device (1102). The first response may indicate one of: fully accepting, by the second terminal device, the suggestion; fully rejecting, by the second terminal device (1102), the suggestion; and partly accepting, by the second terminal device, the suggestion. Latency, power consumption and signaling overhead may be reduced. Data loss due to active time misalignment may be minimized. A good tradeoff between UE power consumption and performance of sidelink transmissions may be achieved.

  • Publication number: 20240056874
    Abstract: A relay UE (502) having a PC5 link with a remote UE (501) creates a modified downlink (DL) packet by adding one or more reflective quality-of-service (QoS) indicators to the DL packet and transmits the modified DL packet on the PC5 link in a PC5 QoS flow to the remote UE. The remote UE receives the modified DL packet, uses the one or more reflective QoS indicators to derive one or more mapping relations, and applies the one or more derived mapping relations to map an uplink (UL) packet to the QoS flow and transmit the UL packet on the PC5 link. The relay UE receives the UL packet and transmits the UL packet to a network node (504) or a second relay UE.

  • Patent number: 11902966
    Abstract: The embodiments herein relate to methods for SL SR/BSR handling. In one embodiment, there proposes a method in a wireless device, comprising: triggering a Sidelink (SL) Buffer Status Report (BSR) in response to data to be sent over the SL; triggering a Sidelink (SL) Scheduling Request (SR) for transmitting the SL BSR, wherein the SL BSR is intended to be transmitted by using a first uplink (UL) grant triggered by the SL SR; and cancelling the SL SR transmission if the SL BSR has been transmitted by using a second UL grant triggered by other sources. With embodiments herein, the LCP can be adapted based on QoS requirement and unsuitable cancel of sidelink BSR can be avoided, which improves performance of both UL and sidelink.
