- central node can be any device, i.e., a 5G NR gNB or a UE terminal device.
- the central node can be considered as the 5G NR gNB.
- resource allocation mode-1 of NR-SL
- resource allocation mode-2 the gNB is responsible for the resource allocation of NR-SL communication, where the use cases intended for NR V2X can generate a diverse array of periodic and aperiodic message types. Therefore, resource allocation mode 1 can provide dynamic grants of sidelink resources from a gNB, as well as grants of periodic sidelink resources configured semi-statically by RRC, termed sidelink configured grants.
- the gNB scheduling activity is driven by the UE reporting its sidelink traffic characteristics to the gNB, or by performing a sidelink BSR procedure similar to that on Uu to request a sidelink resource allocation from gNB.
- a gNB could perform the channel sensing on the unlicensed band, and when the sensing channel is successfully occupied by the gNB, the gNB may grant the resource allocation to UE for the SL communication initiated from the UE.
- This scenario is more benefit for the short-range communication, such as in-door or in-car communications where the central node is nearby or not far-from the devices performing SL transmissions. From power saving perspective, the central node may better take care of the main responsibility of channel sensing and occupation, and it saves the power for devices performing SL transmissions.
- LBT Listen Before Talk
- FBE Frame Based Equipment
- LBE Load Based Equipment
- FBE channel sensing is performed at fixed time instants; if the channel is busy, the base station may back off for a fixed time period and senses the channel again after this period.
- LBE approach the channel sensing is performed at any time instant and random back-off is used if the channel is found busy.
- Type 1 LBT Type 2A/2B LBT
- Type 2C LBT Type 2C LBT
- the LBT Type 1 which can also be referred to as LBT Category 4 (LBT Cat. 4) , is always used by the initiating device whenever it does not have a pre-existing Channel Occupancy Time (COT) towards the responding device.
- COT Channel Occupancy Time
- LBT Type 2A and LBT Type 2B which may also be referred to as LBT Category 2 (LBT Cat. 2) , may be used in different cases. It is a form of single-shot or “fast” LBT. It is used if the gNB and UE are sharing a COT, but the interval between transmissions is larger than 16us.
- the LBT Type 2C which may also be referred to as LBT Category 1 (LBT Cat. 1)
- LBT Category 1 LBT Cat. 1
- the COT has a maximum duration defined in regulations.
- the LBT Type 1 is defined as a continuous sensing of the channel of a device for at least N CCA intervals. Once the channel is declared as idle, the sensing/initiating device can access the channel for a maximum time, which is also known as the MCOT. During the time, the sensing device can grant access to the responding UEs by performing COT sharing. Within the shared COT session, the responding UEs are allowed to access the channel by performing LBT Type 2 (A/B/C) . The main benefit of COT sharing is to reduce LBT delay and LBT overhead at the responding devices.
- the central node may act as the COT initiating device by performing Cat. 4 LBT or Cat. 2 LBT, in case of LBE or FBE, respectively.
- the sidelink UEs which may act as COT responding devices, are able to perform transmissions within the COT initiated by the central node.
- the UE may send request for gNB performing CCA/LBT-based Mode-1 SL RA.
- the transmission can be done via the Uu-interface of licensed band.
- the gNB may perform the LBT. If the channel is successfully occupied by gNB via LBT sensing, the gNB grants the resource allocation to UE via the sensed unlicensed band with NR-U format during the COT.
- the UE may initialize the SL communication with other UE during the shared COT in the unlicensed band.
- the UE transmits the HARQ/ACK feedback to gNB.
- the UE can feedback to gNB for each TB of sidelink transmission via Uu interface.
- the transmission of the HARQ/ACK feedback is still needed to be discussed.
- the present disclosure provides solutions of unlicensed sidelink communication with central node resource allocation.
- FIG. 2 show a schematic process of unlicensed sidelink communication with central node resource allocation.
- the process 200 will be described with reference to FIG. 1.
- the process 200 may involve the UE 110-1, the gNB 120 and the further UE 110-2 as illustrated in FIG. 1.
- the gNB 120 may perform a channel sensing procedure, i.e. a LBT procedure. If the channel is successfully occupied by gNB 120 via LBT sensing, the gNB 120 may generate 204 an indication of a resource allocation grant for the UE 110-1 to perform a sidelink transmission and transmit 206 the indication to the UE 110-1 in a COT obtained by the LBT procedure.
- a channel sensing procedure i.e. a LBT procedure.
- the UE 110-1 may determine 208 whether the resource allocation grant can be obtained from the indication. If the resource allocation grant is successfully obtained from the indication, the UE 110-1 may determine that the resource allocation grant is valid and generate first information containing HARQ-feedback with ACK. Hereinafter the first information may be referred to as Sidelink Control Information (SCI) . If the resource allocation grant is unsuccessfully obtained from the indication, the UE 110-1 may determine that the resource allocation grant is invalid and generate SCI containing HARQ-feedback with NACK.
- SCI Sidelink Control Information
- the UE 110-1 may transmit 210 the SCI to both the gNB 120 and the UE 110-2 in a sidelink transmission initiated from the UE 110-1.
- the transmission of the SCI can be performed in the COT obtained by the gNB 120.
- the UE 110-1 can transmit the SCI to gNB 120 and the UE 110-2 via a Physical Sidelink Control Channel (PSCCH) . Both gNB 120 and UE 110-2 may monitor the PSCCH.
- PSCCH Physical Sidelink Control Channel
- the gNB 120 may determine 212 that the resource allocation grant is successfully received by the UE 110-1.
- the UE 110-2 may determine 214 that the resource allocation grant indicated in the SCI is valid.
- the UE 110-1 may further receive second information from the UE 110-1, which may indicate the data payload is to be transmitted from the UE 110-1 to the UE 110-2.
- the second information may also be referred to as a further SCI.
- the UE 110-2 may receive 216 the data payload from the UE 110-1.
- the transmission of the data payload and the second information from the UE 110-1 to the UE 110-2 can be performed via a Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH) .
- PSSCH Physical Sidelink Shared Channel
- the UE 110-2 may also transmit 218 a HARQ feedback for the transmission of the data payload from the UE 110-1 to the UE 110-2. For example, if the UE 110-1 receives a HARQ feedback with ACK from the UE 110-2, the UE 110-1 may be aware of a successfully transmission of the data payload. If the UE 110-1 receives a HARQ feedback with NACK from the UE 110-2, the UE 110-1 may, for example, retransmit the data payload to the UE 110-2.
- the UE 110-1 may determine 220 information associated with the sidelink transmission performed by the UE 110-1.
- the UE 110-1 may determine that the sidelink transmission is completed and generate the information indicating that the sidelink transmission is terminated or the gNB may quit the channel sensing for the sidelink transmission performed by the UE 110-1.
- the UE 110-1 may determine that the sidelink transmission is not successfully performed and generate the information indicating that statistic of HARQ feedback of the sidelink transmissions.
- the statistic may indicating the HARQ feedbacks with NACK or HARQ feedbacks with ACK received by the UE 110-1 in a certain period.
- the information may also comprise a status indication in case the number of NACKs received by the UE 110-1 exceeded a threshold number.
- the threshold number can be configured by gNB 120 to UE 110-1.
- the information may also comprise an indication that a ratio of non-acknowledgement of received by the first device for the sidelink transmission between the first device and a third device and acknowledgement of received by the first device for the sidelink transmission exceeds a threshold ratio.
- the UE 110-1 may transmit 222 the information to the gNB 120.
- the transmission of the information can be performed via a PSCCH or a PSSCH.
- the gNB 120 may, for example, release the COT obtained by the previously LBT procedure.
- the gNB 120 may need to extend the number of default CCA attempts in order to have more COTs for sidelink transmissions between the UE 110-1 and the UE 110-2. For example, the gNB 120 may perform a further CCA and obtain one more COT. Then the gNB 120 may transmit 224 an indication of the new obtained COT to the UE 110-1 for the UE 110-1 to perform the sidelink transmission.
- act 210 by which the gNB 120 and the UE 110-2 both receives the SCI transmit from the UE 110-1.
- the gNB 120 may determine 226 that the resource allocation grant is unsuccessfully received by the UE 110-1. Then the gNB 120 may retransmit 228 the resource allocation grant to the UE 110-1.
