Title: Methods and devices for resource selection for direct transmissions between wireless devices in a wireless communication system
Inventor: ROY RON
IPC: H04W72/02
Filed: 2016-08-08
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for selecting a resource for direct communications between wireless devices (102,108) via a side link (113) in a wireless communications system. The devices may consist of vehicle user equipment (V-UE), or pedestrian user equipment (P-UE) and the communication may be V2P (vehicle to pedestrian). A first wireless communications device (108), which may be a V-UE, monitors a plurality of resources in a resource pool allocated for use on the side-link during a first time interval. Information relating to the monitored resources is then broadcast to a second wireless communications device (102) which receives the information and selects a resource from the plurality of allocated side link resources based on the received information. The second device may be a P-UE. The broadcast information may contain indications of allocated resources available for selection by the second device which may be transmitted using a Physical Side link Shared Channel (PSSCH).
