Patent ID: 11818672

Abstract:
Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE), Next Generation Node-B (gNB), Evolved Node-B (eNB) and methods of communication are generally described herein. The UE may determine, based on one or more detected synchronization signals, a reference timing to be used for a common synchronization of Long Term Evolution (LTE) sidelink communication on an LTE PC5 interface and New Radio (NR) sidelink communication on an NR PC5 interface in accordance with time division multiplexing (TDM) operation, wherein subframe boundaries of the LTE PC5 interface and the NR PC5 interface are aligned in time. If the UE detects, during a time period, an in-device conflict between a service configured for the LTE PC5 interface and a service configured for the NR PC5 interface, the UE may determine which of the services to support during the time period based on corresponding priorities.
