Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication and to techniques for improving semi-persistent scheduling performance in terms of latency and probability of successful delivery.
Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various telecommunication services such as telephony, video, data, messaging, and broadcasts. Typical wireless communication systems may employ multiple-access technologies capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power, or the like). Examples of such multiple-access technologies include code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, time division multiple access (TDMA) systems, frequency-division multiple access (FDMA) systems, orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) systems, single-carrier frequency-division multiple access (SC-FDMA) systems, time division synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) systems, and Long Term Evolution (LTE). LTE/LTE-Advanced is a set of enhancements to the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard promulgated by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).
A wireless network may include a number of base stations (BSs) that can support communication for a number of user equipment (UEs). A UE may communicate with a BS via the downlink and uplink. The downlink (or forward link) refers to the communication link from the BS to the UE, and the uplink (or reverse link) refers to the communication link from the UE to the BS. As will be described in more detail herein, a BS may be referred to as a Node B, a gNB, an access point (AP), a radio head, a transmit receive point (TRP), a New Radio (NR) BS, a 5G Node B, or the like.
The above multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunication standards to provide a common protocol that enables different user equipment to communicate on a municipal, national, regional, and even global level. NR, which may also be referred to as 5G, is a set of enhancements to the LTE mobile standard promulgated by the 3GPP. NR is designed to better support mobile broadband Internet access by improving spectral efficiency, lowering costs, improving services, making use of new spectrum, and better integrating with other open standards using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with a cyclic prefix (CP) (CP-OFDM) on the downlink (DL), using CP-OFDM and/or SC-FDM (e.g., also known as discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink (UL), as well as supporting beamforming, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology, and carrier aggregation. As the demand for mobile broadband access continues to increase, further improvements in LTE, NR, and other radio access technologies remain useful.

The foregoing has outlined rather broadly the features and technical advantages of examples according to the disclosure in order that the detailed description that follows may be better understood. Additional features and advantages will be described hereinafter. The conception and specific examples disclosed may be readily utilized as a basis for modifying or designing other structures for carrying out the same purposes of the present disclosure. Such equivalent constructions do not depart from the scope of the appended claims. Characteristics of the concepts disclosed herein, both their organization and method of operation, together with associated advantages will be better understood from the following description when considered in connection with the accompanying figures. Each of the figures is provided for the purposes of illustration and description, and not as a definition of the limits of the claims.
So that the above-recited features of the present disclosure can be understood in detail, a more particular description, briefly summarized above, may be had by reference to aspects, some of which are illustrated in the appended drawings. It is to be noted, however, that the appended drawings illustrate only certain typical aspects of this disclosure and are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope, for the description may admit to other equally effective aspects. The same reference numbers in different drawings may identify the same or similar elements.
Various aspects of the disclosure are described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. This disclosure may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to any specific structure or function presented throughout this disclosure. Rather, these aspects are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art. Based on the teachings herein one skilled in the art should appreciate that the scope of the disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of the disclosure disclosed herein, whether implemented independently of or combined with any other aspect of the disclosure. For example, an apparatus may be implemented or a method may be practiced using any number of the aspects set forth herein. In addition, the scope of the disclosure is intended to cover such an apparatus or method which is practiced using other structure, functionality, or structure and functionality in addition to or other than the various aspects of the disclosure set forth herein. It should be understood that any aspect of the disclosure disclosed herein may be embodied by one or more elements of a claim.
Several aspects of telecommunication systems will now be presented with reference to various apparatuses and techniques. These apparatuses and techniques will be described in the following detailed description and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, or the like (collectively referred to as “elements”). These elements may be implemented using hardware, software, or combinations thereof. Whether such elements are implemented as hardware or software depends upon the particular application and design constraints imposed on the overall system.
It should be noted that while aspects may be described herein using terminology commonly associated with a 5G or NR radio access technology (RAT), aspects of the present disclosure can be applied to other RATs, such as a 3G RAT, a 4G RAT, and/or a RAT subsequent to 5G (e.g., 6G).
A BS may provide communication coverage for a macro cell, a pico cell, a femto cell, and/or another type of cell. A macro cell may cover a relatively large geographic area (e.g., several kilometers in radius) and may allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscription. A pico cell may cover a relatively small geographic area and may allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscription. A femto cell may cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a home) and may allow restricted access by UEs having association with the femto cell (e.g., UEs in a closed subscriber group (CSG)). ABS for a macro cell may be referred to as a macro BS. ABS for a pico cell may be referred to as a pico BS. A BS for a femto cell may be referred to as a femto BS or a home BS. In the example shown in
In some aspects, a cell may not necessarily be stationary, and the geographic area of the cell may move according to the location of a mobile BS. In some aspects, the BSs may be interconnected to one another and/or to one or more other BSs or network nodes (not shown) in the wireless network 100 through various types of backhaul interfaces such as a direct physical connection or a virtual network, using any suitable transport network.
Wireless network 100 may also include relay stations. A relay station is an entity that can receive a transmission of data from an upstream station (e.g., a BS or a UE) and send a transmission of the data to a downstream station (e.g., a UE or a BS). A relay station may also be a UE that can relay transmissions for other UEs. In the example shown in
Wireless network 100 may be a heterogeneous network that includes BSs of different types, e.g., macro BSs, pico BSs, femto BSs, relay BSs, and/or the like. These different types of BSs may have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and different impacts on interference in wireless network 100. For example, macro BSs may have a high transmit power level (e.g., 5 to 40 watts) whereas pico BSs, femto BSs, and relay BSs may have lower transmit power levels (e.g., 0.1 to 2 watts).
A network controller 130 may couple to a set of BSs and may provide coordination and control for these BSs. Network controller 130 may communicate with the BSs via a backhaul. The BSs may also communicate with one another, e.g., directly or indirectly via a wireless or wireline backhaul.
UEs 120 (e.g., 120a, 120b, 120c) may be dispersed throughout wireless network 100, and each UE may be stationary or mobile. A UE may also be referred to as an access terminal, a terminal, a mobile station, a subscriber unit, a station, or the like. A UE may be a cellular phone (e.g., a smart phone), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wireless modem, a wireless communication device, a handheld device, a laptop computer, a cordless phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a tablet, a camera, a gaming device, a netbook, a smartbook, an ultrabook, a medical device or equipment, biometric sensors/devices, wearable devices (smart watches, smart clothing, smart glasses, smart wrist bands, smart jewelry (e.g., smart ring, smart bracelet)), an entertainment device (e.g., a music or video device, or a satellite radio), a vehicular component or sensor, smart meters/sensors, industrial manufacturing equipment, a global positioning system device, or any other suitable device that is configured to communicate via a wireless or wired medium.
Some UEs may be considered machine-type communication (MTC) or evolved or enhanced machine-type communication (eMTC) UEs. MTC and eMTC UEs include, for example, robots, drones, remote devices, sensors, meters, monitors, and/or location tags that may communicate with a base station, another device (e.g., remote device), or some other entity. A wireless node may provide, for example, connectivity for or to a network (e.g., a wide area network such as Internet or a cellular network) via a wired or wireless communication link. Some UEs may be considered Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices, and/or may be implemented as NB-IoT (narrowband internet of things) devices. Some UEs may be considered a Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). UE 120 may be included inside a housing that houses components of UE 120, such as processor components and/or memory components. In some aspects, the processor components and the memory components may be coupled together. For example, the processor components (e.g., one or more processors) and the memory components (e.g., a memory) may be operatively coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, and/or electrically coupled.
In general, any number of wireless networks may be deployed in a given geographic area. Each wireless network may support a particular RAT and may operate on one or more frequencies. A RAT may also be referred to as a radio technology, an air interface, or the like. A frequency may also be referred to as a carrier, a frequency channel, or the like. Each frequency may support a single RAT in a given geographic area in order to avoid interference between wireless networks of different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks may be deployed.
In some aspects, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120a and UE 120e) may communicate directly using one or more sidelink channels (e.g., without using a base station 110 as an intermediary to communicate with one another). For example, the UEs 120 may communicate using peer-to-peer (P2P) communications, device-to-device (D2D) communications, a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocol (e.g., which may include a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) protocol or a vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocol), and/or a mesh network. In this case, the UE 120 may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and/or other operations described elsewhere herein as being performed by the base station 110.
Devices of wireless network 100 may communicate using the electromagnetic spectrum, which may be subdivided based on frequency or wavelength into various classes, bands, channels, or the like. For example, devices of wireless network 100 may communicate using an operating band having a first frequency range (FR1), which may span from 410 MHz to 7.125 GHz, and/or may communicate using an operating band having a second frequency range (FR2), which may span from 24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz. The frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are sometimes referred to as mid-band frequencies. Although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, FR1 is often referred to as a “sub-6 GHz” band. Similarly, FR2 is often referred to as a “millimeter wave” band despite being different from the extremely high frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz-300 GHz) which is identified by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) as a “millimeter wave” band. Thus, unless specifically stated otherwise, it should be understood that the term “sub-6 GHz” or the like, if used herein, may broadly represent frequencies less than 6 GHz, frequencies within FR1, and/or mid-band frequencies (e.g., greater than 7.125 GHz). Similarly, unless specifically stated otherwise, it should be understood that the term “millimeter wave” or the like, if used herein, may broadly represent frequencies within the EHF band, frequencies within FR2, and/or mid-band frequencies (e.g., less than 24.25 GHz). It is contemplated that the frequencies included in FR1 and FR2 may be modified, and techniques described herein are applicable to those modified frequency ranges.
As indicated above,
At base station 110, a transmit processor 220 may receive data from a data source 212 for one or more UEs, select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCS) for each UE based at least in part on channel quality indicators (CQIs) received from the UE, process (e.g., encode and modulate) the data for each UE based at least in part on the MCS(s) selected for the UE, and provide data symbols for all UEs. Transmit processor 220 may also process system information (e.g., for semi-static resource partitioning information (SRPI)) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, grants, and/or upper layer signaling) and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. Transmit processor 220 may also generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) or a demodulation reference signal (DMRS)) and synchronization signals (e.g., a primary synchronization signal (PSS) and/or a secondary synchronization signal (SSS)). A transmit (TX) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processor 230 may perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding) on the data symbols, the control symbols, the overhead symbols, and/or the reference symbols, if applicable, and may provide T output symbol streams to T modulators (MODs) 232a through 232t. Each modulator 232 may process a respective output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modulator 232 may further process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and upconvert) the output sample stream to obtain a downlink signal. T downlink signals from modulators 232a through 232t may be transmitted via T antennas 234a through 234t, respectively.
At UE 120, antennas 252a through 252r may receive the downlink signals from base station 110 and/or other base stations and may provide received signals to demodulators (DEMODs) 254a through 254r, respectively. Each demodulator 254 may condition (e.g., filter, amplify, downconvert, and digitize) a received signal to obtain input samples. Each demodulator 254 may further process the input samples (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain received symbols. A MIMO detector 256 may obtain received symbols from all R demodulators 254a through 254r, perform MIMO detection on the received symbols if applicable, and provide detected symbols. A receive processor 258 may process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, provide decoded data for UE 120 to a data sink 260, and provide decoded control information and system information to a controller/processor 280. The term “controller/processor” may refer to one or more controllers, one or more processors, or a combination thereof. A channel processor may determine reference signal received power (RSRP) parameter, a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) parameter, a reference signal received quality (RSRQ) parameter, and/or a channel quality indicator (CQI) parameter, among other examples. In some aspects, one or more components of UE 120 may be included in a housing 284.

An antenna panel, an antenna group, a set of antenna elements, and/or an antenna array may include one or more antenna elements. An antenna panel, an antenna group, a set of antenna elements, and/or an antenna array may include a set of coplanar antenna elements and/or a set of non-coplanar antenna elements. An antenna panel, an antenna group, a set of antenna elements, and/or an antenna array may include antenna elements within a single housing and/or antenna elements within multiple housings.

On the uplink, at UE 120, a transmit processor 264 may receive and process data from a data source 262 and control information (e.g., for reports that include RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, and/or CQI) from controller/processor 280. Transmit processor 264 may also generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. The symbols from transmit processor 264 may be precoded by a TX MIMO processor 266 if applicable, further processed by modulators 254a through 254r (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM or CP-OFDM), and transmitted to base station 110. In some aspects, a modulator and a demodulator (e.g., MOD/DEMOD 254) of the UE 120 may be included in a modem of the UE 120. In some aspects, the UE 120 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of antenna(s) 252, modulators and/or demodulators 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, transmit processor 264, and/or TX MIMO processor 266. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., controller/processor 280) and memory 282 to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein.

In some aspects, UE 120 may include means for providing, using a processor of the UE 120 executing a safety application and to a modem of the UE 120, a request for an adjusted SPS periodicity, means for configuring, using the modem, the adjusted SPS periodicity at a reselection opportunity, means for, until the reselection opportunity, transmitting any packets that do not fit into a reserved SPS transmission into non-SPS transmissions, and/or the like.
In some aspects, such means may include one or more components of UE 120 described in connection with
As indicated above,
In a cellular V2X (C-V2X) deployment, UEs may communicate directly on a sidelink to share information (e.g., from a vehicle associated with a UE to any entity that may affect the vehicle, such as another vehicle, and vice versa). A safety application of a UE may share information with a safety application on another UE by transmitting a basic safety message (BSM), a traffic information message (TIM), a signal phase and time (SPAT) message, a MAP message to convey geographic road information, a cooperative awareness message (CAM), a distributed environment notification message (DENM), an in-vehicle information (IVI) message, and/or the like. A basic safety message may include information about vehicle position, heading, speed, safety alerts, and other information relating to a vehicle's state and predicted path. Thus, UEs in a C-V2X deployment may transmit basic safety messages for purposes of autonomous travel, collision detection and avoidance, law enforcement and medical personnel message relaying, and/or the like.
A modem of a UE (e.g., a C-V2X modem or another type of modem) may unicast, broadcast, multicast, and/or the like a basic safety message to one or more other UEs. A safety application executed on a processor (e.g., an application processor or another type of processor) of the UE may generate basic safety messages in a semi-persistent manner (e.g., at a particular interval or basic safety message generation periodicity), and may provide the basic safety messages to the modem for transmission on a sidelink. The modem may packetize, encode, modulate, and/or otherwise process the basic safety messages for transmission.
The modem of the UE may schedule or reserve sidelink resources for transmission of basic safety messages at an SPS periodicity. These sidelink resources may be referred to as SPS resources, and may include time-domain resources (e.g., symbols, slots, subframes, and/or the like) and/or frequency-domain resources (e.g., resource elements, subcarriers, component carriers, and/or the like). In this case, an SPS resource for transmitting a basic safety message may occur each SPS period. In some cases, the basic safety message generation periodicity of the processor executing the safety application and the SPS periodicity scheduled or reserved by the modem may result in inefficient use of SPS resources, may cause an increase in information age of basic safety messages, and/or the like. For example, a misalignment of the basic safety message generation periodicity and the SPS periodicity may result in an increased quantity of unused SPS sidelink resources (e.g., SPS sidelink resources that are skipped over for basic safety message transmission). As another example, the processor may generate a basic safety message too far in advance of an SPS resource for transmission of the basic safety message, which may increase the information age (the amount of time since the generation of the basic safety message) of the information included in the basic safety message. As the information age of the information included in the basic safety message increases, the information becomes stale, out-of-date, or less accurate.
Some aspects described herein provide techniques and apparatuses for reducing semi-persistent scheduling latency in C-V2X and other sidelink-based deployments. In some aspects, a UE may align the basic safety message generation periodicity, and/or other types of messages that are sent periodically on an SPS flow, of a processor executing a safety application and an SPS periodicity for transmitting basic safety messages, and then align the generation times of the safety messages with the transmission times of the resources selected for SPS transmission such that information age of the basic safety messages is reduced and/or the quantity of unused SPS resources is reduced.
Moreover, the modem of the UE may provide the processor with an anchor time or transmit time, both of which may indicate a time at which a basic safety message is to be transmitted in an SPS resource. In this way, the processor may generate a basic safety message at an offset from the anchor time or transmit time in a manner that reduces the amount of time between generation and transmission of the basic safety message. This reduces the information age of the information included in the basic safety message, which prevents or reduces the likelihood that the information will become stale, out-of-date, or inaccurate. In some aspects, the processor and the modem of the UE may use other techniques to reduce information age and/or SPS scheduling latency, such as generating and transmitting non-SPS basic safety messages in scenarios in which an anchor time or transmit time is updated, scheduling an SPS resource within an SPS period in scenarios in which an anchor time or transmit time is updated, and/or the like.
In some aspects, the UE may be deployed in a C-V2X deployment or another type of deployment in which the UE communicates with other UEs on a sidelink. In this case, the UE may include a processor (e.g., a controller/processor 280) and a memory (e.g., memory 282) which may store and execute a safety application. The processor may generate basic safety messages for the safety application and may provide the basic safety messages to a modem of the UE.
The modem of the UE may be implemented by a receive processor (e.g., receive processor 258), a transmit processor (e.g., transmit processor 264), a controller/processor (e.g., controller/processor 280), a memory (e.g., memory 282), a modem component that includes one or more of a receive processor, a transmit processor, a controller/processor, a memory, an integrated circuit, an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), and/or the like. The modem may be capable of packetizing the basic safety messages, encoding packets, modulating the encoded packets, and/or performing other baseband processing of the basic safety messages for transmission on the sidelink.
In some aspects, the processor executing the safety application may generate basic safety messages based at least in part on a basic safety message generation periodicity. For example, the processor may generate a basic safety message at an interval that occurs based at least in part on the basic safety message generation periodicity. In some aspects, the basic safety message generation periodicity may be selected based at least in part on congestion control in the wireless network (e.g., using a congestion control algorithm and/or other techniques). The modem may reserve or schedule SPS resources on the sidelink for transmission of the basic safety messages. In some aspects, the modem may reserve or schedule the SPS resources such that the SPS resources occur based at least in part on an SPS periodicity, where each SPS resource occurs at an interval that is based at least in part on the SPS periodicity.
As shown in
In some aspects, the UE may adjust the basic safety message generation periodicity such that the basic safety message generation periodicity is aligned with the SPS periodicity. For example, if the SPS periodicity indicates that an SPS resource occurs every 100 ms, the UE may adjust the basic safety message generation periodicity such that the processor generates a basic safety message every 100 ms.
In some aspects, the UE may adjust the basic safety message generation periodicity by rounding (e.g., wither up or down or to closest) the basic safety message generation periodicity to a multiple of the SPS periodicity. For example, if the SPS periodicity is 100 ms (e.g., an SPS resource occurs every 100 ms), and the basic safety message generation periodicity is 230 ms (e.g., a basic safety message is generated every 155 ms), the UE may round (up or down) the basic safety message generation periodicity to 100 ms or 200 ms. In some aspects, the UE may round the basic safety message generation periodicity to the nearest multiple of the SPS periodicity.
In some aspects, if the SPS periodicity is less than a threshold (e.g., 100 ms or another threshold), the UE may adjust the basic safety message generation periodicity by rounding up the basic safety message generation periodicity to the nearest multiple of the SPS periodicity. In some aspects, the UE may adjust the basic safety message generation periodicity by rounding (e.g., up or down) the basic safety message generation periodicity to the nearest basic safety message generation periodicity permitted for the UE (e.g., as indicated in a specification, a table, in signaling received by the UE, and/or the like).
In some aspects, the UE may adopt a strategy of either rounding to closest target periodicity, or round up to closest, or round down to closest. Rounding down may increase the load but ensures that safety messages are generated at least as frequently as in the non-rounding generator. Rounding to closest should ensure that the overall load in the system remains similar to the load in case the non-rounding generator is used. Rounding up may ensure a lower load in the system at the expense of slightly longer latencies.

In this way, the UE may align the basic safety message generation periodicity of a processor executing a safety application and an SPS periodicity for transmitting basic safety messages such that information age of the basic safety messages is reduced, the quantity of unused SPS resources is reduced, and/or the like. In another alternative, the UE may change the SPS reservation to 200 ms, thus liberating the intermediate resources for use by other devices.
As indicated above,
In some aspects, the UE may be deployed in a C-V2X deployment or another type of deployment in which the UE communicates with other UEs on a sidelink. In this case, the UE may include a processor (e.g., a controller/processor 280) and a memory (e.g., memory 282) which may store and execute a safety application. The processor may generate basic safety messages for the safety application and may provide the basic safety messages to a modem of the UE.
The modem of the UE may be implemented by a receive processor (e.g., receive processor 258), a transmit processor (e.g., transmit processor 264), a controller/processor (e.g., controller/processor 280), a memory (e.g., memory 282), a modem component that includes one or more of a receive processor, a transmit processor, a controller/processor, a memory, an integrated circuit, an ASIC, and/or the like. The modem may be capable of packetizing the basic safety messages, encoding packets, modulating the encoded packets, and/or performing other baseband processing of the basic safety messages for transmission on the sidelink.
In some aspects, the processor executing the safety application may generate basic safety messages based at least in part on a basic safety message generation periodicity, which may be adjusted using one or more of the techniques described above in connection with
As shown in

As further shown in
The offset time may be configured by the UE such that basic safety messages are generated as close to the time at which the basic safety messages are to be transmitted as possible to reduce or minimize information age of the basic safety messages. In some aspects, the offset may be based at least in part on a processing capability of the processor. For example, the offset time may be based on an amount of time the processor takes to generate basic safety messages.
As illustrated in
In this way, the modem of the UE may provide the processor with an anchor time, which may indicate a time, based at least in part on an SPS periodicity, at which a basic safety message is to be transmitted in an SPS resource. In this way, the processor may generate a basic safety message at an offset from the anchor time in a manner that reduces the amount of time between generation and transmission of the basic safety message. This reduces the information age of the information included in the basic safety message, which prevents or reduces the likelihood that the information will become stale, out-of-date, or inaccurate.

As shown by reference number 504, the modem may provide the processor with an indication of a first time (indicated in
As shown by reference number 508, the modem may provide the processor with an indication of a second time (t0+one SPS period) that is based at least in part on the SPS periodicity. The second transmit time may be a time at which a second basic safety message at one SPS period after the SPS resource reservation is configured or scheduled to be transmitted in a second SPS resource. As shown by reference number 510, the processor may generate the second basic safety message based at least in part on the offset relative to the second transmit time (e.g., at time t0+one SPS period−the offset) and may provide the second basic safety message to the modem for transmission at t0+one SPS period.
As shown by reference number 512, the modem may provide the processor with an indication of a third time (t0+two SPS periods) that is based at least in part on the SPS periodicity. The third transmit time may be a time at which a third basic safety message at two SPS periods after the SPS resource reservation is configured or scheduled to be transmitted in a third SPS resource. As shown by reference number 514, the processor may generate the third basic safety message based at least in part on the offset relative to the third transmit time (e.g., at time t0+two SPS periods−the offset) and may provide the third basic safety message to the modem for transmission at t0+two SPS periods. The processor may generate subsequent basic safety messages based at least in part on the offset and transmit times in a similar manner as described above.
In this way, the modem of the UE may provide the processor with respective transmit times, each of which may indicate a time, based at least in part on an SPS periodicity, at which a basic safety message is to be transmitted in an SPS resource. In this way, the processor may generate a basic safety message at an offset from the transmit times in a manner that reduces the amount of time between generation and transmission of the basic safety message. This reduces the information age of the information included in the basic safety message, which prevents or reduces the likelihood that the information will become stale, out-of-date, or inaccurate.
As indicated above,
In some aspects, the UE may be deployed in a C-V2X deployment or another type of deployment in which the UE communicates with other UEs on a sidelink. In this case, the UE may include a processor (e.g., a controller/processor 280) and a memory (e.g., memory 282) which may store and execute a safety application. The processor may generate basic safety messages for the safety application and may provide the basic safety messages to a modem of the UE.
The modem of the UE may be implemented by a receive processor (e.g., receive processor 258), a transmit processor (e.g., transmit processor 264), a controller/processor (e.g., controller/processor 280), a memory (e.g., memory 282), a modem component that includes one or more of a receive processor, a transmit processor, a controller/processor, a memory, an integrated circuit, an ASIC, and/or the like. The modem may be capable of packetizing the basic safety messages, encoding packets, modulating the encoded packets, and/or performing other baseband processing of the basic safety messages for transmission on the sidelink.
In some aspects, the processor executing the safety application may generate basic safety messages based at least in part on a basic safety message generation periodicity. For example, the processor may generate a basic safety message at an interval that occurs based at least in part on the basic safety message generation periodicity. The modem may reserve or schedule SPS resources on the sidelink for transmission of the basic safety messages. In some aspects, the modem may reserve or schedule the SPS resources such that the SPS resources occur based at least in part on an SPS periodicity, where each SPS resource occurs at an interval that is based at least in part on the SPS periodicity.
As further shown in
The modem may receive the SPS resource reselection request and may perform the SPS resource reselection based at least in receiving the request. In this case, the modem may select an updated set of SPS resources for basic safety message transmission, and may select an updated anchor time or a new transmit time (indicated in
As further shown in
As further shown in
In some aspects, the UE may be permitted to transmit the basic safety message at t1 even though the transmission of the basic safety message at t1 does not satisfy the SPS periodicity due to the low and/or infrequent occurrence of basic safety messages that do not satisfy the SPS periodicity.
As shown in
In some aspects, the modem may instruct the processor to generate the non-SPS basic safety message such that the non-SPS basic safety message is to be transmitted within a threshold range associated with transmission of the basic safety message at time t1. For example, the modem may instruct the processor to generate the non-SPS basic safety message such that the non-SPS basic safety message is to be transmitted within ±50 ms from t1. In another aspect, the modem may select resources within T1 to T2 from the time of decision to reselect, where T1 is generally about 4 ms, and T2 varies depending on the detected load on the channel and is always less than the delay budget which has been assumed to be 100 ms in the preceding description. Thus, by choosing the reselection time at t1−(T2−T1)/2−T1, the modem can ensure that the transmission time will be between +−(T2−T1)/2 from t1.
In some aspects, the use of the non-SPS basic safety message may still result in the transmission of the basic safety message at time t1 not satisfying the SPS periodicity. In other words, the time between transmission of the non-SPS basic safety message and the transmission of the basic safety message at time t1 may still exceed the SPS periodicity. In these examples, the processor may generate another non-SPS basic safety message based at least in part on the determination that the transmission of the non-SPS basic safety message will result in the amount of time between transmission of the non-SPS time and transmission of the basic safety message at time t1 to exceed the SPS periodicity. In some aspects, the processor may generate further non-SPS basic safety messages as needed to satisfy the SPS periodicity.
In some aspects, the modem may autonomously generate and transmit the non-SPS basic safety messages (e.g., without input from the processor) such that the process of transmitting the non-SPS basic safety messages is transparent to the processor.
As shown in
As further shown in
In this way, the processor and the modem of the UE may use one or more techniques described above to reduce information age and/or SPS scheduling latency, such as generating and transmitting non-SPS basic safety messages in scenarios in which an anchor time or transmit time is updated, scheduling an SPS resource within an SPS period in scenarios in which an anchor time or transmit time is updated, and/or the like.
As indicated above,
In some aspects, the UE may be deployed in a C-V2X deployment or another type of deployment in which the UE communicates with other UEs on a sidelink. In this case, the UE may include a processor (e.g., a controller/processor 280) and a memory (e.g., memory 282) which may store and execute a safety application. The processor may generate basic safety messages for the safety application and may provide the basic safety messages to a modem of the UE.
The modem of the UE may be implemented by a receive processor (e.g., receive processor 258), a transmit processor (e.g., transmit processor 264), a controller/processor (e.g., controller/processor 280), a memory (e.g., memory 282), a modem component that includes one or more of a receive processor, a transmit processor, a controller/processor, a memory, an integrated circuit, an ASIC, and/or the like. The modem may be capable of packetizing the basic safety messages, encoding packets, modulating the encoded packets, and/or performing other baseband processing of the basic safety messages for transmission on the sidelink.
In some aspects, the processor executing the safety application may generate basic safety messages based at least in part on a basic safety message generation periodicity, which may be adjusted using one or more of the techniques described above in connection with
In some aspects, the modem and/or the processor may adjust the SPS periodicity (e.g., based at least in part on an expected change to the basic safety message generation periodicity for the safety application, based at least in part on sidelink and/or network congestion, and/or the like). For example, the processor may request an SPS periodicity that is greater than the reserved SPS periodicity for the safety application. As another example, the processor may request an SPS periodicity that is less than the reserved SPS periodicity for the safety application. The modem may receive the request to adjust the SPS periodicity and may adjust the SPS periodicity at the next reselection opportunity, which may occur at particular times or at particular intervals in the wireless network. Example 700 of
As shown in

In state 704, the processor may generate basic safety messages at the reserved SPS periodicity or less frequently until the modem provides the processor with an indication that the reserved SPS periodicity has been adjusted to match the requested SPS periodicity (in which case the UE may transition to state 702), until the processor provides the modem with a request for an adjusted SPS periodicity that matches the reserved SPS periodicity (in which case the UE may transition to state 702), or until the processor provides the modem with a request for an adjusted SPS periodicity that is less than the reserved SPS periodicity (in which case the UE may transition to state 702). In some aspects, when adjusting the reserved SPS periodicity to a greater periodicity, the modem may change the selection at a time of arrival of the latest basic safety message arrival to avoid out of phase transmissions.
As further shown in
In state 706, the processor may generate basic safety messages at the requested SPS periodicity until the modem provides the processor with an indication that the reserved SPS periodicity has been adjusted to match the requested SPS periodicity (in which case the UE may transition to state 702), until the processor provides the modem with a request for an adjusted SPS periodicity that matches the reserved SPS periodicity (in which case the UE may transition to state 702), or until the processor provides the modem with a request for an adjusted SPS periodicity that is greater than the reserved SPS periodicity (in which case the UE may transition to state 704).
Moreover, while the UE is in state 706, the modem may transmit non-SPS basic safety messages as needed in order for the UE to transmit basic safety messages at the requested SPS periodicity. In these examples, the modem may generate and transmit the non-SPS basic safety messages without input from the processor.
In this way, the processor and the modem of the UE may adjust the SPS periodicity for transmitting basic safety messages, may adjust the generation of basic safety messages to accommodate the SPS periodicity adjustments, and/or the like.
As indicated above,
For example, in some aspects, the processor may always reserve the SPS flow periodicity and generate packets using the same periodicity value. The periodicity may be determined and updated by the processor using a congestion control algorithm (e.g., a society of automotive engineers (SAE) specified congestion control algorithm and/or another type of congestion control algorithm). However, on a request to change the flow periodicity, the modem may delay the change in the SPS reservation and may maintain the reservation until the next reselection. Until the next reselection, there will be a mismatch between the actual safety message generation periodicity at the safety application, and the actual SPS periodicity reserved for transmission. Until the modem SPS reservation is updated to match the requested SPS reservation (which is equal to the safety application message generation periodicity), any packet received for transmission that does not arrive within the delay budget from the net transmission opportunity is sent as non-SPS or single shot transmission.
In some aspects, as a variant of the above alternative, the modem may determine to delay the periodicity change until the next reservation if the periodicity is decreased, but change the reservation immediately or after a shorted delay if the periodicity is decreased.
