Communication method for sidelink channel occupancy sharing
The patent US12075479B2 outlines a communication method and apparatus designed for efficient data transmission between terminal devices using a sidelink channel. The method involves a first terminal device sending a first sidelink channel to a second terminal device, which includes channel occupancy time (COT) sharing information and a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH). The PSCCH contains sidelink control information (SCI), with the COT sharing information and SCI located in adjacent time domain resources. The COT sharing information can be conveyed through a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) or may include multiple types of COT sharing information corresponding to different communication modes.
Additionally, the claims specify that the COT sharing information can provide critical details such as start and end times, duration, unused resources, and resources available for a third terminal device involved in COT sharing. The communication method is further supported by a communication apparatus comprising a memory and processor, which executes the necessary programs to facilitate the described communication processes. The patent also covers non-transitory computer-readable storage media that store instructions for executing the communication method, ensuring that the technology can be implemented across various devices.
