AI Technical Summary
In wireless communications systems, especially in industrial internet of things (I-IoT) and vehicle to everything (V2X) applications, sidelink diversity is needed to enhance communication reliability and quality, particularly when direct downlink connections between base stations and user equipment (UEs) are degraded or broken due to fading or blockage.
The system employs a network node, such as a base station or programmable logic control (PLC) node, to determine a helper UE group and allocate sidelink resources to a helper UE. The helper UE then forwards data transmissions from the network node to the target UE using a sidelink channel, with the option to decode part of the data before retransmission.
This approach improves the reliability and efficiency of sidelink communications by reducing signaling overhead and enhancing network operations, thereby ensuring continuous data transmission even when direct connections are compromised.
