Partial-Sensing Sidelink Allocation for Resource Collision Avoidance

The patent applies preliminary action by performing sensing operations before resource selection to identify available resources. The UE monitors sidelink control information in advance, builds a sensing result, and uses this information to select resources that are less likely to cause collisions, thus resolving the contradiction between efficient partial sensing and collision avoidance.

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the UE continuously monitors sidelink control information and updates its sensing results based on received signals. This feedback loop allows the UE to adapt its resource selection based on current channel conditions and other UEs' transmissions, reducing collision risk while maintaining allocation efficiency.

The patent applies partial action by implementing partial sensing where the UE monitors only a subset of available resources or performs sensing at reduced density compared to full continuous monitoring. This approach maintains sufficient resource selection accuracy while significantly reducing power consumption by avoiding exhaustive monitoring of all possible resources.

The patent implements periodic action through discontinuous reception (DRX) cycles where the UE alternates between monitoring and sleep states. The UE performs sensing operations periodically rather than continuously, which reduces power consumption while maintaining adequate resource selection accuracy by sampling the channel at appropriate intervals.

The patent applies dynamics by making the DRX configuration adaptive rather than static. The UE can adjust its DRX cycle length and wake-up timing based on traffic conditions, channel state, and QoS requirements. This dynamic adjustment allows the system to switch between power-saving mode and responsive mode as needed, resolving the contradiction between power consumption and responsiveness.

The patent implements self-service through autonomous DRX configuration where the UE independently determines its own wake-up times and monitoring schedules based on its traffic patterns and channel conditions. This self-service approach allows the UE to optimize its own power consumption while maintaining adequate responsiveness without requiring constant network control.
