User Equipment Sidelink Resource Selection to Prevent Subframe Overlap

The patent segments the time domain resources by excluding specific subframes (first and second sets of subframes) from the resource selection pool. This segmentation prevents resource overlap by dividing the available time resources into excluded portions and included portions, ensuring that selected resources do not overlap while maintaining flexibility in the included time periods.

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining the first and second sets of subframes to be excluded before the resource selection process. These excluded subframes are determined based on predetermined conditions (such as being within a certain duration of each other or meeting specific timing criteria), establishing constraints in advance to prevent resource overlap during subsequent transmission opportunities.

The patent segments the available time resources by excluding specific subframe sets, creating distinct time periods for different transmission opportunities. This segmentation ensures that resources are allocated to non-overlapping time periods, maintaining high reliability while still achieving effective resource utilization through the included subframes.

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-identifying and excluding subframe sets that would cause overlap before the resource selection process begins. These excluded subframes are determined based on predetermined timing relationships, establishing safe resource allocation boundaries in advance to ensure reliability while maximizing usable resource capacity.
