It will be apparent that systems and/or methods described herein may be implemented in different forms of hardware and/or a combination of hardware and software. The actual specialized control hardware or software code used to implement these systems and/or methods is not limiting of the aspects. Thus, the operation and behavior of the systems and/or methods are described herein without reference to specific software code, since those skilled in the art will understand that software and hardware can be designed to implement the systems and/or methods based, at least in part, on the description herein.
  • satisfying a threshold may, depending on the context, refer to a value being greater than the threshold, greater than or equal to the threshold, less than the threshold, less than or equal to the threshold, equal to the threshold, not equal to the threshold, or the like.
  • “at least one of: a, b, or c” is intended to cover a, b, c, a + b, a + c, b + c, and a + b + c, as well as any combination with multiples of the same element (e.g., a + a, a + a + a, a + a + b, a + a + c, a + b + b, a + c + c, b + b, b + b + b, b + b + c, c + c, and c + c + c, or any other ordering of a, b, and c).
  • the terms “has,” “have,” “having,” or the like are intended to be open-ended terms that do not limit an element that they modify (e.g., an element “having” A may also have B). Further, the phrase “based on” is intended to mean “based, at least in part, on” unless explicitly stated otherwise. Also, as used herein, the term “or” is intended to be inclusive when used in a series and may be used interchangeably with “and/or,” unless explicitly stated otherwise (e.g., if used in combination with “either” or “only one of’).

Abstract

Divers aspects de la présente divulgation portent d'une manière générale sur la communication sans fil. Selon certains aspects, un équipement utilisateur (UE) peut recevoir, en provenance d'une entité de réseau, une indication d'une première autorisation de liaison latérale associée à un premier ensemble de ressources. L'UE peut recevoir, en provenance de l'entité de réseau, une indication d'une seconde autorisation de liaison latérale associée à un second ensemble de ressources, le premier ensemble de ressources se chevauchant au moins partiellement dans un domaine temporel avec le second ensemble de ressources. L'UE peut réaliser une action basée, au moins en partie, sur le premier ensemble de ressources se chevauchant au moins partiellement dans le domaine temporel avec le second ensemble de ressources. L'UE peut transmettre un ou plusieurs messages de liaison latérale au moyen d'au moins l'une de la première autorisation de liaison latérale ou de la seconde autorisation de liaison latérale sur la base, au moins en partie, de la réalisation de l'action. De nombreux autres aspects sont décrits.
