Abstract

A first wireless device receives, from a base station, configuration parameters of a resource pool of a sidelink. The configuration parameters indicate a primary zone configuration, a secondary zone configuration, and a first primary zone identifier of a first primary zone. a second primary zone identifier of a second primary zone in which the first wireless device is positioned, is determined based on a geographic location of the first wireless device using the primary zone configuration. A secondary zone identifier of a secondary zone in which the first wireless device is positioned, is determined based on the geographic location using the secondary zone configuration. The first wireless device transmits control information indicating the secondary zone identifier to second wireless device(s). The control information is transmitted via the resource pool, in response to the second primary zone identifier being the same as the first primary zone identifier.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
determining by a first wireless device:
a second primary zone identifier of a second primary zone in which the first wireless device is positioned, based on a geographic location of the first wireless device using a primary zone configuration; and
a secondary zone identifier of a secondary zone in which the first wireless device is positioned, based on the geographic location using a secondary zone configuration; and

transmitting, by the first wireless device, to one or more second wireless devices, control information indicating the secondary zone identifier, wherein the transmitting is via a sidelink resource pool in response to the second primary zone identifier being the same as a first primary zone identifier of a first primary zone associated with the sidelink resource pool.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving configuration parameters of the sidelink resource pool, the configuration parameters indicating:
the primary zone configuration;
the secondary zone configuration; and
the first primary zone identifier; and
one or more distance thresholds.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the control information further indicates a distance threshold of the one or more distance thresholds.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising receiving a downlink control information (DCI) indicating:
the secondary zone configuration; and
the distance threshold.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the distance threshold equals a quantized value of a radius of a communication range.

6. The method of claim 2 , wherein the configuration parameters further indicate a second secondary zone identifier of a second secondary zone.

7. The method of claim 2 , wherein the sidelink resource pool comprises a plurality of subchannels.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the configuration parameters further indicate a second secondary zone identifier of a second secondary zone, and wherein the second secondary zone identifier is associated with a subchannel of the plurality of subchannels.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the primary zone configuration comprises at least one of:
a length parameter;
a width parameter; and
a height parameter.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the secondary zone configuration comprises least one of:
a length parameter;
a width parameter; and
a height parameter.

11. A wireless device comprising:
one or more processors; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:
determine:
a second primary zone identifier of a second primary zone in which the wireless device is positioned, based on a geographic location of the wireless device using a primary zone configuration; and
a secondary zone identifier of a secondary zone in which the wireless device is positioned, based on the geographic location using a secondary zone configuration; and

transmit control information, to one or more second wireless devices, indicating the secondary zone identifier, wherein transmission of the control information is via a sidelink resource pool in response to the second primary zone identifier being the same as a first primary zone identifier of a first primary zone associated with the sidelink resource pool.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to receive configuration parameters of the sidelink resource pool, the configuration parameters indicating:
the primary zone configuration;
the secondary zone configuration; and
the first primary zone identifier; and
one or more distance thresholds.

13. The wireless device of claim 12 , wherein the control information further indicates a distance threshold of the one or more distance thresholds.

14. The wireless device of claim 13 , further comprising receiving a downlink control information (DCI) indicating:
the secondary zone configuration; and
the distance threshold.

15. The wireless device of claim 14 , wherein the distance threshold equals a quantized value of a radius of a communication range.

16. The wireless device of claim 12 , wherein the configuration parameters further indicate a second secondary zone identifier of a second secondary zone.

17. The wireless device of claim 12 , wherein the sidelink resource pool comprises a plurality of subchannels.

18. The wireless device of claim 17 , wherein the configuration parameters further indicate a second secondary zone identifier of a second secondary zone, and wherein the second secondary zone identifier is associated with a subchannel of the plurality of subchannels.

19. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the primary zone configuration or the secondary zone configuration comprises at least one of:
a length parameter;
a width parameter; and
a height parameter.

20. A system comprising:
a base station comprising:
one or more first processors; and
first memory storing first instructions that, when executed by the one or more first processors, cause the base station to transmit configuration parameters of a sidelink resource pool of a sidelink, wherein the configuration parameters indicate:
a primary zone configuration;
a secondary zone configuration; and
a first primary zone identifier of a first primary zone associated with the sidelink resource pool; and

a wireless device comprising:
one or more second processors; and
second memory storing second instructions that, when executed by the one or more second processors, cause the wireless device to:
determine:
a second primary zone identifier of a second primary zone in which the wireless device is positioned, based on a geographic location of the wireless device using the primary zone configuration; and
a secondary zone identifier of a secondary zone in which the wireless device is positioned, based on the geographic location using the secondary zone configuration; and

transmit control information indicating the secondary zone identifier, wherein transmission of the control information is via the sidelink resource pool in response to the second primary zone identifier being the same as the first primary zone identifier.
