JOINT RESOURCE ASSIGNMENT FOR A USER EQUIPMENT (UE) AND A RELAY UE FOR UPLINK AND SIDELINK TRANSMISSIONS

Abstract:

Aspects of the disclosure relate to wireless communications systems including the use of a joint grant generated in and transmitted by a base station to a user equipment (UE) over a first communication link for establishing a sidelink (SL) with a relay UE. The joint grant provides a first resource assignment for establishing the SL between the UE and relay UE, as well as a second resource assignment that is transmitted to the relay UE for establishing an uplink from the relay UE to the base station.
