DEMAND AND RESPONSE FOR SIDELINK SYNCHRONIZATION SIGNAL BLOCK (S-SSB) TRANSMISSION

Abstract:

A method of wireless communications by a receiving sidelink user equipment includes detecting a lite sidelink synchronization signal (SL-SS) transmitted by a transmitting sidelink UE. The lite SL-SS may have a pattern with a reduced number of physical sidelink broadcast channel (PSBCH) symbols. The method also includes transmitting a demand requesting additional SL-SSs from the transmitting sidelink UE on indicated resources. Another method includes receiving a demand for additional sidelink synchronization signals (SL-SSs) from a receiving sidelink UE. This method further includes transmitting the additional SL-SSs in response to the demand.
