ACCESS CONTROL FOR FACILITATING DEVICE-TO-DEVICE COMMUNICATIONS

Abstract:

Aspects relate to wireless communication devices configured to facilitate power conservation and sidelink communications. According to one example, a wireless communication device can transmit a first sidelink transmission, determine one or more sidelink resources for receiving a second sidelink transmission based at least in part on the resources used to transmit the first sidelink transmission, monitor the determined one or more sidelink resources, and receive via the transceiver the second sidelink transmission on the monitored one or more sidelink resources. According to another example, a wireless communication device can receive a first sidelink transmission, determine one or more sidelink resources for transmitting a second sidelink transmission based at least in part on the received first sidelink transmission, and transmit the second sidelink transmission on the one or more of the determined sidelink resources.
