Application: Method and apparatus for carrier aggregation in sidelink communication (Patent ID: US20230422286A1)

The patent filed by ZTE Corp. discloses a method and apparatus for carrier aggregation in wireless communication nodes. The method involves receiving a downlink signal with specific threshold values from a second node to determine suitable carriers for LTE V2X sidelink communication. The threshold values are separately configured and associated with quality of service requirements, allowing for efficient carrier selection based on channel busy ratio measurements.

The apparatus described in the patent includes a receiver to receive the downlink signal and a processor to determine the appropriate carrier based on the threshold values for LTE V2X sidelink communication. The processor uses the threshold values to assess carrier suitability and quality of service requirements, ensuring optimal data transmission. Additionally, the patent covers methods for transmitting the threshold values to other nodes and computer-readable mediums storing instructions for executing the described methods, emphasizing the practical application of the disclosed technology in wireless communication systems.
