5.1.1 SS reference signal received power (SS-RSRP)

Definition

SS reference signal received power (SS-RSRP) is defined as the linear average over the power contributions (in [W]) of the resource elements that carry secondary synchronization signals. The measurement time resource(s) for SS-RSRP are confined within SS/PBCH Block Measurement Time Configuration (SMTC) window duration. If SS-RSRP is used for L1-RSRP as configured by reporting configurations as defined in TS 38.214 [6], the measurement time resources(s) restriction by SMTC window duration is not applicable.

For SS-RSRP determination demodulation reference signals for physical broadcast channel (PBCH) and, if indicated by higher layers, CSI reference signals in addition to secondary synchronization signals may be used. SS-RSRP using demodulation reference signal for PBCH or CSI reference signal shall be measured by linear averaging over the power contributions of the resource elements that carry corresponding reference signals taking into account power scaling for the reference signals as defined in TS 38.213 [5]. If SS-RSRP is not used for L1-RSRP, the additional use of CSI reference signals for SS-RSRP determination is not applicable.

SS-RSRP shall be measured only among the reference signals corresponding to SS/PBCH blocks with the same SS/PBCH block index and the same physical-layer cell identity.

If SS-RSRP is not used for L1-RSRP and higher-layers indicate certain SS/PBCH blocks for performing SS-RSRP measurements, then SS-RSRP is measured only from the indicated set of SS/PBCH block(s).

For frequency range 1, the reference point for the SS-RSRP shall be the antenna connector of the UE. For frequency range 2, SS-RSRP shall be measured based on the combined signal from antenna elements corresponding to a given receiver branch. For frequency range 1 and 2, if receiver diversity is in use by the UE, the reported SS-RSRP value shall not be lower than the corresponding SS-RSRP of any of the individual receiver branches.

NOTE 2: The power per resource element is determined from the energy received during the useful part of the symbol, excluding the CP.

CSI reference signal received power (CSI-RSRP), is defined as the linear average over the power contributions (in [W]) of the resource elements of the antenna port(s) that carry CSI reference signals configured for RSRP measurements within the considered measurement frequency bandwidth in the configured CSI-RS occasions.

NOTE 2: SL CR is evaluated for each (re)transmission.

NOTE 3: In evaluating SL CR, the UE shall assume the transmission parameter used at slot n is reused according to the existing grant(s) in slot [n+1, n+b] without packet dropping.

NOTE 4: The slot index is based on physical slot index.

NOTE 5: SL CR can be computed per priority level

NOTE 6: A resource is considered granted if it is a member of a selected sidelink grant as defined in TS 38.321 [7].

5.1.27 Sidelink channel busy ratio (SL CBR)

Definition

SL Channel Busy Ratio (SL CBR) measured in slot n is defined as the portion of sub-channels in the resource pool whose SL RSSI measured by the UE exceed a (pre-)configured threshold sensed over a CBR measurement window [na, n-1], wherein a is equal to 100 or 100·2µ slots, according to higher layer parameter sl-TimeWindowSizeCBR. When UE is configured to perform partial sensing by higher layers (including when SL DRX is configured), SL RSSI is measured in slots where the UE performs partial sensing and where the UE performs PSCCH/PSSCH reception within the CBR measurement window. The calculation of SL CBR is limited within the slots for which the SL RSSI is measured. If the number of SL RSSI measurement slots within the CBR measurement window is below a (pre-)configured threshold, a (pre-)configured SL CBR value is used.
