12.2.8.1.2 Conformance requirements

References: The conformance requirements covered in the present TC are specified in: TS 38.331 [22], subclause 5.8.9.1, 5.8.10.2, 5.8.10.3, 5.8.10.4 and 5.8.10.5. Unless otherwise stated these are Rel-16 requirements.

[TS 38.331, clause 5.8.9.1.1]

Figure 5.8.9.1.1-1: Sidelink RRC reconfiguration, successful

Figure 5.8.9.1.1-2: Sidelink RRC reconfiguration, failure

The purpose of this procedure is to modify a PC5-RRC connection, e.g. to establish/modify/release sidelink DRBs, to (re-)configure NR sidelink measurement and reporting, to (re-)configure sidelink CSI reference signal resources and CSI reporting latency bound.

The UE may initiate the sidelink RRC reconfiguration procedure and perform the operation in sub-clause 5.8.9.1.2 on the corresponding PC5-RRC connection in following cases:

– the release of sidelink DRBs associated with the peer UE, as specified in sub-clause 5.8.9.1a.1;

– the establishment of sidelink DRBs associated with the peer UE, as specified in sub-clause 5.8.9.1a.2;

– the modification for the parameters included in SLRB-Config of sidelink DRBs associated with the peer UE, as specified in sub-clause 5.8.9.1a.2;

– the (re-)configuration of the peer UE to perform NR sidelink measurement and report.

– the (re-)configuration of the sidelink CSI reference signal resources and CSI reporting latency bound.

In RRC_CONNECTED, the UE applies the NR sidelink communications parameters provided in RRCReconfiguration (if any). In RRC_IDLE or RRC_INACTIVE, the UE applies the NR sidelink communications parameters provided in system information (if any). For other cases, UEs apply the NR sidelink communications parameters provided in SidelinkPreconfigNR (if any). When UE performs state transition between above three cases, the UE applies the NR sidelink communications parameters provided in the new state, after acquisition of the new configurations. Before acquisition of the new configurations, UE continues applying the NR sidelink communications parameters provided in the old state.

[TS 38.331, clause 5.8.9.1.8]

The UE shall perform the following actions upon reception of the RRCReconfigurationFailureSidelink:

1> stop timer T400 for the destination, if running;

1> continue using the configuration used prior to corresponding RRCReconfigurationSidelink message;

1> if UE is in RRC_CONNECTED:

2> perform the sidelink UE information for NR sidelink communication procedure, as specified in 5.8.3.3 or sub-clause 5.10.15 in TS 36.331 [10];

[TS 38.331, clause 5.8.3.3]

The UE shall set the contents of the SidelinkUEInformationNR message as follows:

1> if the UE initiates the procedure to indicate it is (no more) interested to receive NR sidelink communication or to request (configuration/ release) of NR sidelink communication transmission resources or to report to the network that a sidelink radio link failure or sidelink RRC reconfiguration failure has been declared (i.e. UE includes all concerned information, irrespective of what triggered the procedure):

2> if SIB12 including sl-ConfigCommonNR is provided by the PCell:

3> if configured by upper layers to transmit NR sidelink communication:

4> if a sidelink radio link failure or a sidelink RRC reconfiguration failure has been declared, according to clauses 5.8.9.3 and 5.8.9.1.8, respectively;

5> include sl-FailureList and set its fields as follows for each destination for which it reports the NR sidelink communication failure:

6> set sl-DestinationIdentity to the destination identity configured by upper layer for NR sidelink communication transmission;

6> else if RRCReconfigurationFailureSidelink is received:

7> set sl-Failure as configFailure for the associated destination for the NR sidelink communication transmission;

1> else:

2> submit the SidelinkUEInformationNR message to lower layers for transmission.

References: The conformance requirements covered in the present TC are specified in: TS 38.331 [22], subclause 5.8.9.1, 5.8.10.2, 5.8.10.3, 5.8.10.4 and 5.8.10.5. Unless otherwise stated these are Rel-16 requirements.

[TS 38.331, clause 5.8.9.1.1]

Figure 5.8.9.1.1-1: Sidelink RRC reconfiguration, successful

Figure 5.8.9.1.1-2: Sidelink RRC reconfiguration, failure

The purpose of this procedure is to modify a PC5-RRC connection, e.g. to establish/modify/release sidelink DRBs, to (re-)configure NR sidelink measurement and reporting, to (re-)configure sidelink CSI reference signal resources and CSI reporting latency bound.

The UE may initiate the sidelink RRC reconfiguration procedure and perform the operation in sub-clause 5.8.9.1.2 on the corresponding PC5-RRC connection in following cases:

– the release of sidelink DRBs associated with the peer UE, as specified in sub-clause 5.8.9.1a.1;

– the establishment of sidelink DRBs associated with the peer UE, as specified in sub-clause 5.8.9.1a.2;

– the modification for the parameters included in SLRB-Config of sidelink DRBs associated with the peer UE, as specified in sub-clause 5.8.9.1a.2;

– the (re-)configuration of the peer UE to perform NR sidelink measurement and report.

– the (re-)configuration of the sidelink CSI reference signal resources and CSI reporting latency bound.

In RRC_CONNECTED, the UE applies the NR sidelink communications parameters provided in RRCReconfiguration (if any). In RRC_IDLE or RRC_INACTIVE, the UE applies the NR sidelink communications parameters provided in system information (if any). For other cases, UEs apply the NR sidelink communications parameters provided in SidelinkPreconfigNR (if any). When UE performs state transition between above three cases, the UE applies the NR sidelink communications parameters provided in the new state, after acquisition of the new configurations. Before acquisition of the new configurations, UE continues applying the NR sidelink communications parameters provided in the old state.

[TS 38.331, clause 5.8.9.1.2]

The UE shall set the contents of RRCReconfigurationSidelink message as follows:

1> start timer T400 for the destination associated with the sidelink DRB;

The UE shall submit the RRCReconfigurationSidelink message to lower layers for transmission.

[TS 38.331, clause 5.8.9.3]

The UE shall:

1> upon indication from sidelink RLC entity that the maximum number of retransmissions for a specific destination has been reached; or

1> upon T400 expiry for a specific destination; or

1> upon indication from MAC entity that the maximum number of consecutive HARQ DTX for a specific destination has been reached; or

1> upon integrity check failure indication from sidelink PDCP entity concerning SL-SRB2 or SL-SRB3 for a specific destination:

2> consider sidelink radio link failure to be detected for this destination;

2> release the DRBs of this destination, in according to sub-clause 5.8.9.1a.1;

2> release the SRBs of this destination, in according to sub-clause 5.8.9.1a.3;

2> discard the NR sidelink communication related configuration of this destination;

2> reset the sidelink specific MAC of this destination;

2> consider the PC5-RRC connection is released for the destination;

2> indicate the release of the PC5-RRC connection to the upper layers for this destination (i.e. PC5 is unavailable);

2> if UE is in RRC_CONNECTED:

3> perform the sidelink UE information for NR sidelink communication procedure, as specified in 5.8.3.3;

NOTE: It is up to UE implementation on whether and how to indicate to upper layers to maintain the keep-alive procedure [55].

[TS 38.331, clause 5.8.3.3]

The UE shall set the contents of the SidelinkUEInformationNR message as follows:

1> if the UE initiates the procedure to indicate it is (no more) interested to receive NR sidelink communication or to request (configuration/ release) of NR sidelink communication transmission resources or to report to the network that a sidelink radio link failure or sidelink RRC reconfiguration failure has been declared (i.e. UE includes all concerned information, irrespective of what triggered the procedure):

2> if SIB12 including sl-ConfigCommonNR is provided by the PCell:

3> if configured by upper layers to transmit NR sidelink communication:

4> if a sidelink radio link failure or a sidelink RRC reconfiguration failure has been declared, according to clauses 5.8.9.3 and 5.8.9.1.8, respectively;

5> include sl-FailureList and set its fields as follows for each destination for which it reports the NR sidelink communication failure:

6> set sl-DestinationIdentity to the destination identity configured by upper layer for NR sidelink communication transmission;

6> if the sidelink RLF is detected as specified in sub-clause 5.8.9.3:

7> set sl-Failure as rlf for the associated destination for the NR sidelink communication transmission;

1> else:

2> submit the SidelinkUEInformationNR message to lower layers for transmission.

[TS 38.322, clause 5.3.2]

When an RLC SDU or an RLC SDU segment is considered for retransmission, the transmitting side of the AM RLC entity shall:

– if the RLC SDU or RLC SDU segment is considered for retransmission for the first time:

– set the RETX_COUNT associated with the RLC SDU to zero.

– else, if it (the RLC SDU or the RLC SDU segment that is considered for retransmission) is not pending for retransmission already and the RETX_COUNT associated with the RLC SDU has not been incremented due to another negative acknowledgment in the same STATUS PDU:

– increment the RETX_COUNT.

– if RETX_COUNT = maxRetxThreshold:

– indicate to upper layers that max retransmission has been reached.

[TS 38.321, clause 5.22.1.3.3]

The HARQ-based Sidelink RLF detection procedure is used to detect Sidelink RLF based on a number of consecutive DTX on PSFCH reception occasions for a PC5-RRC connection.

RRC configures the following parameter to control HARQ-based Sidelink RLF detection:

sl-maxNumConsecutiveDTX.

The following UE variable is used for HARQ-based Sidelink RLF detection.

numConsecutiveDTX, which is maintained for each PC5-RRC connection.

The Sidelink HARQ Entity shall (re-)initialize numConsecutiveDTX to zero for each PC5-RRC connection which has been established by upper layers, if any, upon establishment of the PC5-RRC connection or (re)configuration of sl-maxNumConsecutiveDTX.

The Sidelink HARQ Entity shall for each PSFCH reception occasion associated to the PSSCH transmission:

1> if PSFCH reception is absent on the PSFCH reception occasion:

2> increment numConsecutiveDTX by 1;

2> if numConsecutiveDTX reaches sl-maxNumConsecutiveDTX:

3> indicate HARQ-based Sidelink RLF detection to RRC.

1> else:

2> re-initialize numConsecutiveDTX to zero.
