POWER EFFICIENT TRANSMISSION AND SCHEDULING OF COOPERATIVE DEVICES IN THE UPLINK

Fuente: Wipo "precision farming"
A user equipment, UE, (2312A-2312D, 2400, 2702, 2806), method, computer program, and computer program product for scheduling a group data transmission in a group of devices referred to as group devices is provided. The method includes transmitting (501) data to the group devices over a sidelink at a first time. The method includes transmitting (503) a minimum radio quality threshold to the group devices with the data for each group device to compare the group device's quality to the minimum radio quality threshold at a coordinated transmission time. The method includes cooperatively transmitting (505) the data towards a network node at the coordinated transmission time based on the group device quality being above the minimum radio quality threshold on either a configured grant or a dynamically scheduled grant. An analogous network node, method, computer program, and computer program product are also provided.
