Abstract
This disclosure relates to methods and devices for wireless sidelink resource allocation for a user equipment (UE) assisted by an anchor UE. Various mechanisms are disclosed for handling releasing of the anchor UE initiated by either the anchor UE or the assisted UE, and for handling sidelink resources already allocated to the UE by the anchor UE prior to the release. Additional mechanisms are disclosed for using an anchor UE to assist in allocating sidelink resources to multiple UEs configurable in a shared manner or non-shared manner.
