Abstract
A method and apparatus for performing sidelink communications in a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) using Long Term Evolution (LTE) and New Radio (NR) technologies is described herein. A WTRU receives a downlink control information (DCI) on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmission from a base station, where the DCI is associated with a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) that is scrambled using a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI). The WTRU determines that the DCI indicates resources for a LTE sidelink transmission when the CRC is scrambled using a sidelink semi-persistent scheduling V-RNTI, and determines the DCI indicates resources for a new radio (NR) sidelink transmission when the CRC is scrambled using a sidelink (SL)-RNTI. The WTRU transmits SL data using the resources indicated by the determined DCI. Additional embodiments are disclosed.
