The application for the patent was published on Aug. 22, under issue no. 34/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to COT interruption avoidance. An apparatus determines that a first sidelink transport block (TB) among a plurality of sidelink TBs is not to be retransmitted. A set of consecutive slots in a channel occupancy time (COT) initiated by the apparatus are reserved for initial sidelink transmissions and retransmissions of the plurality of sidelink TBs. Moreover, the apparatus transmits a second sidelink TB in a slot among the set of consecutive slots reserved for retransmitting the first sidelink TB. As a result, it is possible to avoid additional system overhead due to COT loss, and improve transmission efficiency."
The patent application was internationally filed on Feb. 17, 2023, under International application No.PCT/CN2023/077004.
