name: SL
full_form: Sidelink
context: to its serving gNB, e.g. for alignment of the Uu and SL DRX configurations. SL on-duration timer, SL inactivity-timer, SL HARQ RTT timer, and SL HARQ retransmission timer are supported in unicast. SL HARQ RTT timer and SL HARQ retransmission timer are maintained per SL process at the RX UE. In addition to (pre)configured values for each of these timers, SL HARQ RTT timer value can be derived from the retransmission resource timing when SCI indicates more than one transmission resource. SL DRX MAC CE is introduced for SL DRX operation in unicast only. For groupcast/broadcast, SL DRX is configured commonly among multiple UEs based on QoS profile and Destination L2 ID. Multiple SL DRX configurations can be supported for each of groupcast/broadcast. SL on-duration timer, SL inactivity-timer, SL HARQ RTT and SL retransmission timers are supported for groupcast. Only SL on-duration timer is supported for broadcast. SL DRX cycle, SL on-duration, and SL inactivity timer (only for groupcast)
description: Sidelink (SL) enables direct communication between user equipment (UEs) without relying on infrastructure like base stations. It's crucial in 5G networks for device-to-device (D2D) communication and improving network efficiency.
explanation: The text describes Sidelink as a technology with specific functionalities like D2D communication and impact on network efficiency, placing it firmly within the 'Technology' category.
