Abstract

A first wireless device receives configuration parameters of a plurality of sidelink (SL) carriers. The first wireless device selects, for SL data of an SL logical channel, an SL carrier from one or more SL carriers of the plurality of SL carriers based on: an SL feedback transmission being enabled for the SL logical channel; and each of the one or more SL carriers including at least one physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) resource. The first wireless device transmits, to a second wireless device, the SL data via the SL carrier.

Claims (47)

1 . A method comprising:

receiving, by a first wireless device, configuration parameters of a plurality of sidelink (SL) carriers;

selecting, for SL data of an SL logical channel, an SL carrier from one or more SL carriers of the plurality of SL carriers based on:

an SL feedback transmission being enabled for the SL logical channel; and

each of the one or more SL carriers comprising at least one physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) resource; and

transmitting, to a second wireless device, the SL data via the SL carrier.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising triggering an SL carrier selection procedure for the SL data of the SL logical channel.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration parameters of the plurality of SL carriers further comprise:

one or more first SL carriers, each comprising at least one PSFCH resource; and

one or more second SL carriers with no PSFCH resource.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising selecting, for an SL carrier selection procedure, an SL carrier from the one or more SL carriers.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the SL feedback transmission indicates an SL hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback transmission of an SL transport block (TB) of the SL logical channel.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the one or more SL carriers comprises at least one SL resource pool comprising at least one PSFCH resource.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining the one or more SL carriers based on a channel busy ratio (CBR) of each of the one or more SL carriers being below a CBR threshold; and

wherein the selecting is further based on a CBR of the SL carrier being the lowest among CBRs of the one or more SL carriers.

8 . A wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:

receive configuration parameters of a plurality of sidelink (SL) carriers;

select, for SL data of an SL logical channel, an SL carrier from one or more SL carriers of the plurality of SL carriers based on:

an SL feedback transmission being enabled for the SL logical channel; and

each of the one or more SL carriers comprising at least one physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) resource; and

transmit, to a second wireless device, the SL data via the SL carrier.

9 . The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to trigger an SL carrier selection procedure for the SL data of the SL logical channel.

10 . The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the configuration parameters of the plurality of SL carriers further comprise:

one or more first SL carriers, each comprising at least one PSFCH resource; and

one or more second SL carriers with no PSFCH resource.

11 . The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to select, for an SL carrier selection procedure, an SL carrier from the one or more SL carriers.

12 . The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the SL feedback transmission indicates an SL hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback transmission of an SL transport block (TB) of the SL logical channel.

13 . The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein each of the one or more SL carriers comprises at least one SL resource pool comprising at least one PSFCH resource.

14 . The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to:

determine the one or more SL carriers based on a channel busy ratio (CBR) of each of the one or more SL carriers being below a CBR threshold; and

wherein the selecting is further based on a CBR of the SL carrier being the lowest among CBRs of the one or more SL carriers.

15 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a wireless device, cause the wireless device to:

receive configuration parameters of a plurality of sidelink (SL) carriers;

select, for SL data of an SL logical channel, an SL carrier from one or more SL carriers of the plurality of SL carriers based on:

an SL feedback transmission being enabled for the SL logical channel; and

each of the one or more SL carriers comprising at least one physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) resource; and

transmit, to a second wireless device, the SL data via the SL carrier.

16 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to trigger an SL carrier selection procedure for the SL data of the SL logical channel.

17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the configuration parameters of the plurality of SL carriers further comprise:

one or more first SL carriers, each comprising at least one PSFCH resource; and

one or more second SL carriers with no PSFCH resource.

18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions further cause the wireless device to select, for an SL carrier selection procedure, an SL carrier from the one or more SL carriers.

19 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the SL feedback transmission indicates an SL hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback transmission of an SL transport block (TB) of the SL logical channel.

20 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein each of the one or more SL carriers comprises at least one SL resource pool comprising at least one PSFCH resource.
