Abstract

A wireless device receives, from a base station, one or more configuration messages comprising a plurality of sidelink feedback resources via one of a system information block or a radio resource control message. A determination is made, based on a received signal power from the base station, a sidelink feedback resource of the plurality of sidelink feedback resources. A sidelink feedback signal is transmitted, to a second wireless device, via the sidelink feedback resource.

Claims (37)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a first wireless device from a base station, one or more configuration parameters comprising a plurality of sidelink feedback resources, wherein at least two sidelink feedback resources, of the plurality of sidelink feedback resources, are associated with different received signal powers from the base station, wherein each of the at least two sidelink feedback resources are at least one of a time resource or a frequency resource;

selecting, based on a received signal power from the base station, a sidelink feedback resource from the at least two sidelink feedback resources; and

transmitting a sidelink feedback signal, to a second wireless device, via the sidelink feedback resource.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the received signal power from the base station comprises a reference signal received power (RSRP) comprising a linear average of power contributions of resource elements of one or more antenna ports that carry reference signals configured for RSRP measurements.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the received signal power from the base station comprises a pathloss comprising a reference signal transmission power minus a RSRP.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining, based on the received signal power from the base station, a transmission power of the sidelink feedback signal.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, by the first wireless device from the base station, one or more messages comprising one or more conditions for the at least two sidelink feedback resources.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising determining, based on the received signal power from the base station satisfying at least one of the one or more conditions, the sidelink feedback resource.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the one or more conditions comprise a bound of the received signal power from the base station.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sidelink feedback signal comprises a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, by the first wireless device from the second wireless device, one or more transport blocks via a physical layer sidelink shared channel.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising transmitting, by the first wireless device, the sidelink feedback signal in response to the receiving of the one or more transport blocks.

11. 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 from a base station, one or more configuration parameters comprising a plurality of sidelink feedback resources, wherein at least two sidelink feedback resources, of the plurality of sidelink feedback resources, are associated with different received signal powers from the base station, wherein each of the at least two sidelink feedback resources are at least one of a time resource or a frequency resource;

select, based on a received signal power from the base station, a sidelink feedback resource from the at least two sidelink feedback resources; and

transmit a sidelink feedback signal to a second wireless device via the sidelink feedback resource.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the received signal power from the base station comprises a reference signal received power (RSRP) defined as a linear average over power contributions of resource elements of one or more antenna ports that carry reference signals configured for RSRP measurement, or a pathloss from the base station which is defined as a reference signal transmission power minus the RSRP.

13. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to determine a transmission power of the sidelink feedback signal based on the received signal power from the base station.

14. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to receive from the base station, one or more messages comprising one or more conditions for the at least two sidelink feedback resources.

15. The wireless device of claim 14 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to determine the sidelink feedback resource based on the received signal power from the base station satisfying at least one of the one or more conditions.

16. The wireless device of claim 15 , wherein the one or more conditions comprise an upper bound and/or a lower bound of the received signal power from the base station.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the sidelink feedback signal comprises a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback or a channel state information (CSI) feedback.

18. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to receive, from the second wireless device, one or more transport blocks via a physical layer sidelink shared channel.

19. The wireless device of claim 18 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to transmit the sidelink feedback signal in response to the one or more transport blocks being received.

20. A system comprising:

a wireless device comprising:

one or more first processors; and

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

receive from a base station, one or more configuration parameters comprising a plurality of sidelink feedback resources, wherein at least two sidelink feedback resources, of the plurality of sidelink feedback resources, are associated with different received signal powers from the base station, wherein each of the at least two sidelink feedback resources are at least one of a time resource or a frequency resource;

select, based on a received signal power from the base station, a sidelink feedback resource from the at least two sidelink feedback resources; and

transmit a sidelink feedback signal to a second wireless device via the sidelink feedback resource; and

the base station comprising:

one or more second processors; and

second memory storing second instructions that, when executed by the one or more second processors, cause the base station to transmit the one or more configuration parameters comprising the plurality of sidelink feedback resources to the wireless device.
