Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a sidelink channel state information (CSI) reference signal (CSI-RS). The UE may transmit, based at least in part on the sidelink CSI-RS, a CSI report on a physical sidelink feedback channel. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Claims (81)

1. A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

receiving a sidelink channel state information (CSI) reference signal (CSI-RS); and

transmitting, based at least in part on the sidelink CSI-RS, a compact CSI report on a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH),

wherein the compact CSI report is one or two bits in size and indicates that a non-compact CSI report is to be transmitted on another sidelink channel in a particular set of time-frequency resources.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a CSI report configuration in at least one of:

a radio resource control (RRC) communication from a network entity,

an RRC communication from another UE,

a physical sidelink broadcast channel communication, or

a physical sidelink control channel communication; and

wherein transmitting the compact CSI report comprises:

transmitting the compact CSI report based at least in part on the CSI report configuration.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the CSI report configuration indicates that the compact CSI report is to be transmitted.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

transmitting hybrid automatic repeat request feedback on the PSFCH with the compact CSI report.

5. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the compact CSI report includes a channel quality indicator that is based at least in part on the sidelink CSI-RS.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compact CSI report is in a sequence-based PSFCH format.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein transmitting the compact CSI report comprises:

transmitting the compact CSI report in the sequence-based PSFCH format with repetition across a plurality of symbols.

8. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the compact CSI report indicates CSI feedback that is differential to a previous compact CSI report.

9. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the compact CSI report indicates CSI feedback that is differential to a previous non-compact CSI report.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein a periodicity of the compact CSI report and a periodicity of the previous non-compact CSI report are different periodicities.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compact CSI report is in a non-sequence-based PSFCH format.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compact CSI report is in a non-sequence-based PSFCH format that includes:

a coded bit of CSI feedback, and

a coded bit of hybrid automatic repeat request feedback.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compact CSI report is at least one of:

time division multiplexed on the PSFCH with one or more other CSI reports, or

frequency-division multiplexed on the PSFCH with one or more other CSI reports.

14. A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

transmitting a sidelink channel state information (CSI) reference signal (CSI-RS); and

receiving, based at least in part on the sidelink CSI-RS, a compact CSI report on a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH),

wherein the compact CSI report is one or two bits in size and indicates that a non-compact CSI report is to be transmitted on another sidelink channel in a particular set of time-frequency resources.

15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising:

receiving hybrid automatic repeat request feedback on the PSFCH with the compact CSI report.

16. The method of claim 14 ,

wherein the compact CSI report includes a channel quality indicator that is based at least in part on the sidelink CSI-RS.

17. The method of claim 14 , wherein the compact CSI report is in a sequence-based PSFCH format.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein receiving the compact CSI report comprises:

receiving the compact CSI report in the sequence-based PSFCH format with repetition across a plurality of symbols.

19. The method of claim 14 ,

wherein the compact CSI report indicates CSI feedback that is differential to a previous compact CSI report.

20. The method of claim 14 ,

wherein the compact CSI report indicates CSI feedback that is differential to a previous non-compact CSI report.

21. The method of claim 20 , wherein a periodicity of the compact CSI report and a periodicity of the previous non-compact CSI report are different periodicities.

22. The method of claim 14 , wherein the compact CSI report is in a non-sequence-based PSFCH format.

23. The method of claim 14 , wherein the compact CSI report is in a non-sequence-based PSFCH format that includes:

a coded bit of CSI feedback, and

a coded bit of hybrid automatic repeat request feedback.

24. The method of claim 14 , wherein the compact CSI report is at least one of:

time division multiplexed on the PSFCH with one or more other CSI reports, or

frequency-division multiplexed on the PSFCH with one or more other CSI reports.

25. A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:

a memory; and

one or more processors coupled to the memory, the one or more processors configured to:

receive a sidelink channel state information (CSI) reference signal (CSI-RS); and

transmit, based at least in part on the sidelink CSI-RS, a compact CSI report on a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH),

wherein the compact CSI report is one or two bits in size and indicates that a non-compact CSI report is to be transmitted on another sidelink channel in a particular set of time-frequency resources.

26. A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:

a memory; and

one or more processors coupled to the memory, the one or more processors configured to:

transmit a sidelink channel state information (CSI) reference signal (CSI-RS); and

receive, based at least in part on the sidelink CSI-RS, a compact CSI report on a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH),

wherein the compact CSI report is one or two bits in size and indicates that a non-compact CSI report is to be transmitted on another sidelink channel in a particular set of time-frequency resources.

27. The UE of claim 26 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

receive hybrid automatic repeat request feedback on the PSFCH with the compact CSI report.

28. The UE of claim 25 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

receive a CSI report configuration in at least one of:

a radio resource control (RRC) communication from a network entity,

an RRC communication from another UE,

a physical sidelink broadcast channel communication, or

a physical sidelink control channel communication; and

wherein the one or more processors, to transmit the compact CSI report, are configured to:

transmit the compact CSI report based at least in part on the CSI report configuration.

29. The UE of claim 25 , wherein the one or more processors, to transmit the compact CSI report, are configured to:

transmit the compact CSI report in a sequence-based PSFCH format with repetition across a plurality of symbols.

30. The UE of claim 26 , wherein the one or more processors, to receive the compact CSI report, are configured to:

receive the compact CSI report in a sequence-based PSFCH format with repetition across a plurality of symbols.
