Transmission apparatus and method of feedback information
A transmission apparatus and method of feedback information. A user equipment receives or generates sidelink feedback information and transmit the sidelink feedback information to a network device, thereby providing a feedback mechanism of sidelink transmission, and improving reliability of data transmission of a sidelink.
1. A transmission apparatus of feedback information, provided at a first user equipment side, the apparatus comprising:
a receiver configured to receive indication information related to transmission of feedback information from a network device, and
respectively receive, from at least two second user equipments belonging to the same group, feedback information of sidelink transmission from the first user equipment to the at least two second user equipments; and
a transmitter configured to transmit feedback information of sidelink transmission to the network device according to the indication information related to transmission of feedback information and the feedback information of sidelink transmission from the first user equipment to the at least two second user equipments.
2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising
a processor configured to determine overall feedback information of sidelink transmissions from the first user equipment to the at least two second user equipments according to the feedback information of sidelink transmissions from the first user equipment to the at least two second user equipments, and transmits the overall feedback information to the network device.
3. The apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the
processor is configured to perform a logic “and” computing process on the feedback information of sidelink transmissions from the first user equipment to the at least two second user equipments to obtain the overall feedback information.
4. The apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein,
when the feedback information of sidelink transmissions from the first user equipment to the at least two second user equipments are all “1”, the processor is configured to determine the overall feedback information as “1”; and
when the feedback information of sidelink transmissions from the first user equipment to the at least two second user equipments comprises at least one “0”, the processor is configured to determine the overall feedback information as “0”,
wherein, the “1” represents “ACK” and the “0” represents “NACK”.
5. A transmission apparatus of feedback information, provided at a network device side, the apparatus comprising:
a transmitter configured to transmit indication information related to transmission of feedback information to a first user equipment; and
a receiver configured to receive, from the first user equipment feedback information of sidelink transmission from the first user equipment to at least two second user equipments belonging to the same group, wherein the first user equipment transmits feedback information of sidelink transmission to the network device according to the indication information related to transmission of feedback information and the feedback information of sidelink transmission from the first user equipment to the at least two second user equipments.
6. The apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the
receiver is further configured to receive overall feedback information of sidelink transmission from the first user equipment to the at least two second user equipments.
7. The apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein,
the feedback information of sidelink transmission received from the first user equipment is overall feedback information determined according to the feedback information of sidelink transmissions from the first user equipment to the at least two second user equipments.
8. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein
a processor is configured to reschedule a resource so that the first user equipment retransmits to a second user equipment when the overall feedback information represents “NACK”.
