Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless communication device may receive a sidelink communication on a sidelink. The sidelink communication may include at least one of a grant, data received on a resource identified by the grant, a multi-stage grant, a multi-packet grant, or a relaying communication. The wireless communication device may transmit, on the sidelink after a time period since receiving the sidelink communication, a feedback message acknowledging receiving the sidelink communication. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Claims (43)

1. A wireless communication device for wireless communication, comprising:

a memory; and

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

receive a sidelink communication on a sidelink, wherein the sidelink communication includes at least one of a grant, data received on a resource identified by the grant, a multi-stage grant, a multi-packet grant, or a relaying communication; and

transmit, on the sidelink and after a time period since receiving the sidelink communication, a feedback message, wherein the feedback message acknowledges the receiving the sidelink communication, and wherein the time period is the time period for transmitting the feedback message and is based at least in part on one or more of a type of the sidelink communication or a type of the feedback message.

2. The wireless communication device of claim 1 , wherein the sidelink communication corresponds to the multi-stage grant, and wherein the one or more processors are further configured to determine the time period based at least in part on a quantity of stages in the multi-stage grant.

3. The wireless communication device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to determine the time period based at least in part on whether the feedback message is carried on one of a physical sidelink feedback channel, a physical sidelink control channel, a physical sidelink shared channel, or a physical uplink control channel.

4. The wireless communication device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to determine the time period based at least in part on one or more of a payload or bundling configuration of the feedback message.

5. The wireless communication device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to determine the time period based at least in part on an end of a sidelink resource block mapped for feedback messages.

6. The wireless communication device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to determine the time period based at least in part on a time or frequency resource allocation of one or more stages or packets.

7. The wireless communication device of claim 1 , wherein the sidelink communication is one stage of a multi-stage grant, and wherein the memory and the one or more processors are configured to determine the time period based at least in part on a timing of another stage of the multi-stage grant.

8. The wireless communication device of claim 1 , wherein the sidelink communication is one packet of a multi-packet sidelink transmission, and wherein the memory and the one or more processors are configured to determine the time period based at least in part on a timing of another packet of the multi-packet sidelink transmission.

9. The wireless communication device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to determine the time period based at least in part on a timing of a feedback message relayed from another wireless communication device.

10. The wireless communication device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to determine the time period based at least in part on at least one of:

a quantity of hops in a multi-hop communication,

a quantity of alternative routes for the multi-hop communication,

a quantity of sources for a plurality of received packets,

one or more locations of hops for the multi-hop communication, or

some combination thereof.

11. A method of wireless communication performed by a wireless communication device, comprising:

receiving a sidelink communication on a sidelink, wherein the sidelink communication includes at least one of a grant, data received on a resource identified by the grant, a multi-stage grant, a multi-packet grant, or a relaying communication; and

transmitting, on the sidelink and after a time period since receiving the sidelink communication, a feedback message, wherein the feedback message acknowledges the receiving the sidelink communication, and wherein the time period is the time period for transmitting the feedback message and is based at least in part on one or more of a type of the sidelink communication or a type of the feedback message.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the sidelink communication corresponds to the multi-stage grant, and wherein for the method further comprises determining the time period based at least in part on a quantity of stages in the multi-stage grant.

13. The method of claim 11 , further comprising determining the time period based at least in part on whether the feedback message is carried on one of a physical sidelink feedback channel, a physical sidelink control channel, a physical sidelink shared channel, or a physical uplink control channel.

14. The method of claim 11 , further comprising determining the time period based at least in part on one or more of a payload or bundling configuration of the feedback message.

15. The method of claim 11 , further comprising determining the time period based at least in part on an end of a sidelink resource block mapped for feedback messages.

16. The method of claim 11 , further comprising determining the time period based at least in part on a time or frequency resource allocation of one or more stages or packets.

17. The method of claim 11 , wherein the sidelink communication is one stage of a multi-stage grant, and wherein the method further comprises determining the time period based at least in part on a timing of another stage of the multi-stage grant.

18. The method of claim 11 , wherein the sidelink communication is one packet of a multi-packet sidelink transmission, and wherein the method further comprises determining the time period based at least in part on a timing of another packet of the multi-packet sidelink transmission.

19. The method of claim 11 , further comprising determining the time period based at least in part on a timing of a feedback message relayed from another wireless communication device.

20. The method of claim 11 , further comprising determining the time period based at least in part on at least one of:

a quantity of hops in a multi-hop communication,

a quantity of alternative routes for the multi-hop communication,

a quantity of sources for a plurality of received packets,

one or more locations of hops for the multi-hop communication, or

some combination thereof.

21. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions for wireless communication, the one or more instructions comprising:

one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a wireless communication device, cause the one or more processors to:

receive a sidelink communication on a sidelink, wherein the sidelink communication includes at least one of a grant, data received on a resource identified by the grant, a multi-stage grant, a multi-packet grant, or a relaying communication; and

transmit, on the sidelink and after a time period since receiving the sidelink communication, a feedback message, wherein the feedback messages acknowledges the receiving the sidelink communication, and wherein the time period is the time period for transmitting the feedback message and is based at least in part on one or more of a type of the sidelink communication or a type of the feedback message.

22. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

means for receiving a sidelink communication on a sidelink, wherein the sidelink communication includes at least one of a grant, data received on a resource identified by the grant, a multi-stage grant, a multi-packet grant, or a relaying communication; and

means for transmitting, on the sidelink and after a time period since receiving the sidelink communication, a feedback message, wherein the feedback message acknowledges the receiving the sidelink communication, and wherein the time period is the time period for transmitting the feedback message and is based at least in part on one or more of a type of the sidelink communication or a type of the feedback message.
