Abstract

A first wireless device receives, from a base station, configuration parameters of feedback resources. The first wireless device receives, from a second wireless device, a transport block via a sidelink. The first wireless device transmits, to the second wireless device, an acknowledgment for the transport block via a feedback resource, of the feedback resources. The feedback resources is determined based on an identity of the first wireless device and a modulo operation performed on a quantity of the feedback resources.

Claims (52)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a destination wireless device from a base station, configuration parameters of physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) radio resources;

receiving, by the destination wireless device from a source wireless device, sidelink control information comprising an identity (ID) of the source wireless device;

determining an index of a PSFCH radio resource, among the PSFCH radio resources, based on:

the ID of the source wireless device;

an ID of the destination wireless device; and

a modulo operation performed on a quantity of the PSFCH radio resources; and

transmitting, by the destination wireless device to the source wireless device, an acknowledgement for a transport block via the PSFCH radio resource having the index.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration parameters of the PSFCH radio resources are received in one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration parameters of the PSFCH radio resources indicate the quantity of the PSFCH radio resources.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration parameters indicate one or more resource pools of the PSFCH radio resources.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the index of the PSFCH radio resource is determined further based on the one or more resource pools of the PSFCH radio resources.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identity of the destination wireless device comprises one of:

a cell radio network temporary identifier;

an international mobile subscriber identity;

a zone identification of the destination wireless device; and

a temporary mobile subscriber identity.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the index indicates the PSFCH radio resource, of the PSFCH radio resources, for transmitting the acknowledgement.

8. A destination wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

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

receive, from a base station, configuration parameters of physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) radio resources;

receive, from a source wireless device, sidelink control information comprising an identity (ID) of the source wireless device;

determine an index of a PSFCH radio resource, among the PSFCH radio resources, based on:

the ID of the source wireless device;

an ID of the destination wireless device; and

a modulo operation performed on a quantity of the PSFCH radio resources; and

transmit, to the source wireless device, an acknowledgement for a transport block via the PSFCH radio resource having the index.

9. The destination wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the configuration parameters of the PSFCH radio resources are received in one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages.

10. The destination wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the configuration parameters of the PSFCH radio resources indicate the quantity of the feedback resources.

11. The destination wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the configuration parameters indicate one or more resource pools of the PSFCH radio resources.

12. The destination wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the index of the PSFCH radio resource is determined further based on the one or more resource pools of the PSFCH radio resources.

13. The destination wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the identity of the destination wireless device comprises one of:

a cell radio network temporary identifier;

an international mobile subscriber identity;

a zone identification of the destination wireless device; and

a temporary mobile subscriber identity.

14. The destination wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the index indicates the PSFCH radio resource, of the PSFCH radio resources, for transmitting the acknowledgement.

15. A system, comprising:

a base station comprising: one or more processors and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the base station to transmit configuration parameters of physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) radio resources;

a destination 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 destination wireless device to:

receive, from the base station, the configuration parameters of the PSFCH radio resources;

receive, from a source wireless device, sidelink control information comprising an identity (ID) of the source wireless device;

determine an index of a PSFCH radio resource, among the PSFCH radio resources, based on:

the ID of the source wireless device;

an ID of the destination wireless device; and

a modulo operation performed on a quantity of the PSFCH radio resources; and

transmit, to the source wireless device, an acknowledgement for a transport block via the PSFCH radio resource having the index; and

the source wireless device, wherein the source wireless device comprises: one or more second processors and second memory storing second instructions that, when executed by the one or more second processors, cause the source wireless device to:

receive, from the base station, the configuration parameters of the PSFCH radio resources;

transmit the sidelink control information comprising the ID of the source wireless device; and

receive the acknowledgement via the PSFCH radio resource.
