Abstract

A wireless device may receive, from a base station, first configuration parameters and second configuration parameters. The first configuration parameters may indicate first physical layer uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources for reporting uplink feedback to the base station, and the second configuration parameters may indicate second PUCCH resources for reporting sidelink feedback to the base station. The wireless device may transmit, via a first PUCCH resource of the first PUCCH resources, an uplink feedback report of a downlink transport block. The wireless device may transmit, via a second PUCCH resource of the second PUCCH resources, a sidelink feedback report of a sidelink transport block.

Claims (46)

1. A method comprising:

receiving by a first wireless device from a base station, one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising one or more configuration parameters of a bandwidth part (BWP), wherein the one or more configuration parameters comprise:

a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) configuration for reporting uplink feedback to the base station, the first PUCCH configuration indicating a first PUCCH and one or more first PUCCH formats; and

a second PUCCH configuration for reporting sidelink feedback to the base station, the second PUCCH configuration indicating a second PUCCH and one or more second PUCCH formats;

transmitting, to the base station via a first PUCCH format of the one or more first PUCCH formats and a first PUCCH resource of the first PUCCH configuration, an uplink feedback report of a downlink transport block; and

transmitting, to the base station via a second PUCCH format of the one or more second PUCCH formats and a second PUCCH resource of the second PUCCH configuration, a sidelink feedback report of a sidelink transport block transmitted by the first wireless device to a second wireless device.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving the downlink transport block.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting the sidelink transport block to the second wireless device.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first PUCCH resource is determined based on the first PUCCH and a first PUCCH resource indicator.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the first PUCCH resource indicator is configured by the base station.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the first PUCCH resource indicator is configured via a downlink control information (DCI) or the one or more RRC messages.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second PUCCH resource is determined based on the second PUCCH and a second PUCCH resource indicator.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the second PUCCH resource indicator is configured by the base station.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the second PUCCH resource indicator is configured via a downlink control information (DCI) or the one or more RRC messages.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second PUCCH configuration comprises:

a starting symbol index of a PUCCH transmission on the second PUCCH; and

a number of symbols of the PUCCH transmission on the second PUCCH.

11. A first wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

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

receive, from a base station, one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising one or more configuration parameters of a bandwidth part (BWP), wherein the one or more configuration parameters comprise:

a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) configuration for reporting uplink feedback to the base station, the first PUCCH configuration indicating a first physical layer uplink control channel (PUCCH) and one or more first PUCCH formats; and

a second PUCCH configuration for reporting sidelink feedback to the base station, the second PUCCH configuration indicating a second PUCCH and one or more second PUCCH formats;

transmit, to the base station via a first PUCCH format of the one or more first PUCCH formats and a first PUCCH resource of the first PUCCH configuration, an uplink feedback report of a downlink transport block; and

transmit, to the base station via a second PUCCH format of the one or more second PUCCH formats and a second PUCCH resource of the second PUCCH configuration, a sidelink feedback report of a sidelink transport block transmitted by the first wireless device to a second wireless device.

12. The first wireless device of claim 11 , wherein instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the first wireless device to receive the downlink transport block.

13. The first wireless device of claim 11 , wherein instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the first wireless device to transmit the sidelink transport block to the second wireless device.

14. The first wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the first PUCCH resource is determined based on the first PUCCH and a first PUCCH resource indicator.

15. The first wireless device of claim 14 , wherein the first PUCCH resource indicator is configured by the base station.

16. The first wireless device of claim 14 , wherein the first PUCCH resource indicator is configured via a downlink control information (DCI) or the one or more RRC messages.

17. The first wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the second PUCCH resource is determined based on the second PUCCH and a second PUCCH resource indicator.

18. The first wireless device of claim 17 , wherein the second PUCCH resource indicator is configured by the base station via a downlink control information (DCI) or the one or more RRC messages.

19. The first wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the second PUCCH configuration comprises:

a starting symbol index of a PUCCH transmission on the second PUCCH; and

a number of symbols of the PUCCH transmission on the second PUCCH.

20. A system comprising:

a base station comprising: one or more first processors and first memory storing first instructions that, when executed by the one or more first processors, cause the base station to:

transmit one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising one or more configuration parameters of a bandwidth part (BWP), wherein the one or more configuration parameters comprise:

a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) configuration for reporting uplink feedback to the base station, the first PUCCH configuration indicating a first PUCCH and one or more first PUCCH formats; and

a second PUCCH configuration parameters for reporting sidelink feedback to the base station, the second PUCCH configuration indicating a second PUCCH and one or more second PUCCH formats; and

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

receive, from the base station, the one or more RRC messages comprising the one or more configuration parameters of the BWP, wherein the one or more configuration parameters comprise:

the first PUCCH configuration for reporting uplink feedback to the base station; and

the second PUCCH configuration for reporting sidelink feedback to the base station;

transmit, to the base station via a first PUCCH format of the one or more first PUCCH formats and a first PUCCH resource of the first PUCCH configuration, an uplink feedback report of a downlink transport block; and

transmit, to the base station via a second PUCCH format of the one or more second PUCCH formats and a second PUCCH resource of the second PUCCH configuration, a sidelink feedback report of a sidelink transport block transmitted by the first wireless device to a second wireless device.
