Abstract

A method and an apparatus for transmitting and receiving HARQ response in sidelink communication are provided. The operation method of a first terminal includes receiving DCI for scheduling sidelink transmission from a base station and transmitting first sidelink data to a second terminal based on the DCI. A first SL HARQ response is received for the first sidelink data from the second terminal via a PSFCH. The first SL HARQ response is transmitted to the base station via a PUCCH at a feedback timing indicated by first information included in the DCI.

Claims (37)

1. An operation method of a first terminal in a communication system, comprising:

receiving downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling sidelink transmission from a base station, the DCI including a counter sidelink assignment index (cSAI);

transmitting sidelink control information (SCI) including a redundancy version (RV) to a second terminal;

transmitting first sidelink data to athe second terminal based on the DCI and the SCI;

receiving a first sidelink (SL) hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) response for the first sidelink data from the second terminal through a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH); and

transmitting a HARQ-ACK codebook including the first SL HARQ response to the base station through a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) at a feedback timing indicated by first information included in the DCI;

wherein the cSAI is used for identifying the first sidelink data associated with the first SL HARQ response in the HARQ-ACK codebook;

wherein, in response that the first sidelink data is retransmission data due to the first sidelink data not being received in the second terminal, the RV included in the SCI is different from an RV associated with the first sidelink data not being received in the second terminal; and

wherein, in response that the first sidelink data is retransmission data due to the first sidelink data not being transmitted by the first terminal, the RV included in the SCI is identical to an RV associated with the first sidelink data not being transmitted to the first terminal.

2. The operation method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a higher layer message including information indicating one or more feedback timings from the base station,

wherein the first information included in the DCI indicates one among the one or more feedback timings.

3. The operation method according to claim 1 , wherein the feedback timing indicates a time gap between the PSFCH and the PUCCH.

4. The operation method according to claim 1 , wherein the HARQ-ACK codebook further includes a downlink (DL) HARQ response for downlink data received from the base station.

5. The operation method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting second sidelink data to the second terminal; and

receiving a second SL HARQ response for the second sidelink data from the second terminal,

wherein the HARQ-ACK codebook further includes the second SL HARQ response.

6. A first terminal in a communication system, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory configured to store at least one instruction executed by the processor,

wherein the at least one instruction is executed to:

receive downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling sidelink transmission from a base station, the DCI including a counter sidelink assignment index (cSAI);

transmit sidelink control information (SCI) including a redundancy version (RV) to a second terminal;

transmit first sidelink data to the second terminal based on the DCI and the SCI;

receive a first sidelink (SL) hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) response for the first sidelink data from the second terminal through a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH); and

transmit a HARQ-ACK codebook including the first SL HARQ response to the base station through a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) at a feedback timing indicated by first information included in the DCI,

wherein the cSAI is used for identifying the first sidelink data associated with the first SL HARQ response in the HARQ-ACK codebook;

wherein, in response that the first sidelink data is retransmission data due to the first sidelink data not being received in the second terminal, the RV included in the SCI is different from an RV associated with the first sidelink data not being received in the second terminal, and

wherein, in response that the first sidelink data is retransmission data due to the first sidelink data not being transmitted by the first terminal, the RV included in the SCI is identical to an RV associated with the first sidelink data not being transmitted to the first terminal.

7. The first terminal according to claim 6 , wherein the at least one instruction is further executed to receive a higher layer message including information indicating one or more feedback timings from the base station, wherein the first information included in the DCI indicates one among the one or more feedback timings.

8. The first terminal according to claim 6 , wherein the feedback timing indicates a time gap between the PSFCH and the PUCCH.

9. The first terminal according to claim 6 , wherein the HARQ-ACK codebook further includes a downlink (DL) HARQ response for downlink data received from the base station.

10. The first terminal according to claim 6 , wherein the at least one instruction is further executed to:

transmit second sidelink data to the second terminal; and

receive a second SL HARQ response for the second sidelink data from the second terminal,

wherein the HARQ-ACK codebook further includes the second SL HARQ response.
