Abstract

The present invention provides a method performed by user equipment and user equipment. The method comprises: receiving control information from a base station, the control information comprising a resource configuration related to a transmission on a Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH); transmitting data to other UE through the PSSCH according to the control information; and transmitting to the base station first feedback information related to the transmission on the PSSCH and/or second feedback information related to a transmission on a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) between the base station and the UE. In this way, reliable data transmission can be achieved, thereby improving the reliability and stability of an entire communication system.

Claims (12)

1. A user equipment, comprising:

one or more processors; and

a memory in electronic communication with the one or more processors, wherein instructions stored in the memory are executable to:

receive first Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) information from a Physical Sidelink Feedback Channel (PSFCH) in a first slot;

transmit, to a base station, second HARQ information in a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) in a k-th slot after the first slot based on the first HARQ information received from the PSFCH; and

transmit third HARQ information as negative acknowledge (NACK) in the PUCCH in the k-th slot after a second slot on a basis that nothing is received from a PSFCH in the second slot,

wherein the k is indicated by the base station.

2. A method performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

receiving first Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) information from a Physical Sidelink Feedback Channel (PSFCH) in a first slot;

transmitting to a base station, second HARQ information in a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) in a k-th slot after the first slot based on the first HARQ information received from the PSFCH; and

transmitting third HARQ information as negative acknowledge (NACK) in the PUCCH in the k-th slot after a second slot on a basis that nothing is received from a PSFCH in the second slot,

wherein the k is indicated by the base station.
