Abstract

Claims (36)

1. A method for wireless communications, comprising:

determining, by a user equipment (UE) device, at least one parameter associated with a sidelink communication, wherein the at least one parameter includes a priority level associated with the sidelink communication;

determining that the priority level associated with the sidelink communication is above a first threshold value or below a second threshold value;

determining, based on the at least one parameter, a status of a network coding indicator corresponding to the sidelink communication; and

transmitting, by the UE device, the sidelink communication and the network coding indicator including the determined status to at least one network entity configured to perform network coding, wherein the status of the network coding indicator signals the at least one network entity to perform network coding of the sidelink communication.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one parameter includes at least one packet delay budget (PDB) parameter associated with the sidelink communication.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

transmitting the at least one PDB parameter associated with the sidelink communication to the at least one network entity.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one parameter includes a number of times that a data packet associated with the sidelink communication has been transmitted.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining, by the UE device, a number of receiving UE devices associated with the sidelink communication; and

transmitting the number of receiving UE devices associated with the sidelink communication to the at least one network entity.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting location data associated with the UE device to the at least one network entity.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting a communication range associated with the UE device to the at least one network entity.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the network coding indicator corresponds to at least one of sidelink control information (SCI), a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE), and a PC5 radio resource control (RRC) signal.

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

at least one memory; and

at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory and configured to:

determine at least one parameter associated with a sidelink communication, wherein the at least one parameter includes a priority level associated with the sidelink communication;

determine that the priority level associated with the sidelink communication is above a first threshold value or below a second threshold value;

determine, based on the at least one parameter, a status of a network coding indicator corresponding to the sidelink communication; and

transmit the sidelink communication and the network coding indicator including the determined status to at least one network entity configured to perform network coding, wherein the status of the network coding indicator signals the at least one network entity to perform network coding of the sidelink communication.

10. The wireless communication device of claim 9 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

determine a number of receiving UE devices associated with the sidelink communication; and

transmit the number of receiving UE devices associated with the sidelink communication to the at least one network entity.

11. The wireless communication device of claim 9 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

transmit location data associated with the wireless communication device.

12. The wireless communication device of claim 9 , wherein the at least one parameter includes at least one packet delay budget (PDB) parameter associated with the sidelink communication.

13. The wireless communication device of claim 12 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

transmit the PDB parameter associated with the sidelink communication to the at least one network entity.

14. The wireless communication device of claim 9 , wherein the at least one parameter includes a number of times that a data packet associated with the sidelink communication has been transmitted.

15. The wireless communication device of claim 9 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

transmit a communication range associated with the wireless communication device to the at least one network entity.

16. The wireless communication device of claim 9 , wherein the network coding indicator corresponds to at least one of sidelink control information (SCI), a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE), and a PC5 radio resource control (RRC) signal.
