Abstract

Hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) timing may be determined. Physical SL feedback channel (PSFCH) resource pool selection may be performed. A source WTRU may (e.g., determine to) signal a PSFCH resource based on channel state information (CSI), transmitter (TX)-receiver (RX) distance, and/or CBR. A destination WTRU may determine sub-channels to include PSFCH resources based on a PSCCH/PSSCH resource and/or WTRU PHY ID information. One or more resource blocks may be determined within a sub-channel for PSFCH transmission based on the WTRU PHY ID and/or a Link ID. A first set of symbols in a slot may be sensed to detect a PSSCH and/or a PSSCH+PSFCH transmission to (e.g., determine to) transmit a PSFCH in the end of the slot without colliding with the PSSCH. A WTRU may switch to a dedicated PSFCH resource pool or Mode 1 transmission upon failure to acquire PSFCH resources in a shared PSFCH resource pool.

Claims (24)

1 . A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising:

a processor configured to:

receive an allocation of physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) resources;

receive a sidelink control information (SCI) associated with a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) transmission;

determine a set of PSFCH resources within the allocation of PSFCH resources;

select a PSFCH resource within the set of PSFCH resources, wherein the PSFCH resource is one resource block, wherein the selection of the PSFCH resource is based at least on an L1 Source identifier (ID) indicated in the SCI and a cast type indicated in the SCI, and wherein, when the cast type is groupcast, the selection of the PSFCH resource is further based on a WTRU ID; and

send a transmission via the selected PSFCH resource.

2 . The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the selection is further based on slot information.

3 . The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to send HARQ acknowledgment/negative acknowledgment (ACK/NACK) information associated with the PSSCH transmission on the selected PSFCH resource.

4 . The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the set of PSFCH resources within the allocation of PSFCH resources is determined based on a lowest PSSCH sub-channel index and PSSCH slot number.

5 . The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein, for the received PSFCH resources, there is a mapping between each sub-channel in a PSSCH resource pool and one PSFCH resource in the allocation of PSFCH resources.

6 . The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the received PSFCH resources comprise unicast and groupcast resources, and wherein the determination of the set of PSFCH resources within the allocation of PSFCH resources is based on the cast type.

7 . The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the selection is further based on a group member ID.

8 . A method comprising:

receiving an allocation of physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) resources;

receiving a sidelink control information (SCI) associated with a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) transmission;

determining a set of PSFCH resources within the allocation of PSFCH resources;

selecting a PSFCH resource within the set of PSFCH resources, wherein the PSFCH resource is one resource block, wherein the selection of the PSFCH resource is based at least on an L1 Source identifier (ID) indicated in the SCI and a cast type indicated in the SCI, and wherein, when the cast type is groupcast, the selection of the PSFCH resource is further based on a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) ID; and

sending a transmission via the selected PSFCH resource.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the selection is further based on slot information.

10 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising sending HARQ acknowledgment/negative acknowledgment (ACK/NACK) information associated with the PSSCH transmission on the selected PSFCH resource.

11 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the set of PSFCH resources within the allocation of PSFCH resources is determined based on a lowest PSSCH sub-channel index and PSSCH slot number.

12 . The method of claim 8 , wherein, for the received PSFCH resources, there is a mapping between each sub-channel in a PSSCH resource pool and one PSFCH resource in the allocation of PSFCH resources.

13 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the received PSFCH resources comprise unicast and groupcast resources, and wherein the determination of the set of PSFCH resources within the allocation of PSFCH resources is based on the cast type.
