Abstract

A first wireless device may receive, from a second wireless device, sidelink control information indicating radio resources for a first transport block. The first wireless device may determine, based on a redundancy version (RV) of the first transport block, a first sensing threshold for excluding the radio resources from a plurality of candidate resources to determine remaining resources. The first wireless device may transmit a second transport block via one or more radio resources of the remaining resources.

Claims (57)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a first wireless device from a second wireless device, sidelink control information indicating radio resources for a first transport block;

determining, based on a redundancy version (RV) of the first transport block, a first sensing threshold for excluding the radio resources from a plurality of candidate resources to determine remaining resources; and

transmitting, by the first wireless device, a second transport block via one or more radio resources of the remaining resources.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first RV is at least one of:

an RV 0 of the first transport block; or

an RV 3 of the first transport block.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining, based on the RV of the first transport block, a second sensing threshold for excluding the radio resources from the plurality of candidate resources to determine the remaining resources.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the first sensing threshold is less than or equal to the second sensing threshold.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein:

the RV comprises a first RV and a second RV,

the first sensing threshold is used for the first RV of the first transport block, and

the second sensing threshold is used for the second RV of the first transport block.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the second RV is at least one of:

an RV 1 of the first transport block;

an RV 2 of the first transport block; or

an RV 3 of the first transport block.

7. The method of claim 3 , wherein the first sensing threshold and the second sensing threshold are indicated by a base station.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the first sensing threshold and the second sensing threshold are indicated via at least one of:

one or more system information blocks; or

one or more radio resource control messages.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RV is indicated via the sidelink control information.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of candidate resources is determined based on a packet delay budget of the first wireless device.

11. A wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

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

receive, from a second wireless device, sidelink control information indicating radio resources for a first transport block;

determine, based on a redundancy version (RV) of the first transport block, a first sensing threshold for excluding the radio resources from a plurality of candidate resources to determine remaining resources; and

transmit a second transport block via one or more radio resources of the remaining resources.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the first RV is at least one of:

an RV 0 of the first transport block; or

an RV 3 of the first transport block.

13. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein, when executed by the one or more processors, the instructions further causes the wireless device to determine, based on the RV of the first transport block, a second sensing threshold for excluding the radio resources from the plurality of candidate resources to determine the remaining resources.

14. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the first sensing threshold is less than or equal to the second sensing threshold.

15. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein:

the RV comprises a first RV and a second RV,

the first sensing threshold is used for the first RV of the first transport block, and

the second sensing threshold is used for the second RV of the first transport block.

16. The wireless device of claim 15 , wherein the second RV is at least one of:

an RV 1 of the first transport block;

an RV 2 of the first transport block; or

an RV 3 of the first transport block.

17. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the first sensing threshold and the second sensing threshold are indicated by a base station.

18. The wireless device of claim 17 , wherein the first sensing threshold and the second sensing threshold are indicated via at least one of:

one or more system information blocks; or

one or more radio resource control messages.

19. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the RV is indicated via the sidelink control information.

20. A system comprising:

a first wireless device comprising:

one or more first processors; and

first memory storing first instructions that, when executed by the one or more first processors, cause the first wireless device to transmit sidelink control information indicating radio resources for a first transport block; and

a second 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 second wireless device to:

receive the sidelink control information;

determine, based on a redundancy version (RV) of the first transport block, a first sensing threshold for excluding the radio resources from a plurality of candidate resources to determine remaining resources; and

transmit a second transport block via one or more radio resources of the remaining resources.
