Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method and device for sidelink wireless communications. A first node transmits a first signaling and a first radio signal; monitors a second signaling; maintains a first counter according to whether the second signaling is received; and as a response to a value of the first counter reaching a first threshold, determines an RLF for a second node; the behavior of maintaining a first counter according to whether the second signaling is received comprises: when the second signaling is received, updating the value of the first counter to an initial value; when the second signaling is not received and a time for transmitting the first signaling belongs to an active estimation time, updates the value of the first counter by 1. The application reduces the risk of triggering unnecessary Radio Link Failure (RLF).

Claims (40)

1 . A first node for wireless communications, comprising:

a first transmitter, transmitting a first signaling and a first radio signal; and

a first receiver, monitoring a second signaling; maintaining a first counter according to whether the second signaling is received; and as a response to a value of the first counter reaching a first threshold, determining an RLF for a second node;

wherein the first signaling comprises configuration information of the first radio signal; the second signaling is used to indicate whether the first radio signal is correctly decoded; the behavior of maintaining a first counter according to whether the second signaling is received comprises: when the second signaling is received, updating the value of the first counter to an initial value; when the second signaling is not received and a time for transmitting the first signaling belongs to an active estimation time, updating the value of the first counter by 1; when the second signaling is not received and the time for transmitting the first signaling does not belong to the active estimation time, keeping the value of the first counter unchanged; the active estimated time comprises a time when a first timer is in a running state.

2 . The first node according to claim 1 , wherein the active estimation time comprises a time when a second timer is in a running state.

3 . The first node according to claim 1 , comprising:

the first transmitter, transmitting a third signaling and a second radio signal; and

the first receiver, receiving a fourth signaling;

wherein the fourth signaling is used to indicate whether the second radio signal is correctly decoded, the fourth signaling comprises a last received HARQ-ACK from the second node, and the active estimation time comprises time-domain resources lasting a first time length from an end time for transmitting the third signaling.

4 . The first node according to claim 1 , comprising:

the first transmitter, when the second signaling is not received and the time for transmitting the first signaling does not belong to the active estimation time, dropping a continuation of transmitting a radio signal to the second node after transmitting the first radio signal;

wherein the second node has at least two communication correspondences, and the first node is one of the at least two communication correspondences; the at least two communication correspondences are not quasi co-located.

5 . The first node according to claim 1 , wherein the second node is configured with a discontinuous reception (DRX).

6 . The first node according to claim 1 , comprising:

the first transmitter, transmitting first information;

wherein the first information comprises an expiration value of the first timer.

7 . The first node according to claim 1 , wherein the first timer is maintained by the second node, and an active time of the second node comprises the time when the first timer is in a running state.

8 . The first node according to claim 1 , wherein the first node maintains a timer fully synchronized with the first timer.

9 . The first node according to claim 2 , wherein the second timer is maintained by the second node, and an active time of the second node comprises the time when the second timer is in a running state.

10 . The first node according to claim 2 , wherein the first node maintains a timer fully synchronized with the second timer.

11 . The first node according to claim 1 , wherein when the second signaling is not received and the time for transmitting the first signaling belongs to the active estimation time, an occurrence of a HARQ-DTX is determined.

12 . A method in a first node for wireless communications, comprising:

transmitting a first signaling and a first radio signal;

monitoring a second signaling;

maintaining a first counter according to whether the second signaling is received; and

as a response to a value of the first counter reaching a first threshold, determining an RLF for a second node;

wherein the first signaling comprises configuration information of the first radio signal; the second signaling is used to indicate whether the first radio signal is correctly decoded; the behavior of maintaining a first counter according to whether the second signaling is received comprises: when the second signaling is received, updating the value of the first counter to an initial value; when the second signaling is not received and a time for transmitting the first signaling belongs to an active estimation time, updating the value of the first counter by 1; when the second signaling is not received and the time for transmitting the first signaling does not belong to the active estimation time, keeping the value of the first counter unchanged; the active estimated time comprises a time when a first timer is in a running state.

13 . The method in a first node according to claim 12 , wherein the active estimation time comprises a time when a second timer is in a running state.

14 . The first node according to claim 12 , comprising:

transmitting a third signaling and a second radio signal; and

receiving a fourth signaling;

wherein the fourth signaling is used to indicate whether the second radio signal is correctly decoded, the fourth signaling comprises a last received HARQ-ACK from the second node, and the active estimation time comprises time-domain resources lasting a first time length from an end time for transmitting the third signaling.

15 . The method in a first node according to claim 12 , comprising:

when the second signaling is not received and the time for transmitting the first signaling does not belong to the active estimation time, dropping a continuation of transmitting a radio signal to the second node after transmitting the first radio signal;

wherein the second node has at least two communication correspondences, and the first node is one of the at least two communication correspondences; the at least two communication correspondences are not quasi co-located.

16 . The method in a first node according to claim 12 , wherein the second node is configured with a DRX.

17 . The method in a first node according to claim 12 , wherein the first timer is maintained by the second node, and an active time of the second node comprises the time when the first timer is in a running state.

18 . The method in a first node according to claim 12 , wherein the first node maintains a timer fully synchronized with the first timer.

19 . The method in a first node according to claim 13 , wherein the second timer is maintained by the second node, and an active time of the second node comprises the time when the second timer is in a running state.

20 . The method in a first node according to claim 13 , wherein the first node maintains a timer fully synchronized with the second timer.
