Abstract

Provided is a method for a first device to perform wireless communication. The method may include the steps of: receiving a configured grant from a base station; transmitting a first transport block through a first sidelink resource related to a first hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process ID and allocated by the configured grant; failing to transmit the first transport block; and transmitting a second transport block through a second sidelink resource related to a second HARQ process ID and allocated by the configured grant, on the basis of the second HARQ process ID related to the second sidelink resource being the same as the first HARQ process ID.

1. A method comprising:

receiving configured sidelink grant configuration information related to a configured sidelink grant from a base station;

obtaining a first hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process identifier (ID) related to a first period of the configured sidelink grant, based on a modulo function with a value obtained based on dividing time information of a first resource within the first period by a periodicity of the configured sidelink grant as dividend and a maximum number of HARQ processes as divisor;

obtaining a first medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU), to transmit within the first period;

storing the first MAC PDU in a buffer of a sidelink process related to the first HARQ process ID;

transmitting the first MAC PDU based on at least one resource within the first period;

obtaining a second HARQ process ID related to a second period of the configured sidelink grant, which is same as the first HARQ process ID, based on a modulo function with a value obtained based on dividing time information of a second resource within the second period by the periodicity as dividend and the maximum number of HARQ processes as divisor;

flushing the buffer of the sidelink process based on the first HARQ process ID being the same as the second HARQ process ID;

obtaining a second MAC PDU, to transmit within the second period;

storing the second MAC PDU in the buffer of the sidelink process;

transmitting the second MAC PDU based on at least one resource within the second period;

reporting a negative acknowledgement related to transmission of the second MAC PDU to the base station through a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH);

receiving a first sidelink dynamic grant from the base station through downlink control information (DCI),

wherein the first sidelink dynamic grant schedules a third resource for retransmission of the second MAC PDU, and

wherein the DCI includes an index to identify the configured sidelink grant configuration information and the second HARQ process ID; and

determining to use the third resource for the retransmission of the second MAC PDU based on the index and the second HARQ process ID.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a priority of a service related to the first MAC PDU is lower than a priority of a service related to the second MAC PDU or a latency requirement of a service related to the first MAC PDU is higher than a latency requirement of a service related to the second MAC PDU.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein a HARQ process ID related to the transmitted SCI is determined as the second HARQ process ID related to the second period.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second HARQ process ID related to the second MAC PDU is reported to the base station with HARQ feedback information.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein a third HARQ process ID related to the third resource is determined as the second HARQ process ID related to the second MAC PDU.

determine to use the third resource for the retransmission of the second MAC PDU based on the index and the second HARQ process ID.

10. A processing device adapted to control a first device, the processing device comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more memories connected to the one or more processors and storing instructions,

wherein the instructions, based on being executed by the one or more processors, cause the first device to:
