Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may utilize priority levels associated with packets or transmissions to determine whether to transmit feedback for a received transmission. The UE may compare priority levels between a transmission subject to a feedback condition and a transmission scheduled to be received when the feedback is scheduled to be transmitted to determine whether to send the feedback. The UE may communicate with the transmitting device according to the comparison and the determining. The UE may determine signal conditions causing a NAK and determine to send the NAK based on the signal conditions.

Claims (35)

1. A method for wireless communication at a transmitting device, comprising:

transmitting, to at least one user equipment (UE) via control signaling, a feedback condition transmission indicator that indicates a feedback transmission probability, a congestion level threshold, a first distance threshold, or any combination thereof;

communicating a transmission to at least the UE; and

receiving, from the UE, feedback associated with the communicated transmission, in accordance with the feedback condition transmission indicator.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the feedback condition transmission indicator indicates the feedback transmission probability for the UE to determine whether to send the feedback.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the feedback transmission probability is dependent on a distance between the transmitting device and the UE.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the feedback transmission probability is dependent on a congestion level.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the feedback condition transmission indicator indicates the congestion level threshold for the UE to determine whether to send the feedback.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the feedback condition transmission indicator indicates the first distance threshold for the UE to determine whether to send the feedback.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the at least one UE via second control signaling, a second feedback condition transmission indicator based at least in part on a congestion level satisfying a threshold, wherein the second feedback condition transmission indicator indicates a second distance threshold for the UE to determine whether to send the feedback.

8. An apparatus for wireless communication at a transmitting device, comprising:

one or more processors;

one or more memories coupled with the one or more processors; and

instructions stored in the one or more memories and executable by the one or more processors to cause the apparatus to:

transmit, to at least one user equipment (UE) via control signaling, a feedback condition transmission indicator that indicates a feedback transmission probability, a congestion level threshold, a first distance threshold, or any combination thereof;

communicate a transmission to at least the UE; and

receive, from the UE, feedback associated with the communicated transmission, in accordance with the feedback condition transmission indicator.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the feedback condition transmission indicator indicates the feedback transmission probability for the UE to determine whether to send the feedback.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the feedback transmission probability is dependent on a distance between the transmitting device and the UE.

11. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the feedback transmission probability is dependent on a congestion level.

12. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the feedback condition transmission indicator indicates the congestion level threshold for the UE to determine whether to send the feedback.

13. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the feedback condition transmission indicator indicates the first distance threshold for the UE to determine whether to send the feedback.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the one or more processors to cause the apparatus to:

transmit, to the at least one UE via second control signaling, a second feedback condition transmission indicator based at least in part on a congestion level satisfying a threshold, wherein the second feedback condition transmission indicator indicates a second distance threshold for the UE to determine whether to send the feedback.

15. An apparatus for wireless communication at a transmitting device, comprising:

means for transmitting, to at least one user equipment (UE) via control signaling, a feedback condition transmission indicator that indicates a feedback transmission probability, a congestion level threshold, a first distance threshold, or any combination thereof;

means for communicating a transmission to at least the UE; and

means for receiving, from the UE, feedback associated with the communicated transmission, in accordance with the feedback condition transmission indicator.

16. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the feedback condition transmission indicator indicates the feedback transmission probability for the UE to determine whether to send the feedback.

17. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the feedback transmission probability is dependent on a distance between the transmitting device and the UE, a congestion level, or both.

18. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the feedback condition transmission indicator indicates the congestion level threshold for the UE to determine whether to send the feedback.

19. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the feedback condition transmission indicator indicates the first distance threshold for the UE to determine whether to send the feedback.

20. The apparatus of claim 19 , further comprising:

means for transmitting, to the at least one UE via second control signaling, a second feedback condition transmission indicator based at least in part on a congestion level satisfying a threshold, wherein the second feedback condition transmission indicator indicates a second distance threshold for the UE to determine whether to send the feedback.
