Abstract

A wireless device receives one or more configuration parameters including a plurality of sidelink feedback resources, where at least two sidelink feedback resources, of the plurality of sidelink feedback resources, are associated with different values for received signal power, and each of the at least two sidelink feedback resources are at least one of a time resource or a frequency resource. The wireless device selects, based on a received signal power of the different values for the received signal power, a sidelink feedback resource from the at least two sidelink feedback resources. The wireless device transmits a sidelink feedback signal, to a second wireless device, via the sidelink feedback resource.

Claims (50)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a first wireless device, one or more configuration parameters comprising a plurality of sidelink feedback resources, wherein:

at least two sidelink feedback resources, of the plurality of sidelink feedback resources, are associated with different received signal power values; and

each of the at least two sidelink feedback resources are at least one of a time resource or a frequency resource;

selecting, based on a value, of the different received signal power values, for a received signal power, a sidelink feedback resource from the at least two sidelink feedback resources; and

transmitting a sidelink feedback signal, to a second wireless device, via the sidelink feedback resource.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

measuring the received signal power, wherein the received signal power:

is received from a base station or a third wireless device; and

comprises a reference signal received power (RSRP) comprising a linear average of power contributions of resource elements of one or more antenna ports that carry reference signals configured for RSRP measurements.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the received signal power comprises a pathloss comprising a reference signal transmission power minus a RSRP.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining, based on the received signal power, a transmission power of the sidelink feedback signal.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, by the first wireless device, one or more messages comprising one or more conditions for the at least two sidelink feedback resources.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising determining, based on the received signal power satisfying at least one of the one or more conditions, the sidelink feedback resource.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the one or more conditions comprise an upper bound and/or a lower bound of the received signal power.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sidelink feedback signal comprises hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, by the first wireless device from the second wireless device, one or more transport blocks via a physical sidelink shared channel; and

transmitting, by the first wireless device, the sidelink feedback signal in response to the receiving of the one or more transport blocks.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more configuration parameters are received from a base station or a third 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 one or more configuration parameters comprising a plurality of sidelink feedback resources, wherein:

at least two sidelink feedback resources, of the plurality of sidelink feedback resources, are associated with different received signal power values, and

each of the at least two sidelink feedback resources are at least one of a time resource or a frequency resource;

select, based on a value, of the different received signal power values, for a received signal power, a sidelink feedback resource from the at least two sidelink feedback resources; and

transmit a sidelink feedback signal to a second wireless device via the sidelink feedback resource.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to measure the received signal power, the received signal power comprising a reference signal received power (RSRP) defined as a linear average over power contributions of resource elements of one or more antenna ports that carry reference signals configured for RSRP measurement, or a pathloss from a base station or a third wireless device that is defined as a reference signal transmission power minus the RSRP.

13. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to determine a transmission power of the sidelink feedback signal based on the received signal power.

14. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to receive one or more messages comprising one or more conditions for the at least two sidelink feedback resources.

15. The wireless device of claim 14 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to determine the sidelink feedback resource based on the received signal power satisfying at least one of the one or more conditions.

16. The wireless device of claim 15 , wherein the one or more conditions comprise an upper bound and/or a lower bound of the received signal power.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the sidelink feedback signal comprises a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback or a channel state information (CSI) feedback.

18. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to:

receive, from the second wireless device, one or more transport blocks via a physical sidelink shared channel; and

transmit the sidelink feedback signal in response to the one or more transport blocks being received.

19. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the one or more configuration parameters are received from a base station or a third wireless device.

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:

receive one or more configuration parameters comprising a plurality of sidelink feedback resources, wherein:

at least two sidelink feedback resources, of the plurality of sidelink feedback resources, are associated with different received signal power values; and

each of the at least two sidelink feedback resources are at least one of a time resource or a frequency resource;

select, based on a value, of the different received signal power values, for a received signal power, a sidelink feedback resource from the at least two sidelink feedback resources; and

transmit a sidelink feedback signal via the sidelink feedback resource; 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 feedback signal from the first wireless device.
