Abstract

A method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving sidelink feedback information. The method includes: receiving, by a terminal equipment, DCI with CRC being scrambled by a SL-RNTI or a SL-CS-RNTI; generating first indication information used for indicating that the first sidelink transmission is successful or that a network device is not needed to schedule retransmission, wherein the first sidelink transmission is not performed on the dynamic grant resource scheduled by the DCI, and a priority of the first indication information is preconfigured; and transmitting the first indication information via a first PUCCH indicated by the DCI.

Claims (40)

1. An apparatus for transmitting sidelink feedback information, comprising:

a receiver configured to receive downlink control information with cyclic redundancy check being scrambled by a sidelink radio network temporary identifier or a sidelink configuration scheduling radio network temporary identifier,

the downlink control information including resource information and being used for a dynamic grant to schedule a terminal equipment to perform first sidelink transmission by using a dynamic grant resource according to the resource information;

processor circuitry configured to generate acknowledgment (ACK) when the first sidelink transmission is not performed on the dynamic grant resource provided by the downlink control information; and

a transmitter configured to transmit the acknowledgment (ACK) via a first physical uplink control channel.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor circuitry is configured to perform priority comparison on channels or signals to determine whether the first physical uplink control channel is able to be transmitted, wherein a priority of the first physical uplink control channel is determined at least according to a priority of the acknowledgment (ACK).

3. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a priority of the acknowledgment (ACK) is configured according to at least one of one or more sidelink priorities.

4. The apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the priority of the acknowledgment (ACK) is configured as a lowest sidelink priority among the one or more sidelink priorities.

5. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitter is configured to transmit the acknowledgment (ACK) via the first physical uplink control channel by using an uplink resource indicated by the downlink control information.

6. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor circuitry is further configured to generate negative acknowledgment (NACK) when a third sidelink transmission is not performed based on prioritization, and

the transmitter is further configured to transmit the negative acknowledgment (NACK) via a second physical uplink control channel, wherein a priority of the negative acknowledgment (NACK) is corresponding to a priority of a logical channel of the third sidelink transmission.

7. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first physical uplink control channel includes a plurality of feedback information comprising the acknowledgment (ACK).

8. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein a priority of the first physical uplink control channel is equal to a highest priority of the plurality of feedback information.

9. The apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein

the transmitter is further configured to perform second sidelink transmission via a physical sidelink control channel and/or a physical sidelink shared channel by using a dynamic grant resource or a configured grant resource;

the receiver is further configured to, via a physical sidelink feedback channel, receive second indication information used for indicating that the second sidelink transmission is successful; and

the processor circuitry is further configured to perform priority comparison on channels or signals and determine that a second physical uplink control channel carrying the second indication information is unable to be transmitted.

10. The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the second sidelink transmission is performed before the first sidelink transmission is performed, and

in a case where the second physical uplink control channel is not transmitted, the downlink control information is transmitted by the network device to schedule the terminal equipment to perform the first sidelink transmission.

11. The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the first sidelink transmission and the second sidelink transmission have the same hybrid automatic repeat request process identifier.

12. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a new data indication field of the downlink control information with the cyclic redundancy check being scrambled by the sidelink radio network temporary identifier does not toggle, a value of a new data indication field of the downlink control information with the cyclic redundancy check being scrambled by the sidelink configuration scheduling radio network temporary identifier is 1.

13. The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein a priority of the second indication information is determined according to a priority indication field in the physical sidelink control channel.

14. An apparatus for receiving sidelink feedback information, comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit downlink control information with cyclic redundancy check being scrambled by a sidelink radio network temporary identifier or a sidelink configuration scheduling radio network temporary identifier,

the downlink control information including resource information and being used for a dynamic grant to schedule a terminal equipment to perform sidelink transmission by using a dynamic grant resource according to the resource information; and

a receiver configured to receive acknowledgment (ACK) transmitted via a physical uplink control channel wherein the acknowledgment (ACK) is generated by the terminal equipment when the sidelink transmission is not performed on the dynamic grant resource provided by the downlink control information.

15. The apparatus according to claim 14 , wherein a priority of the acknowledgment (ACK) is configured as a lowest sidelink priority among one or more sidelink priorities.

16. The apparatus according to claim 14 , wherein the receiver is further configured to receive the acknowledgment (ACK) via a first physical uplink control channel transmitted by using an uplink resource indicated by the downlink control information.

17. The apparatus according to claim 14 , wherein the receiver is further configured to receive negative acknowledgment (NACK) via a second physical uplink control channel; and

the negative acknowledgment (NACK) is generated by the terminal equipment when a third sidelink transmission is not performed based on prioritization, wherein a priority of the negative acknowledgment (NACK) is corresponding to a priority of a logical channel of the third sidelink transmission.

18. The apparatus according to claim 14 , wherein the physical uplink control channel includes a plurality of feedback information comprising the acknowledgment (ACK).

19. The apparatus according to claim 18 , wherein a priority of the physical uplink control channel is equal to a highest priority of the plurality of feedback information.

20. A communication system, comprising:

a terminal equipment configured to:

receive downlink control information with cyclic redundancy check being scrambled by a sidelink radio network temporary identifier or a sidelink configuration scheduling radio network temporary identifier,

the downlink control information including resource information and being used for a dynamic grant to schedule a terminal equipment to perform first sidelink transmission by using a resource according to the dynamic grant resource information,

generate acknowledgment (ACK) when the first sidelink transmission is not performed on the resource provided by the downlink control information, and

transmit the acknowledgment (ACK) via a physical uplink control channel; and

a network device configured to transmit the downlink control information and receive the acknowledgment (ACK).
