Abstract

A communication device and a method of transmission of the same are provided. The method includes receiving a first transmission and a second transmission from a first communication device and transmitting a first feedback of the first transmission and a second feedback of the second transmission to the first communication device, wherein the first feedback and the second feedback are transmitted in a third transmission. This can solve issues in the prior art that feedback information cannot be transmitted due to channel being busy when performing sidelink in unlicensed spectrum, provide a method of acknowledgement feedback in sidelink for unlicensed system, and provide a method of allowing a second device to retransmit a first feedback in a next time when the second device transmits another feedback to the same first device.

Claims (48)

1. A method of sidelink transmission of a communication device, comprising:

receiving a first sidelink transmission and a second sidelink transmission from a first communication device; and

transmitting a first feedback of the first sidelink transmission and a second feedback of the second sidelink transmission to the first communication device, wherein the first feedback and the second feedback are transmitted in a third sidelink transmission, the third sidelink transmission comprises a first acknowledgement corresponding to the first sidelink transmission, the first sidelink transmission is located in a first set of resources, the first set of resources is indicated by a first control information, the second sidelink transmission is located in a second set of resources, and the second set of resources is indicated by a second control information, and wherein

the first acknowledgement is a negative acknowledgement (NACK) when a first indication field comprised in the first control information and a second indication field comprised in the second control information indicate a same value, and wherein the same value comprises 0 or 1, and

the first acknowledgement is an NACK or an acknowledgement (ACK) when the first indication field and the second indication field indicate different values.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first sidelink transmission is the last sidelink transmission received by the communication device prior to the second sidelink transmission.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first sidelink transmission and/or the second sidelink transmission comprises at least one of the following:

a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH); or

a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH).

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second feedback comprises an information relevant to an acknowledgement of transmission reception.

5. A communication device, comprising:

a memory;

a transceiver; and

a processor coupled to the memory and the transceiver;

wherein the processor is configured to control the transceiver to:

receive a first sidelink transmission and a second sidelink transmission from a first communication device; and

transmit a first feedback of the first sidelink transmission and a second feedback of the second sidelink transmission to the first communication device, wherein the first feedback and the second feedback are transmitted in a third sidelink transmission, the third sidelink transmission comprises a first acknowledgement corresponding to the first sidelink transmission, the first sidelink transmission is located in a first set of resources, the first set of resources is indicated by a first control information, the second sidelink transmission is located in a second set of resources, and the second set of resources is indicated by a second control information, and wherein

the first acknowledgement is a negative acknowledgement (NACK) when a first indication field comprised in the first control information and a second indication field comprised in the second control information indicate a same value, and wherein the same value comprises 0 or 1, and

the first acknowledgement is an NACK or an acknowledgement (ACK) when the first indication field and the second indication field indicate different values.

6. The communication device of claim 5 , wherein the third sidelink transmission further comprises a second acknowledgement corresponding to the second sidelink transmission.

7. The communication device of claim 5 , wherein the third sidelink transmission comprises a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH).

8. The communication device of claim 5 , wherein the third sidelink transmission is located in a third set of resources,

wherein the third set of resources is associated with the second set of resources in which the second sidelink transmission is located, wherein the association is pre-configured or pre-defined, and

wherein the third set of resources is indicated by the second control information.

9. A method of sidelink transmission of a communication device, comprising:

transmitting a first sidelink transmission and a second sidelink transmission to a second communication device; and

receiving a first feedback of the first sidelink transmission and a second feedback of the second sidelink transmission from the second communication device, wherein the first feedback and the second feedback are received in a third sidelink transmission, the third sidelink transmission comprises a first acknowledgement corresponding to the first sidelink transmission, the first sidelink transmission is located in a first set of resources, the first set of resources is indicated by a first control information, the second sidelink transmission is located in a second set of resources, and the second set of resources is indicated by a second control information, and wherein

the first acknowledgement is a negative acknowledgement (NACK) when a first indication field comprised in the first control information and a second indication field comprised in the second control information indicate a same value, and wherein the same value comprises 0 or 1, and

the first acknowledgement is an NACK or an acknowledgement (ACK) when the first indication field and the second indication field indicate different values.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the first sidelink transmission is the last sidelink transmission transmitted by the communication device prior to the second sidelink transmission.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the first sidelink transmission and/or the second sidelink transmission comprises at least one of the following:

a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH); or

a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH).

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the second feedback comprises an information relevant to an acknowledgement of transmission reception.

13. A communication device, comprising:

a memory;

a transceiver; and

a processor coupled to the memory and the transceiver;

wherein the processor is configured to control the transceiver to:

transmit a first sidelink transmission and a second sidelink transmission to a second communication device; and

receive a first feedback of the first sidelink transmission and a second feedback of the second sidelink transmission from the second communication device, wherein the first feedback and the second feedback are received in a third sidelink transmission, the third sidelink transmission comprises a first acknowledgement corresponding to the first sidelink transmission, the first sidelink transmission is located in a first set of resources, the first set of resources is indicated by a first control information, the second sidelink transmission is located in a second set of resources, and the second set of resources is indicated by a second control information, and wherein

the first acknowledgement is a negative acknowledgement (NACK) when a first indication field comprised in the first control information and a second indication field comprised in the second control information indicate a same value, and wherein the same value comprises 0 or 1, and

the first acknowledgement is an NACK or an acknowledgement (ACK) when the first indication field and the second indication field indicate different values.

14. The communication device of claim 13 , wherein the third sidelink transmission further comprises a second acknowledgement corresponding to the second sidelink transmission.

15. The communication device of claim 13 , wherein the third sidelink transmission comprises a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH).

16. The communication device of claim 13 , wherein the third sidelink transmission is located in a third set of resources,

wherein the third set of resources is associated with the second set of resources in which the second sidelink transmission is located, wherein the association is pre-configured or pre-defined, and

wherein the third set of resources is indicated by the second control information.
