Abstract

A wireless device receives one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising one or more configuration parameters of a bandwidth part, wherein the one or more configuration parameters comprise: a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) configuration, for reporting uplink feedback, indicating a first PUCCH and a first PUCCH format; and, a second PUCCH configuration, for reporting sidelink feedback, indicating a second PUCCH and a second PUCCH format. The wireless device transmits, via the first PUCCH format and a first PUCCH resource of the first PUCCH configuration, an uplink feedback report of a downlink transport block. The wireless device transmits, via the second PUCCH format and a second PUCCH resource of the second PUCCH configuration, a sidelink feedback report of a sidelink transport block.

Claims (49)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising one or more configuration parameters of a bandwidth part, wherein the one or more configuration parameters comprise:

a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) configuration, for reporting uplink feedback, indicating a first PUCCH and a first PUCCH format; and

a second PUCCH configuration, for reporting sidelink feedback, indicating a second PUCCH and a second PUCCH format;

transmitting, via the first PUCCH format and a first PUCCH resource of the first PUCCH configuration, an uplink feedback report of a downlink transport block; and

transmitting, via the second PUCCH format and a second PUCCH resource of the second PUCCH configuration, a sidelink feedback report of a sidelink transport block.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the wireless device receives the one or more RRC messages from a base station;

the wireless device transmits the uplink feedback report to the base station; and

the wireless device transmits the sidelink feedback report to the base station.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting the sidelink transport block to a second wireless device.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first PUCCH resource is determined based on the first PUCCH and a first PUCCH resource indicator.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the first PUCCH resource indicator is configured by a base station.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the first PUCCH resource indicator is configured via a downlink control information (DCI) or the one or more RRC messages.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second PUCCH resource is determined based on the second PUCCH and a second PUCCH resource indicator.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the second PUCCH resource indicator is configured by a base station.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the second PUCCH resource indicator is configured via a downlink control information (DCI) or the one or more RRC messages.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second PUCCH configuration comprises:

a starting symbol index of a PUCCH transmission on the second PUCCH; and

a number of symbols of the PUCCH transmission on the second PUCCH.

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 radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising one or more configuration parameters of a bandwidth part, wherein the one or more configuration parameters comprise:

a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) configuration, for reporting uplink feedback, indicating a first physical layer uplink control channel (PUCCH) and a first PUCCH format; and

a second PUCCH configuration, for reporting sidelink feedback, indicating a second PUCCH and a second PUCCH format;

transmit, via the first PUCCH format and a first PUCCH resource of the first PUCCH configuration, an uplink feedback report of a downlink transport block; and

transmit, via the second PUCCH format and a second PUCCH resource of the second PUCCH configuration, a sidelink feedback report of a sidelink transport block.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to receive the downlink transport block.

13. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to transmit the sidelink transport block to a second wireless device.

14. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the first PUCCH resource is determined based on the first PUCCH and a first PUCCH resource indicator.

15. The wireless device of claim 14 , wherein the first PUCCH resource indicator is configured by a base station.

16. The wireless device of claim 14 , wherein the first PUCCH resource indicator is configured via a downlink control information (DCI) or the one or more RRC messages.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the second PUCCH resource is determined based on the second PUCCH and a second PUCCH resource indicator.

18. The wireless device of claim 17 , wherein the second PUCCH resource indicator is configured by a base station via a downlink control information (DCI) or the one or more RRC messages.

19. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the second PUCCH configuration comprises:

a starting symbol index of a PUCCH transmission on the second PUCCH; and

a number of symbols of the PUCCH transmission on the second PUCCH.

20. A system comprising:

a base station comprising: one or more first processors and first memory storing first instructions that, when executed by the one or more first processors, cause the base station to:

transmit one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising one or more configuration parameters of a bandwidth part (BWP), wherein the one or more configuration parameters comprise:

a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) configuration for reporting uplink feedback, indicating a first PUCCH and a first PUCCH format; and

a second PUCCH configuration, for reporting sidelink feedback, indicating a second PUCCH and a second PUCCH format; and

a 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 wireless device to:

receive the one or more RRC messages comprising the one or more configuration parameters of the BWP, wherein the one or more configuration parameters comprise:

the first PUCCH configuration for reporting uplink feedback; and

the second PUCCH configuration for reporting sidelink feedback;

transmit, via the first PUCCH format and a first PUCCH resource of the first PUCCH configuration, an uplink feedback report of a downlink transport block; and

transmit, via the second PUCCH and a second PUCCH resource of the second PUCCH configuration, a sidelink feedback report of a sidelink transport.
