Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A communication device, which may be otherwise known as user equipment (UE), may receive a data transmission and determine a feedback timing value based on the data transmission. The communication device may determine a feedback resource set in a resource pool associated with one or more slots based on the feedback timing value, and transmit a feedback using the feedback resource set associated with the one or more slots and corresponding to the feedback timing value.

determining, based at least in part on a configuration, a plurality of feedback resource sets in a resource pool associated with one or more slots, each feedback resource set of the plurality of feedback resource sets in the resource pool corresponding to a separate feedback timing value;

receiving a data transmission;

determining a respective feedback timing value based at least in part on the data transmission;

determining a respective feedback resource set of the plurality of feedback resource sets in the resource pool associated with the one or more slots based at least in part on the respective feedback timing value; and

transmitting a feedback using the respective feedback resource set associated with the one or more slots and corresponding to the respective feedback timing value.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the respective feedback resource set of the plurality of feedback resource sets in the resource pool associated with the one or more slots is based at least in part on a feedback timing associated with the data transmission.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

modifying a feedback timeline based at least in part on the respective feedback timing value, wherein transmitting the feedback comprises:

transmitting the feedback according to the modified feedback timeline.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the plurality of feedback resource sets in the resource pool associated with the one or more slots is based at least in part on a radio resource control (RRC) signaling or an RRC configuration.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein each slot associated with the one or more slots corresponds to a separate feedback timing value, and each feedback resource set of the plurality of feedback resource sets in the resource pool associated with each slot corresponds to the separate feedback timing value.

6. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

selecting the respective feedback resource set of the plurality of feedback resource sets in the resource pool associated with the one or more slots for the feedback based at least in part on the respective feedback timing value.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

determining a frequency resource location in the respective feedback resource set of the plurality of feedback resource sets in the resource pool associated with the one or more slots for the feedback based at least in part on the respective feedback timing value.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein determining the frequency resource location in the respective feedback resource set of the plurality of feedback resource sets in the resource pool associated with the one or more slots for the feedback is further based at least in part on one or more of a slot index or a subchannel index.

9. The method of claim 4 , wherein selecting the respective feedback resource set of the plurality of feedback resource sets in the resource pool associated with the one or more slots for the feedback is based at least in part on one or more of capability information or a quality of service (QoS) of traffic.

10. The method of claim 4 , wherein the plurality of feedback resource sets in the resource pool comprises physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) resource sets.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the PSFCH resource sets are frequency division multiplexed.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the PSFCH resource sets are time division multiplexed.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the data transmission comprises:

receiving the data transmission via a sidelink connection between the device and a second device.

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

determining, based at least in part on a configuration, a plurality of feedback resource sets in a resource pool associated with one or more slots, each feedback resource sets of the plurality of feedback resource sets in the resource pool corresponding to a separate feedback timing value;

transmitting a data transmission;

determining a respective feedback timing value based at least in part on the data transmission;

determining a respective feedback resource set of the plurality of feedback resource sets in the resource pool associated with the one or more slots based at least in part on the respective feedback timing value; and

receiving a feedback in the respective feedback resource set associated with the one or more slots and corresponding to the respective feedback timing value.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein determining the respective feedback resource set of the plurality of feedback resource sets in the resource pool associated with the one or more slots is based at least in part on a feedback timing associated with the data transmission.

16. The method of claim 14 , further comprising:

modifying a feedback timeline based at least in part on the respective feedback timing value, wherein receiving the feedback comprises:

receiving the feedback according to the modified feedback timeline.

17. The method of claim 14 , wherein determining the plurality of feedback resource sets in the resource pool associated with the one or more slots based at least in part on a radio resource control (RRC) signaling or an RRC configuration.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein each slot associated with the one or more slots corresponds to a separate feedback timing value, and each feedback resource set of the plurality of feedback resource sets in the resource pool associated with each slot corresponds to the separate feedback timing value.

19. The method of claim 17 , further comprising:

selecting the respective feedback resource set of the plurality of feedback resource sets in the resource pool associated with the one or more slots for the feedback based at least in part on the respective feedback timing value.

20. The method of claim 17 , wherein selecting the respective feedback resource set of the plurality of feedback resource sets in the resource pool associated with the one or more slots for the feedback is based at least in part on one or more of capability information or a quality of service (QoS) of traffic.
