Abstract

A first device performing wireless communication receives, from a base station, information related to physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources and information related to M sidelink (SL) slots; performs N physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) transmissions based on N SL slots from among the M SL slots; determines one physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) slot related to the PSSCH transmissions; and in response to the N PSSCH transmissions, receives information on K pieces of SL hybrid automatic repeat request feedback on the one PSFCH slot. The first device transmits information on L pieces of HARQ feedback to the base station based on the PUCCH resources, wherein the one PSFCH slot is associated with L SL slots, M, N, K and L are positive integers, L is greater than or equal to M, M is greater than or equal to N, and N is greater than or equal to K.
