Abstract

A wireless device receives a sidelink (SL) downlink control information (DCI). The SL DCI indicates: one or more first frequency domain resources; one or more first time domain resources; and a periodicity. One or more SL control information (SCI) indicating the periodicity and one or more first SL transmissions is transmitted via a first set of SL resources. The first set of SL resources are determined based on the one or more first frequency domain resources and the one or more first time domain resources. One or more second SL transmissions are transmitted via a second set of SL resources determined based on: the one or more first frequency domain resources; the one or more first time domain resources; and the periodicity.

Claims (44)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, downlink control information (DCI) indicating:

a set of periodic resources for sidelink (SL) transmissions; and

a periodicity of the periodic resources;

in response to the receiving of the DCI, resetting a transmission counter for counting a number of the SL transmissions;

transmitting, via the set of periodic resources and based on the periodicity, one or more SL transmissions of the SL transmissions; and

in response to the transmitting the one or more SL transmissions, incrementing a value of the transmission counter by a value of a counter step after each periodicity.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein one or more first SL transmissions, of the SL transmissions, carry a first SL transport block.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising transmitting or retransmitting the first SL transport block via one or more first resources of the set of periodic resources.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein one or more second SL transmissions, of the SL transmissions, carry a second SL transport block.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising transmitting or retransmitting the second SL transport block via one or more second resources of the set of periodic resources.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the first SL transport block is different from the second SL transport block.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein sidelink control information (SCI) of the SL transmissions indicates the periodicity.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI indicates a counter value indicating a maximum number of one or more SL transmissions of the SL transmissions.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising stopping the SL transmissions based on the transmission counter reaching the counter value.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining, based on the periodicity, successive resources of the set of periodic resources in a time domain.

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 downlink control information (DCI) indicating:

a set of periodic resources for sidelink (SL) transmissions; and

a periodicity of the periodic resources;

in response to the receiving of the DCI, reset a transmission counter for counting a number of the SL transmissions;

transmit, via the set of periodic resources and based on the periodicity, one or more SL transmissions of the SL transmissions; and

in response to the transmitting the one or more SL transmissions, increment a value of the transmission counter by a value of a counter step after each periodicity.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein one or more first SL transmissions, of the SL transmissions, carry a first SL transport block.

13. The wireless device of claim 12 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to transmit or retransmit the first SL transport block via one or more first resources of the set of periodic resources.

14. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein one or more second SL transmissions, of the SL transmissions, carry a second SL transport block.

15. The wireless device of claim 14 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to transmit or retransmit the second SL transport block via one or more second resources of the set of periodic resources.

16. The wireless device of claim 15 , wherein the first SL transport block is different from the second SL transport block.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the DCI indicates a counter value indicating a maximum number of one or more SL transmissions of the SL transmissions.

18. The wireless device of claim 17 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to stop the SL transmissions based on the transmission counter reaching the counter value.

19. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to determine, based on the periodicity, successive resources of the set of periodic resources in a time domain.

20. A system comprising:

a base station; and

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 downlink control information (DCI) indicating:

a set of periodic resources for sidelink (SL) transmissions; and

a periodicity of the periodic resources;

in response to the receiving of the DCI, reset a transmission counter for counting a number of the SL transmissions;

transmit, via the set of periodic resources and based on the periodicity, one or more SL transmissions of the SL transmissions; and

in response to the transmitting the one or more SL transmissions, increment a value of the transmission counter by a value of a counter step after each periodicity.
