Method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving sidelink harq feedback information
Provided are methods and apparatuses for transmitting HARQ feedback information for sidelink transmission. In particular, a method of a transmitting user equipment (UE) is provided for transmitting the HARQ feedback information for the sidelink transmission. The method may include: receiving, from the base station, resource assignment information on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) for transmitting, to the base station, the HARQ feedback information for the sidelink transmission to a receiving UE; generating the HARQ feedback information based on a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) for the sidelink transmission received from the receiving UE; and transmitting the HARQ feedback information over the PUCCH based on the resource assignment information to the base station.
1. A method of transmitting hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback information for sidelink, performed by a receiving user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
receiving, through a higher layer signaling, sidelink configuration information for a sidelink resource pool;
receiving, through sidelink control information (SCI), scheduling information for a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) and information indicating whether to transmit the HARQ feedback information;
receiving, through the PSSCH, sidelink data from a transmitting UE; and
transmitting, through a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH), the HARQ feedback information using the sidelink resource pool,
wherein the HARQ feedback information is transmitted based on the information indicating whether to transmit the HARQ feedback information, and
wherein the HARQ feedback information is transmitted further based on
i) a sequence associated with the sidelink resource pool and applied to a cyclic shift, and
ii) information of a timing gap between a reception of the PSSCH and a transmission of the PSFCH, the timing gap information being received through the higher layer signaling,
wherein the cyclic shift has a value based on
an identity of the receiving UE that is indicated by the higher layer signaling,
an identity of the transmitting UE that is included in the scheduling information of the SCI, the SCI provided to the receiving UE from the transmitting UE, and
a value of the HARQ feedback, information that is transmitted in response to the PSSCH, and
wherein, in determining the timing gap information, the reception of the PSSCH includes the receiving of the sidelink data from the transmitting UE and the transmission of the PSFCH is performed in response to the PSSCH reception.
2. The method according to claim 1 ,
wherein the cyclic shift includes a separate cyclic shift that is based on a value of one of the ACK or the NACK or is based on a value of only the NACK.
3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the value of the HARQ feedback information is either an acknowledgement (ACK) or a negative acknowledgement (NACK).
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the value of the cyclic shift is determined by a length of the sequence expressed as a number of symbols.
5. A receiving user equipment (UE) for transmitting hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback information for sidelink, the receiving UE comprising:
a receiver configured
to receive, through a higher layer signaling, sidelink configuration information for a sidelink resource pool,
to receive, through sidelink control information (SCI), scheduling information for a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) and information indicating whether to transmit the HARQ feedback information, and
to receive, through the PSSCH, sidelink data from a transmitting UE; and
a transmitter configured to transmit, through a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH), the HARQ feedback information using the sidelink resource pool,
wherein the HARQ feedback information is transmitted based on the information indicating whether to transmit the HARQ feedback information, and
wherein the HARQ feedback information is transmitted further based on
i) a sequence associated with the sidelink resource pool and applied to a cyclic shift, and
ii) information of a timing gap between a reception of the PSSCH and a transmission of the PSFCH, the timing gap information being received through the higher layer signaling,
wherein the cyclic shift has a value based on
an identity of the receiving UE that is indicated by the higher layer signaling,
an identity of the transmitting UE that is included in the scheduling information of the SCI, the SCI provided to the receiving UE from the transmitting UE, and
a value of the HARQ feedback, information that is transmitted in response to the PSSCH, and
wherein, in determining the timing gap information, the reception of the PSSCH includes the receiving of the sidelink data from the transmitting UE and the transmission of the PSFCH is performed in response to the PSSCH reception.
6. The receiving UE according to claim 5 ,
wherein the cyclic shift includes a separate cyclic shift that is based on a value of one of the ACK or the NACK or is based on a value of only the NACK.
7. The receiving UE according to claim 6 , wherein the value of the HARQ feedback information is either an acknowledgement (ACK) or a negative acknowledgement (NACK).
8. The receiving UE according to claim 5 , wherein the value of the cyclic shift is determined by a length of the sequence expressed as a number of symbols.
