7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting a transport block (TB), based on the SCI, to the one or more second wireless devices.
8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising receiving a feedback message, based on the TB, from the one or more second wireless devices in response to a distance between the first wireless device and the one or more second wireless devices being smaller than the first communication range threshold indicated by the SCI.
9. A method comprising:
determining, by a first wireless device, sidelink configurations for sidelink communications indicating:
zone configurations for sidelink transmissions; and
communication range thresholds each corresponding to a respective zone configuration of the zone configurations; and
receiving, by the first wireless device from a second wireless device, sidelink control information (SCI) indicating:
a zone, of a first zone configuration of the zone configurations, indicating a geographic location of the second wireless device for the first wireless device to transmit feedback of the sidelink transmissions; and
a first communication range threshold, of the first zone configuration, indicating a communication range for the first wireless device to transmit the feedback of the sidelink transmissions.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the sidelink configurations are pre-configured sidelink configurations in the first wireless device.
