Abstract

Claims (70)

1. A method for performing a first apparatus in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

determining a resource selection window for selecting a resource related to sidelink (SL) transmission,

wherein an end of the resource selection window is determined based on a delay budget of a packet;

based on SL hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback being configured, selecting a first SL resource and a second SL resource from a subset of resources related to the SL transmission, (i) ensuring a minimum time gap between two resources and (ii) within the resource selection window of which the end is determined based on the delay budget of a packet,

wherein the minimum time gap is a time gap required (i) from a time the first apparatus transmits data to a second apparatus (ii) to a time the first apparatus retransmits data to the second apparatus based on a reception of the SL HARQ feedback; and

transmitting, to the second apparatus, data in which the SL HARQ feedback is enabled, based on the first SL resource.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the resource selection window includes at least one of a first resource selection window or a second resource selection window,

wherein the first SL resource is selected based on the minimum time gap in the at least one of the first resource selection window or the second resource selection window, and

wherein the second SL resource is selected based on the minimum time gap in the at least one of the second resource selection window or the second resource selection window.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving an SL HARQ NACK for the data from the second apparatus; and

retransmitting the data to the second apparatus based on the second SL resource.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

sensing at least one resource related to the SL transmission, and

wherein the first SL resource and the second SL resource are selected from remaining resources except resources excluded by the sensing, (i) ensuring the minimum time gap between two resources and (ii) within the resource selection window of which the size is determined based on the delay budget of a packet.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from a base station, information indicating whether to enable or disable the SL HARQ feedback,

wherein a maximum number of retransmissions related to the resource is configured, and

wherein the data is transmitted a number of times that is equal to or less than the maximum number of retransmission.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving information related to SL HARQ feedback, and

wherein the information related to SL HARQ feedback includes at least one of the maximum number of retransmission, a default number of retransmission, or HARQ round trip time (RTT).

7. The method of claim 6 ,

wherein the maximum number of retransmission is a number of retransmissions of the data allowed to the first apparatus, and

wherein the default number of HARQ retransmission is a number of retransmissions of the data required to the first apparatus.

8. The method of claim 7 ,

wherein the resource selection window is adjusted based on a time duration of the resource selection window, the maximum number of HARQ retransmission and an HARQ RTT applying a maximum delayable time value.

9. The method of claim 7 ,

wherein the resource selection window is adjusted based on the information related to the SL HARQ feedback and information related to capability of the first apparatus.

10. The method of claim 7 ,

wherein the resource selection window is adjusted based on the information related to the SL HARQ feedback and reliability information related to the data.

11. The method of claim 7 ,

wherein the resource selection window is adjusted based on the information related to the SL HARQ feedback and priority information related to the data.

12. The method of claim 7 ,

wherein the resource selection window is adjusted based on the information related to the SL HARQ feedback and channel information related to the data.

13. A first apparatus in a wireless communication system, comprising:

one or more processors; one or more transceivers; and

one or more memories connected to the one or more processors and storing instructions that, based on being executed, cause the first apparatus to perform operations comprising:

determining a resource selection window for selecting a resource related to sidelink (SL) transmission,

wherein an end of the resource selection window is determined based on a delay budget of a packet;

based on SL hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback being configured, selecting a first SL resource and a second SL resource from a subset of resources related to the SL transmission, (i) ensuring a minimum time gap between two resources and (ii) within the resource selection window of which the end is determined based on the delay budget of a packet,

wherein the minimum time gap is a time gap required (i) from a time the first apparatus transmits data to a second apparatus (ii) to a time the first apparatus retransmits data to the second apparatus based on a reception of the SL HARQ feedback; and

transmitting, to the second apparatus, data in which the SL HARQ feedback is enabled, based on the first SL resource.

14. The first apparatus of claim 13 ,

wherein the resource selection window includes at least one of a first resource selection window or a second resource selection window,

wherein the first SL resource is selected based on the minimum time gap in at least one of the first resource selection window or the second resource selection window, and

wherein the second SL resource is selected based on the minimum time gap in at least one of the second resource selection window or the first resource selection window.

15. The first apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving an SL HARQ NACK for the data from the second apparatus; and

retransmitting the data to the second apparatus based on the second SL resource.

16. The first apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the operations further comprise:

sensing the resource related to the SL transmission, and

wherein the first SL resource and the second SL resource are selected from remaining resources except resources excluded by the sensing, (i) ensuring the minimum time gap between two resources and (ii) within the resource selection window of which the size is determined based on the delay budget of a packet.

17. The first apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving information related to SL HARQ feedback, and

a maximum number of retransmission related to the resource is configured.

18. The first apparatus of claim 17 ,

wherein the information related to SL HARQ feedback includes at least one of the maximum number of retransmission, a default number of retransmission, or HARQ round trip time (RTT).

19. A processing device adapted to control a first user equipment (UE), the processing device comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more memories operably connectable to the one or more processors and storing instructions that, based on the instructions being executed, cause the first UE to perform operations comprising:
