Abstract

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for determining a feedback resource associated with groupcast data. One method includes receiving a configuration associated with a resource pool for PSFCH. The method includes receiving groupcast data via sidelink and determining HARQ feedback based at least in part on the received groupcast data. The method includes determining a PSFCH resource for the HARQ feedback based at least in part on the resource pool for the PSFCH and transmitting the HARQ feedback using the determined PSFCH resource.

Claims (38)

1. A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:

at least one memory; and

at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the UE to:

receive a configuration associated with a resource pool for physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH);

receive groupcast data via sidelink;

determine hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback based at least in part on the received groupcast data;

determine a PSFCH resource for the HARQ feedback in response to the reception of the groupcast data and based on a member identifier associated with the UE, wherein the PSFCH resource is associated with the resource pool for the PSFCH; and

transmit the HARQ feedback using the determined PSFCH resource.

2. The UE of claim 1 , wherein to receive the groupcast data, the at least one processor is configured to cause the UE to receive a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) transmission comprising sidelink control information (SCI), and wherein the SCI indicates a groupcast transmission.

3. The UE of claim 2 , wherein the SCI indicates a set of values for the HARQ feedback, wherein the set of values includes a first value indicating a positive acknowledgement (ACK) and a second value indicating a negative acknowledgement (NACK).

4. The UE of claim 2 , wherein the SCI indicates a data transmission index and a transmission occasion.

5. The UE of claim 1 , wherein to determine the PSFCH resource, the at least one processor is configured to cause the UE to select the PSFCH resource from a subset of the resource pool.

6. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the subset of the resource pool is based on a Quality of Service (QOS) priority of the groupcast data.

7. The UE of claim 6 , wherein to receive the groupcast data, the at least one processor is configured to cause the UE to receive a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) transmission comprising sidelink control information (SCI), and wherein the SCI indicates the QoS priority of the groupcast data.

8. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the resource pool is configured with a first pool of PSFCH resources, and wherein the subset of the resource pool comprises a second pool of PSFCH resources within the first pool of PSFCH resources.

9. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the second pool of PSFCH resources is determined based on sidelink control information (SCI).

10. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the second pool of PSFCH resources is indicated by a network entity.

11. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the determined PSFCH resource is within a PSFCH resource set configured within the resource pool, wherein the PSFCH resource set is semi-statically assigned to the UE for the HARQ feedback.

12. A processor for wireless communication, comprising:

at least one controller coupled with at least one memory and configured to cause the processor to:

receive a configuration associated with a resource pool for physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH);

receive groupcast data via sidelink communication;

determine hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback based at least in part on the received groupcast data;

determine a PSFCH resource for the HARQ feedback in response to the reception of the groupcast data and based on a member identifier associated with a user equipment (UE), wherein the PSFCH resource is associated with the resource pool for the PSFCH; and

transmit the HARQ feedback using the determined PSFCH resource.

13. The processor of claim 12 , wherein to receive the groupcast data, the at least one controller is configured to cause the processor to receive a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) transmission comprising sidelink control information (SCI), and wherein the SCI indicates a groupcast transmission.

14. The processor of claim 13 , wherein the SCI indicates a set of values for the HARQ feedback, wherein the set of values includes a first value indicating a positive acknowledgement (ACK) and a second values indicating a negative acknowledgement (NACK).

15. The processor of claim 13 , wherein the SCI indicates a data transmission index and a transmission occasion.

16. The processor of claim 12 , wherein to determine the PSFCH resource, the at least one controller is configured to cause the processor to select the PSFCH resource from a subset of the resource pool.

17. The processor of claim 16 , wherein the resource pool is configured with a first pool of PSFCH resources, wherein the subset of the resource pool comprises a second pool of PSFCH resources within the first pool of PSFCH resources, and wherein the first pool of PSFCH resources is semi-statically assigned to the processor for the HARQ feedback.

18. The processor of claim 17 , wherein the second pool of PSFCH resources is indicated by a network entity.

19. The processor of claim 12 , wherein the determined PSFCH resource is within a PSFCH resource set configured within the resource pool, wherein the PSFCH resource set is semi-statically assigned to the UE for the HARQ feedback.

20. A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

receiving a configuration associated with a resource pool for physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH);

receiving groupcast data via sidelink communication;

determining hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback based at least in part on the received groupcast data;

determining a PSFCH resource for the HARQ feedback in response to the reception of the groupcast data and based on a member identifier associated with the UE, wherein the PSFCH resource is associated with based at least in part on the resource pool for the PSFCH; and

transmitting the HARQ feedback using the determined PSFCH resource.
