Abstract

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for a first device to perform wireless communication is proposed. The method comprises: obtaining a sidelink discontinuous reception (SL DRX) configuration; receiving first sidelink control information (SCI) for scheduling a first physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) through a first physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) from a second device; receiving second SCI and first data from the second device through the first PSSCH; and determining a first physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) resource based on an index of a slot and an index of a subchannel which are related to the first PSSCH, wherein a first timer included in the SL DRX configuration is started based on skipping of a first PSFCH transmission related to the first PSSCH on the first PSFCH resource.

Claims (41)

1. A method for performing wireless communication by a first device, the method comprising:

obtaining a sidelink (SL) discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration including information related to an SL DRX timer;

receiving, from a second device, first sidelink control information (SCI) for scheduling of a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) and second SCI through a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH);

receiving, from the second device, the second SCI and through the PSSCH; and

determining a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) resource related to the PSSCH,

wherein based on that (i) positive-negative acknowledgment-based hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback is enabled, and (ii) SL HARQ feedback is not transmitted on the PSFCH resource due to uplink (UL)-SL prioritization, the SL DRX timer is started by the first device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SL HARQ feedback includes a positive acknowledgment, or a negative acknowledgment.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SL DRX timer includes at least one of an SL DRX HARQ round trip time (RTT) timer, or an SL DRX retransmission timer.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the positive-negative acknowledgment-based HARQ feedback is enabled for groupcast of the first device.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SL HARQ feedback including a positive acknowledgment is transmitted based on a reserved resource located after the SL DRX timer expires.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein decoding of the PSSCH is additionally performed on a reserved resource located after the SL DRX timer expires.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the SL HARQ feedback including a positive acknowledgment is transmitted based on the decoding being successful.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein a number of reserved resources located after the SL DRX timer expires is configured differently based on at least one of a service type, priority, or congestion in a resource pool.

9. A first device adapted to perform wireless communication, the first device comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one processor; and

at least one memory connected to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed, cause the first device to perform operations comprising:

obtaining a sidelink (SL) discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration including information related to an SL DRX timer;

receiving, from a second device, first sidelink control information (SCI) for scheduling of a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) and second SCI through a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH);

receiving, from the second device, the second SCI and data through the PSSCH; and

determining a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) resource related to the PSSCH,

wherein, based on that (i) positive-negative acknowledgment-based hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback is enabled, and (ii) SL HARQ feedback is not transmitted on the PSFCH resource due to uplink (UL)-SL prioritization, the SL DRX timer is started by the first device.

10. The first device of claim 9 , wherein the SL HARQ feedback includes a positive acknowledgment or a negative acknowledgment.

11. The first device of claim 9 , wherein the SL DRX timer includes at least one of an SL DRX HARQ round trip time (RTT) timer, or an SL DRX retransmission timer.

12. The first device of claim 9 , wherein the positive-negative acknowledgment-based HARQ feedback is enabled for groupcast of the first device.

13. The first device of claim 9 , wherein the SL HARQ feedback including a positive acknowledgment is transmitted based on a reserved resource located after the SL DRX timer expires.

14. The first device of claim 9 , wherein decoding of the PSSCH is additionally performed on a reserved resource located after the SL DRX timer expires, and

wherein the SL HARQ feedback including a positive acknowledgment is transmitted based on the decoding being successful.

15. A processing device adapted to control a first device, the processing device comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory connected to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed, cause the first device to perform operations comprising:

obtaining a sidelink (SL) discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration including information related to an SL DRX timer;

receiving, from a second device, first sidelink control information (SCI) for scheduling of a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) and second SCI through a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH);

receiving, from the second device, the second SCI and data through the PSSCH; and

determining a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) resource related to the PSSCH,

wherein, based on that (i) positive-negative acknowledgment-based hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback is enabled, and (ii) SL HARQ feedback is not transmitted on the PSFCH resource due to uplink (UL)-SL prioritization, the SL DRX timer is started by the first device.

16. The processing device of claim 15 , wherein the SL HARQ feedback includes a positive acknowledgment or a negative acknowledgment.

17. The processing device of claim 15 , wherein the SL DRX timer includes at least one of an SL DRX HARQ round trip time (RTT) timer, or an SL DRX retransmission timer.

18. The processing device of claim 15 , wherein the positive-negative acknowledgment-based HARQ feedback is enabled for groupcast of the first device.

19. The processing device of claim 15 , wherein the SL HARQ feedback including a positive acknowledgment is transmitted based on a reserved resource located after the SL DRX timer expires.

20. The processing device of claim 15 , wherein decoding of the PSSCH is additionally performed on a reserved resource located after the SL DRX timer expires, and wherein the SL HARQ feedback including a positive acknowledgment is transmitted based on the decoding being successful.
