Terminal and communication method
A terminal includes a receiver that receives a plurality of radio signals transmitted via a sidelink; a controller that selects an operation pattern for Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) feedback for the plurality of radio signals based on a specific condition; and a transmitter that transmits sidelink HARQ feedback information in accordance with the selected operation pattern for the HARQ feedback.
1. A terminal comprising:
a receiver that receives a plurality of radio signals transmitted via a sidelink;
a controller that selects an operation pattern for Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) feedback for the plurality of radio signals based on a specific condition; and
a transmitter that transmits sidelink HARQ feedback information in accordance with the selected operation pattern for the HARQ feedback,
wherein the controller selects the operation pattern for the HARQ feedback for the plurality of radio signals based on a maximum number of Physical Sidelink Feedback Channel (PSFCH) transmissions performable at a same timing, and
wherein the operation pattern refers to transmitting multiple HARQ-ACK bits by multiplexing the multiple HARQ-ACK bits, or not to transmit some of the multiple HARQ-ACK bits.
2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the controller selects the operation pattern for the HARQ feedback for the plurality of radio signals based on a cast type of each radio signal of the plurality of radio signals transmitted via the sidelink.
3. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the controller selects the operation pattern for the HARQ feedback for the plurality of radio signals based on a HARQ feedback option applied to a sidelink groupcast transmission.
4. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the controller selects the operation pattern for the HARQ feedback for the plurality of radio signals based on at least one of a transmitting terminal, a priority order of each of a plurality of Physical Sidelink Feedback Channel (PSFCH) transmissions, or a number of the plurality of PSFCH transmissions.
5. A communication method performed by a terminal, the method comprising:
receiving a plurality of radio signals transmitted via a sidelink;
selecting an operation pattern for Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) feedback for the plurality of radio signals based on a specific condition;
transmitting sidelink HARQ feedback information in accordance with the selected operation pattern for the HARQ feedback; and
selecting the operation pattern for the HARQ feedback for the plurality of radio signals based on a maximum number of Physical Sidelink Feedback Channel (PSFCH) transmissions performable at a same timing,
wherein the operation pattern refers to transmitting multiple HARQ-ACK bits by multiplexing the multiple HARQ-ACK bits, or not transmitting some of the multiple HARQ-ACK bits.
