Abstract

A method for performing wireless communication by a first device and a device supporting same may be provided. The method may comprise the steps of: receiving, from a base station, information related to an uplink (UL) resource for reporting sidelink (SL) hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback to the base station; transmitting first sidelink control information (SCI) to a second device through a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH); transmitting second SCI and a medium access control protocol data unit (MAC PDU) to the second device through a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) related to the PSCCH; determining a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) resource on the basis of an index of a sub channel and an index of a slot related to the PSSCH; and transmitting the SL HARQ feedback on the MAC PDU to the base station on the basis of the UL resource. A minimum time gap between the PSFCH resource and the UL resource may be determined on the basis of N, X, numerology of an SL bandwidth part (BWP), and numerology of a UL BWP, wherein N may be determined on the basis of a minimum value among the numerology of the SL BWP and the numerology of the UL BWP, and X may be determined on the basis of information related to a priority.

Claims (69)

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

receiving, from a base station, information related to an uplink (UL) resource for reporting sidelink (SL) hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback to the base station;

transmitting, to a second device, first sidelink control information (SCI) through a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH);

transmitting, to the second device, second SCI and a medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) through a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) related to the PSCCH;

determining a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) resource based on an index of a subchannel and an index of a slot related to the PSSCH; and

transmitting, to the base station, the SL HARQ feedback for the MAC PDU based on the UL resource,

wherein a minimum time gap between the PSFCH resource and the UL resource is determined based on N, X, a numerology of a SL bandwidth part (BWP), and a numerology of a UL BWP,

wherein N is determined based on a minimum value among the numerology of the SL BWP and the numerology of the UL BWP, and

wherein X is determined based on information related to a priority.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the priority is a highest priority among at least one priority allowed for a SL grant allocated by the base station for transmission of the MAC PDU.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein X determined based on a low priority is greater than X determined based on a high priority.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein X is determined based on a latency requirement, and

wherein X determined based on a long latency requirement is greater than X determined based on a short latency requirement.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein X is determined based on a HARQ feedback option related to the MAC PDU,

wherein the HARQ feedback option is a NACK-only feedback option or an ACK/NACK feedback option, and

wherein X determined based on the ACK/NACK feedback option is greater than X determined based on the NACK-only feedback option.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein X is determined based on a PSFCH resource period, and

wherein X determined based on a long PSFCH resource period is greater than X determined based on a short PSFCH resource period.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

reporting, to the base station, information related to simultaneous processing capability for a PSFCH of the first device,

wherein X is determined based on the simultaneous processing capability for the PSFCH of the first device, and

wherein X determined based on low simultaneous processing capability for the PSFCH is greater than X determined based on high simultaneous processing capability for the PSFCH.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein X is determined based on a difference between a first synchronization related to Uu communication between the base station and the first device and a second synchronization related to SL communication between the first device and the second device, and

wherein X determined based on a large difference is greater than X determined based on a small difference.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

measuring a channel busy ratio (CBR) for a resource pool; and
