Abstract

A user equipment including: a transmission unit configured to transmit sidelink data based on control information for sidelink scheduling received from a communication apparatus; and a reception unit configured to receive HARQ-ACK information for the sidelink data from a user equipment that receives the sidelink data, wherein the transmission unit transmits the HARQ-ACK information for the sidelink data to the communication apparatus.

Claims (21)

1. A terminal comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit a plurality of pieces of sidelink data, on a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH), based on a plurality of pieces of control information received in downlink; and

a receiver configured to receive a plurality of pieces of feedback information for the plurality of pieces of sidelink data transmitted on the PSSCH,

wherein the transmitter is configured to transmit the plurality of pieces of feedback information, for the plurality of pieces of sidelink data transmitted on the PSSCH, in uplink by a same slot, and

wherein the transmitter is configured to determine a resource for transmitting the plurality of pieces of feedback information based on a last received piece of control information among the plurality of pieces of control information.

2. The terminal as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the transmitter is configured to transmit the plurality of pieces of feedback information in which feedback information is arranged in a reception order of the control information.

3. The terminal as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the transmitter is configured to transmit the plurality of pieces of feedback information, for the plurality of pieces of sidelink data transmitted on the PSSCH, in uplink by a same slot of a single physical uplink control channel (PUCCH).

4. A system comprising:

a terminal comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit a plurality of pieces of sidelink data, on a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH), based on a plurality of pieces of control information received in downlink; and

a receiver configured to receive a plurality of pieces of feedback information for the plurality of pieces of sidelink data transmitted on the PSSCH,

wherein the transmitter of the terminal is configured to transmit the plurality of pieces of feedback information, for the plurality of pieces of sidelink data transmitted on the PSSCH, in uplink by a same slot, and

wherein the transmitter of the terminal is configured to determine a resource for transmitting the plurality of pieces of feedback information based on a last received piece of control information among the plurality of pieces of control information, and

a base station comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit the plurality of pieces of control information; and

a receiver configured to receive the plurality of pieces of feedback information for the plurality of pieces of sidelink data transmitted on the PSSCH.

5. A feedback method executed by a terminal, the method comprising:

transmitting a plurality of pieces of sidelink data, on a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH), based on a plurality of pieces of control information received in downlink;

receiving a plurality of pieces of feedback information for the plurality of pieces of sidelink data transmitted on the PSSCH;

transmitting the plurality of pieces of feedback information, for the plurality of pieces of sidelink data transmitted on the PSSCH, in uplink by a same slot; and

determining a resource for transmitting the plurality of pieces of feedback information based on a last received piece of control information among the plurality of pieces of control information.
