Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first user equipment (UE) may identify feedback indications and collision indications to transmit to a second UE. A feedback indication may indicate whether sidelink data was received and decoded successfully by the first UE, and a collision indication may indicate an expected conflict between the second UE and a third UE. In one aspect, the first UE may generate a feedback message including both feedback indications and collision indications, and the first UE may prioritize the feedback message based on the feedback indications, the collision indications, or both. In another aspect, the first UE may avoid including collision indications in a same feedback message as feedback indications.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. User equipments (UEs) may transmit sidelink control information (SCI) messages indicating reservations for upcoming sidelink transmissions in the same reserved resource. One of the UEs or another UE may detect a collision in the reserved resource based on the SCI messages. A feedback channel resource for indicating the collision may be calculated based on a time domain parameter of a resource mapping between time domain resources of the sidelink feedback channel and time domain resources of the reserved resource or a frequency domain parameter of a resource mapping between frequency domain resources of the sidelink feedback channel and frequency domain resources of the SCI message. A UE may transmit a collision indication in the calculated feedback channel resource. The UEs that transmitted the SCI messages may monitor the calculated feedback channel resource for a collision indication for the reserved resource.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer storage media, for retransmission of sidelink transmissions using network coding with binned feedback. A transmitting device transmits a transport block and a request for a network coding (NC) encoding device to retransmit the transport block to a plurality of user equipment (UEs). The UEs decode the transport block and report an acknowledgment (ACK) or negative acknowledgment (NACK) on a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) resource associated with a bin for the UEs. The NC encoding device decodes the PSFCH resource for each bin to determine an ACK or NACK status for each bin, and determines whether to encode the transport block in a NC combination packet. The UEs receive the NC combination packet including an encoding of a subset of transport blocks. The receiving devices transmit an ACK or NACK on a PSFCH resource for a bin for each transport block.

The apparatus transmits a first transmission on a PSSCH, the first transmission including the first transport block comprising coordination information and the second transport block.

The receiving device may flexibly determine the DMRS to use for the estimation and demodulation.

The relay node may forward the downlink data to the UE via sidelink, or the uplink data to the base station via the access link. In another aspect, a base station may determine, for a UE, quasi-colocation (QCL) information and a grant for one or both of one or more access link resources or one or more sidelink resources. The base station may further transmit, to the UE, the QCL information and the grant on a downlink communication channel.
