  • Publication number: 20230345454
    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.

  • Patent number: 11777529
    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.

  • Patent number: 11765785
    Abstract: Aspects described herein relate to sidelink-assisted virtual multi-link. In one aspect, for example, a relay node may serve as an additional virtual antenna panel for a UE by receiving downlink data from a base station via an access link, or receiving uplink data from the UE via a sidelink. 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.

  • Publication number: 20230292317
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit compressed bitmap(s) to indicate preferred or non-preferred sidelink resources. A first UE may monitor a set of sidelink resources including a set of slots and subchannels for the slots and determine which resources are available for communications for a second UE. In some examples, the first UE may generate a bitmap indicating which slots have at least one subchannel that is unavailable, and, for each slot having at least one subchannel that is unavailable, a bitmap indicating which subchannels are unavailable for that slot. The first UE may transmit the bitmaps to the second UE. In some examples, the first UE may generate a bitmap indicating which slots have at least one subchannel that is available, and, for each slot having at least one subchannel that is available, a bitmap indicating which subchannels are available.
