  • Patent number: 11832217
    Abstract: A first user equipment (UE) can determine a slot, from a resource pool including a plurality of slots allocated for sidelink communications, for providing hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback to a second UE via a sidelink channel. The determination may be based on a physical slot index or a logical slot index. The first UE may send the HARQ feedback on the sidelink channel in the slot, or refrain from sending the HARQ feedback, based on the determination. The first UE may determine the slot has a first slot index that is at least a preconfigured number of slots after a slot scheduled for sidelink data transmission having a second slot index.

  • Patent number: 11831442
    Abstract: Transmit and receive wireless communication devices configured to independently determine the same transport block size (TBS) for use with sidelink communications. In an illustrative example, a transmitting device includes a transceiver; a memory; and a processor, with the processor configured to generate or obtain a Physical Sidelink Feedback Channel (PSFCH) overhead indicator indicating whether PSFCH overhead is used in determining the TBS. The processor also determines a number of demodulation reference signal (DMRS) resource elements (REs) associated with DMRS overhead for use in the TBS determination. The processor determines the TBS based on the number of DMRS REs and on the PSFCH overhead indicator, and then transmits signals to a receiving device using sidelink wireless communication that include a PSFCH overhead indicator. The signals are transmitted according to the determined TBS.

  • Patent number: 11832238
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit to a base station a request for resources including an indication of a transmission beam for performing a sidelink communication in a millimeter wave (mmW) system. The base station may determine a transmission configuration based on the request for resources. The UE may transmit reference signals based on the transmission configuration, and the base station may monitor for the reference signals using one or more reception beams. The base station may determine timing information for the sidelink communication, and transmit the timing information to the UE in a resource grant. Based on the timing information, the UE may perform the sidelink communication using the transmission beam. In some examples, the sidelink communication may be multiplexed in frequency from the perspective of the base station with an uplink transmission from another UE.

  • Patent number: 11832321
    Abstract: Aspects relate to managing a device-to-device communication link via radio resource control (RRC) layer signaling. In an example operation, a first wireless communication device establishes a unicast link with a second wireless communication device over a device-to-device communication interface and determines that the unicast link is to be reconfigured with at least one updated parameter. The first wireless communication device then sends a link reconfiguration request to the second wireless communication device via a first RRC message over the communication interface. The first RRC message includes the at least one updated parameter. The first wireless communication device receives a link reconfiguration response from the second wireless communication device via a second RRC message over the communication interface based on the link reconfiguration request and determines whether to reconfigure the unicast link using the at least one updated parameter based on the received link reconfiguration response.

The unicast connection over the sidelink may then be established between the first UE and the second UE, and user data may then be transmitted over the sidelink on the established unicast connection. Additionally, the first UE may transmit a connection complete message (e.g., a third message) to the second UE indicating that the unicast connection has been established. The request message, the response message, and the connection complete message may be radio resource control (RRC) messages.
