  • Publication number: 20240137929
    Abstract: This application provides a sidelink feedback information transmission method and a communication apparatus. The method includes: A first terminal sends first indication information to a second terminal, where the first indication information indicates that first channel occupancy time includes a first physical sidelink feedback channel PSFCH resource; and the first terminal receives, on the first PSFCH resource, feedback information from the second terminal. In this application, the second terminal sends the feedback information by using a resource contended by the first terminal. Compared with a solution in which the second terminal contends for a resource to send the feedback information, this solution in this application can reduce a possibility of a contention failure of the second terminal, and improve accuracy of data transmission.

  • Publication number: 20240129901
    Abstract: A communication method and apparatus are disclosed. A first terminal apparatus may receive first data from a second terminal apparatus, and determine a feedback time unit in a channel occupancy time, where the feedback time unit corresponds to the first data. The first terminal apparatus may transmit first feedback information on a first frequency domain resource in the feedback time unit, and transmit second feedback information on a second frequency domain resource. The first feedback information is an acknowledgment or a negative acknowledgment for the first data, the first frequency domain resource is determined based on a time-frequency resource carrying the first data, the first frequency domain resource and the second frequency domain resource belong to a first channel, and the first frequency domain resource and the second frequency domain resource do not overlap.

  • Patent number: 11870084
    Abstract: The present invention provides a fiber-reinforced aerogel material which can be used as insulation in thermal battery applications. The fiber-reinforced aerogel material is highly durable, flexible, and has a thermal performance that exceeds the insulation materials currently used in thermal battery applications. The fiber-reinforced aerogel insulation material can be as thin as 1 mm less, and can have a thickness variation as low as 2% or less. Also provided is a method for improving the performance of a thermal battery by incorporating a reinforced aerogel material into the thermal battery. Further provided is a casting method for producing thin fiber-reinforced aerogel materials.
