Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for feedback request determination. One method (1100) includes determining (1102), at a first sidelink device, whether to request feedback corresponding to communications with a second sidelink device. The method (1100) includes, in response to determining to request feedback corresponding to the communications with the second sidelink device, transmitting (1104) first information to the second sidelink device indicating a request for feedback. The method (1100) includes transmitting (1106) second information to the second sidelink device indicating resources for communicating the feedback.

Methods and apparatuses for handling collision between sidelink feedback and sidelink data in a wireless communication system are disclosed herein. In one method, a User Equipment (UE) is (pre-)configured to perform one or more sidelink transmissions on multiple carriers, wherein the UE is able to transmit a first number of carriers among the multiple carriers at the same time. The UE selects a first resource for transmitting a first sidelink transmission in a first slot on a first carrier. The UE derives a second resource for transmitting a PSFCH delivering a feedback in a second slot on a second carrier, wherein the second slot is at least partly overlapping with the first slot in a time domain. The UE determines whether to prioritize either the PSFCH or the first sidelink transmission based on a rule when the number of carriers which the UE identifies to transmit in the overlapped slot exceeds the first number of carriers.

The present disclosure relates to method and device for enhancing feedback channel in wireless communication. There is provided a receiving-side electronic device for a receiving side of a communication system, which includes a processing circuit configured to receive initial transmission information from a first electronic device among more than one transmitting-side electronic devices for a transmitting side of the communication system; in case that data information in the initial transmission information cannot be successfully decoded, acquire auxiliary information; and feed back the auxiliary information to the first electronic device, so that the first electronic device can perform the information retransmission by using the resources determined based on the auxiliary information.

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5.sup.th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4.sup.th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A method performed by a first terminal in a communication system is provided. The method includes transmitting data of a physical side link shared channel (PSSCH) and sidelink control information (SCI) associated with the data, and receiving, from a second terminal, a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback for the data, wherein the HARQ feedback is performed based on a distance between the first terminal and the second terminal, in case that the SCI includes location information of the first terminal.

Selecting a control channel set in a communication system involves monitoring received signals to identify a plurality of nodes of interest (NOI) and determining E.sub.b/N.sub.0 values for a plurality of control channels. For this purpose, a data metric and spectral data can be provided to the communication device by the respective NOI for which E.sub.b/N.sub.0 values are being determined. A comparison is made of the E.sub.b/N.sub.0 values for all NOI to select an optimal control channel set. The optimal control channel set is then used by the communication device to transmit the control channel information to the plurality of NOI.

The apparatus of the wireless communication may include a first wireless device configured to transmit sidelink control information (SCI) reserving periodic resources for an initial transmission and aperiodic resources for one or more retransmissions over a sidelink, transmit the initial transmission using the periodic resources, and transmit the one or more retransmissions using the aperiodic resources. The apparatus of wireless communication may also include a second wireless device may be configured to receive the SCI indicating the set of resources for the sidelink transmission from the first wireless device, determine a first resource in the set of resources is periodically reserved, and determine one or more remaining resources in the set of resources is aperiodically reserved.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A device may receive a grant that schedules a set of sidelink occasions associated with sidelink communication from the device, and that indicates a set of uplink occasions for indicating feedback associated with the sidelink communication. The device may transmit a sidelink message during a sidelink occasion of the set of sidelink occasions, and generate feedback information based on the transmitted sidelink message. The feedback information may include an acknowledgement (ACK) or a negative acknowledgment (NACK) associated with the sidelink message. The device may transmit an uplink feedback message including the feedback information during an uplink occasion of the set of uplink occasions. The feedback information may include an indication of the ACK or the NACK.

Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for facilitating relay of superpositioned sidelink and uplink transmission are disclosed herein. An example method for wireless communication at a first communication device includes receiving, from a UE, a MUST transmission including a base layer and an enhancement layer, the base layer comprising a first message for a second communication device and the enhancement layer comprising a second message for the first communication device. The example method also includes decoding the base layer of the MUST transmission to obtain the first message. Additionally, the example method includes receiving a feedback message from the second communication device indicating that the second communication device did not successfully receive the first message. The example method also includes retransmitting the first message to the second communication device in response to the feedback message from the second communication device.

A method of operating a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method includes configuring a user equipment (UE) for carrier aggregation with N serving cells, where N is a positive integer. The UE is scheduled to receive downlink data from M of the N serving cells at a first time, where M is a positive integer less than or equal to N. The UE provides uplink control information (UCI) for only the M serving cells.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a first user equipment (UE) may receive, from a second UE via a sidelink interface, a triggering signal associated with triggering hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback for a sidelink. The UE may transmit, to the second UE and based at least in part on the triggering signal, HARQ feedback associated with the second UE. Numerous other aspects are provided.
