Sidelink collision avoidance, HARQ feedback, and CSI acquisition

A computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions for execution by one or more processors of a user equipment (UE). configure the UE for NR communication. The instructions cause the UE to decode sidelink control information (SCI). The SCI includes scheduling information and priority information. The scheduling information indicates time resource assignment and frequency resource assignment for sidelink data communications using a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH). The instructions further cause the UE to detect that a transmission (Tx) of a first set of physical sidelink feedback channels (PSFCHs) would overlap in time with a reception (Rx) of a second set of PSFCHs. The first and second sets of PSFCHs include sidelink feedback control information for the sidelink data communications. The instructions further cause transmission of at least one PSFCH from the first set of PSFCHs or the second set of PSFCHs based on the priority information.

Contention window management for group listen before talk based channel access

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may identify a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure to use for transmitting a downlink signal to a user equipment (UE) on a shared radio frequency spectrum band. The LBT procedure may be a group LBT procedure associated with a first set of contention window durations or an individual listen-before talk procedure associated with a second set of contention window durations. The base station may determine a contention window duration corresponding to the identified LBT procedure, perform the identified LBT procedure using the determined contention window duration, and transmit the downlink signal to the UE based on the performed LBT procedure.

Delaying transmission depending on transmission type and UE processing capabilities

Embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a radio network node for handling transmission of data from a wireless device in a wireless communication network.
