Proposed is an operation method of a first device (100) in a wireless communication system. The method may comprise the steps of: receiving a configured grant from a base station (300); obtaining a first HARQ process identifier (ID) related to a first period of the configured grant; transmitting, to a second device (200), a first PSSCH, on the basis of a first resource included in the first period; obtaining a second HARQ process ID related to a second period of the configured grant; and transmitting, to the second device (200), a second PSSCH, on the basis of a second resource included in the second period.

A method performed by a user equipment (UE) for maintaining uplink (UL) synchronization in a non-terrestrial network (NTN) is provided. The method includes receiving, from a base station (BS), a system information block (SIB) indicating a duration of a timer for the UL synchronization in the NTN; determining whether an epoch time is provided in the SIB; starting or restarting the timer with the duration at a time determined according to whether the epoch time is provided in the SIB; and determining that the UE has lost the UL synchronization upon an expiration of the timer.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a transmitter device may transmit, to a receiver device, an initial message associated with a communication using a first code rate. The transmitter device may receive, from the receiver device, first feedback information indicating that the communication was not successfully decoded by the receiver device. The transmitter device may transmit, to the receiver device based at least in part on the reception of the first feedback information, one or more retransmissions associated with the communication including a first retransmission, wherein the first retransmission includes a first number of bits to lower an effective code rate of the communication to a second code rate. The transmitter device may receive, from the receiver device, second feedback information indicating that the communication was successfully decoded by the receiver device. Numerous other aspects are described.
