Abstract

A method by which a terminal transmits a sidelink hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback in a wireless communication system, of one embodiment, comprises the steps of: receiving a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) from another terminal; and transmitting, to a 178 base station, the sidelink HARQ feedback related to the PSFCH on the basis of a sidelink HARQ codebook, wherein the sidelink HARQ feedback is determined on the basis of the number of one or more transport blocks and the number of one or more sidelink resources for the transmission of the one or more transport blocks.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of transmitting a sidelink hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) from another UE; and
transmitting a sidelink HARQ feedback related to the PSFCH based on a sidelink HARQ codebook to a base station (BS),
wherein the sidelink HARQ feedback is determined based on the number of at least one transport block (TB) and the number of at least one sidelink resource for transmission of the at least one TB.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a type of the sidelink HARQ codebook includes a dynamic codebook, and a size of the dynamic codebook is determined based on a downlink assignment index (DAI).

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the DAI is a count of at least one physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) scheduling a sidelink signal related to the PSFCH.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a type of the sidelink HARQ codebook includes a semi-static codebook, and a size of the semi-static codebook is determined based on an offset between a slot in which the sidelink HARQ feedback is transmitted and a slot in which the PSFCH is received from the other UE.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein based on the number of the at least one TB being equal to the number of the at least one sidelink resource, an acknowledgement/negative acknowledgment (ACK/NACK) bit of the sidelink HARQ feedback is determined by sequentially combining an ACK/NACK bit for each of the at least one TB.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the same TB is transmitted in each of a first sidelink resource and a second sidelink resource following the first sidelink resource within a predetermined period, and
wherein an ACK/NACK bit for the TB transmitted in the first sidelink resource is determined based on an ACK/NACK bit for the TB transmitted in the second sidelink resource.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of TBs are transmitted in a plurality of sidelink resources within a predetermined period, and
wherein a sidelink HARQ feedback for the predetermined period has one ACK/NACK bit.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the one ACK/NACK bit is determined based on an ACK/NACK bit for a last transmitted TB within the predetermined period, for each of the plurality of TBs.

9. A user equipment (UE) configured to transmit a sidelink hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
a memory storing instructions; and
a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from another UE, a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH), and
transmitting, to a base station (BS), a sidelink HARQ feedback related to the PSFCH based on a sidelink HARQ codebook,

wherein the sidelink HARQ feedback is determined based on the number of at least one transport block (TB) and the number of at least one sidelink resource for transmission of the at least one TB.

10. The UE according to claim 9 , wherein a type of the sidelink HARQ codebook includes a dynamic codebook, and a size of the dynamic codebook is determined based on a downlink assignment index (DAI), and
wherein the DAI is a count of at least one physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) scheduling a sidelink signal related to the PSFCH.

11. The UE according to claim 9 , wherein a type of the sidelink HARQ codebook includes a semi-static codebook, and a size of the semi-static codebook is determined based on an offset between a slot in which the sidelink HARQ feedback is transmitted and a slot in which the PSFCH is received from the other UE.

12. The UE according to claim 9 , wherein based on the number of the at least one TB being equal to the number of the at least one sidelink resource, an acknowledgement/negative acknowledgment (ACK/NACK) bit of the sidelink HARQ feedback is determined by sequentially combining an ACK/NACK bit for each of the at least one TB.

13. The UE according to claim 9 , wherein the same TB is transmitted in each of a first sidelink resource and a second sidelink resource following the first sidelink resource within a predetermined period, and
wherein an ACK/NACK bit for the TB transmitted in the first sidelink resource is determined based on an ACK/NACK bit for the TB transmitted in the second sidelink resource.

14. The UE according to claim 9 , wherein the UE is an autonomous driving vehicle or is included in an autonomous driving vehicle.
