Abstract

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for performing sidelink communication is provided. The method may include performing initial transmission to a second apparatus, performing at least one of first retransmission to the second apparatus, receiving HARQ NACK related to the initial transmission and the at least one of first retransmission from the second apparatus, and performing at least one of second retransmission to the second apparatus.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for performing wireless communication by a first apparatus, the method comprising:
determining distance between the first apparatus and a second apparatus;
performing an initial transmission to the second apparatus;
performing at least one first retransmission related to the initial transmission to the second apparatus;
receiving hybrid automatic repeat request negative acknowledgement (HARQ NACK) related to the initial transmission or the at least one of first retransmission from the second apparatus; and
performing at least one second retransmission to the second apparatus based on the reception of the HARQ NACK,
wherein a number of the at least one first retransmission and a number of the at least one second retransmission are determined based on mapping information between the distance and a number of retransmissions, and
wherein the mapping information includes information related to the number of retransmissions mapped for each distance interval less than or equal to minimum communication range.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a maximum number of the at least one first retransmission and a maximum number of the at least one second retransmission are determined based on the distance exceeding the minimum communication range.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the number of retransmissions mapped for each distance interval is pre-configured in the first apparatus.

4. The method of claim 1 , further including:
determining at least one of reference signal received power (RSRP) for channel state information—reference signal (CSI-RS) or the RSRP for synchronization signal block (SSB),
wherein the number of the at least one first retransmission and the number of the at least one second retransmission are determined based on (i) the at least one of the RSRP for the CSI-RS or the RSRP for the SSB, and (ii) the mapping information, and
wherein the mapping information includes information related to a number of retransmissions mapped for each at least one of RSRP interval for CSI-RS or RSRP interval for SSB less than or equal to a threshold.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein a maximum number of the at least one first retransmission and a maximum number of the at least one second retransmission are determined based on the at least one of the RSRP for the CSI-RS or the RSRP for the SSB exceeding the threshold.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the number of retransmissions mapped for each at least one of the RSRP intervals for the CSI-RS or the RSRP interval for the SSB is pre-configured in the first apparatus.

7. The method of claim 4 , wherein based on the at least one of the RSRP for the CSI-RS or the RSRP for the SSB being unavailable, the number of the at least one first retransmission and the number of the at least one second retransmission are determined as a default number of retransmissions.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein based on the distance being unavailable, the number of the at least one first retransmission and the number of the at least one second retransmission are determined as a default number of retransmissions.

9. A processing device adapted to control a first apparatus to perform wireless communication, the processing device comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory connected to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
determining distance between the first apparatus and a second apparatus;
performing an initial transmission to the second apparatus;
performing at least one first retransmission related to the initial transmission to the second apparatus;
receiving hybrid automatic repeat request negative acknowledgement (HARQ NACK) related to the initial transmission or the at least one of first retransmission from the second apparatus; and
performing at least one second retransmission to the second apparatus based on the reception of the HARQ NACK,
wherein a number of the at least one first retransmission and a number of the at least one second retransmission are determined based on mapping information between the distance and a number of retransmissions, and
wherein the mapping information includes information related to the number of retransmissions mapped for each distance interval less than or equal to minimum communication range.

10. A first apparatus adapted to perform wireless communication, the first apparatus comprising:
at least one transceiver;
at least one processor; and
at least one memory connected to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
determining distance between the first apparatus and a second apparatus;
performing initial transmission to the second apparatus;
performing at least one first retransmission related to the initial transmission to the second apparatus;
receiving hybrid automatic repeat request negative acknowledgement (HARQ NACK) related to the initial transmission or the at least one of first retransmission from the second apparatus; and
performing at least one second retransmission to the second apparatus based on the reception of the HARQ NACK,
wherein a number of the at least one first retransmission and a number of the at least one second retransmission are determined based on mapping information between the distance and a number of retransmissions, and
wherein the mapping information includes information related to the number of retransmissions mapped for each distance interval less than or equal to minimum communication range.
