AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Conventional Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) mechanisms fail to meet the high data transmission performance requirements in Sidelink (SL) scenarios, particularly when using unlicensed spectrum, as they incur excessive signaling overhead due to separate feedback for each transport block (TB).

Method used

A data transmission method that reduces HARQ signaling overhead by optimizing feedback information based on interlacing parameters, allowing the receiver device to send feedback for multiple TBs within an interlace, determined by upper limits and interlacing parameters, thereby improving communication reliability and efficiency.

Benefits of technology

The method enhances data transmission performance in SL scenarios by reducing signaling overhead and ensuring reliable feedback, thus improving communication efficiency and bandwidth utilization.
