Methods and devices for wireless communication

Abstract

The patent describes methods, systems, machines, and devices for wireless communication, in which multiple devices can implement link-based communication to exchange information directly between devices. Such devices (e.g., user equipment - UE) can be configured with resources for link-based communication. The base station can monitor and determine whether one or more sidelink communications are prioritized based on the SPI. Sidelink communications may include feedback communications transmitted using sidelink feedback resources. Based on the received SP1 information, it is possible to determine whether a sidelink feedback flag is being used. Sublink responses can be transmitted to one or more other sublink devices, or to the origin, and the priority of sublink responses can be determined based on one or more parameters associated with the sublink communication, associated with the SPI, or any combination thereof.
