Solution Overview

Problem

In wireless communication systems, especially in sidelink (SL) communication, there is a need to efficiently manage the priority and transmission of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback information, particularly when SL transmission is not performed.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for a first device to receive information related to a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource and a sidelink (SL) resource from a base station, generate HARQ feedback information based on non-performance of SL transmission, and determine a priority value for the HARQ feedback information, which is the same as the largest priority value associated with the SL resource.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If HARQ feedback information is transmitted when SL transmission is not performed, then communication reliability is improved, but transmission priority management becomes complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoidtransmission priority management
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by establishing a correspondence relationship between SL resource priority values and PUCCH feedback priority values. When SL transmission is not performed, the HARQ feedback information is assigned the same priority value as the largest priority value associated with the SL resource, simplifying priority management while ensuring reliable communication.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If priority values are assigned based on SL resource association, then transmission efficiency is improved, but feedback reporting complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission efficiencyVSAvoidfeedback reporting complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies self-service by enabling the first device to automatically determine the priority value of HARQ feedback information based on pre-configured SL resource priority values. The device autonomously assigns the appropriate priority without requiring complex manual configuration or network intervention, thereby improving transmission efficiency while managing reporting complexity through automated rules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A method for performing wireless communication by a first device, and a device for supporting same are provided. The method may comprise: receiving, from a base station, information related to a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource for reporting hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback information and information related to a first sidelink (SL) resource; generating the HARQ feedback information based on first SL transmission being not performed on the first SL resource by the first device; and determining a priority value of the HARQ feedback information, wherein the priority value of the HARQ feedback information is a same as a largest priority value among at least one priority value related to the first SL resource.
