Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the feedback transmission into multiple physical channels (PUCCH, PUSCH, and physical sidelink feedback channel) with distinct functions and characteristics. Each channel is optimized for specific scenarios, allowing the system to achieve high reliability through channel diversity while managing complexity by assigning specialized roles to each channel type rather than using a single complex mechanism for all scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic selection of modulation and coding schemes (MCS) based on transmission requirements and radio conditions. The system can adaptively choose between different channels and modulation types (QAM schemes) depending on the current state, allowing it to maintain high reliability under varying conditions while avoiding the need to implement all complex mechanisms simultaneously in every transmission.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs feedback mechanisms where channel state information (CSI) is continuously monitored and used to adjust modulation and coding schemes. The system receives feedback about radio conditions and transmission performance, then dynamically adapts the MCS selection accordingly. This closed-loop approach improves transmission efficiency by optimizing parameters based on actual conditions while managing complexity through systematic feedback processing rather than exhaustive search.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent dynamically changes key transmission parameters including modulation order, coding rate, and resource allocation based on measured radio conditions and transmission requirements. By systematically adjusting these parameters according to established criteria and feedback, the system achieves high transmission efficiency without requiring complex ad-hoc decision-making, as the parameter changes follow defined rules and protocols.

AI summary

A wireless device receives one or more configuration parameters including a plurality of sidelink feedback resources, where at least two sidelink feedback resources, of the plurality of sidelink feedback resources, are associated with different values for received signal power, and each of the at least two sidelink feedback resources are at least one of a time resource or a frequency resource. The wireless device selects, based on a received signal power of the different values for the received signal power, a sidelink feedback resource from the at least two sidelink feedback resources. The wireless device transmits a sidelink feedback signal, to a second wireless device, via the sidelink feedback resource.
