    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques related to performing wireless sidelink communication. Originating (e.g., transmitting) and target (e.g., receiving) apparatuses may operate in a NACK-only mode. In this mode, the target apparatus only provides NACK feedbacks to transmissions that it did not receive. Lack of NACK feedback is interpreted by the originating apparatus that the transmissions were successfully received. However, the target apparatus maybe incapable of transmitting NACK for each of missed transmission. In NACK-only mode, the originating would not retransmit these missed transmissions. To address this issue, the target apparatus can transmit a multi-transmission NACK feedback to indicate that multiple transmissions were not successfully received. The multi-transmission NACK is a single feedback, and thus can enable a target apparatus with limited feedback capacity to indicate NACK for multiple transmissions.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE). The method generally includes taking received signal power measurements on a first transmitter receiver point (TRP) of the UE and a second TRP of the UE, determining resources to exclude from a pool of resources for sidelink transmissions based on the received signal power measurements taken on the first and second TRPs, selecting resources from the pool of resources for sidelink communications based at least in part on the determination of resources to exclude, and transmitting on the sidelink, on one or more of the first and second TRPs, using the selected resources.

    Abstract: Transmit and receive wireless communication devices configured to independently determine the same transport block size (TBS) for use with sidelink communications. In an illustrative example, a transmitting device includes a transceiver; a memory; and a processor, with the processor configured to generate or obtain a Physical Sidelink Feedback Channel (PSFCH) overhead indicator indicating whether PSFCH overhead is used in determining the TBS. The processor also determines a number of demodulation reference signal (DMRS) resource elements (REs) associated with DMRS overhead for use in the TBS determination. The processor determines the TBS based on the number of DMRS REs and on the PSFCH overhead indicator, and then transmits signals to a receiving device using sidelink wireless communication that include a PSFCH overhead indicator. The signals are transmitted according to the determined TBS. The PSFCH overhead indicator indicates whether PSFCH overhead is to be used by the receiving device for TBS determination.

    Abstract: A method of wireless communication by a transmitting sidelink user equipment (UE) determines at least one quasi-co-location (QCL) relationship between antenna ports of the transmitting sidelink UE. The QCL relationship corresponds to carrier frequency offset (CFO), average delay, delay spread, Doppler shift, and/or Doppler spread across the antenna ports of the transmitting sidelink UE. Each port maps to a different transmission and reception point (TRP). The method also indicates the QCL relationship(s) to a receiving sidelink UE. A method of wireless communication by a receiving sidelink UE receives a message from TRPs of a transmitting sidelink UE. The message indicates a QCL assumption for the TRPs. The method also individually measures reference signals received from each transmission port of the TRPs. The method may also determine whether signaling from the TRPs satisfies all conditions for the QCL assumption, and report to the transmitting sidelink UE a result of the determining.

    Abstract: Using a modulation and coding scheme for a control channel that is more conservative than needed to fulfill the control function may waste resources. To address this issue, a variable size control channel is provided. An apparatus in such a system may be configured to determine an aggregation level of a plurality of aggregation levels associated with a control channel. Each aggregation level of the plurality of aggregation levels is associated with a number of time-frequency resources dedicated for the control channel and a particular modulation and coding scheme used for modulating and coding control information in the control channel. The apparatus is configured to receive control information in the time-frequency resources associated with the aggregation level and decode the control information received in the time-frequency resources associated with the determined aggregation level. The decoding is based on the particular modulation and coding scheme associated with the determined aggregation level.
