CONFIGURABLE MINI-SLOT RETRANSMISSIONS IN SIDELINK COMMUNICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18046486 titled 'CONFIGURABLE MINI-SLOT RETRANSMISSIONS IN SIDELINK COMMUNICATIONS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications that allow a user equipment (UE) to determine a retransmission pattern within a slot based on a transport block retransmission selection scheme. The UE may be allocated sub-slots within a slot for retransmitting multiple transport blocks and may determine how to utilize a sub-slot allocated for a retransmission of a transport block that is not to be retransmitted. Unutilized sub-slots may be re-allocated to other UEs via signaling from a network entity or coordination between sidelink UEs.
- User equipment (UE) can determine retransmission patterns within a slot based on a transport block retransmission selection scheme.
- UE may be allocated sub-slots within a slot for retransmitting multiple transport blocks.
- UE can determine how to utilize a sub-slot allocated for a retransmission of a transport block that is not to be retransmitted.
- Unutilized sub-slots may be re-allocated to other UEs via signaling from a network entity or coordination between sidelink UEs.

Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for a user equipment (UE) to determine a retransmission pattern within a slot based on a transport block retransmission selection scheme. In some cases, the UE may be allocated sub-slots within a slot for retransmitting multiple transport blocks, and may determine how to utilize a sub-slot allocated for a retransmission of a transport block that is not to be retransmitted. For example, the UE may transmit a new transport block via an unutilized sub-slot, or may repeat a retransmission of a transport block via the unutilized sub-slot in addition to an allocated sub-slot. Additionally, or alternatively, unutilized sub-slots may be re-allocated to other UEs via signaling from a network entity or coordination between sidelink UEs.
