Abstract
A method for sidelink data retransmission can include receiving a first negative acknowledgement (NACK) at a base station (BS) from a receiver user equipment (Rx UE). The NACK corresponds to an original transmission of sidelink data over a sidelink from a transmitter user equipment (Tx UE). The method can further include selecting one or both of the BS and the Tx UE to perform a first retransmission of the sidelink data to the Rx UE. A method of sidelink synchronization can include selecting at a UE a timing reference with a highest priority among available sidelink synchronization timing references according to a rule indicating timing references listed from high priority to low priority: gNB or eNB; UE directly synchronized to gNB or eNB; UE in directly synchronized to gNB or eNB; GNSS; UE directly synchronized to GNSS; UE indirectly synchronized to GNSS; and remaining UEs.
