NETWORK CODING SIDELINK DATA TRANSMISSION

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station and user equipment (UE) may support network coded communications on a sidelink connection. The base station may configure UEs with network coding configurations. The network coding configuration may include one or more sets of network coding parameters. The base station may configure a first UE to send network coded information on the sidelink to a second UE. The network coded information may be generated based on data packets which were unsuccessfully decoded by the second UE. By transmitting network coded information on a sidelink, the second UE may efficiently obtain data packets which were unsuccessfully decoded from the base station.
