Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A first user equipment (UE), comprising:
memory; and
one or more processors coupled to the memory, wherein the memory and the one or more processors are configured to:
receive a data transmission from a second UE, the data transmission being associated with a distance-based feedback procedure for data transmissions, wherein the first UE cannot successfully decode the data transmission, and wherein the first UE cannot determine a distance between the first UE and the second UE;
determine whether one or more criteria are satisfied for sending, to the second UE, a negative acknowledgement (NACK) for the data transmission as part of the distance-based feedback procedure, the NACK indicating the first UE could not successfully decode the data transmission;
transmit up to a first number of feedbacks during a time interval, wherein the one or more criteria comprise whether the first UE has available capacity to transmit the NACK during the time interval based on the first number of feedbacks, a second number of feedbacks the first UE has for transmission during the time interval based on the distance-based feedback procedure, and a third number of feedbacks the first UE has for transmission during the time interval based on a non-distance-based feedback procedure; and
transmit the NACK to the second UE during the time interval when the one or more criteria are satisfied.
