Patent ID: 11876747

Abstract:
Devices and methods are disclosed for a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) design in new radio (NR). A wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) for sidelink communication may receive a resource pool identity (ID). Further, the WTRU may determine whether to include information related to demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) density for a sidelink transmission in sidelink control information (SCI) based on the resource pool ID. On a condition that the information related to DM-RS density is to be included in the SCI, the WTRU may transmit the SCI including the information related to DM-RS density. Also, the SCI may be associated with a PSSCH. Accordingly, the WTRU may transmit the sidelink transmission on the PSSCH with one or more DM-RSs at a first DM-RS density based on the information related to DM-RS density.
