Each of the one or more response signals represents at least one of (a) a respective indication based on a measurement at a respective receiving UE, of the one or more receiving UEs, transmitting the each response signal and (b) a respective acknowledgment from the respective receiving UE associated with the data. The transmitting UE determines a transmission power at the transmitting UE based on the respective indications. The transmitting UE transmits data to the one or more receiving UEs at the transmission power. | 2020-10-08 |
