The physical-layer model for Sidelink Shared Channel transmission is described based on the corresponding SL-SCH physical-layer-processing chain, see
Figure 5.3.1-1. Processing steps that are relevant for the physical-layer model, e.g. in the sense that they are configurable by higher layers, are highlighted in blue.
-
Higher-layer data passed to/from the physical layer;

CRC and transport-block-error indication;
-
FEC and rate matching;

Support of L1 control and Hybrid-ARQ-related signalling.
The physical-layer model for Sidelink Broadcast Channel transmission is characterized by a fixed pre-defined transport format. There is one transport block for every slot in which the UE transmits SL-BCH, if the UE is configured to transmit on SL-BCH. The SL-BCH physical-layer model is described based on the corresponding SL-BCH physical-layer-processing chain, see
Figure 5.3.2-1:
