Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to wireless communication systems. Background Art

[0002] Sidelink (SL) communication is a communication scheme in which a direct link is established between user equipments (UEs) and the UEs directly exchange voice and data with each other without intervention of an evolved Node B (eNB). SL communication is being considered as a solution to eNB overhead caused by the rapid growth of data traffic.

[0003] V2X (Vehicle to Everything) refers to the communication technology used by vehicles to exchange information with other vehicles, pedestrians, and objects equipped with infrastructure. V2X can be divided into four types such as V2V (Vehicle to Vehicle), V2I (Vehicle to Infrastructure), V2N (Vehicle to Network), and V2P (Vehicle to Pedestrian). V2X communication can be provided through the PC5 interface and / or the Uu interface.

[0004] In addition, as more and more communication devices require larger communication capacity, mobile broadband communication enhanced relative to the traditional radio access technology (RAT) is required. Therefore, the design of communication systems taking into account UEs or services that are sensitive to reliability and latency has also been discussed, and the next generation radio access technology taking into account enhanced mobile broadband communication, massive MTC, and ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC) can be referred to as a new RAT (radio access technology) or NR (new radio).

[0005] Figure 1 is a diagram for describing NR-based V2X communication compared to V2X communication based on RAT used before NR. Figure 1 The embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0006] Regarding V2X communication, when discussing the RAT used before NR, the focus is on the scheme of providing safety services based on V2X messages such as BSM (Basic Safety Message), CAM (Cooperative Awareness Message) and DENM (Decentralized Environment Notification Message). V2X messages may include location information, dynamic information, attribute information, etc. For example, a UE may send a periodic message type CAM and / or an event-triggered message type DENM to another UE.

[0007] For example, CAM may include dynamic state information of the vehicle such as direction and speed, static data of the vehicle such as size, and basic vehicle information such as external lighting status, route details, etc. For example, UE may broadcast CAM, and the latency of CAM may be less than 100ms. For example, UE may generate DENM and send it to another UE in an unexpected situation such as vehicle failure, accident, etc. For example, all vehicles within the transmission range of UE can receive CAM and / or DENM. In this case, DENM may have a higher priority than CAM.

[0008] Since then, various V2X scenarios have been proposed in NR regarding V2X communication. For example, these various V2X scenarios may include vehicle platooning, advanced driving, extended sensors, remote driving, etc.

[0009] For example, based on vehicle platooning, vehicles can move together by dynamically forming groups. For example, in order to perform platooning operations based on vehicle platooning, vehicles belonging to the group can receive periodic data from the lead vehicle. For example, vehicles belonging to the group can reduce or increase the interval between vehicles by using the periodic data.

[0010] For example, based on advanced driving, the vehicles can be semi-autonomous or fully autonomous. For example, each vehicle can adjust trajectory or maneuver based on data obtained from local sensors of nearby vehicles and / or nearby logical entities. In addition, for example, each vehicle can share driving intentions with nearby vehicles.

[0011] For example, based on the extended sensors, raw data, processed data or real-time video data obtained by local sensors can be exchanged between the vehicle, the logical entity, the pedestrian UE and / or the V2X application server, so that, for example, the vehicle can recognize a further improved environment compared to the environment detected using its own sensors.

[0012] For example, based on remote driving, for a person or remote vehicle that cannot drive in a dangerous environment, a remote driver or V2X application can operate or control the remote vehicle. For example, if the route is predictable (such as public transportation), cloud computing-based driving can be used for the operation or control of the remote vehicle. In addition, for example, access to a cloud-based backend service platform can be considered for remote driving.

[0013] In addition, schemes for specifying service requirements for various V2X scenarios such as vehicle platooning, advanced driving, extended sensors, remote driving, etc. are discussed in NR-based V2X communications. Summary of the invention

[0055] The technical features described in each of the drawings in this specification may be implemented separately or simultaneously.

[0056] The techniques described below can be used in various wireless communication systems such as code division multiple access (CDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA), single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA), etc. CDMA can be implemented using radio technologies such as Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (UTRA) or CDMA-2000. TDMA can be implemented using radio technologies such as Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) / General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) / Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE). OFDMA can be implemented using radio technologies such as Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 (Wi-Fi), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX), IEEE 802.20, Evolved UTRA (E-UTRA), etc. IEEE 802.16m is an evolved version of IEEE 802.16e and provides backward compatibility for systems based on IEEE 802.16e. UTRA is part of Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS). 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long Term Evolution (LTE) is a part of Evolved UMTS (E-UMTS) using E-UTRA. 3GPP LTE uses OFDMA in the downlink and SC-FDMA in the uplink. LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) is an evolution of LTE.

[0057] 5G NR is a subsequent technology of LTE-A corresponding to a new mobile communication system with high performance, low latency, high availability, etc. 5G NR can use all available spectrum resources including low frequency bands less than 1 GHz, intermediate frequency bands from 1 GHz to 10 GHz, and high frequency (millimeter wave) above 24 GHz.

[0058] For the sake of clarity, the following description will mainly focus on LTE-A or 5G NR. However, the technical features of the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.

[0059] Figure 2 The structure of the NR system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 2 The embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0060] Reference Figure 2 , the next generation radio access network (NG-RAN) may include a BS 20 that provides user plane and control plane protocol terminations to the UE 10. For example, the BS 20 may include a next generation Node B (gNB) and / or an evolved Node B (eNB). For example, the UE 10 may be fixed or mobile and may be referred to as other terms such as a mobile station (MS), a user terminal (UT), a subscriber station (SS), a mobile terminal (MT), a wireless device, etc. For example, the BS may be referred to as a fixed station that communicates with the UE 10 and may be referred to as other terms such as a base transceiver system (BTS), an access point (AP), etc.

[0061] Figure 2 The embodiment of the present invention illustrates a case where only gNB is included. The BSs 20 may be connected to each other via an Xn interface. The BSs 20 may be connected to each other via a fifth generation (5G) core network (5GC) and an NG interface. More specifically, the BSs 20 may be connected to an access and mobility management function (AMF) 30 via an NG-C interface, and may be connected to a user plane function (UPF) 30 via an NG-U interface.

[0062] Figure 3 The functional division between NG-RAN and 5GC according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0063] Reference Figure 3, gNB can provide functions such as inter-cell radio resource management (inter-cell RRM), radio bearer (RB) control, connection mobility control, radio admission control, measurement configuration and provision, dynamic resource allocation, etc. AMF can provide functions such as non-access stratum (NAS) security, idle state mobility processing, etc. UPF can provide functions such as mobility anchoring, protocol data unit (PDU) processing, etc. Session management function (SMF) can provide functions such as user equipment (UE) Internet protocol (IP) address allocation, PDU session control, etc.

[0064] The radio interface protocol layer between the UE and the network can be classified into the first layer (L1), the second layer (L2), and the third layer (L3) based on the lower three layers of the open system interconnection (OSI) model known in the communication system. Here, the physical (PHY) layer belonging to the first layer provides an information transmission service using a physical channel, and the radio resource control (RRC) layer located at the third layer controls radio resources between the UE and the network. To this end, the RRC layer exchanges RRC messages between the UE and the BS layer.

[0065] Figure 4a and Figure 4b A radio protocol architecture according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 4a and Figure 4b The embodiments of can be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure. Specifically, Figure 4a shows the radio protocol architecture for the user plane, and Figure 4b The radio protocol architecture for the control plane is shown. The user plane corresponds to a protocol stack for user data transmission, and the control plane corresponds to a protocol stack for control signal transmission.

[0066] Reference Figure 4a and Figure 4b , the physical layer provides information transfer services to the upper layer through a physical channel. The physical layer is connected to the medium access control (MAC) layer, which is the upper layer of the physical layer, through a transport channel. Data is transferred between the MAC layer and the physical layer through the transport channel. Transport channels are classified according to how data is sent through the radio interface and what characteristics the data has to be sent through the radio interface.

[0067] Data is transmitted through a physical channel between different PHY layers (ie, a PHY layer of a transmitter and a PHY layer of a receiver). The physical channel may be modulated using an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) scheme, and uses time and frequency as radio resources.

[0068] The MAC layer provides services to the Radio Link Control (RLC) layer via logical channels, and the RLC layer is a higher layer of the MAC layer. The MAC layer provides a function of mapping multiple logical channels to multiple transport channels. The MAC layer also provides a function of logical channel multiplexing by mapping multiple logical channels to a single transport channel. The MAC layer provides data transmission services through logical channels.

[0069] The RLC layer performs concatenation, segmentation, and reassembly of Radio Link Control Service Data Units (RLC SDUs). In order to ensure different Quality of Service (QoS) required by Radio Bearers (RBs), the RLC layer provides three types of operation modes, namely, Transparent Mode (TM), Unacknowledged Mode (UM), and Acknowledged Mode (AM). AM RLC provides error correction through Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ).

[0070] The Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer is defined only in the control plane. And, the RRC layer performs the function of controlling physical channels, transport channels, and logical channels related to configuration, reconfiguration, and release of radio bearers. RB refers to a logical path provided by the first layer (i.e., the PHY layer) and the second layer (i.e., the MAC layer, the RLC layer, and the PDCP layer) to transmit data between the UE and the network.

[0071] The functions of the Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) in the user plane include transmission, header compression and encryption of user data. The functions of the Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) in the control plane include transmission and encryption / integrity protection of control plane data.

[0072] The Service Data Adaptation Protocol (SDAP) layer is defined only in the user plane. The SDAP layer performs mapping between Quality of Service (QoS) flows and Data Radio Bearers (DRBs) and QoS Flow ID (QFI) marking in both DL and UL packets.

[0073] Configuration of RB refers to the process for specifying radio protocol layers and channel attributes to provide a specific service and for determining corresponding detailed parameters and operation methods. RB can then be classified into two types, namely, signaling radio bearer (SRB) and data radio bearer (DRB). SRB is used as a path for sending RRC messages in the control plane, and DRB is used as a path for sending user data in the user plane.

[0074] When the RRC connection is established between the RRC layer of the UE and the RRC layer of the E-UTRAN, the UE is in the RRC connected (RRC_CONNECTED) state, otherwise the UE can be in the RRC idle (RRC_IDLE) state. In the case of NR, the RRC inactive (RRC_INACTIVE) state is additionally defined, and the UE in the RRC_INACTIVE state can maintain the connection with the core network and release its connection with the BS.

[0075] The downlink transmission channels for sending (or transmitting) data from the network to the UE include a broadcast channel (BCH) for sending system information and a downlink shared channel (SCH) for sending other user services or control messages. The services or control messages of downlink multicast or broadcast services can be sent via the downlink SCH or can be sent via a separate downlink multicast channel (MCH). In addition, the uplink transmission channels for sending (or transmitting) data from the UE to the network include a random access channel (RACH) for sending initial control messages and an uplink shared channel (SCH) for sending other user services or control messages.

[0076] Examples of logical channels belonging to a higher layer of a transport channel and mapped to a transport channel may include a broadcast control channel (BCCH), a paging control channel (PCCH), a common control channel (CCCH), a multicast control channel (MCCH), a multicast traffic channel (MTCH), etc.

[0077] The physical channel is configured by multiple OFDM symbols in the time domain and multiple subcarriers in the frequency domain. A subframe is configured by multiple OFDM symbols in the time domain. A resource block is configured by multiple subcarriers and multiple OFDM symbols in a resource allocation unit. In addition, each subframe can use a specific subcarrier of a specific OFDM symbol (e.g., the first OFDM symbol) of the corresponding subframe of the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), i.e., the L1 / L2 control channel. The transmission time interval (TTI) refers to the unit time of subframe transmission.

[0078] Figure 5 The structure of the NR system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 5 The embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0079] Reference Figure 5In NR, a radio frame can be used to perform uplink and downlink transmissions. The length of a radio frame is 10ms and can be defined as consisting of two half frames (HF). A half frame can include five 1ms subframes (SF). A subframe (SF) can be divided into one or more time slots, and the number of time slots within a subframe can be determined according to the subcarrier spacing (SCS). Each time slot can include 12 or 14 OFDM (A) symbols depending on the cyclic prefix (CP).

[0080] When a normal CP is used, each time slot may include 14 symbols. When an extended CP is used, each time slot may include 12 symbols. Herein, a symbol may include an OFDM symbol (or a CP-OFDM symbol) and a single carrier-FDMA (SC-FDMA) symbol (or a discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM) symbol).

[0081] The following table 1 shows the number of time slots (N) of each symbol according to the SCS setting (u) when the normal CP is adopted. slot symb ), the number of time slots per frame (N frame,u slot ) and the number of time slots per subframe (N subframe,u slot ).

[0082] [Table 1]

[0083] <![CDATA[SCS(15*2 u )]]> <![CDATA[N slot symb ]]> <![CDATA[N frame,u slot ]]> <![CDATA[N subframe,u slot ]]> 15KHz(u=0) 14 10 1 30KHz(u=1) 14 20 2 60KHz(u=2) 14 40 4 120KHz(u=3) 14 80 8 240KHz(u=4) 14 160 16

[0084] Table 2 shows an example of the number of symbols per slot, the number of slots per frame, and the number of slots per subframe according to the SCS in the case of using the extended CP.

[0085] [Table 2]

[0086] <![CDATA[SCS(15*2 u )]]> <![CDATA[N slot symb ]]> <![CDATA[N frame,u slot ]]> <![CDATA[N subframe,u slot ]]> 60KHz(u=2) 12 40 4

[0087] In the NR system, OFDM (A) parameter sets (e.g., SCS, CP length, etc.) between multiple cells integrated into one UE may be configured differently. Therefore, the (absolute time) duration (or interval) of a time resource (e.g., a subframe, a time slot, or a TTI) (collectively referred to as a time unit (TU) for simplicity) consisting of the same number of symbols may be configured differently in the integrated cells.

[0088] In NR, multiple parameter sets or SCSs can be supported to support various 5G services. For example, with an SCS of 15kHz, a wide range of traditional cellular bands can be supported, and with an SCS of 30kHz / 60kHz, dense cities, lower latency, and wider carrier bandwidths can be supported. With an SCS of 60kHz or higher, bandwidths greater than 24.25GHz can be used to overcome phase noise.

[0089] The NR frequency band may be defined as two different types of frequency ranges. The two different types of frequency ranges may be FR1 and FR2. The values ​​of the frequency ranges may be changed (or varied), for example, the two different types of frequency ranges may be as shown in Table 3 below. Among the frequency ranges used in the NR system, FR1 may mean "a range below 6 GHz", and FR2 may mean "a range above 6 GHz", and may also be referred to as millimeter wave (mmW).

[0090] [Table 3]

[0091] Frequency range specification Corresponding frequency range Subcarrier Spacing (SCS) FR1 450MHz–6000MHz 15, 30, 60kHz FR2 24250MHz–52600MHz 60, 120, 240kHz

[0092] As described above, the value of the frequency range in the NR system may be changed (or varied). For example, as shown in Table 4 below, FR1 may include a bandwidth in the range of 410 MHz to 7125 MHz. More specifically, FR1 may include frequency bands of 6 GHz (or 5850, 5900, 5925 MHz, etc.) and higher. For example, the frequency bands of 6 GHz (or 5850, 5900, 5925 MHz, etc.) and higher included in FR1 may include unlicensed frequency bands. Unlicensed frequency bands may be used for various purposes, for example, unlicensed frequency bands are used for vehicle-specific communications (e.g., autonomous driving).

[0093] [Table 4]

[0094] Frequency range specification Corresponding frequency range Subcarrier Spacing (SCS) FR1 410MHz–7125MHz 15, 30, 60kHz FR2 24250MHz–52600MHz 60, 120, 240kHz

[0095] Figure 6 The structure of the time slot of the NR frame according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0096] Reference Figure 6 , a time slot includes multiple symbols in the time domain. For example, in the case of normal CP, one time slot may include 14 symbols. For example, in the case of extended CP, one time slot may include 12 symbols. Alternatively, in the case of normal CP, one time slot may include 7 symbols. However, in the case of extended CP, one time slot may include 6 symbols.

[0097] A carrier includes multiple subcarriers in the frequency domain. A resource block (RB) can be defined as multiple consecutive subcarriers in the frequency domain (e.g., 12 subcarriers). A bandwidth part (BWP) can be defined as multiple consecutive (physical) resource blocks ((P)RBs) in the frequency domain, and a BWP can correspond to a parameter set (e.g., SCS, CP length, etc.). A carrier can include up to N BWPs (e.g., 5 BWPs). Data communication can be performed via an activated BWP. Each element can be referred to as a resource element (RE) in a resource grid, and a complex symbol can be mapped to each element.

[0098] In addition, the radio interface between a UE and another UE or the radio interface between a UE and a network may include an L1 layer, an L2 layer, and an L3 layer. In various embodiments of the present disclosure, the L1 layer may refer to a physical layer. In addition, for example, the L2 layer may refer to at least one of a MAC layer, an RLC layer, a PDCP layer, and an SDAP layer. In addition, for example, the L3 layer may refer to an RRC layer.

[0099] Hereinafter, the bandwidth part (BWP) and the carrier will be described in detail.

[0100] A BWP may be a contiguous set of physical resource blocks (PRBs) within a given parameter set. A PRB may be selected from a contiguous set of common resource blocks (CRBs) for a given parameter set on a given carrier.

[0101] When bandwidth adaptation (BA) is used, the reception bandwidth and transmission bandwidth of the user equipment (UE) are not required to be as wide (or large) as the bandwidth of the cell, and the reception bandwidth and transmission bandwidth of the UE can be controlled (or adjusted). For example, the UE can receive information / configuration for bandwidth control (or adjustment) from the network / base station. In this case, bandwidth control (or adjustment) can be performed based on the received information / configuration. For example, bandwidth control (or adjustment) can include a reduction / expansion of bandwidth, a change in the position of bandwidth, or a change in the subcarrier spacing of bandwidth.

[0102] For example, the bandwidth can be reduced during a duration with little activity in order to save power. For example, the location of the bandwidth can be relocated (or moved) from the frequency domain. For example, the location of the bandwidth can be relocated (or moved) from the frequency domain to enhance scheduling flexibility. For example, the subcarrier spacing of the bandwidth can be changed. For example, the subcarrier spacing of the bandwidth can be changed to authorize different services. A subset of the total cell bandwidth of a cell can be referred to as a bandwidth part (BWP). BA can be performed when the base station / network configures a BWP for the UE and when the base station / network notifies the UE of the BWP that is currently activated among the BWPs.

[0103] For example, the BWP may be one of an activated BWP, an initial BWP, and / or a default BWP. For example, the UE cannot monitor the downlink radio link quality in a DL BWP other than an activated DL BWP within a primary cell (PCell). For example, the UE cannot receive PDCCH, PDSCH, or CSI-RS (except RRM) from outside an activated DL BWP. For example, the UE cannot trigger a channel state information (CSI) report for an unactivated DL BWP. For example, the UE cannot send a PUCCH or PUSCH from outside an unactivated DL BWP. For example, in the case of a downlink, the initial BWP may be given as a continuous RB set for an RMSI CORESET (configured by the PBCH). For example, in the case of an uplink, an initial BWP may be given by the SIB for a random access procedure. For example, a default BWP may be configured by a higher layer. For example, the initial value of the default BWP may be an initial DL BWP. In order to save energy, if the UE fails to detect DCI within a predetermined time period, the UE may switch the UE's activated BWP to a default BWP.

[0104] In addition, a BWP can be defined for SL. The same SL BWP can be used for transmission and reception. For example, a transmitting UE can send a SL channel or a SL signal within a specific BWP, and a receiving UE can receive a SL channel or a SL signal within the same specific BWP. In a licensed carrier, the SL BWP can be defined separately from the Uu BWP, and the SL BWP can have configuration signaling separate from the Uu BWP. For example, the UE can receive a configuration for the SL BWP from the base station / network. The SL BWP can be configured (in advance) for NR V2X UEs and RRC_IDLE UEs out of coverage. For UEs operating in RRC_CONNECTED mode, at least one SL BWP can be activated within the carrier.

[0105] Figure 7 An example of a BWP according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 7 The embodiments of can be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure. Assume that Figure 7 In the embodiment, the number of BWPs is 3.

[0106] Reference Figure 7 , a common resource block (CRB) may be a carrier resource block numbered from one end of a carrier frequency band to the other end thereof. Additionally, a PRB may be a resource block numbered within each BWP. Point A may indicate a common reference point of a resource block grid.

[0107] It can be obtained by point A, the offset relative to point A (N start BWP ) and bandwidth (Nsize BWP ) to configure the BWP. For example, point A may be an external reference point of the PRBs of the carrier, and subcarrier 0 of all parameter sets (e.g., all parameter sets supported by the network on the corresponding carrier) are aligned in point A. For example, the offset may be the PRB distance between the lowest subcarrier within a given parameter set and point A. For example, the bandwidth may be the number of PRBs within a given parameter set.

[0108] Hereinafter, V2X or SL communication will be described.

[0109] Figure 8a and Figure 8b A radio protocol architecture for SL communication based on an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 8a and Figure 8b The embodiments of can be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure. More specifically, Figure 8a shows the user plane protocol stack, and Figure 8b The control plane protocol stack is shown.

[0110] Hereinafter, a side link synchronization signal (SLSS) and synchronization information will be described.

[0111] The SLSS may include a primary side link synchronization signal (PSSS) and a secondary side link synchronization signal (SSSS) as SL specific sequences. The PSSS may be referred to as a side link primary synchronization signal (S-PSS), and the SSSS may be referred to as a side link secondary synchronization signal (S-SSS). For example, an M sequence of length 127 may be used for the S-PSS, and a Gold sequence of length 127 may be used for the S-SSS. For example, the UE may use the S-PSS for initial signal detection and for synchronization acquisition. For example, the UE may use the S-PSS and the S-SSS for acquiring detailed synchronization and for detecting a synchronization signal ID.

[0112] The physical sidelink broadcast channel (PSBCH) can be a (broadcast) channel for sending default (system) information, which the UE must first know before SL signal transmission / reception. For example, the default information can be information related to SLSS, duplex mode (DM), time division duplex (TDD) uplink / downlink (UL / DL) configuration, information related to resource pool, type of application related to SLSS, subframe offset, broadcast information, etc. For example, in order to evaluate PSBCH performance, in NR V2X, the payload size of PSBCH can be 56 bits, including 24-bit CRC.

[0113] S-PSS, S-SSS, and PSBCH may be included in a block format that supports periodic transmission (e.g., SL synchronization signal (SS) / PSBCH block, hereinafter, sidelink synchronization signal block (S-SSB)). The S-SSB may have the same parameter set (i.e., SCS and CP length) as the physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) / physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) in the carrier, and the transmission bandwidth may exist within a (pre-) configured sidelink (SL) BWP. For example, the S-SSB may have a bandwidth of 11 resource blocks (RBs). For example, the PSBCH may exist across 11 RBs. In addition, the frequency position of the S-SSB may be (pre-) configured. Therefore, the UE does not have to perform hypothesis detection at the frequency to discover the S-SSB in the carrier.

[0114] Fig. 9 A UE performing V2X or SL communication according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Fig. 9 The embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0115] Reference Fig. 9 In V2X or SL communication, the term "UE" may generally refer to a UE of a user. However, if a network device such as a BS transmits / receives a signal according to a communication scheme between UEs, the BS may also be regarded as a type of UE. For example, UE 1 may be a first device 100, and UE 2 may be a second device 200.

[0116] For example, UE 1 may select a resource unit corresponding to a specific resource in a resource pool that means a collection of a series of resources. In addition, UE 1 may send an SL signal by using the resource unit. For example, a resource pool in which UE 1 can send a signal may be configured to UE 2 as a receiving UE, and a signal of UE 1 may be detected in the resource pool.

[0117] Herein, if UE 1 is within the connection range of the BS, the BS may inform the resource pool to UE 1. Otherwise, if UE 1 is out of the connection range of the BS, another UE may inform UE 1 of the resource pool, or UE 1 may use a pre-configured resource pool.

[0118] Generally, a resource pool may consist of multiple resource units, and each UE may select one or more resource units for its SL signal transmission.

[0119] Hereinafter, resource allocation in SL will be described.

[0120] Fig.10a and Fig.10b A process in which a UE performs V2X or SL communication based on a transmission mode according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Fig.10a and Fig.10b The embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure. In various embodiments of the present disclosure, the transmission mode may be referred to as a mode or a resource allocation mode. Hereinafter, for ease of explanation, in LTE, the transmission mode may be referred to as an LTE transmission mode. In NR, the transmission mode may be referred to as an NR resource allocation mode.

[0121] For example, Fig.10a UE operations related to LTE transmission mode 1 or LTE transmission mode 3 are shown. Alternatively, for example, Fig.10a UE operations related to NR resource allocation mode 1 are shown. For example, LTE transmission mode 1 can be applied to conventional SL communication, and LTE transmission mode 3 can be applied to V2X communication.

[0122] For example, Fig.10b UE operations related to LTE transmission mode 2 or LTE transmission mode 4 are shown. Alternatively, for example, Fig.10b UE operations associated with NR resource allocation mode 2 are shown.

[0123] Reference Fig.10a , in LTE transmission mode 1, LTE transmission mode 3, or NR resource allocation mode 1, the BS may schedule SL resources to be used by the UE for SL transmission. For example, the BS may perform resource scheduling for UE 1 through PDCCH (more specifically, downlink control information (DCI)), and UE 1 may perform V2X or SL communication for UE 2 according to the resource scheduling. For example, UE 1 may send sidelink control information (SCI) to UE 2 through a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH), and thereafter send data based on the SCI to UE 2 through a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH).

[0124] Reference Fig.10b , in LTE transmission mode 2, LTE transmission mode 4 or NR resource allocation mode 2, the UE can determine the SL transmission resources within the SL resources configured by the BS / network or the pre-configured SL resources. For example, the configured SL resources or the pre-configured SL resources may be a resource pool. For example, the UE may autonomously select or schedule resources for SL transmission. For example, the UE may perform SL communication by autonomously selecting resources in the configured resource pool. For example, the UE may autonomously select resources within a selection window by performing a sensing and resource (re)selection process. For example, sensing may be performed in units of subchannels. In addition, UE 1, which has autonomously selected resources within the resource pool, may send SCI to UE 2 via PSCCH, and may thereafter send data based on the SCI to UE 2 via PSSCH.

[0125] Figures 11a to 11c Three broadcast types based on embodiments of the present disclosure are shown. Figures 11a to 11c The embodiments of can be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure. Specifically, Fig.11a shows a broadcast type SL communication, Fig.11b shows a unicast type SL communication, and Fig.11c A multicast type SL communication is shown. In the case of a unicast type SL communication, the UE can perform one-to-one communication with another UE. In the case of a multicast type SL transmission, the UE can perform SL communication with one or more UEs in the group to which the UE belongs. In various embodiments of the present disclosure, the SL groupcast communication may be replaced by SL multicast communication, SL one-to-many communication, etc.

[0126] In addition, in SL communication, the UE needs to efficiently select resources for SL transmission. Hereinafter, based on various embodiments of the present disclosure, a method for the UE to efficiently select resources for SL transmission and a device supporting the method will be described. In various embodiments of the present disclosure, SL communication may include V2X communication.

[0127] At least one of the methods proposed in various embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to at least one of unicast communication, multicast communication and / or broadcast communication.

[0128] At least one of the methods proposed based on various embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied not only to SL communication or V2X communication based on PC5 interface or SL interface (for example, PSCCH, PSSCH, PSBCH, PSSS / SSSS, etc.), but also to SL communication or V2X communication based on Uu interface (for example, PUSCH, PDSCH, PDCCH, PUCCH, etc.).

[0129] In various embodiments of the present disclosure, the receiving operation of the UE may include a decoding operation and / or a receiving operation of a SL channel and / or a SL signal (e.g., PSCCH, PSSCH, PSFCH, PSBCH, PSSS / SSSS, etc.). The receiving operation of the UE may include a decoding operation and / or a receiving operation of a WAN DL channel and / or a WAN DL signal (e.g., PDCCH, PDSCH, PSS / SSS, etc.). The receiving operation of the UE may include a sensing operation and / or a channel busy ratio (CBR) measurement operation. In various embodiments of the present disclosure, the sensing operation of the UE may include a PSSCH-RSRP measurement operation based on a PSSCH DM-RS sequence, a PSSCH-RSRP measurement operation based on a PSSCH DM-RS sequence scheduled by a PSCCH successfully decoded by the UE, a side link RSSI (S-RSSI) measurement operation, and / or an S-RSSI measurement operation based on a subchannel related to a V2X resource pool. In various embodiments of the present disclosure, the transmission operation of the UE may include the transmission operation of the SL channel and / or the SL signal (e.g., PSCCH, PSSCH, PSFCH, PSBCH, PSSS / SSSS, etc.). The transmission operation may include the transmission operation of the WAN UL channel and / or the WAN UL signal (e.g., PUSCH, PUCCH, SRS, etc.). In various embodiments of the present disclosure, the synchronization signal may include SLSS and / or PSBCH.

[0130] In various embodiments of the present disclosure, configuration may include signaling, signaling from the network, configuration from the network, and / or pre-configuration from the network. In various embodiments of the present disclosure, definition may include signaling, signaling from the network, configuration from the network, and / or pre-configuration from the network. In various embodiments of the present disclosure, specification may include signaling, signaling from the network, configuration from the network, and / or pre-configuration from the network.

[0131] In various embodiments of the present disclosure, the ProSe per-packet priority (PPPP) may be replaced by the ProSe per-packet reliability (PPPR), and the PPPR may be replaced by the PPPP. For example, when the PPPP value becomes smaller, this may indicate a high priority, and when the PPPP value becomes larger, this may indicate a low priority. For example, when the PPPR value becomes smaller, this may indicate a high reliability, and when the PPPR value becomes larger, this may indicate a low reliability. For example, the PPPP value associated with a service, packet, or message associated with a high priority may be smaller than the PPPP value associated with a service, packet, or message associated with a low priority. For example, the PPPR value associated with a service, packet, or message associated with a high reliability may be smaller than the PPPR value associated with a service, packet, or message associated with a low reliability.

[0132] Furthermore, in the present disclosure, a high priority may mean a small priority value, and a low priority may mean a large priority. For example, Table 5 shows an example of priority.

[0133] [Table 5]

[0134] Service or logical channel Priority value Service A or Logical Channel A 1 Service B or logical channel B 2 Service C or logical channel C 3

[0135] Referring to Table 5, for example, service A or logical channel A associated with the smallest priority value may have the highest priority. For example, service C or logical channel C associated with the largest priority value may have the lowest priority.

[0136] In various embodiments of the present disclosure, a session may include at least one of a unicast session (e.g., a unicast session for SL), a groupcast / multicast session (e.g., a multicast / multicast session for SL), and / or a broadcast session (e.g., a broadcast session for SL).

[0137] In various embodiments of the present disclosure, a carrier may be replaced with at least one of a BWP and / or a resource pool, and vice versa. For example, a carrier may include at least one of a BWP and / or a resource pool. For example, a carrier may include one or more BWPs. For example, a BWP may include one or more resource pools.

[0138] In addition, in the present disclosure, for example, a transmitting UE (TX UE) may be a UE that transmits data to a (target) receiving UE (RX UE). For example, the TX UE may be a UE that performs PSCCH transmission and / or PSSCH transmission. And / or, for example, the TX UE may be a UE that sends a SL CSI-RS and / or a SL CSI report request indicator to a (target) RX UE. And / or, for example, the TX UE may be a UE that sends a (control) channel (e.g., PSCCH, PSSCH, etc.) and / or a reference signal on a (control) channel (e.g., DM-RS, CSI-RS, etc.) to be used for SL RLM operation and / or SL RFL operation of a (target) RX UE.

[0139] In addition, in the present disclosure, for example, a receiving UE (RX UE) may be a UE that sends SL HARQ feedback to a transmitting UE (TX UE) based on whether decoding of data received from the TX UE is successful and / or detection / decoding of a PSCCH (related to PSSCH scheduling) sent by the TX UE is successful. And / or, for example, the RX UE may be a UE that performs SL CSI transmission to the TX UE based on an SLCSI-RS and / or an SL CSI report request indicator received from the TX UE. And / or, for example, the RX UE may be a UE that sends to the TX UE an SL (L1) reference signal received power (RSRP) report request indicator and / or a (predefined) reference signal measured value to the TX UE. And / or, for example, the RX UE may be a UE that sends data of the RX UE to the TX UE. And / or, for example, the RX UE may be a UE that performs a SL RLM operation and / or a SL RLF operation based on a (pre-configured) (control) channel and / or a reference signal on a (control) channel received from the TX UE.

[0140] In addition, in the present disclosure, for example, when the RX UE sends SL HARQ feedback information for the PSSCH and / or PSCCH received from the TX UE, the following options or some of the following options may be considered. Herein, for example, the following options or some of the following options may be restrictedly applied only when the RX UE successfully decodes / detects the PSCCH that schedules the PSSCH.

[0141] (1) Multicast HARQ feedback option 1: NACK information can be sent to the TX UE only if the RX UE cannot decode / receive the PSSCH received from the TX UE.

[0142] (2) Multicast HARQ feedback option 2: If the RX UE successfully decodes / receives the PSSCH received from the TX UE, ACK information may be sent to the TX UE, and if the RX UE fails to decode / receive the PSSCH, NACK information may be sent to the TX UE.

[0143] In addition, in the present disclosure, for example, the TX UE may send the following information or some of the following information to the RX UE through the SCI. Herein, for example, the TX UE may send some or all of the following information to the RX UE through the first SCI and / or the second SCI.

For example, information related to the pattern of (time-frequency) mapping resources of DM-RS, rank (RANK) information, antenna port index information, information about the number of antenna ports, etc.

[0157] In addition, in the present disclosure, for example, since the TX UE can send the SCI, the first SCI and / or the second SCI to the RX UE through the PSCCH, the PSCCH can be replaced / replaced by the SCI and / or the first SCI and / or the second SCI. And / or, the SCI can be replaced / replaced by the PSCCH and / or the first SCI and / or the second SCI. And / or, for example, since the TX UE can send the second SCI to the RX UE through the PSSCH, the PSSCH can be replaced / replaced by the second SCI.

[0158] In addition, in the present disclosure, for example, if the SCI configuration field is divided into two groups in consideration of a (relatively) high SCI payload size, the first SCI including the first SCI configuration field group may be referred to as the first SCI, and the second SCI including the second SCI configuration field group may be referred to as the second SCI. In addition, for example, the first SCI may be sent to the receiving UE via the PSCCH. In addition, for example, the second SCI may be sent to the receiving UE via the (independent) PSCCH, or may be piggybacked via the PSSCH and sent together with the data.

[0159] Furthermore, in the present disclosure, for example, the term “configuration / configured” or the term “defined / defined” may refer to (pre-) configuration from a base station or network (for each resource pool) (through predefined signaling (e.g., SIB, MAC, RRC, etc.)).

[0160] Furthermore, in the present disclosure, for example, since the RLF may be determined based on the out-of-sync (OOS) indicator or the in-sync (IS) indicator, the RLF may be replaced / substituted by the out-of-sync (OOS) or in-sync (IS) indicator.

[0161] In addition, in the present disclosure, for example, an RB may be replaced / replaced by a subcarrier. In addition, in the present disclosure, for example, a packet or a service may be replaced / replaced by a TB or a MAC PDU based on a transport layer.

[0162] Furthermore, in the present disclosure, CBG may be replaced / substituted by TB.

[0163] Furthermore, in the present disclosure, for example, a source ID may be replaced / replaced by a destination ID.

[0164] In addition, in the present disclosure, for example, the L1 ID may be replaced / replaced by the L2 ID. For example, the L1 ID may be the L1 source ID or the L1 destination ID. For example, the L2 ID may be the L2 source ID or the L2 destination ID.

[0165] In addition, in the present disclosure, for example, the operation of the sending UE reserving / selecting / determining retransmission resources may include: the sending UE reserving / selecting / determining potential retransmission resources whose actual use will be determined based on the SL HARQ feedback information received from the receiving UE.

[0166] Furthermore, in the present disclosure, a sub-selection window may be replaced / replaced by a selection window and / or a preconfigured number of resource sets within the selection window, or vice versa.

[0167] In addition, in the present disclosure, SL MODE 1 may refer to a resource allocation method or a communication method in which a base station directly schedules SL transmission resources for a TX UE through predefined signaling (e.g., DCI or RRC message). For example, SL MODE 2 may refer to a resource allocation method or a communication method in which a UE independently selects SL transmission resources from a resource pool preconfigured or configured from a base station or a network. For example, a UE that performs SL communication based on SL MODE 1 may be referred to as a MODE 1UE or a MODE 1TXUE, and a UE that performs SL communication based on SL MODE 2 may be referred to as a MODE 2UE or a MODE 2TX UE.

[0168] In addition, in the present disclosure, for example, a dynamic grant (DG) may be replaced / replaced by a configuration grant (CG) and / or a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) grant, or vice versa. For example, a DG may be replaced / replaced by a combination of a CG and an SPS grant, or vice versa. Alternatively, a CG may be replaced / replaced by a CG type 1 or a CG type 2, or vice versa.

[0169] Furthermore, in the present disclosure, for example, a channel may be replaced / substituted by a signal, or vice versa.

[0170] Furthermore, in the present disclosure, for example, the broadcast type may be changed / replaced by at least one of unicast, multicast, and / or broadcast, or vice versa.

[0171] Furthermore, in the present disclosure, for example, a resource may be replaced / replaced by a time slot or a symbol, or vice versa. For example, a resource may include a time slot and / or a symbol.

[0172] In addition, in the present disclosure, blind retransmission may refer to the TX UE performing retransmission without receiving SL HARQ feedback information from the RX UE. For example, retransmission based on SL HARQ feedback may refer to the TX UE determining whether to perform retransmission based on the SL HARQ feedback information received from the RX UE and performing retransmission. Specifically, for example, in the case where the TX UE performs retransmission based on SL HARQ feedback, if the TX UE receives NACK and / or DTX information from the RX UE, the TX UE may perform retransmission to the RX UE.

[0173] Furthermore, in the present disclosure, time may be replaced / substituted by frequency, or vice versa.

[0174] Furthermore, in the present disclosure, for example, for convenience of description, a (physical) channel used when the RX UE transmits at least one of the following information to the TX UE may be referred to as a PSFCH.

[0175] -SL HARQ feedback, SL CSI, SL (L1) RSRP

[0176] In addition, in NR V2X communication or NR sidelink communication, the transmitting UE can reserve / select one or more transmission resources for sidelink transmission (e.g., initial transmission and / or retransmission), and the transmitting UE can inform the receiving UE of information about the location of the one or more transmission resources.

[0177] In addition, when performing sidelink communication, for example, the method in which the transmitting UE reserves or predetermines the transmission resources for the receiving UE may be based on the following description. Fig.12a , Figure 12b or Fig.13 Embodiment of the invention.

[0178] Fig.12a and Figure 12b An example of chain-based resource reservation is shown.

[0179] For example, the transmitting UE may perform the reservation of the transmitting resources based on the chain. Specifically, for example, when the transmitting UE performs the reservation of K transmitting resources, the location information of less than K transmitting resources may be sent or informed to the receiving UE through the SCI sent to the receiving UE at any (or specific) transmitting time point or time resource. That is, for example, the SCI may include the location information of less than K transmitting resources. Alternatively, for example, when the transmitting UE reserves K transmitting resources associated with a specific TB, the location information of less than K transmitting resources may be sent or informed to the receiving UE through the SCI sent to the receiving UE at any (or specific) transmitting time point or time resource. That is, the SCI may include the location information of less than K transmitting resources. At this time, for example, the transmitting UE only signals the location information of less than K transmitting resources to the receiving UE through an SCI sent at any (or specific) transmitting time point or time resource, thereby preventing performance degradation due to excessive increase in SCI payload. Specifically, for example, Fig.12a A method for the transmitting UE to perform chain-based resource reservation is shown when the value of K is 4 and the transmitting UE signals the location information of (at most) two transmitting resources to the receiving UE via one SCI. In addition, for example, Figure 12b The method of performing chain-based resource reservation by the transmitting UE is shown when the value of K is 4 and the transmitting UE signals the location information of (up to) three transmitting resources to the receiving UE via one SCI. Fig.12a and Figure 12b In the example, only the location information of the fourth transmission-related resource can be sent / signaled to the receiving UE via the fourth (or last) transmission-related PSCCH sent by the transmitting UE. And / or, for example, in Fig.12aIn the example, the location information of the third transmission-related resource may be additionally transmitted / signaled to the receiving UE via the fourth (or last) transmission-related PSCCH transmitted by the transmitting UE. And / or, for example, in Figure 12b In the example, the location information of the second transmission and the third transmission related resources can be additionally transmitted / signaled to the receiving UE via the fourth (or last) transmission related PSCCH transmitted by the transmitting UE. Fig.12a and Figure 12b When only the location information of the fourth transmission-related resources is transmitted / signaled to the receiving UE via the fourth (or last) transmission-related PSCCH transmitted by the transmitting UE, the transmitting UE may configure or specify the location information field / bit of the unused or remaining transmission resources as a preconfigured value (e.g., 0). Or, for example, when Fig.12a and Figure 12b When only the location information of the fourth transmission-related resources is sent / signaled to the receiving UE via the fourth (or last) transmission-related PSCCH sent by the transmitting UE, the transmitting UE may configure or specify the location information field / bit of the unused or remaining transmission resources to indicate a pre-configured state / bit value indicating that it is the last transmission (among the four transmissions).

[0180] Fig.13 An example of block-based resource reservation is shown.

[0181] For example, the transmitting UE may perform the reservation of the transmitting resources on a block basis. Specifically, for example, when the transmitting UE performs the reservation of K transmitting resources, all the location information related to the K transmitting resources may be sent or informed to the receiving UE through the SCI sent to the receiving UE at any (or specific) transmitting time point or time resource. That is, the SCI may include the location information of the K transmitting resources. Alternatively, for example, when the transmitting UE performs the reservation of K transmitting resources related to a specific TB, all the location information related to the K transmitting resources may be sent or informed to the receiving UE through the SCI sent to the receiving UE at any (or specific) transmitting time point or time resource. That is, the SCI may include the location information of the K transmitting resources. For example, Fig.13 It is shown that when the value of K is 4, the transmitting UE performs a method of block-based resource reservation by signaling location information of four transmission resources to the receiving UE via one SCI.

[0182] Fig.14 A method for a first device to determine side link resources based on sensing according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown.

[0183] In one embodiment, Fig.14 The first device shown in the flowchart may correspond to the later described Fig.15 and Fig.16 The first device, and Fig.14 The second device shown in the flowchart may correspond to the later described Fig.15 and Fig.16 the second device.

[0184] In step S1410, according to the first device of the embodiment, a first resource for transmitting a physical side link control channel (PSCCH) or a physical side link shared channel (PSSCH) to the second device may be selected based on the first sensing. In step S1420, according to the first device of the embodiment, it may be determined based on the second sensing that the first resource overlaps with the resource reserved by the second device or the third device. In step S1430, according to the first device of the embodiment, a reassessment may be performed to determine whether to transmit PSCCH or PSSCH based on the first resource. In step S1440, according to the first device of the embodiment, a PSCCH or PSSCH may be transmitted to the second device based on the reassessment. In an embodiment, the end time of the second sensing may be related to the time slot of the first resource, the preconfigured first offset, and the preconfigured second offset. In an embodiment, the first time determined based on the time before the first offset of the first time slot may represent the time related to the reassessment. In an embodiment, the second time before the second offset of the first time may be related to the end time of the second sensing.

[0185] Hereinafter, various embodiments and examples directly or indirectly related to at least one of steps S1410 to S1440 will be described.

[0186] Meanwhile, based on an embodiment of the present disclosure, the UE may perform a sensing operation (hereinafter referred to as INI_SENS) and reserve (potential) transmission resources for performing transmission based on the INI_SENS. In this case, if multiple different UEs perform reservations for transmission resources, overlap may occur between the transmission resources of multiple UEs. To solve this problem, for example, the UE may perform an additional sensing operation (ADD_SENS) until a time corresponding to the resources reserved by the UE. For example, the UE may perform ADD_SENS based on a preconfigured time window length until a time corresponding to the resources reserved by the UE. Here, for example, the resources reserved by the UE may be an initial transmission resource or a first transmission resource. Alternatively, for example, if the UE reserves multiple transmission resources, the resources reserved by the UE may be each resource included in the multiple transmission resources.

[0187] For example, after the UE executes ADD_SENS, if the UE finds that all or part of the resources previously reserved by the UE have overlapped with the transmission / reserved resources of other UEs, or if the UE determines / decides that all or part of the resources previously reserved overlap with the transmission / reserved resources of other UEs, the UE may reselect the previously reserved transmission resources. In this case, for example, the UE's reselection operation may be an operation of selecting / determining a transmission resource different from the transmission resource previously reserved by the UE. For example, the resources previously reserved by the UE may be resources reserved based on INI_SENS. For example, the reselection of the previously reserved transmission resources may be performed for the transmission resources corresponding to the area overlapping with the transmission / reserved resources of other UEs, or the reselection of the previously reserved transmission resources may be performed for the entire reserved transmission resources.

[0188] At the same time, in the case of performing a re-evaluation operation, as described above, after the UE selects a transmission resource (time slot N) based on the result of the initial sensing (INI_SNS) and before the UE sends information related to the transmission resource through the SCI signal, an additional sensing (ADD_SNS) operation / result may be required to check whether the selected transmission resource overlaps with the transmission resources of other UEs. In terms of performance improvement, it would be better if the interval (T_OFFSET) between the end of ADD_SNS and time slot N is as short as possible, but the problem is that the smaller the T_OFFSET value, the faster the UE must process the ADD_SNS result processing / transmission resource reselection, etc. (i.e., the UE implementation complexity increases). Therefore, it is necessary to consider the complexity of the UE implementation to reasonably define the end time of the ADD_SNS for re-evaluating the target resource.

[0189] At the same time, based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the UE performs the operation according to the embodiments, the UE may perform / apply at least one of the methods or rules proposed below. For example, whether to apply the methods / rules proposed below may be configured or determined differently (or restrictively) based on at least one of the resource pool configured for the UE, the service type related to the transmission of the UE, the priority of the service, the type of cast performed by the UE, the destination UE, the (L1 or L2) destination (or source) ID, the service QoS parameter / requirement (e.g., reliability, latency), the (resource pool) congestion level, and / or the SL mode (e.g., mode 1, mode 2). And / or, for example, whether to apply the methods / rules proposed below may be configured or determined differently (or restrictively) based on at least one of a chain-based resource reservation operation, a block-based resource reservation operation, a blind retransmission operation, a retransmission operation based on SL HARQ feedback, a resource selection / reservation / determination operation based on a configured license, and / or a resource selection / reservation / determination operation based on a dynamic license. And / or, for example, parameters (e.g., thresholds) related to the methods / rules proposed below may be configured or determined differently (or restrictively) based on at least one of a resource pool configured for the UE, a service type related to the UE's transmission, a priority of the service, a type of broadcast performed by the UE, a destination UE, a (L1 or L2) destination (or source) ID, a service QoS parameter / requirement (e.g., reliability, latency), a (resource pool) congestion level, and / or a SL mode (e.g., mode 1, mode 2). And / or, for example, parameters (e.g., thresholds) related to the methods / rules proposed below may be configured or determined differently (or restrictively) based on at least one of a chain-based resource reservation operation, a block-based resource reservation operation, a blind retransmission operation, a retransmission operation based on SL HARQ feedback, a resource selection / reservation / determination operation based on a configured grant, and / or a resource selection / reservation / determination operation based on a dynamic grant.

[0190] For example, if the time corresponding to the resource previously reserved / selected by the UE based on INI_SENS is SLOT#N, the end time of the ADD_SENS performed by the UE may be configured / determined / defined as a time before a preconfigured offset from the time SLOT#K (e.g., K≤N) when the reservation information related to the previously reserved / selected resource was signaled. That is, if the time corresponding to the resource previously reserved / selected by the UE based on INI_SENS is SLOT#N, the UE may perform ADD_SENS until a time before a preconfigured offset from the time SLOT#K (e.g., K≤N) when the reservation information related to the previously reserved / selected resource was signaled. In this case, for example, if the UE signals the reservation information related to the previously reserved / selected resource in SLOT#K, the end time of the ADD_SENS performed by the UE may be configured / determined / defined as SLOT#(K-1). Alternatively, for example, if the UE signals reservation information related to previously reserved / selected resources in SLOT#K, the end time of ADD_SENS performed by the UE may be configured / determined / defined as SLOT#(KP). That is, if the UE signals reservation information related to previously reserved / selected resources in SLOT#K, the UE may perform ADD_SENS until SLOT#(K-1) or SLOT#(KP). In this case, for example, the P value may be the (minimum) time required for the UE to process the sensing information. For example, the reservation information related to previously reserved / selected resources may be signaled to other UEs via a PSCCH and / or PSSCH transmitted by the UE.

[0191] For example, the threshold value of PSSCH (and / or PSCCH) RSRP related to ADD_SENS performed by the UE may be configured to be different from (or independent of) the threshold value of PSSCH (and / or PSCCH) RSRP related to INI_SENS performed by the UE. In this case, the UE may use the threshold value of PSSCH (and / or PSCCH) RSRP related to ADD_SENS to exclude resources occupied by other neighboring UEs. And / or, for example, the (minimum) ratio / number of selectable candidate resources to be ensured after the UE performs a resource exclusion operation based on a sensing operation may be configured differently (or independently) between ADD_SENS and INI_SENS.

[0192] For example, in order to reduce the probability of transmission resource conflicts between different UEs, after performing (potential) resource reservation (for transmission) based on the sensing operation (INI_SENS), the UE may perform additional sensing operations (ADD_SENS) (according to the preconfigured time window length) until the relevant (initial / first, or each) reserved resource time. Here, for example, after ADD_SENS, if an overlap between (some) resources reserved (based on INI_SENS) and the transmission / reserved resources of another UE is identified, the (overlapping or all) (based on INI_SENS) reserved resources may be reselected.

[0193] For example, when applying the above operations, the UE may apply the following (some) rules. For example, whether to apply the following (some) proposed rules (and / or parameters (e.g., thresholds)) may be specifically or differently (or restrictively) configured for chain (and / or block) based resource reservation operations (and / or blind (and / or SL HARQ feedback based) retransmission operations and / or resource selection / reservation operations based on configuration grants (and / or dynamic grants) and / or resource pools and / or service types / categories and / or service priorities and / or broadcast types and / or destination UEs and / or (L1 or L2) destination ( / source) IDs and / or (service) QoS parameters (e.g., reliability and latency) and / or (resource pool) congestion levels and / or mode types).

[0194] For example, assuming that the time of the resource selected based on INI_SENS is "SLOT#N", the end time of ADD_SENS can be set to a time that is a preconfigured offset ahead of time SLOT#K (e.g., K≤N) (at which the corresponding resource-related reservation information is signaled). Here, for example, when information about reserved resources based on INI_SENS on SLOT#N (or information about re-evaluation) is signaled on SLOT#K (via PSCCH and / or PSSCH), the end time of ADD_SENS can be set to SLOT#(K-1) (or SLOT#(KP) (where P can be interpreted as the (minimum) time required to process the sensing information)) or earlier.

[0195] In another example, according to the first device of the embodiment, a first resource for sending a physical side link control channel (PSCCH) or a physical side link shared channel (PSSCH) to a second device may be selected based on INI_SENS. The first device may determine that the first resource overlaps with a resource reserved by a second device or a third device based on ADD_SENS. The first device may perform a reassessment to determine whether to send PSCCH or PSSCH based on the first resource. The first device may send PSCCH or PSSCH to the second device based on the reassessment. The end time of ADD_SENS may be related to a time slot related to the first resource, a preconfigured first offset, and a preconfigured second offset. The first time determined based on the time before the first offset of the first time slot may represent a time related to the reassessment. The second time before the second offset of the first time may be related to the end time of the second sensing.

[0196] For example, the ADD_SENS-related PSSCH (and / or PSCCH) RSRP thresholds (e.g., in order to exclude resources occupied by other neighboring UEs) (and / or the (minimum) ratio / number of selectable candidate resources to be ensured after the sensing-based resource exclusion operation) may be configured to be different from (or independent of) INI_SENS.

[0201] In step S1530, the first device may perform resource reselection based on the second sensing.

[0263] Can be through Fig. 20 The signal processing circuit (1000) converts the codeword into a radio signal. Herein, the codeword is a coded bit sequence of an information block. The information block may include a transport block (e.g., UL-SCH transport block, DL-SCH transport block). The radio signal may be transmitted through various physical channels (e.g., PUSCH and PDSCH).

[0264] Specifically, the codeword can be converted into a scrambled bit sequence by the scrambler 1010. The scrambling sequence for scrambling can be generated based on an initial value, and the initial value can include the ID information of the wireless device. The scrambled bit sequence can be modulated into a modulation symbol sequence by the modulator 1020. The modulation scheme may include pi / 2-binary phase shift keying (pi / 2-BPSK), m-phase shift keying (m-PSK), and m-quadrature amplitude modulation (m-QAM). The complex modulation symbol sequence can be mapped to one or more transmission layers by the layer mapper 1030. The modulation symbol of each transmission layer can be mapped (precoded) to (one or more) corresponding antenna ports by the precoder 1040. The output z of the precoder 1040 can be obtained by multiplying the output y of the layer mapper 1030 with the N*M precoding matrix W. Here, N is the number of antenna ports and M is the number of transmission layers. The precoder 1040 can perform precoding after performing transform precoding (e.g., DFT) for the complex modulation symbols. Alternatively, the precoder 1040 may perform precoding without performing transform precoding.

The signal generator 1060 may generate a radio signal from the mapped modulation symbols, and the generated radio signal may be sent to other devices through each antenna. To this end, the signal generator 1060 may include an inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) module, a cyclic prefix (CP) inserter, a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), and an up-converter.

[0266] Can be used with Fig. 20 The signal processing process for the signal received in the wireless device is configured in a manner opposite to the signal processing process (1010-1060) of the wireless device. Fig.19 100, 200) can receive a radio signal from the outside through an antenna port / transceiver. The received radio signal can be converted into a baseband signal by a signal restorer. To this end, the signal restorer may include a downconverter, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a CP remover, and a fast Fourier transform (FFT) module. Next, the baseband signal can be restored to a codeword through a resource demapping process, a post-coding process, a demodulation processor, and a descrambling process. The codeword can be restored to the original information block by decoding. Therefore, a signal processing circuit (not illustrated) for receiving a signal may include a signal restorer, a resource demapper, a post-encoder, a demodulator, a descrambler, and a decoder.
