Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a terminal and a communication method in a wireless communication system. Background Art
[0002] In LTE (Long Term Evolution) and LTE's successor systems (e.g., LTE-A (LTE Advanced), NR (New Radio) (also known as 5G)), D2D (Device to Device) technology, which allows terminals to communicate directly without going through a base station, is being studied (e.g., Non-Patent Document 1).
[0003] D2D reduces the traffic between the terminal and the base station, and enables communication between the terminals even when the base station cannot communicate during disasters. In addition, in 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project), D2D is called "sidelink", but in this specification, a more general term, D2D, is used. However, in the description of the implementation methods described later, sidelink is also used as needed.
[0004] D2D communication is roughly divided into D2D discovery (also called D2D discovery) for discovering other terminals that can communicate, and D2D communication (also called D2D directcommunication, D2D communication, direct communication between terminals, etc.) for direct communication between terminals. Hereinafter, when D2D communication (D2D communication), D2D discovery (D2D discovery), etc. are not specifically distinguished, they are referred to as D2D. In addition, the signal sent and received via D2D is called a D2D signal. Various use cases for services related to V2X (Vehicle to Everything) in NR are being studied (for example, non-patent document 2).

[0008] Non-patent document 2: 3GPP TR 22886 V15.1.0 (2017-03) Summary of the invention
[0009] Problems to be solved by the invention
[0010] As an enhancement of the NR side link, power saving is being studied. For example, as a power saving action, in resource allocation mode 2 where the terminal autonomously selects resources, there is partial sensing in which the terminal senses limited resources within the sensing window. Based on the results of partial sensing, a resource candidate that can be used is selected from the resource selection window.
[0011] Here, in the NR side link, the terminal (Power saving UE) performing power saving action performs data transmission and reception only at a specific timing. On the other hand, in order to perform retransmission based on HARQ (Hybrid automatic repeat request) feedback, the transmission and reception of initial transmission data and retransmission data and the transmission and reception of HARQ feedback are required. Therefore, depending on the timing, it is assumed that the terminal performing power saving action cannot process retransmission based on HARQ feedback.
[0012] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to execute an operation related to HARQ (Hybrid automatic repeat request) suitable for a power saving operation in inter-terminal direct communication.
[0013] Means for solving problems
[0014] According to the disclosed technology, a terminal is provided, which comprises: a control unit, which selects resources according to the timing that other terminals can receive in the resource selection window in the resource pool; and a sending unit, which sends data to the other terminals in the selected resources, and the control unit at least selects resources for retransmission related to HARQ (Hybrid automatic repeat request) feedback sent from the other terminals.
[0015] Effects of the Invention
[0016] According to the disclosed technology, it is possible to execute an operation related to HARQ (Hybrid automatic repeat request) suitable for a power saving operation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0043] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, the embodiment described below is only an example, and the embodiment to which the present invention is applied is not limited to the following embodiment.
[0044] When the wireless communication system of the embodiment of the present invention is operated, the existing technology is appropriately used. However, the existing technology is, for example, the existing LTE, but is not limited to the existing LTE. In addition, unless otherwise specified, the term "LTE" used in this specification has a broad meaning including LTE-Advanced and methods after LTE-Advanced (for example, NR) or wireless LAN (Local Area Network: local area network).
[0045] Furthermore, in the embodiments of the present invention, the duplexing method may be a TDD (Time Division Duplex) method, an FDD (Frequency Division Duplex) method, or other methods (for example, Flexible Duplex, etc.).
[0046] In the embodiment of the present invention, “configuring” wireless parameters and the like may be pre-configuring predetermined values, or may be configuring wireless parameters notified from the base station 10 or the terminal 20 .
[0047] Figure 1This is a diagram for explaining V2X. In 3GPP, the technology to realize V2X (Vehicle to Everything) or eV2X (enhanced V2X) by extending D2D functions is being studied and standardized. Figure 1 As shown, V2X is a part of ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems), which is a general term for V2V (Vehicle to Vehicle) which represents the communication between vehicles, V2I (Vehicle to Infrastructure) which represents the communication between vehicles and roadside equipment (RSU: Road-Side Unit) installed next to the road, V2N (Vehicle to Network) which represents the communication between vehicles and ITS servers, and V2P (Vehicle to Pedestrian) which represents the communication between vehicles and mobile terminals held by pedestrians.
[0048] In addition, 3GPP is studying V2X using cellular communication and terminal-to-terminal communication using LTE or NR. V2X using cellular communication is also called cellular V2X. In NR's V2X, research is being promoted to achieve large capacity, low latency, high reliability, and QoS (Quality of Service) control.
[0049] Regarding LTE or NR V2X, it is envisioned that research not limited to 3GPP specifications can be promoted in the future. For example, it is envisioned to study how to ensure interoperability, reduce the cost caused by high-level installation, use or switch multiple RATs (Radio Access Technology), support for regulations in various countries, and how to obtain, publish, manage and use the data of LTE or NR V2X platform.
[0050] In the embodiments of the present invention, it is mainly envisioned that the communication device is mounted on a vehicle, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to this method. For example, the communication device can be a terminal held by a person, the communication device can also be a device mounted on a drone or an aircraft, the communication device can also be a base station, RSU, relay station (Relay Node), a terminal with scheduling capabilities, etc.
[0051] In addition, SL (Sidelink) can also be distinguished by UL (Uplink) or DL (Downlink) and any one or a combination of the following 1) to 4). In addition, SL can also be other names.
[0052] 1) Resource allocation in the time domain
[0053] 2) Resource allocation in frequency domain
[0054] 3) Reference synchronization signal (including SLSS (Sidelink Synchronization Signal))
[0055] 4) Reference signal used in path loss measurement for transmit power control
[0056] In addition, for OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) of SL or UL, any one of CP-OFDM (Cyclic-Prefix OFDM), DFT-S-OFDM (Discrete Fourier Transform-Spread-OFDM), OFDM without transform precoding, or OFDM with transform precoding can also be used.
[0057] In the SL of LTE, Mode 3 and Mode 4 are defined for resource allocation of the SL to the terminal 20. In Mode 3, transmission resources are dynamically allocated using DCI (Downlink Control Information) sent from the base station 10 to the terminal 20. In addition, in Mode 3, SPS (SemiPersistent Scheduling) can also be performed. In Mode 4, the terminal 20 autonomously selects transmission resources from a resource pool.
[0058] In addition, the time slot in the embodiment of the present invention may also be replaced by a symbol, a mini-time slot, a subframe, a radio frame, or a TTI (Transmission Time Interval). In addition, the cell in the embodiment of the present invention may also be replaced by a cell group, a carrier component, a BWP, a resource pool, a resource, a RAT (Radio Access Technology), a system (including a wireless LAN), etc.
[0059] In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal 20 is not limited to a V2X terminal, but may be any type of terminal that performs D2D communication. For example, the terminal 20 may be a terminal held by a user such as a smartphone, or an IoT (Internet of Things) device such as a smart meter.
[0060] Figure 2 This is a diagram for explaining example (1) of the V2X transmission mode. Figure 2 In the transmission mode of the sidelink communication shown in FIG. 1 , in step 1, the base station 10 sends the scheduling information of the sidelink to the terminal 20A. Then, the terminal 20A sends the PSCCH (Physical Sidelink Control Channel) and PSSCH (Physical Sidelink Shared Channel) to the terminal 20B according to the received scheduling information (step 2). Figure 2 The transmission mode of the sidelink communication shown is called the sidelink transmission mode 3 in LTE. In the sidelink transmission mode 3 in LTE, the sidelink scheduling based on Uu is performed. Uu refers to the wireless interface between UTRAN (Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network) and UE (User Equipment). Figure 2 The transmission mode of the sidelink communication shown is called sidelink transmission mode 1 in NR.
[0061] Figure 3 This is a diagram for explaining example (2) of the V2X transmission mode. Figure 3 In the transmission mode of the side link communication shown in FIG. 1 , the terminal 20A transmits the PSCCH and PSSCH to the terminal 20B using the resources selected autonomously. Figure 3 The transmission mode of the sidelink communication shown is called sidelink transmission mode 4 in LTE. In sidelink transmission mode 4 in LTE, the UE performs the resource selection itself.
[0062] Figure 4 This is a diagram for explaining example (3) of the V2X transmission mode. Figure 4 In the transmission mode of the side link communication shown in FIG. 1 , in step 1, the terminal 20A uses the autonomously selected resources to transmit the PSCCH and PSSCH to the terminal 20B. Similarly, the terminal 20B uses the autonomously selected resources to transmit the PSCCH and PSSCH to the terminal 20A (step 1). Figure 4The transmission mode of the sidelink communication shown is called sidelink transmission mode 2a in NR. In sidelink transmission mode 2 in NR, the terminal 20 performs resource selection itself.
[0063] Figure 5 This is a diagram for explaining example (4) of the V2X transmission mode. Figure 5 In the transmission mode of the sidelink communication shown in FIG. 1 , in step 0, the base station 10 sets a grant for transmitting the sidelink to the terminal 20A via RRC (Radio Resource Control). Then, the terminal 20A transmits the PSSCH to the terminal 20B according to the received resource mode (step 1). Figure 5 The transmission mode of the sidelink communication shown is called sidelink transmission mode 2c in NR.
[0064] Figure 6 This is a diagram for explaining example (5) of the V2X transmission mode. Figure 6 In the transmission mode of the side link communication shown in FIG. 1 , terminal 20A transmits the scheduling information of the side link to terminal 20B via PSCCH in step 1. Then, terminal 20B transmits PSSCH to terminal 20A based on the received scheduling information (step 2). Figure 6 The transmission mode of the sidelink communication shown is called sidelink transmission mode 2d in NR.
[0065] Figure 7 This is a diagram for explaining example (1) of the V2X communication type. Figure 7 The communication type of the side link shown is unicast. Terminal 20A sends PSCCH and PSSCH to terminal 20. Figure 7 In the example shown, the terminal 20A performs unicast to the terminal 20B, and performs unicast to the terminal 20C.
[0066] Figure 8 This is a diagram for explaining example (2) of the V2X communication type. Figure 8 The communication type of the side link shown is multicast. Terminal 20A sends PSCCH and PSSCH to the group to which one or more terminals 20 belong. Figure 8 In the example shown, the group includes the terminal 20B and the terminal 20C, and the terminal 20A performs multicast to the group.
[0067] Fig. 9 This is a diagram for explaining example (3) of the V2X communication type. Fig. 9 The communication type of the side link shown is broadcast. Terminal 20A sends PSCCH and PSSCH to one or more terminals 20. Fig. 9In the example shown, terminal 20A broadcasts to terminal 20B, terminal 20C, and terminal 20D. Figure 7 to Figure 9 The terminal 20A shown is referred to as a head-UE.
[0068] In addition, in NR-V2X, it is envisaged to support HARQ (Hybrid automatic repeat request) in unicast and multicast of the side link. In addition, in NR-V2X, SFCI (Sidelink Feedback Control Information) including HARQ response is defined. In addition, research is underway to send SFCI via PSFCH (Physical Sidelink Feedback Channel).
[0069] In addition, in the following description, it is assumed that PSFCH is used in the transmission of HARQ-ACK in the side link, but this is only an example. For example, PSCCH can be used to transmit HARQ-ACK in the side link, PSSCH can be used to transmit HARQ-ACK in the side link, and other channels can be used to transmit HARQ-ACK in the side link.
[0070] In the following, for convenience of explanation, all information reported by the terminal 20 in HARQ is referred to as HARQ-ACK. The HARQ-ACK may also be referred to as HARQ-ACK information. In addition, more specifically, the codebook for the HARQ-ACK information reported from the terminal 20 to the base station 10, etc. is referred to as the HARQ-ACK codebook. The HARQ-ACK codebook specifies the bit string of the HARQ-ACK information. In addition, using "HARQ-ACK", NACK is also sent in addition to ACK.
[0071] Fig.10 is a timing diagram showing an operation example (1) of V2X. Fig.10 As shown in FIG. 1 , the wireless communication system according to the embodiment of the present invention may include a terminal 20A and a terminal 20B. In addition, there are actually a plurality of user devices, but Fig.10 The terminal 20A and the terminal 20B are shown as examples.
[0072] Hereinafter, when the terminals 20A, 20B, etc. are not particularly distinguished, they are simply referred to as "terminal 20" or "user device". Fig.10In the figure, as an example, the case where both the terminal 20A and the terminal 20B are within the coverage of the cell is shown, but the actions in the embodiment of the present invention can also be applied to the case where the terminal 20B is outside the coverage.
[0073] As described above, in this embodiment, the terminal 20 is a device mounted on a vehicle such as a car, and has a cellular communication function and a side link function as a UE in LTE or NR. The terminal 20 may also be a general portable terminal (smartphone, etc.). In addition, the terminal 20 may also be an RSU. The RSU may be a UE type RSU (UE type RSU) having the function of a UE, or a gNB type RSU (gNB type RSU) having the function of a base station device.
[0074] Furthermore, the terminal 20 does not need to be a device having a single housing. For example, even when various sensors are dispersedly arranged in a vehicle, the terminal 20 may be a device including the various sensors.
[0075] In addition, the processing content of the transmission data of the side link of the terminal 20 is basically the same as the processing content of the UL transmission in LTE or NR. For example, the terminal 20 scrambles the codeword of the transmission data, modulates it to generate complex-valued symbols, maps the complex-valued symbols (transmission signal) to layer 1 or layer 2, and performs precoding. Then, the precoded complex-valued symbols are mapped to resource elements to generate a transmission signal (for example, complex-valued time-domain SC-FDMA signal: complex-valued time-domain SC-FDMA signal), and sent from each antenna port.
[0076] In addition, the base station 10 has a cellular communication function as a base station in LTE or NR, and a function for enabling the terminal 20 in this embodiment to communicate (for example, resource pool setting, resource allocation, etc.). In addition, the base station 10 can also be an RSU (gNB type RSU).
[0077] In addition, in the wireless communication system according to the embodiment of the present invention, the signal waveform used by the terminal 20 in the SL or UL may be OFDMA, SC-FDMA, or other signal waveforms.
[0078] In step S101 , the terminal 20A autonomously selects resources to be used for the PSCCH and PSSCH from a resource selection window having a predetermined duration. The resource selection window may be set by the base station 10 for the terminal 20 .
[0079] In step S102 and step S103, the terminal 20A uses the resources autonomously selected in step S101 to send SCI (Sidelink Control Information) using PSCCH and / or PSSCH, and sends SL data using PSSCH. For example, the terminal 20A may send PSCCH using frequency resources adjacent to the frequency resources of PSSCH in the same time resources as at least a portion of the time resources of PSSCH.
[0080] Terminal 20B receives SCI (PSCCH and / or PSSCH) and SL data (PSSCH) transmitted from terminal 20A. The received SCI may include information on PSFCH resources for terminal 20B to transmit HARQ-ACK for the received data. Terminal 20A may include information on the resources selected autonomously in SCI and transmit it.
[0081] In step S104, the terminal 20B transmits HARQ-ACK for the received data to the terminal 20A using the resources of the PSFCH determined by the received SCI.
[0082] If the HARQ-ACK received in step S104 indicates a request for retransmission, that is, NACK (negative acknowledgement), the terminal 20A retransmits the PSCCH and PSSCH to the terminal 20B in step S105. The terminal 20A can retransmit the PSCCH and PSSCH using the autonomously selected resources.
[0083] In addition, when HARQ control is not performed, step S104 and step S105 may not be performed.
[0084] Fig.11 This is a timing diagram showing an example of V2X operation (2). Blind retransmission may be performed regardless of HARQ control for improving the transmission success rate or the reach distance.
[0085] In step S201 , the terminal 20A autonomously selects resources to be used for the PSCCH and PSSCH from a resource selection window having a predetermined duration. The resource selection window may be set by the base station 10 for the terminal 20 .
[0086] In step S202 and step S203, terminal 20A uses the resources autonomously selected in step S201 to send SCI using PSCCH and / or PSSCH, and sends SL data using PSSCH. For example, terminal 20A may send PSCCH using frequency resources adjacent to the frequency resources of PSSCH in the same time resources as at least a portion of the time resources of PSSCH.
[0087] In step S204, the terminal 20A retransmits the SCI based on the PSCCH and / or PSSCH and the SL data based on the PSSCH to the terminal 20B using the resources autonomously selected in step S201. The retransmission in step S204 may be performed multiple times.
[0088] In addition, when blind retransmission is not performed, step S204 may not be performed.
[0089] Fig.12 is a timing diagram showing an action example (3) of V2X. The base station 10 can perform scheduling of the side link. That is, the base station 10 can determine the resources of the side link used by the terminal 20 and send information indicating the resources to the terminal 20. Furthermore, when HARQ control is applied, the base station 10 can send information indicating the resources of the PSFCH to the terminal 20.
[0090] In step S301, the base station 10 transmits DCI (Downlink Control Information) to the terminal 20A using the PDCCH, thereby performing SL scheduling. Hereinafter, for convenience of description, the DCI for SL scheduling is referred to as SL scheduling DCI (SLscheduling DCI).
[0091] In addition, the following situation is assumed: in step S301, the base station 10 also sends DCI for DL scheduling (also referred to as DL allocation) to the terminal 20A using the PDCCH. Hereinafter, for the convenience of explanation, the DCI for DL scheduling is referred to as DL scheduling DCI. The terminal 20A that receives the DL scheduling DCI uses the resources specified by the DL scheduling DCI to receive DL data using the PDSCH.
[0092] In step S302 and step S303, the terminal 20A uses the resources specified by the SL scheduling DCI to send SCI (Sidelink Control Information) using PSCCH and / or PSSCH, and sends SL data using PSSCH. In addition, in the SL scheduling DCI, only the resources of PSSCH can be specified. In this case, for example, the terminal 20A can send PSCCH using frequency resources adjacent to the frequency resources of PSSCH in the same time resources as at least a part of the time resources of PSSCH.
[0093] Terminal 20B receives SCI (PSCCH and / or PSSCH) and SL data (PSSCH) transmitted from terminal 20A. The SCI received using PSCCH and / or PSSCH includes information on resources of "PSFCH for terminal 20B to transmit HARQ-ACK for reception of the data".
[0094] The information of the resource is included in the DL scheduling DCI or SL scheduling DCI sent from the base station 10 in step S301, and the terminal 20A obtains the information of the resource from the DL scheduling DCI or SL scheduling DCI and includes it in the SCI. Alternatively, assuming that the DCI sent from the base station 10 does not include the information of the resource, the terminal 20A autonomously includes the information of the resource in the SCI and sends it.
[0095] In step S304, the terminal 20B transmits HARQ-ACK for the received data to the terminal 20A using the resources of the PSFCH determined by the received SCI.
[0096] In step S305, the terminal 20A, for example, sends HARQ-ACK at a timing (e.g., timing in time slots) specified by the DL scheduling DCI (or the SL scheduling DCI) using the PUCCH (Physical uplink control channel) resources specified by the DL scheduling DCI (or the SL scheduling DCI), and the base station 10 receives the HARQ-ACK. The codebook of the HARQ-ACK may include an ARQ-ACK generated based on the HARQ-ACK received from the terminal 20B or based on the unreceived PSFCH, and a HARQ-ACK for DL data. However, in the case where there is no allocation of DL data, etc., the HARQ-ACK for DL data is not included. In Rel.16 of NR, the codebook of the HARQ-ACK does not include a HARQ-ACK for DL data.
[0097] In addition, when HARQ control is not performed, step S304 and step S305 may not be performed.
[0098] Fig.13 It is a timing diagram showing an action example (4) of V2X. As described above, the side link of NR supports the case of sending HARQ responses through PSFCH. In addition, the format of PSFCH can use the same format as PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel) format 0 (PUCCH format 0), for example. That is, regarding the format of PSFCH, it can be a timing-based format in which the PRB (Physical Resource Block) size is 1, and ACK and NACK are identified based on the difference in timing and / or cyclic shift. The format of PSFCH is not limited to this. The resources of PSFCH can be configured in the codeword at the end of the time slot or multiple codewords at the end. In addition, a period N is set or pre-defined for the PSFCH resources. The period N can be set or pre-defined in units of time slots.
[0099] exist Fig.13 In the figure, the vertical axis corresponds to the frequency domain and the horizontal axis corresponds to the time domain. PSCCH can be configured in one symbol at the beginning of the time slot, or in multiple symbols starting from the beginning, or in multiple symbols starting from a symbol other than the beginning. PSFCH can be configured in one symbol at the end of the time slot, or in multiple symbols at the end of the time slot. Fig.13 In the example shown, three subchannels are set in the resource pool, and two PSFCHs are arranged three slots after the slot in which the PSSCH is arranged. The arrow from the PSSCH to the PSFCH shows an example of the PSFCH associated with the PSSCH.
[0100] In the case where the HARQ response in the NR-V2X multicast is multicast option 2 of sending ACK or NACK, it is necessary to determine the resources used for the transmission and reception of the PSFCH. Fig.13 As shown, in step S401, terminal 20A as the transmitting terminal 20 performs multicast to terminal 20B, terminal 20C and terminal 20D as the receiving terminal 20 via SL-SCH. In the next step S402, terminal 20B uses PSFCH#B to send a HARQ response to terminal 20A, terminal 20C uses PSFCH#C to send a HARQ response to terminal 20A, and terminal 20D uses PSFCH#D to send a HARQ response to terminal 20A. Here, as shown in FIG. Fig.13As shown in the example of , when the number of available PSFCH resources is less than the number of receiving terminals 20 belonging to the group, it is necessary to decide how to allocate PSFCH resources. In addition, the transmitting terminal 20 can grasp the number of receiving terminals 20 in the multicast. In addition, in multicast option 1, as a HARQ response, only NACK is sent, and ACK is not sent.
[0101] Fig.14 is a diagram showing an example of a sensing operation. When partial sensing is not set by a higher layer in the LTE side link, as shown in FIG. Fig.14 As shown, terminal 20 selects resources to send. Fig.14 As shown, the terminal 20 performs sensing in the sensing window in the resource pool. Through sensing, the terminal 20 receives the resource reservation field contained in the SCI sent from other terminals 20, and identifies the available resource candidates in the resource selection window in the resource pool according to the field. Then, the terminal 20 randomly selects resources from the available resource candidates. Sensing the resources in the entire sensing window can be called full sensing.
[0102] In addition, if Fig.14 As shown, the resource pool setting may have a period. For example, the period may be a period of 10240 milliseconds. Fig.14 is subframe t 0 SL To subframe t Tmax SL An example of being set as a resource pool. The area of the resource pool within a period can be set by, for example, a bitmap.
[0103] In addition, if Fig.14 As shown, assuming that the transmission trigger in terminal 20 occurs in subframe n, the priority of the transmission is p TX The terminal 20 can detect that in subframe t n-10×Pstep SL To subframe t n-1 SL In the sensing window, for example, other terminals 20 are performing priority p RX When SCI is detected in the sensing window and RSRP is greater than the threshold, the resources in the resource selection window corresponding to the SCI are excluded. In addition, when SCI is detected in the sensing window and RSRP is less than the threshold, the resources in the resource selection window corresponding to the SCI are not excluded. The threshold may also be, for example, based on the priority p TX and priority p RX The threshold Th is set or defined according to each resource in the sensing window. pTX,pRX .
[0104] In addition, if Fig.14 The subframe t shown Z SL In this way, for example, for transmission, resources within the resource selection window that are candidates for resource reservation information corresponding to resources within the sensing window that are not monitored are excluded.
[0105] like Fig.14 As shown, in subframe n+T 1 To subframe n+T 2 In the resource selection window, the resources occupied by other UEs are identified, and the resources after the resources are excluded become the available resource candidates. When the set of available resource candidates is set to S A When S A When the resource selection window is less than 20%, the threshold value Th set for each resource in the sensing window can be set to pTX,pRX The resource identification is performed again by increasing the threshold Th by 3 dB. pTX,pRX The resource identification is performed again when the RSRP is lower than the threshold, so that the resources that are not excluded due to RSRP being lower than the threshold are increased. A The RSSI of each resource is calculated, and the resource with the smallest RSSI is added to the set S B You can also repeat the process of A The resource with the smallest RSSI is appended to S B The actions in the above table are as follows: B Become more than 20% of the resource selection window.
[0106] The lower layer of terminal 20 can B The upper layer of terminal 20 can report to S B The terminal 20 may use the determined resources to perform sidelink transmission. In addition, the terminal 20 may also temporarily secure resources and not use the predetermined number of times (e.g., C resel times) to perform sensing and periodically use resources.
[0107] Fig.15 1 is a diagram showing an example of partial sensing operation. When partial sensing is set by a higher layer in the LTE side link, as shown in FIG. Fig.15 As shown, terminal 20 selects resources to send. Fig.15As shown, the terminal 20 performs partial sensing on a portion of the sensing window in the resource pool. Through partial sensing, the terminal 20 receives the resource reservation field included in the SCI sent from other terminals 20, and identifies the available resource candidates in the resource selection window in the resource pool according to the field. Then, the terminal 20 randomly selects a resource from the available resource candidates.
[0108] In addition, if Fig.15 As shown, the resource pool setting may have a period. For example, the period may be a period of 10240 milliseconds. Fig.15 is subframe t 0 SL To subframe t Tmax SL An example of being set as a resource pool. The area of the resource pool within a period can be set by, for example, a bitmap.
[0109] like Fig.15 As shown, assuming that the transmission trigger in terminal 20 occurs in subframe n, the priority of the transmission is p TX .like Fig.15 As shown, subframe n+T 1 To subframe n+T 2 In subframe t Y SL To subframe t y+Y SL The Y subframe can be set as the resource selection window. Fig.15 As shown, assuming that the transmission trigger in terminal 20 occurs in subframe n, the priority of the transmission is p TX .
[0110] The terminal 20 can detect that in the subframe t which is the Y subframe length y-k×Pstep SL To subframe t y+Y-k×Pstep SL In one or more sensing windows, for example, other terminals 20 are performing priority p RX k can be, for example, a 10-bit bitmap. Fig.15 , an example is shown in which the 3rd and 6th bits of the bitmap k are set to "1" to indicate that partial sensing is performed. Fig.15 In subframe t y-6×Pstep SL To subframe t y+Y-6×Pstep SL and subframe t y-3×Pstep SL To subframe t y+Y-3×Pstep SL is set as the sensing window. As described above, the i-th bit of the bitmap k may correspond to the subframe t y-i×Pstep SLTo subframe t y+Y-i×Pstep SL sensing window.
[0111] When SCI is detected in one or more sensing windows and RSRP is greater than the threshold, the resources in the resource selection window corresponding to the SCI are excluded. In addition, when SCI is detected in the sensing window and RSRP is less than the threshold, the resources in the resource selection window corresponding to the SCI are not excluded. The threshold may also be, for example, based on the priority p TX and priority p RX The threshold Th is set or defined according to each resource in the sensing window. pTX,pRX .
[0112] In the resource selection window set with Y subframes, the terminal 20 identifies the resources occupied by other UEs, and the resources after the resources are excluded become the available resource candidates. A When S A When the resource selection window is less than 20%, the threshold value Th set for each resource in the sensing window can be set to pTX,pRX The resource identification is performed again by increasing the threshold Th by 3 dB. pTX,pRX The resource identification is performed again when the RSRP is lower than the threshold, so that the resources that are not excluded due to RSRP being lower than the threshold are increased. A The RSSI of each resource is calculated, and the resource with the smallest RSSI is added to the set S B You can also repeat the process of A The resource with the smallest RSSI in the set S is added to SB until the set of resource candidates S B Become more than 20% of the resource selection window.
[0113] The lower layer of terminal 20 can B The upper layer of terminal 20 can report to S B The terminal 20 may use the determined resources to perform sidelink transmission. In addition, the terminal 20 may also temporarily secure resources and not use the predetermined number of times (e.g., C resel times) to perform sensing and periodically use resources.
[0114] In the above Fig.14 and Fig.15 In the description, the operation of the transmitting terminal 20 is described, but the receiving terminal 20 can also detect data transmission from other terminals 20 based on the results of sensing or partial sensing, and receive data from the other terminals 20.
[0115] Here, in the side link of NR Release 17, power saving based on the above-mentioned random resource selection and partial sensing is being studied. For example, for power saving, the random resource selection and partial sensing of the side link in LTE Release 14 can be applied to the resource allocation mode 2 of the side link of NR Release 16. The terminal 20 to which partial sensing is applied performs reception and sensing only in a specific time slot within the sensing window.
[0116] In addition, in the side link of NR version 17, inter-UE coordination is used as a baseline, and eURLLC (enhanced Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communication) is being studied. For example, terminal 20A and terminal 20B share information representing a resource set, and terminal 20B considers this information in selecting resources for transmission.
[0117] Here, the terminal 20 (power saving UE) that performs power saving action executes data transmission, data reception or sensing only at a specific timing. On the other hand, in order to perform retransmission based on HARQ (Hybrid automatic repeat request) feedback, the transmission and reception of initial transmission data and retransmission data and the transmission and reception of HARQ feedback are required. In addition, the resources used for retransmission are reserved by the control signal accompanying the initial transmission data. Therefore, depending on the timing, it is assumed that the terminal 20 that performs power saving action cannot process retransmission based on HARQ feedback. In addition, timing can refer to one or more periodic time slots, or it can refer to any interval based on other time domain units.
[0118] Fig.16 is a diagram showing an example (1) of a transmission and reception operation. When the terminal 20A transmits to the terminal 20B that is performing a power saving operation, the timing at which the terminal 20B can receive is limited. For example, Fig.16 As shown, even if the initial PSCCH / PSSCH transmission #1 and the PSFCH as HARQ feedback are included in the timing that the terminal 20B can receive, if the retransmission PSCCH / PSSCH transmission #2 is not included in the timing, the terminal 20B may not be able to receive the retransmission based on the HARQ feedback.
[0119] Fig.17 2 is a diagram showing an example (2) of a transmission and reception operation. When the terminal 20A performing a power saving operation transmits to the terminal 20B, the timing at which the terminal 20A can transmit is limited. For example, Fig.16As shown, even if the initial PSCCH / PSSCH transmission #1 and the PSFCH as HARQ feedback are included in the timing that terminal 20A can send, if the retransmission PSCCH / PSSCH transmission #2 is not included in the timing, terminal 20A may not be able to send the retransmission based on the HARQ feedback.
[0120] Therefore, when at least one of the transmitting terminal 20 and the receiving terminal 20 performs power saving operation and HARQ-based retransmission is assumed, the terminal 20 can perform operations related to at least one of resource selection, transmission and reception in consideration of HARQ-based retransmission.
[0121] In addition, the power saving operation may be, for example, at least one of the following 1) to 3).
[0122] 1) Send only at a specific time
[0123] 2) Reception only at a specific timing
[0124] 3) Sensing only at specific timing
[0125] Fig.18 1 is a diagram showing an example (1) of the transmission and reception operation in the embodiment of the present invention. When the receiving terminal 20B performs power saving operation, retransmission based on HARQ feedback can also be received without relying on timing and decoding can be attempted. Fig.18 As shown, the initial transmission of a certain transport block, ie, PSCCH / PSSCH, may necessarily be transmitted at a timing at which the receiving terminal 20B performing the power saving operation can receive it.
[0126] The transmitting terminal 20A can select and reserve resources for retransmission regardless of the timing at which the receiving terminal 20B can receive. That is, the transmitting terminal 20A can select and reserve resources for retransmission from a period including the timing at which the receiving terminal 20B can receive, or can select and reserve resources for retransmission from a period not including the timing at which the receiving terminal 20B can receive.
[0127] Furthermore, the resource selection window used by the transmission side terminal 20A may be set from the start time slot of the timing that the reception side terminal 20B can receive, or may be set from any time slot of the timing that the reception side terminal 20B can receive.
[0128] Fig.19 FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example (2) of the transmission and reception operation in the embodiment of the present invention. Fig.19 As shown, when selecting and reserving resources for retransmission, the transmitting terminal 20A preferentially selects and reserves resources included in the timing that the receiving terminal 20B can receive. Fig.19 As shown, the transmission-side terminal 20A may also set the timing at which the reception-side terminal 20B can receive as the resource selection window.
[0129] In addition, when the transmitting terminal 20A fails to select a resource for retransmission from among the resources included in the timing that the receiving terminal 20B can receive, the transmitting terminal 20A may select and reserve a resource for retransmission regardless of the timing that the receiving terminal 20B can receive. In addition, when the transmitting terminal 20A fails to select a resource for retransmission from among the resources included in the timing that the receiving terminal 20B can receive, the transmitting terminal 20A may set a resource selection window from the start time slot of the timing that the terminal 20B can receive.
[0130] The above-mentioned "a case where the transmitting terminal 20A fails to select a resource for retransmission from among the resources included in the timing that the receiving terminal 20B can receive" may refer to, for example, a case where the ratio of available resources does not exceed the threshold value X% of the resource selection window relative to the entire resources as a result of resource exclusion. In addition, "a case where the transmitting terminal 20A fails to select a resource for retransmission from among the resources included in the timing that the receiving terminal 20B can receive" may refer to, for example, a case where there is no candidate resource for retransmission due to at least one of the processing time for HARQ feedback and the range of time that can be specified by a certain SCI.
[0131] Fig. 20 FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example (3) of the transmission and reception operation in the embodiment of the present invention. When the receiving terminal 20B performs a power saving operation, as shown in FIG. Fig. 20 As shown, the receiving terminal 20B may receive the retransmission resource when the retransmission resource is reserved for the resource that was not originally received. Alternatively, the receiving terminal 20B may not receive the retransmission resource when the retransmission resource is reserved for the resource that was not originally received.
[0132] When receiving a resource for retransmission for a resource that was not originally received as described above, the receiving terminal 20B may or may not transmit HARQ feedback in the PSFCH corresponding to the resource for retransmission.
[0133] In the above Fig.18 , Fig.19 and Fig. 20 As shown, by performing the transmission and reception operation, when the receiving terminal 20B performs the power saving operation, the transmitting terminal 20A can perform retransmission based on HARQ feedback without being restricted by the timing at which the receiving terminal 20B can receive. That is, resource utilization efficiency can be improved.
[0134] Fig.21 FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example (4) of the transmission and reception operation in the embodiment of the present invention. When the receiving terminal 20B performs a power saving operation, as shown in FIG. Fig.21 As shown, retransmission based on HARQ feedback can be performed at a timing that the receiving terminal 20B can receive. When the receiving terminal 20B performs a power saving operation, the transmitting terminal 20A can also select a starting resource in the time domain of resource candidates included in the timing that the receiving terminal 20B can receive in resource selection.
[0135] And, if Fig. 20 As shown in FIG. 1 , the slot indication for reserving resources for retransmission in SCI can be counted only at the timing at which the receiving terminal 20B can receive. That is, the timing at which the receiving terminal 20B can receive can be shared by the transmitting terminal 20. Fig. 20 , the following example is shown: when sending #1 in time slot n, the time slot index in the SCI is based on time slot n, and the index is only assigned to the time slot that the receiving terminal 20B can receive. n+4 is the time slot index in the SCI, and the corresponding time slot is included in the timing that the receiving terminal 20B can receive.
[0136] In addition, information indicating that "transmission is to a terminal performing power saving operation" can be notified through SCI. In addition, information indicating that "time slot notification is counted only at a timing at which the receiving terminal 20B can receive" can also be notified through SCI.
[0137] In addition, in the case where the transmitting terminal 20A cannot indicate the reservation of the timing that the receiving terminal 20B can receive, the transmitting terminal 20A may be allowed to retransmit a certain transport block without reserving resources. For example, the case where the transmitting terminal 20A cannot indicate the reservation of the timing that the receiving terminal 20B can receive may refer to "the case where the number of time slots between transmission #1 and transmission #2 is 32 or more" (or, the case where it is greater than 32).
[0138] In such Fig.21 As shown, by performing the transmission and reception operation, when the receiving terminal 20B performs the power saving operation, the transmitting terminal 20A can perform the retransmission operation without increasing the reception time of the receiving terminal 20B. That is, the power saving effect is enhanced.
[0139] Fig. 22 This is a diagram showing example (5) of the sending and receiving operation in the embodiment of the present invention. Fig.23 is a diagram showing an example (6) of the transmission and reception operation in the embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 22 and Fig.23As shown, the transmitting terminal 20A may set the resource selection window according to whether or not the resource selection is for retransmission based on HARQ feedback.
[0140] For example, the transmitting terminal 20A may select resources for retransmission based on HARQ feedback, such as Fig. 22 As shown, set the resource selection window to Y 1 Time slot. 1 It can be a value equal to a specific parameter, or a value above that parameter based on UE installation.
[0141] For example, the transmitting terminal 20A may select resources for retransmission not based on HARQ feedback, such as Fig.23 As shown, set the resource selection window to Y 2 Time slot. 2 Can be different from " 1 The value may be equal to a "certain parameter of the associated parameters" or may be a value above the parameter based on the UE installation.
[0142] For example, Y 1 Can be compared to Y 2 Big (Y 1 >Y 2 ). 1 and Y 2 For example, it may be associated with a priority level associated with the data to be sent, or it may be associated with a maximum packet delay budget associated with the data to be sent.
[0143] In addition, the resource selection window may be discontinuous in the time domain.
[0144] like Fig. 22 and Fig.23 As shown, by executing the transmission and reception operation, the transmitting terminal 20A that performs the power saving operation can expand the resource selection window only when a larger resource selection window is required. That is, it is possible to suppress excessive sensing and increase the power saving effect.
[0145] Furthermore, when the transmitting terminal 20A performs a power saving operation, the transmitting terminal 20A may set a resource selection window according to whether the resource selection for retransmission based on the HARQ feedback is successful.
[0146] For example, the transmitting terminal 20A may set the resource selection window to Y when selecting resources for retransmission based on HARQ feedback. 3 Time slot. 3 It can be a value equal to a specific parameter, or a value above that parameter based on UE installation. 3The sensing action corresponding to the time slot (eg, partial sensing) and / or the Y 3 The resources in the time slot exclude actions and determine the resource candidates.
[0147] For example, the sending terminal 20A can 3 If the resource selection for retransmission based on HARQ feedback fails in the resource selection window of the time slot, the resource selection window is increased from Y 3 Time slot changed to Y 4 Time slot. 4 Can be different from " 3 The value of a certain parameter of the associated parameter is equal to the value of the parameter installed by the UE. For example, Y 4 Can be compared to Y 3 Big (Y 4 >Y 3 ).
[0148] When selecting a resource for retransmission based on HARQ feedback, the transmitting terminal 20A 3 If resource selection fails in the resource selection window of the time slot, the RSRP threshold can be changed and the resource exclusion action can be performed again. In addition, if resource selection fails even if the RSRP threshold is changed M times, the transmitting terminal 20A can determine that the resource selection fails in the Y time slot. 3 The resource selection window in the time slot based on HARQ feedback fails to select the resource for retransmission, and the resource selection window is increased from Y 3 Time slot changed to Y 4 M can be a value equal to a specific parameter or a value greater than that parameter based on UE installation.
[0149] In addition, the resource selection window may be discontinuous in the time domain.
[0150] For example, the transmitting terminal 20A 3 If the resource selection for retransmission based on HARQ feedback fails in the resource selection window of the time slot, the position of the resource selection window can be changed and the sensing and / or resource exclusion action can be performed again. The changed position of the resource selection window can be pre-set with an offset or determined by UE installation.
[0151] When selecting a resource for retransmission based on HARQ feedback, the transmitting terminal 20A 3 If resource selection fails in the resource selection window of the time slot, you can change Y 3 For example, Y 3 Whenever resource selection fails, you can add one or more resources. And even if you change Y 3, if resource selection also fails, the sending terminal 20A can determine that 3 The resource selection window in the time slot based on HARQ feedback fails to select the resource for retransmission, and the resource selection window is increased from Y 3 Time slot changed to Y 4 time slot. N can be a value equal to a specific parameter or a value greater than that parameter based on UE installation. 3 Increase to Y MAX In the case of Y 3 The resource selection window in the time slot based on HARQ feedback fails to select the resource for retransmission, and the resource selection window is increased from Y 3 Time slot changed to Y 4 time slot. That is, Y MAX It may be a threshold value indicating "the upper limit of the size of the resource selection window when it is determined that the resource selection has failed".
[0152] As described above, by setting the resource selection window according to whether the resource selection for retransmission based on HARQ feedback is successful, a relatively small resource selection window is usually used, and the size or position of the resource selection window can be changed when necessary. That is, excessive sensing can be suppressed, and the power saving effect is increased.
[0153] In addition, the terminal 20 that performs power saving action may refer to a terminal 20 that performs partial sensing, or may refer to a terminal 20 that is set to perform partial sensing, or may refer to a terminal 20 that is pre-set to perform partial sensing, or may refer to a terminal 20 that performs a sensing method different from the full sensing specified in version 16, or may refer to a terminal 20 that does not perform sensing, or may refer to a terminal 20 that receives only for a limited time (for example, DRX).
[0154] In addition, full sensing may refer to sensing all resources within a sensing window. The sensing window may be composed of a time slot interval [nT 0 , nT proc,0 ] is used to specify that n can be the time slot corresponding to the packet arrival timing.
[0155] In the above-mentioned embodiment, the receiving terminal 20 may be a plurality of terminals 20, or may belong to the same group. In addition, both the receiving terminal 20 and the transmitting terminal 20 may be terminals 20 that perform power saving operations.
[0156] In the above-mentioned embodiment, retransmission may not be limited to retransmission based on HARQ feedback. For example, retransmission may also correspond to multiple transmissions of the same transport block.
[0157] In the above-mentioned embodiment, the terminal 20 is not limited to a V2X terminal, and may be any terminal as long as it is a device that executes D2D.
[0158] In the above-mentioned embodiment, the transmitting terminal 20A can know the timing at which the receiving terminal 20B can receive and / or the timing at which the receiving terminal 20B can send. For example, the timing can be specified by a specification, or the transmitting terminal 20A can know the timing in advance by setting or pre-setting (pre configuration). In addition, the transmitting terminal 20A can also know the timing through notification between terminals or notification from the base station 10.
[0159] According to the above-described embodiment, when the receiving terminal 20 and / or the transmitting terminal 20 performs a power saving operation, resource selection corresponding to resource limitation due to the power saving operation is performed, thereby enabling control based on HARQ feedback without hindering the power saving operation.
[0160] That is, in the inter-terminal direct communication, it is possible to perform an operation related to HARQ (Hybrid automatic repeat request) suitable for a power saving operation.

Fig.25 The functional configuration shown is only an example, and any functional division and name of the functional unit may be used as long as the operation involved in the embodiment of the present invention can be performed.
[0170] The transmitting unit 210 generates a transmission signal according to the transmission data, and transmits the transmission signal wirelessly.

[0201] In this specification, a specific action that is assumed to be performed by the base station 10 may also be performed by its upper node depending on the situation. In a network composed of one or more network nodes having the base station 10, various actions performed to communicate with the terminal 20 can be performed by at least one of the base station 10 and other network nodes other than the base station 10 (for example, MME or S-GW, etc., but not limited to these). In the above, the case where there is one other network node other than the base station 10 is illustrated, but the other network node may also be a combination of multiple other network nodes (for example, MME and S-GW).
[0202] The information or signal described in the present disclosure can be output from a high layer (or a low layer) to a low layer (or a high layer), and can also be input or output via a plurality of network nodes.
[0203] The input or output information can be stored in a specific location (e.g., memory) or managed using a management table. The input or output information can be rewritten, updated, or appended. The output information can also be deleted. The input information can also be sent to other devices.

[0211] The names used for the above parameters are not limiting in any respect. Furthermore, the formulas etc. using these parameters may sometimes differ from those explicitly disclosed in this disclosure. Since various channels (e.g., PUCCH, PDCCH, etc.) and information elements may be identified by all appropriate names, the various names assigned to these various channels and information elements are not limiting in any respect.

[0213] A base station can accommodate one or more (for example, 3) cells. When a base station accommodates multiple cells, the overall coverage area of the base station can be divided into multiple smaller areas, and each smaller area can also provide communication services through a base station subsystem (for example, a small base station for indoor use (RRH: Remote Radio Head)). Terms such as "cell" or "sector" refer to a part or the entirety of the coverage area of at least one of a base station and a base station subsystem that provide communication services within the coverage area.

For example, at least one of the base station and the mobile station may be an IoT (Internet of Things) device such as a sensor.
[0217] In addition, the base station in the present disclosure may also be replaced by a user terminal. For example, various forms / implementations of the present disclosure may also be applied to a structure in which the communication between a base station and a user terminal is replaced by the communication between multiple terminals 20 (for example, it may also be referred to as D2D (Device-to-Device), V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything), etc.). In this case, it may also be configured that the terminal 20 has the functions possessed by the above-mentioned base station 10. In addition, terms such as "uplink" and "downlink" may also be replaced by terms corresponding to communication between terminals (for example, "side"). For example, uplink channels, downlink channels, etc. may also be replaced by side channels.
[0218] Likewise, the user terminal in the present disclosure may be replaced by a base station. In this case, the base station may also have the functions of the user terminal described above.
[0219] The terms "determining" and "determining" used in the present disclosure sometimes also include a variety of actions. "Judgment" and "determination" may include, for example, considering matters that have been judged, calculated, calculated, processed, derived, investigated, searched (for example, searched in a table, database or other data structure), confirmed (ascertaining) as matters that have been "judged" or "determined", etc. In addition, "judgment" and "determination" may include matters that have been received (for example, receiving information), transmitted (for example, sending information), input, output, accessed (for example, accessing data in memory) as matters that have been "judged" or "determined", etc. In addition, "judgment" and "determination" may include matters that have been resolved (resolving), selected (selecting), chosen (choosing), established (establishing), compared (comparing), etc. as matters that have been "judged" or "determined". That is, "judgment" and "decision" can include matters that are considered to be "judged" and "decided". In addition, "judgment (decision)" can also be replaced by "assuming", "expecting", "considering", etc.
[0220] The terms "connected", "coupled" or all variations of these terms are intended to indicate any direct or indirect connection or combination between two or more elements, and may include the situation where there is one or more intermediate elements between two elements that are "connected" or "coupled" to each other. The combination or connection between elements may be a physical combination or connection, a logical combination or connection, or a combination of these. For example, "access" may be used to replace "connection". In the context of the present disclosure, two elements may be considered to be "connected" or "coupled" to each other using at least one of one or more wires, cables, and printed electrical connections, and as some non-limiting and non-inclusive examples, electromagnetic energy having wavelengths in the wireless frequency domain, microwave region, and light (both visible and invisible) region may be used to "connect" or "couple" to each other.
[0221] The reference signal may be referred to as RS (Reference Signal) for short, or may be referred to as a pilot signal according to the applied standard.
[0222] The phrase "according to" used in the present disclosure does not mean "only according to" unless otherwise expressly stated. In other words, the phrase "according to" means both "only according to" and "at least according to".
[0223] Any reference to an element using the designations "first", "second", etc. used in this disclosure does not necessarily limit the number or order of these elements. These designations can be used as a simple method to distinguish between two or more elements in this disclosure. Therefore, a reference to a first element and a second element does not mean that only two elements can be taken or that the first element must precede the second element in any form.
[0224] The “unit” in the structure of each of the above-mentioned devices may be replaced with a “section”, a “circuit”, a “device” or the like.
[0225] When the terms "include", "including" and their variations are used in the present disclosure, these terms are intended to be inclusive like the term "comprising". Furthermore, the term "or" used in the present disclosure does not mean an exclusive or.
[0226] A radio frame may be composed of one or more frames in the time domain. In the time domain, one or more frames may be referred to as subframes. A subframe may further be composed of one or more time slots in the time domain. A subframe may also be a fixed time length (e.g., 1 ms) that is independent of a numerology.
[0227] A parameter set may be a communication parameter applied to at least one of the transmission and reception of a certain signal or channel. The parameter set may, for example, represent at least one of subcarrier spacing (SCS), bandwidth, symbol length, cyclic prefix length, transmission time interval (TTI), number of symbols per TTI, radio frame structure, specific filtering processing performed by the transceiver in the frequency domain, specific windowing processing performed by the transceiver in the time domain, and the like.
[0228] A slot may be composed of one or more symbols (OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) symbols, SC-FDMA (Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access) symbols, etc.) in the time domain. A slot may be a time unit based on a parameter set.
[0229] A time slot may contain multiple mini-slots. Each mini-slot may be composed of one or more symbols in the time domain. In addition, a mini-slot may also be referred to as a sub-slot. A mini-slot may be composed of fewer symbols than a time slot. A PDSCH (or PUSCH) transmitted in units of time greater than a mini-slot may be referred to as a PDSCH (or PUSCH) mapping type A. A PDSCH (or PUSCH) transmitted using a mini-slot may be referred to as a PDSCH (or PUSCH) mapping type B.
[0230] A radio frame, a subframe, a time slot, a mini-time slot, and a symbol all represent time units for transmitting signals. A radio frame, a subframe, a time slot, a mini-time slot, and a symbol may be referred to by other corresponding names.
[0231] For example, one subframe may also be referred to as a transmission time interval (TTI), multiple consecutive subframes may also be referred to as a TTI, and one time slot or one mini time slot may also be referred to as a TTI. That is, at least one of a subframe and a TTI may be a subframe (1ms) in existing LTE, a period shorter than 1ms (e.g., 1-13 symbols), or a period longer than 1ms. In addition, the unit representing a TTI may not be referred to as a subframe, but may be referred to as a time slot, a mini time slot, or the like.
[0232] Here, TTI refers to, for example, the minimum time unit for scheduling in wireless communication. For example, in the LTE system, the base station schedules each terminal 20 to allocate wireless resources (frequency bandwidth, transmission power, etc. that can be used in each terminal 20) in units of TTI. In addition, the definition of TTI is not limited to this.
[0233] TTI can be a transmission time unit for data packets (transport blocks), code blocks, code words, etc. after channel coding, and can also be a processing unit for scheduling, link adaptation, etc. In addition, when TTI is given, the time interval (e.g., the number of symbols) to which the transport block, code block, code word, etc. is actually mapped can be shorter than the TTI.
[0234] In addition, when 1 time slot or 1 mini time slot is called TTI, more than one TTI (i.e., more than one time slot or more than one mini time slot) can constitute the minimum time unit of scheduling. In addition, the number of time slots (number of mini time slots) constituting the minimum time unit of scheduling can be controlled.
[0235] A TTI having a time length of 1 ms may also be referred to as a normal TTI (TTI in LTE Rel.8-12), a normal TTI, a long TTI, a normal subframe, a normal subframe, a long subframe, a time slot, etc. A TTI shorter than a normal TTI may be referred to as a shortened TTI, a short TTI, a partial or fractional TTI, a shortened subframe, a short subframe, a mini-time slot, a sub-time slot, a time slot, etc.
[0236] In addition, for a long TTI (for example, a normal TTI, a subframe, etc.), it can be replaced with a TTI having a time length exceeding 1ms, and for a short TTI (for example, a shortened TTI, etc.), it can be replaced with a TTI length that is smaller than the long TTI (longTTI) and has a TTI length of more than 1ms.
[0237] A resource block (RB) is a resource allocation unit in the time domain and the frequency domain. In the frequency domain, it may contain one or more consecutive subcarriers. The number of subcarriers contained in an RB may be the same regardless of the parameter set, for example, it may be 12. The number of subcarriers contained in an RB may also be determined according to the parameter set.
[0238] In addition, the time domain of an RB may include one or more symbols, and may be the length of 1 slot, 1 mini slot, 1 subframe, or 1 TTI. 1 TTI, 1 subframe, etc. may be composed of one or more resource blocks, respectively.
[0239] In addition, one or more RBs may be referred to as a physical resource block (PRB: Physical RB), a sub-carrier group (SCG: Sub-Carrier Group), a resource element group (REG: Resource Element Group), a PRB pair, an RB pair, and the like.
[0240] In addition, a resource block may be composed of one or more resource elements (REs). For example, 1 RE may be a radio resource region of 1 subcarrier and 1 symbol.
[0241] A bandwidth part (BWP) (which may be referred to as a partial bandwidth, etc.) may represent a subset of contiguous common RBs (common resource blocks) for a parameter set in a carrier. Here, the common RBs may be identified by the index of the RBs relative to the common reference point of the carrier. PRBs may be defined in a BWP and numbered within the BWP.
[0242] The BWP may include a BWP for UL (UL BWP) and a BWP for DL (DL BWP). One or more BWPs may be set for the terminal 20 within one carrier.
[0243] At least one of the set BWPs may be active, and it is not assumed that the terminal 20 transmits and receives a predetermined signal / channel outside the activated BWP. In addition, "cell", "carrier" and the like in the present disclosure may be replaced with "BWP".
[0244] The above structures of radio frames, subframes, time slots, mini-time slots, and symbols are only examples. For example, the number of subframes included in a radio frame, the number of time slots per subframe or radio frame, the number of mini-time slots included in a time slot, the number of symbols and RBs included in a time slot or mini-time slot, the number of subcarriers included in an RB, the number of symbols in a TTI, the symbol length, the cyclic prefix (CP: Cyclic Prefix) length, and the like can be changed in various ways.
[0245] In the present disclosure, when an article is added by translation, such as a, an, and the in English, for example, the present disclosure may also include a case where the noun following the article is in a plural form.
[0246] In the present disclosure, the term "A is different from B" may also mean "A and B are different from each other". In addition, the term may also mean "A and B are different from C, respectively". The terms "separate" and "combined" may also be interpreted in the same way as "different".
[0247] Each form / implementation described in the present disclosure may be used alone or in combination, and may be switched according to execution. In addition, notification of scheduled information is not limited to being performed explicitly (e.g., notification of "yes X"), but may also be performed implicitly (e.g., notification of the scheduled information is not performed).
[0248] In addition, in the present disclosure, PSCCH / PSSCH is an example of data.
[0249] The present disclosure is described in detail above, but it should be clear to those skilled in the art that the present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments described in the present disclosure. The present disclosure can be implemented as a modification and variation without departing from the subject matter and scope of the present disclosure as determined by the claims. Therefore, the purpose of the description of the present disclosure is to illustrate and not to have any limiting meaning on the present disclosure.
