[0038] In the present disclosure, "A or B" may mean "only A", "only B", or "both A and B". In other words, in the present disclosure, "A or B" may be interpreted as "A and / or B". For example, in the present disclosure, "A, B or C" may mean "only A", "only B", "only C", or "any combination of A, B, and C".

[0039] As used in this disclosure, a slash ( / ) or a comma may mean "and / or." For example, "A / B" may mean "A and / or B." Thus, "A / B" may mean "only A," "only B," or "both A and B." For example, "A, B, C" may mean "A, B, or C."

[0040] In the present disclosure, “at least one of A and B” may mean “only A”, “only B”, or “both A and B”. In addition, in the present disclosure, the expression “at least one of A or B” or “at least one of A and / or B” may be interpreted as “at least one of A and B”.

[0041] In addition, in the present disclosure, “at least one of A, B, and C” may mean “only A,” “only B,” “only C,” or “any combination of A, B, and C.” In addition, “at least one of A, B, or C” or “at least one of A, B, and / or C” may mean “at least one of A, B, and C.”

[0042] In addition, the brackets used in the present disclosure may mean "for example". Specifically, when it is indicated as "control information (PDCCH)", this may mean that "PDCCH" is proposed as an example of "control information". In other words, the "control information" of the present disclosure is not limited to "PDCCH", and "PDDCH" may be proposed as an example of "control information". Specifically, when it is indicated as "control information (i.e., PDCCH)", this may also mean that "PDCCH" is proposed as an example of "control information".

[0043] In the following description, “when, if, or in the event of” may be replaced with “based on”.

[0044] The technical features respectively described in one drawing in the present disclosure may be implemented separately or may be implemented simultaneously.

[0045] In the present disclosure, a high-layer parameter may be a parameter configured, preconfigured, or predefined for a UE. For example, a base station or a network may send the high-layer parameter to the UE. For example, the high-layer parameter may be sent via radio resource control (RRC) signaling or medium access control (MAC) signaling.

[0046] In the present disclosure, “configuration / configured or defined / defined” may be interpreted as being configured or pre-configured for a device through predefined signaling (e.g., SIB, MAC, RRC) from a base station or network. In the present disclosure, “configuration / configured or defined / defined” may be interpreted as being pre-configured for a device.

[0047] The techniques described below may 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), and the like. CDMA may be implemented using radio technologies such as Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (UTRA) or CDMA-2000. TDMA may 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 may 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), Long Term Evolution (LTE), 5G NR, and the like.

[0048] The technology proposed in this disclosure can be implemented as 6G wireless technology and can be applied to various 6G systems. For example, the 6G system may have key factors such as enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC), massive machine type communication (mMTC), artificial intelligence (AI) integrated communication, tactile Internet, high throughput, high network capacity, high energy efficiency, low backhaul and access network congestion, and enhanced data security.

[0049] Figure 1 The following illustrates a communication structure that may be provided in a 6G system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 The embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0050] In 6G, new network features can be as follows.

[0051] -Satellite integrated network

[0052] -Connected Intelligence: Unlike previous generations of wireless communication systems, 6G is innovative, and wireless evolution may be updated from "connected things" to "connected intelligence." AI can be applied at every step of the communication process (or every signal processing process described below).

[0053] -Seamless integration of wireless information and energy transfer.

[0054] -Ubiquitous Hyper-3D Connectivity: Access to networks and core network functions from drones and very low Earth orbit satellites will establish hyper-3D connectivity in 6G ubiquity.

[0055] Among the new network features of 6G, several general requirements are as follows.

[0056] -Small cell network

[0057] -Ultra-dense heterogeneous network

[0058] - High capacity backhaul

[0059] - Radar technology integrated with mobile technology: High-precision positioning (or location-based services) through communication is one of the functions of 6G wireless communication systems. Therefore, radar systems will be integrated with 6G networks.

[0060] -Software and virtualization.

[0061] The following describes the core implementation technologies of the 6G system.

[0062] Artificial Intelligence (AI): When AI is introduced into communications, real-time data transmission can be simplified and improved. AI can use countless analyses to determine how to perform complex target tasks. This means AI can increase efficiency and reduce processing latency. Time-consuming operations such as handovers, network selection, and resource scheduling can be performed instantly with AI. AI can also play a significant role in M2M, machine-to-human, and human-to-machine communications. Furthermore, AI could enable instant communication in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). AI-based communication systems can be supported by metamaterials, smart structures, smart networks, smart devices, intelligent cognitive radios, self-maintaining wireless networks, and machine learning.

[0063] -THz communication: Data rates can be increased by increasing bandwidth. This can be achieved by using sub-TH communication with wide bandwidth and applying advanced massive MIMO technology. THz waves are called submillimeter radiation, generally indicating a frequency band between 0.1THz and 10THz with corresponding wavelengths in the range of 0.03mm to 3mm. The band range of 100GHz to 300GHz (sub-THz band) is considered to be the main part of the THz band for cellular communications. When the sub-THz band is added to the millimeter wave band, the 6G cellular communication capacity increases. The defined THz band of 300GHz to 3THz is in the far infrared (IR) band. The band of 300GHz to 3THz is part of the optical band, but is located at the boundary of the optical band and immediately after the RF band. Therefore, the band of 300GHz to 3THz has similarities with RF. Figure 2 The electromagnetic spectrum according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 2 The embodiments of the present disclosure can be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure. The main features of THz communication include (i) a wide range of bandwidths that can be used to support very high data rates; and (ii) high path loss at high frequencies (highly directional antennas are essential). The narrow beamwidth generated in highly directional antennas reduces interference. The small wavelength of THz signals allows a larger number of antenna elements to be integrated with devices and base stations operating in this band. Therefore, advanced adaptive placement techniques that can overcome range limitations can be used.

[0064] - Massive MIMO technology (Large MIMO)

[0065] -Holographic Beamforming (HBF)

[0066] -Optical wireless technology

[0067] -Free Space Optical (FSO) Backhaul Network

[0068] -Quantum communication

[0069] - No cellular communication

[0070] -Integration of wireless information and power transmission

[0071] -Integration of wireless communication and sensing

[0072] -Integrated access and backhaul network

[0073] -Big data analysis

[0074] -Reconfigurable smart surface

[0075] -Metaverse

[0076] -Blockchain

[0077] Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs): UAVs, or drones, will be a key factor in 6G wireless communications. In most cases, UAV technology can provide high-speed data wireless connectivity. A base station (BS) entity is installed within the UAV to provide cellular connectivity. UAVs offer certain features not found in fixed BS infrastructure, such as ease of deployment, robust line-of-sight links, and the freedom of mobility control. During emergencies such as natural disasters, deploying terrestrial telecommunications infrastructure is economically unfeasible and sometimes unable to provide services in turbulent environments. UAVs can easily handle such situations. UAVs will become a new paradigm in wireless communications. This technology facilitates the three fundamental requirements of wireless networks, such as eMBB, URLLC, and mMTC. UAVs can also serve a variety of purposes, such as improving network connectivity, fire detection, disaster response services, security and monitoring, pollution monitoring, parking monitoring, and accident detection. Therefore, UAV technology is recognized as one of the most important technologies for 6G communications.

[0078] -Advanced Air Mobility (AAM): AAM is a general concept of Urban Air Mobility (UAM), which is air transportation that can be used in urban areas and can refer to transportation tools including movement between urban areas and regional hubs.

[0079] -Autonomous driving (self-driving): Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) is a core element for building autonomous driving infrastructure. It can be a technology that allows vehicles to communicate and share information with various road elements, such as vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I). To maximize the performance of autonomous driving and ensure high safety, high transmission speeds and low latency technologies are essential. In the future, autonomous driving may need to go beyond delivering warnings or guidance messages to the driver and actively intervene in vehicle operations and directly control the vehicle in dangerous situations. To this end, since the amount of information that needs to be sent and received may be enormous, autonomous driving is expected to be maximized in 6G, which has higher transmission speeds and lower latency than 5G.

[0080] - Non-terrestrial network (NTN): NTN may refer to a network or network segment that utilizes radio frequency (RF) resources on a satellite (or unmanned aerial system (UAS) platform). Figure 3 An example of a typical NTN scenario based on transparent payload according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 4 An example of a typical NTN scenario based on regeneration payload according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 3 or Figure 4 The embodiments of can be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 3 , a satellite (or UAS platform) can establish a service link with the UE. The satellite (or UAS platform) can be connected to the gateway via a feeder link. The satellite can be connected to the data network via the gateway. The beam coverage area can refer to the area where the signal sent by the satellite can be received. Figure 4 , a satellite (or UAS platform) can establish a service link with the UE. The satellite (or UAS platform) connected to the UE can be connected to another satellite (or another UAS platform) via an inter-satellite link (ISL). The other satellite (or another UAS platform) can be connected to the gateway via a feeder link. Based on the regenerative payload, the satellite can be connected to the data network through the gateway and another satellite. If there is no ISL between the satellite and the other satellite, a feeder link between the satellite and the gateway may be required. Figure 3 and Figure 4 This is only an example of an NTN scenario, and NTN can be implemented based on various types of scenarios. For example, a satellite (or UAS platform) can implement a transparent or regenerative (with on-board processing) payload. For example, a satellite (or UAS platform) can generate multiple beams over a specified service area based on the field of view of the satellite (or UAS platform). For example, the field of view of the satellite (or UAS platform) can vary according to the on-board antenna pattern and minimum elevation angle. For example, a transparent payload may include RF filtering, frequency conversion, and amplification. Therefore, the waveform signal repeated by the payload may not be changed. For example, a regenerative payload may include RF filtering, frequency conversion and amplification, demodulation / decryption, switching and / or routing, and coding / modulation. For example, a regenerative payload may be substantially equivalent to equipping a satellite (or UAS platform) with all or part of the base station functionality.

[0081] Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC): Wireless sensing is a technology enabler for acquiring information about the characteristics of the environment and / or objects within it, using radio frequency to determine, for example, the distance (range), angle, or instantaneous linear velocity of an object. RF sensing capabilities can provide services for device-free object positioning, as objects do not need to be connected via a device in the network. The ability to obtain range, velocity, and angle information from RF signals can provide a wide range of new capabilities, such as various object detection and object identification (e.g., vehicles, people, animals, drones), as well as high-precision positioning, tracking, and activity recognition. For example, wireless sensing services can provide input to various verticals (e.g., unmanned aerial vehicles, smart homes, V2X, factories, railways, public safety, etc.), enabling applications such as intruder detection, assisted vehicle maneuvering and navigation, trajectory tracking, collision avoidance, traffic management, and health and activity monitoring. In some cases, wireless sensing can also use non-3GPP sensors (e.g., radar, cameras) to further support 3GPP-based sensing. For example, the operation of wireless sensing services (i.e., sensing operations) can rely on processing the transmission, reflection, and scattering of wireless sensing signals. Therefore, wireless sensing may have the opportunity to enhance the traditional system from a communication network to a wireless communication and sensing network. Figure 5 An example of a sensing operation according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 5 The embodiments of can be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure. Specifically, Figure 5 (a) shows an example of sensing with a co-located sensing receiver and sensing transmitter (eg, monostatic sensing), and Figure 5 (b) shows an example of sensing with separate sensing receivers and sensing transmitters (eg, bistatic sensing).

[0082] The radio interface protocol layers between the UE and the network can be categorized as Layer 1 (L1), Layer 2 (L2), and Layer 3 (L3) based on the lower three layers of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model, which is well known in communication systems. The physical (PHY) layer, belonging to Layer 1, provides information transmission services using physical channels, and the radio resource control (RRC) layer, located at Layer 3, controls radio resources between the UE and the network. To this end, the RRC layer exchanges RRC messages between the UE and the base station layer.

[0083] The physical layer provides information transfer services to upper layers via physical channels. The physical layer is connected to the media access control (MAC) layer, its upper layer, via transport channels. Data is transferred between the MAC and physical layers via transport channels. Transport channels are categorized based on how data is transmitted over the radio interface and the characteristics of the data being transmitted.

[0084] Data is transmitted between different physical layers (ie, a PHY layer of a transmitter and a PHY layer of a receiver) through a physical channel. The physical channel may be modulated using an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) scheme and uses time and frequency as radio resources.

[0085] The MAC layer provides services to the Radio Link Control (RLC) layer, a higher layer above the MAC layer, via logical channels. The MAC layer maps multiple logical channels to multiple transport channels. The MAC layer also provides logical channel multiplexing by mapping multiple logical channels to a single transport channel. The MAC layer provides data transmission services via logical channels.

[0086] The RLC layer performs concatenation, segmentation, and reassembly of radio link control service data units (RLC SDUs). To ensure the different quality of service (QoS) required for radio bearers (RBs), the RLC layer provides three types of operation modes: transparent mode (TM), unacknowledged mode (UM), and acknowledged mode (AM). AM RLC provides error correction through automatic repeat request (ARQ).

[0087] The Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer is defined only in the control plane. The RRC layer controls logical channels, transport channels, and physical channels associated with the configuration, reconfiguration, and release of resource allocation (RBs). RBs are logical paths for data transfer between the UE and the network, provided by Layer 1 (i.e., the physical or PHY layer) and Layer 2 (i.e., the MAC layer, RLC layer, Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP), and Service Data Adaptation Protocol (SDAP) layers).

[0088] The functions of the Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) in the user plane include transmission of user data, header compression and encryption. The functions of the Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) in the control plane include transmission and encryption / integrity protection of control plane data.

[0089] 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.

[0090] RB configuration refers to the process of specifying radio protocol layers and channel attributes to provide a specific service and determining corresponding detailed parameters and operation methods. RBs can be classified into two types: signaling radio bearers (SRBs) and data radio bearers (DRBs). SRBs are used as a path for transmitting RRC messages in the control plane, and DRBs are used as a path for transmitting user data in the user plane.

[0091] When an 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 may be in the RRC idle (RRC_IDLE) state. In the case of NR, an RRC inactive (RRC_INACTIVE) state is additionally defined, and the UE in the RRC_INACTIVE state may maintain its connection with the core network while releasing its connection with the BS.

[0092] Data is sent from the network to the UE via a downlink transport channel. Examples of downlink transport channels include a broadcast channel (BCH) for transmitting system information and a downlink shared channel (SCH) for transmitting other user traffic or control messages. Traffic or control messages for downlink multicast or broadcast services may be sent via the downlink SCH or may be sent via a separate downlink multicast channel (MCH). In addition, uplink transport 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 traffic or control messages.

[0093] 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.

[0094] A radio frame can be used to perform uplink and downlink transmissions. A radio frame has a length of 10 ms and can be defined as consisting of two half frames (HFs). A half frame can include five 1 ms subframes (SFs). A subframe (SF) can be divided into one or more time slots, and the number of time slots within a subframe can be determined by the subcarrier spacing (SCS). Each time slot can include 12 or 14 OFDM (A) symbols depending on the cyclic prefix (CP).

[0095] When using a normal CP, each time slot can include 14 symbols. When using an extended CP, each time slot can 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).

[0096] Table 2 shown below shows the number of symbols (N) per slot based on the SCS configuration (μ) in the case of using a normal CP or an extended CP. slot symb ), the number of time slots per frame (N frame,μslot ) and the number of time slots per subframe (N subframe ,μ slot ).

[0097] [Table 2]

[0098]

[0099] Figure 6 The structure of the time slot of the NR frame according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 6 The embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0100] Reference Figure 6 , a time slot includes multiple symbols in the time domain. A carrier includes multiple subcarriers in the frequency domain. A resource block (RB) can be defined as a plurality of consecutive subcarriers in the frequency domain (e.g., 12 subcarriers). A bandwidth part (BWP) can be defined as a plurality of 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 activated BWPs. 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.

[0101] A bandwidth part (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.

[0102] 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. Figure 7 In an embodiment of the present invention, the number of BWPs is 3.

[0103] Reference Figure 7 , Common Resource Blocks (CRBs) may be carrier resource blocks numbered from one end of the carrier frequency band to the other. Additionally, PRBs may be resource blocks numbered within each BWP. Point A may indicate a common reference point for the resource block grid.

[0104] It can be obtained by point A, the offset relative to point A (N start BWP ) and bandwidth (N size BWP) to configure the BWP. For example, point A can be an external reference point of the PRBs of a carrier, and subcarrier 0 of all parameter sets (e.g., all parameter sets supported by the network on the corresponding carrier) is aligned in point A. For example, the offset can be the PRB distance between the lowest subcarrier in a given parameter set and point A. For example, the bandwidth can be the number of PRBs in a given parameter set.

[0105] The side link synchronization signal (SLSS) may include a primary side link synchronization signal (PSSS) and a secondary side link synchronization signal (SSSS) as a side link (SL) specific sequence. 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 synchronization acquisition. For example, the UE may use the S-PSS and the S-SSS for acquisition of detailed synchronization and for detection of a synchronization signal ID.

[0106] The physical sidelink broadcast channel (PSBCH) can be a (broadcast) channel for transmitting default (system) information, which must be known by the UE 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 a 24-bit cyclic redundancy check (CRC).

[0107] S-PSS, S-SSS and PSBCH can 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 can 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 can exist within the (pre) configured sidelink (SL) BWP. For example, the S-SSB can have a bandwidth of 11 resource blocks (SBs). For example, the PSBCH can exist across 11 RBs. In addition, the frequency position of the S-SSB can be (pre) configured. Therefore, the UE does not have to perform hypothesis detection at the frequency to discover the S-SSB in the carrier.

[0108] In the present disclosure, PSCCH may be replaced by a control channel, a physical control channel, a control channel associated with a sidelink, a physical control channel associated with a sidelink, etc. In the present disclosure, PSSCH may be replaced by a shared channel, a physical shared channel, a shared channel associated with a sidelink, a physical shared channel associated with a sidelink, etc.

[0109] Figure 8 A process of performing V2X or SL communication by a UE based on a resource allocation mode according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 8 The embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0110] Reference Figure 8 (a), in resource allocation mode 1, the base station may schedule SL resources to be used by the UE for SL transmission. For example, in step S800, the base station may send information related to the SL resources and / or information related to the UL resources to the first UE. For example, the UL resources may include PUCCH resources and / or PUSCH resources. For example, the UL resources may be resources used to report SL HARQ feedback to the base station.

[0111] For example, the first UE may receive information related to dynamic grant (DG) resources and / or information related to configuration grant (CG) resources from the base station. For example, the CG resources may include CG type 1 resources or CG type 2 resources. In the present disclosure, the DG resources may be resources configured / allocated to the first UE by the base station through downlink control information (DCI). In the present disclosure, the CG resources may be (periodic) resources configured / allocated to the first UE by the base station through DCI and / or RRC messages. For example, in the case of CG type 1 resources, the base station may send an RRC message including information related to the CG resources to the first UE. For example, in the case of CG type 2 resources, the base station may send an RRC message including information related to the CG resources to the first UE, and the base station may send a DCI related to the activation or release of the CG resources to the first UE.

[0112] In step S810, the first UE may send a PSCCH (e.g., sidelink control information (SCI) or first-level SCI) to the second UE based on resource scheduling. In step S820, the first UE may send a PSSCH (e.g., second-level SCI, MAC PDU, data, etc.) related to the PSCCH to the second UE. In step S830, the first UE may receive a PSFCH related to the PSCCH / PSSCH from the second UE. For example, HARQ feedback information (e.g., NACK information or ACK information) may be received from the second UE via the PSFCH. In step S840, the first UE may send / report the HARQ feedback information to the base station via the PUCCH or PUSCH. For example, the HARQ feedback information reported to the base station may be information generated by the first UE based on the HARQ feedback information received from the second UE. For example, the HARQ feedback information reported to the base station may be information generated by the first UE based on a preconfigured rule. For example, the DCI may be DCI for SL scheduling.

[0113] Reference Figure 8 (b) in resource allocation mode 2, the UE may determine the SL transmission resources within the SL resources configured by the base station / network or the preconfigured SL resources. For example, the configured SL resources or the preconfigured 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 within the configured resource pool. For example, the UE may autonomously select resources within a selection window by performing a sensing process and a resource (re)selection process. For example, sensing may be performed in units of subchannels. For example, in step S810, the first UE, which has selected resources from the resource pool by itself, may send a PSCCH (e.g., sidelink control information (SCI) or a first-level SCI) to a second UE by using the resources. In step S820, the first UE may send a PSSCH (e.g., a second-level SCI, a MAC PDU, data, etc.) related to the PSCCH to the second UE. In step S830, the first UE may receive a PSFCH related to the PSCCH / PSSCH from the second UE.

[0114] Reference Figure 8(a) or (b), for example, the first UE may send the SCI to the second UE via the PSCCH. Alternatively, for example, the first UE may send two consecutive SCIs (e.g., level 2 SCIs) to the second UE via the PSCCH and / or PSSCH. In this case, the second UE may decode the two consecutive SCIs (e.g., level 2 SCIs) to receive the PSSCH from the first UE. In the present disclosure, the SCI sent via the PSCCH may be referred to as the first SCI, the first SCI, the first level SCI, or the first level SCI format, and the SCI sent via the PSSCH may be referred to as the second SCI, the second SCI, the second level SCI, or the second level SCI format.

[0115] Reference Figure 8 (a) or (b), in step S830, the first UE may receive the PSFCH. For example, the first UE and the second UE may determine the PSFCH resources, and the second UE may use the PSFCH resources to send HARQ feedback to the first UE.

[0116] Reference Figure 8 (a), in step S840, the first UE may send SL HARQ feedback to the base station via PUCCH and / or PUSCH.

[0117] Figure 9 An example of a wireless communication environment according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 9 The embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0118] Reference Figure 9 , a first device (910), a second device (920), and a third device (930) are shown as a part of a device using a wireless channel in a wireless communication system. Figure 9 Only one first device (910), one second device (920), and one third device (930) are shown, but are not limited thereto.

[0119] According to the present disclosure, the first device (910), the second device (920) and / or the third device (930) can transmit and receive wireless signals in the millimeter wave (mmWave) frequency band. For example, in order to improve channel gain, the first device (910), the second device (920) and / or the third device (930) can perform beamforming. Here, beamforming can include transmit beamforming and receive beamforming. For example, the first device (910), the second device (920) and / or the third device (930) can provide directionality to the transmitted signal or the received signal. For example, the first device (910), the second device (920) and / or the third device (930) can select a service beam (912, 913, 921, 931) through a beam search or beam management process. After selecting the service beam (912, 913, 921, 931), communication can be performed through a resource that is quasi-co-located (QCL) with the resource that transmits the service beam.

[0120] According to the present disclosure, the first device (910), the second device (920), and / or the third device (930) may include an antenna array. Each antenna included in the antenna array may be referred to as an array element or an antenna element. The antenna array may be configured in various forms, such as a linear array or a multi-layer array. The antenna array may be referred to as a large-scale antenna array. For example, the antenna array may include multiple sub-arrays, each sub-array including multiple antenna elements.

[0121] For example, beam management operations in millimeter wave frequencies have recently been introduced into conventional NR Uu (operations between base stations and UEs). For example, beam management operations may include beam scheduling, beam selection, beam failure recovery, etc. In the present disclosure, beam management operations (e.g., beam failure recovery) are proposed as follows. For example, the following proposals may relate to beam management operations in NR. In addition, the following proposals are not limited to NR. For example, the following proposals may relate to beam management operations in the side link. In addition, the following proposals are not limited to the side link. For example, the following proposals may relate to beam management operations in the NR side link.

[0122] The UE may perform FR2 (millimeter wave frequency-based communication) operations based on the following operations. For example, FR2 may be sidelink FR2. For example, sidelink FR2 may refer to sidelink-based communication using sidelink millimeter wave frequencies. In addition, the following operations are not limited to sidelink FR2. The present disclosure is not limited to sidelink FR2. For example, the present disclosure may be applicable to 5G FR2 or beyond 5G FR2 (e.g., 6G FR2).

[0123] -Beam scanning operation: The UE may perform an operation by scanning beams used for communication to find the best beam (e.g., transmit beam, receive beam). For example, communication during the beam scanning operation may be sidelink communication.

[0124] -Beam measurement operation: The UE may perform an operation to find a reference signal (RS) whose measurement value exceeds a threshold when measuring an RS transmitted by a peer UE.

[0125] -Beam selection operation: The UE may perform an operation to select the best beam (eg, transmit beam, receive beam) based on beam measurement results.

[0126] -Beam reporting operation: The UE may perform an operation to report the selected best beam to a peer UE or a base station.

[0127] Figure 10 A beam failure recovery process according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 10 The embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0128] Reference Figure 10 , when the UE has detected that the failure of the beam used for communication is greater than or equal to a threshold, the UE may trigger a beam failure recovery process to recover the beam. For example, when the UE has detected that the failure of the beam used for sidelink communication is greater than or equal to a threshold, the UE may trigger a sidelink beam failure recovery process to recover the beam. For example, when the beam failure instance that the MAC layer of the UE has received from the physical layer is greater than or equal to a threshold, the UE may trigger a beam failure recovery process to recover the beam. For example, the MAC layer of the UE may execute a process of triggering a beam failure recovery process to recover the beam. For example, when the beam failure instance that the MAC layer of the UE has received from the physical layer is greater than or equal to a threshold, the UE may trigger a sidelink beam failure recovery process to recover the beam. For example, the MAC layer of the UE may execute a process of triggering a sidelink beam failure recovery process to recover the beam. The present disclosure has been described with respect to sidelink beam failure, but is not limited thereto. For example, the present disclosure may be applied not only to sidelink beam failure, but also to beam failures other than sidelink beam failure.

[0129] exist Figure 10For example, the MAC layer may be configured by the RRC with a beam failure recovery procedure for indicating when a beam failure is detected. For example, beam failure may be detected by counting beam failure instance indications from a lower layer to the MAC entity. For example, the RRC may configure a beam failure instance maximum count and a beam failure detection timer. For example, if a beam failure instance indication has been received from a lower layer, the MAC entity may start or restart a beam failure detection timer. For example, if a beam failure instance indication has been received from a lower layer, the MAC entity may increment the beam failure instance counter by 1. For example, if the beam failure instance counter is greater than or equal to the beam failure instance maximum count, the MAC entity may detect a beam failure. For example, if the beam failure instance counter is greater than or equal to the beam failure instance maximum count, the MAC entity may trigger beam failure recovery. For example, if the beam failure detection timer expires, the MAC entity may set the beam failure instance counter to zero.

[0130] The transmitting UE may create a grant for data transmission. For example, the transmitting UE may create a sidelink grant for sidelink data transmission. The transmitting UE may select and reserve initial transmission resources and retransmission resources together when generating or selecting transmission resources, and indicate the reserved transmission resource information in the control information to transmit it to the receiving UE. For example, the transmitting UE may select and reserve initial transmission resources and retransmission resources together when generating or selecting transmission resources, and indicate the reserved transmission resource information in the sidelink control information (SCI) to transmit it to the receiving UE. If the transmitting UE has detected a beam failure once or above a threshold during data transmission, the transmitting UE may not use the transmission resources indicated by the control information (or the transmission resources reserved or selected before being indicated to the receiving UE by the control information). For example, if the transmitting UE detects a sidelink beam failure once or above a threshold during sidelink data transmission, the transmitting UE may not use the transmission resources indicated by the SCI (or the transmission resources reserved or selected before being indicated to the receiving UE by the SCI). If the transmitting UE has detected a beam failure once or above a threshold during data transmission, the transmitting UE may skip transmission using the transmission resources indicated by the control information. For example, if the transmitting UE detects that the sidelink beam fails once or is above a threshold during sidelink data transmission, the transmitting UE may skip transmission using the transmission resources indicated by the SCI. For example, the transmitting UE may skip transmission (retransmission) on subsequent transmission (retransmission) resources indicated by the control information. For example, the transmitting UE may skip transmission (retransmission) on subsequent transmission (retransmission) resources indicated by the SCI. For example, the transmitting UE may release a grant associated with the subsequent transmission (retransmission) resources indicated by the control information. For example, the transmitting UE may release a sidelink grant associated with the subsequent transmission (retransmission) resources indicated by the SCI.

[0131] According to the present disclosure, if a transmitting UE receives a beam failure recovery (BFR) MAC CE from a receiving UE before future resources reserved by control information arrive, or if beam failure recovery (BFR) (or BFR MAC CE) is triggered (for example, when the UE receives the BFR MAC CE from a peer UE or triggers the BFR procedure based on the UE's own reference signal measurement), the transmitting UE may not use the transmission resources indicated by the control information (or the transmission resources reserved or selected before being indicated to the receiving UE via the control information). For example, if a transmitting UE receives a BFR MAC CE from a receiving UE before future resources scheduled by an SCI arrive, or if BFR (or BFR MAC CE) is triggered (for example, when the UE receives the BFR MAC CE from a peer UE or triggers the BFR procedure based on the UE's own reference signal measurement), the transmitting UE may not use the transmission resources indicated by the SCI (or the transmission resources reserved or selected before being indicated to the receiving UE via the SCI). If the transmitting UE receives a BFR MAC CE from the receiving UE before the arrival of future resources reserved via control information, or if BFR (or BFR MAC CE) is triggered (e.g., when the UE receives a BFR MAC CE from a peer UE or when the BFR procedure is triggered based on the UE's own reference signal measurement), the transmitting UE may skip transmission using the resources indicated by the control information. For example, if the transmitting UE receives a BFR MAC CE from the receiving UE before the arrival of future resources scheduled via SCI, or if BFR (or BFR MAC CE) is triggered (e.g., when the UE receives a BFR MAC CE from a peer UE or when the BFR procedure is triggered based on the UE's own reference signal measurement), the transmitting UE may skip transmission using the transmission resources indicated by SCI. For example, the transmitting UE may skip transmission (retransmission) on the subsequent transmission (retransmission) resources indicated by the control information. For example, the transmitting UE may skip transmission (retransmission) on the subsequent transmission (retransmission) resources indicated by SCI. For example, the transmitting UE may release a grant associated with the subsequent transmission (retransmission) resources indicated by the control information. For example, the transmitting UE may release the sidelink grant associated with the subsequent (re)transmission resources indicated by the SCI.

[0132] BFR detection can be used to enhance the communication system. To avoid unnecessary resource allocation, failure to receive feedback on the physical feedback channel can be regarded as an ACK.

[0133] Figure 11 A process related to feedback information of a channel associated with beam failure recovery according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 11The embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0134] Reference Figure 11 , the sending UE can create a grant for data transmission. For example, the sending UE can create a sidelink grant for sidelink data transmission. The sending UE can select and reserve initial transmission resources and retransmission resources at the same time when generating or selecting transmission resources, and indicate the reserved transmission resource information to the receiving UE in the control information. For example, the sending UE can select and reserve initial transmission resources and retransmission resources at the same time when generating or selecting transmission resources, and indicate the reserved transmission resource information to the receiving UE in the sidelink control information (SCI). The sending UE can use the reserved transmission resources indicated in the control information to send control information and data to the receiving UE through the physical control channel / physical shared channel. For example, the sending UE can use the reserved transmission resources indicated in the SCI to send SCI and sidelink data to the receiving UE through PSCCH / PSSCH. When a receiving UE receives a MAC PDU with HARQ feedback enabled (e.g., control information indicating that a HARQ feedback option and associated physical shared channel transmission are enabled) through a physical control channel / physical shared channel, if reception of the physical control channel / physical shared channel is successful, the receiving UE may send a HARQ feedback ACK through the physical feedback channel, and if decoding of the physical control channel / physical shared channel fails, a HARQ feedback NACK may be sent through the physical feedback channel. For example, when a receiving UE receives a MAC PDU with HARQ feedback enabled (e.g., SCI indicating that a HARQ feedback option and associated PSSCH transmission are enabled) through a PSCCH / PSSCH, if reception of the PSCCH / PSSCH is successful, the receiving UE may send a HARQ feedback ACK through a PSFCH, and if decoding of the PSCCH / PSSCH fails, a HARQ feedback NACK may be sent through a PSFCH.

[0135] The transmitting UE and / or the receiving UE receives / transmits a physical shared channel, and then, if beam failure recovery (BFR) is triggered before the physical feedback channel is sent / received (e.g., when the UE receives a BFR MAC CE from a peer UE, thereby triggering the UE's own BFR process, or when the UE triggers BFR itself based on the measurement of a reference signal), the transmitting UE and / or the receiving UE may skip the transmission / reception of the physical feedback channel. For example, the transmitting UE and / or the receiving UE receives / transmits a PSSCH, and then, if beam failure recovery (BFR) is triggered before the PSFCH is sent / received (e.g., when the UE receives a BFR MAC CE from a peer UE, thereby triggering the UE's own BFR process, or when the UE triggers BFR itself based on the measurement of a reference signal), the transmitting UE and / or the receiving UE may skip the transmission / reception of the PSFCH. For example, the transmitting UE and / or the receiving UE receives / transmits a physical shared channel, and then, if beam failure recovery (BFR) is triggered before transmitting / receiving a physical feedback channel (e.g., when the UE receives a BFR MAC CE from the peer UE, thereby triggering the UE's own BFR process), the transmitting UE and / or the receiving UE may send pre-configured information (e.g., NACK, ACK, or a special status) to the peer UE. For example, the transmitting UE and / or the receiving UE receives / transmits a PSSCH, and then, if beam failure recovery (BFR) is triggered before transmitting / receiving a PSFCH (e.g., when the UE receives a BFR MAC CE from the peer UE, thereby triggering the UE's own BFR process), the transmitting UE and / or the receiving UE may send pre-configured information (e.g., NACK, ACK, or a special status) to the peer UE. For example, a transmitting UE transmits a physical shared channel, and then, if beam failure recovery (BFR) is triggered before receiving a physical feedback channel (e.g., when the UE receives a BFR MAC CE from a peer UE, thereby triggering the UE's own BFR process, or when the UE triggers BFR itself based on measurement of a reference signal), so that reception of the physical feedback channel is skipped, the transmitting UE may regard the transmitted physical control channel / physical shared channel as NACK (e.g., when operating in NACK-only HARQ feedback mode). For example, a transmitting UE transmits a PSSCH, and then, if beam failure recovery (BFR) is triggered before receiving a PSFCH (e.g., when the UE receives a BFR MAC CE from a peer UE, thereby triggering the UE's own BFR process, or when the UE triggers BFR itself based on measurement of a reference signal), so that reception of the PSFCH is skipped, the transmitting UE may regard the transmitted PSCCH / PSSCH as NACK (e.g., when operating in NACK-only HARQ feedback mode).For example, if a transmitting UE transmits a physical control channel / physical shared channel, and then, if beam failure recovery (BFR) is triggered before receiving a physical feedback channel (e.g., when the UE receives a BFR MAC CE from a peer UE, thereby triggering the UE's own BFR process, or when the UE triggers BFR itself based on reference signal measurement), thereby skipping reception of the physical feedback channel, the transmitting UE may regard the transmitted physical control channel / physical shared channel as an ACK (e.g., when operating in a NACK-only HARQ feedback mode) and flush the corresponding HARQ buffer. For example, if a transmitting UE transmits a PSCCH / PSSCH, and then, if beam failure recovery (BFR) is triggered before receiving a PSFCH (e.g., when the UE receives a BFR MAC CE from a peer UE, thereby triggering the UE's own BFR process, or when the UE triggers BFR itself based on reference signal measurement), thereby skipping reception of the PSFCH, the transmitting UE may regard the transmitted PSCCH / PSSCH as a NACK (e.g., when operating in a NACK-only HARQ feedback mode) and flush the corresponding HARQ buffer.

[0136] Unnecessary resource allocation can be prevented based on BFR detection. Unnecessary resource allocation can be prevented by treating a physical shared channel transmitted based on BFR detection as an ACK. Unnecessary resource allocation can be prevented by treating a failure to receive a physical feedback channel corresponding to a physical shared channel based on BFR detection as an ACK. HARQ buffer overflow can be prevented by flushing the relevant HARQ buffer when a physical feedback channel corresponding to a physical shared channel is not received based on BFR detection. Unnecessary resource allocation can be prevented by stopping monitoring of the PSFCH based on a failure to receive a physical feedback channel corresponding to a physical shared channel based on BFR detection.

[0137] For example, unnecessary Mode 1 resource allocation can be prevented based on BFR detection. For example, unnecessary Mode 1 resource allocation can be prevented by treating a PSSCH sent based on BFR detection as an ACK. For example, unnecessary Mode 1 resource allocation can be prevented by treating a failure to receive a PSFCH corresponding to a PSSCH based on BFR detection as an ACK. For example, HARQ buffer overflow can be prevented by flushing the relevant HARQ buffer when a PSFCH corresponding to a PSSCH is not received based on BFR detection. For example, unnecessary Mode 1 resource allocation can be prevented by stopping monitoring of the PSFCH based on a failure to receive a PSFCH corresponding to a PSSCH based on BFR detection.

[0138] In various embodiments of the present disclosure, “channel” may be applied by replacing “carrier” or “resource block set of a specific carrier” or “frequency band”.

[0139] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, spatial settings and / or transmission configuration indicator (TCI) information and / or quasi-co-location (QCL) information and / or beams may refer to each other and / or may be interchangeably interpreted as beam-related information, beam directions, spatial domain transmit filters, and / or spatial domain receive filters. For example, the spatial domain transmit filter may be a spatial domain TX filter. For example, the spatial domain receive filter may be a spatial domain RX filter.

[0140] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the fact that the spatial configuration information (or beam information) is the same for transmission may mean that the spatial domain TX filter of the UE is the same for two different transmission signals. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the fact that the spatial configuration information (or beam information) is the same for reception may mean that two different reception signals are in a QCL "Type D" relationship and / or use the same spatial RX parameters.

[0141] For example, whether to apply (some) of the methods / rules and / or related parameters (e.g., thresholds) proposed in the present disclosure may be configured (differently or independently) for each SL-channel access priority category (CAPC). For example, whether to apply (some) of the methods / rules and / or related parameters (e.g., thresholds) proposed in the present disclosure may be configured (differently or independently) for each SL-LBT type (e.g., Type 1 LBT, Type 2A LBT, Type 2B LBT, Type 2C LBT). For example, depending on whether frame-based LBT is applied, whether to apply (some) of the methods / rules and / or related parameters (e.g., thresholds) proposed in the present disclosure may be specifically (or differently or independently) configured. For example, depending on whether load-based LBT is applied, whether to apply (some) of the methods / rules and / or related parameters (e.g., thresholds) proposed in the present disclosure may be specifically (or differently or independently) configured.

[0142] For example, whether to apply (some) of the proposed schemes / rules and / or related parameters (e.g., thresholds) of the present disclosure can be specifically (or differently or independently) configured based on whether LBT is successful / failed, the relevant energy detection level of each LBT, each side link channel (PSCCH / PSSCH, PSFCH, SL-SSB (or S-SSB)), whether MCSt (multiple continuous time slot transmission) is applied, whether multiple PSFCH timings are applied, whether the resource order / position is composed of MCSt, whether multiple starting points are configured within a time slot, whether the first starting point (or second starting point) is applied, etc.

[0143] Whether to apply the (some) proposed schemes / rules and / or related parameters (e.g., thresholds) of the present disclosure can be specifically (or differently or independently) configured based on whether LBT is successful / failed, the relevant energy detection level of each LBT, each side link channel (PSCCH / PSSCH, PSFCH, SL-SSB (or S-SSB)), whether MCSt (multiple continuous time slot transmission) is applied, whether multiple PSFCH timings are applied, whether the resource order / position is composed of MCSt, whether multiple starting points are configured within a time slot, whether the first starting point (or second starting point) is applied, etc.

[0144] For example, whether to apply (some) of the methods / rules and / or related parameters (e.g., thresholds) proposed in the present disclosure may be configured (differently or independently) for each resource pool. For example, whether to apply (some) of the methods / rules and / or related parameters (e.g., thresholds) proposed in the present disclosure may be configured (differently or independently) for each congestion level. For example, whether to apply (some) of the methods / rules and / or related parameters (e.g., thresholds) proposed in the present disclosure may be configured (differently or independently) for each service priority. For example, whether to apply (some) of the methods / rules and / or related parameters (e.g., thresholds) proposed in the present disclosure may be configured (differently or independently) for each service type. For example, whether to apply (some) of the methods / rules and / or related parameters (e.g., thresholds) proposed in the present disclosure may be configured (differently or independently) for each QoS requirement (e.g., latency, reliability). For example, whether to apply (some) of the methods / rules and / or related parameters (e.g., thresholds) proposed in the present disclosure may be configured (differently or independently) for each PQI (5G QoS Identifier (5QI) for PC5). For example, whether to apply (some) of the methods / rules and / or related parameters (e.g., thresholds) proposed in the present disclosure may be configured (differently or independently) for each service type (e.g., periodic generation or non-periodic generation). For example, whether to apply (some) of the methods / rules and / or related parameters (e.g., thresholds) proposed in the present disclosure may be configured (differently or independently) for each SL transmission resource allocation mode (e.g., mode 1 or mode 2).

[0209] Figure 16 A signal processing circuit for transmitting a signal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 16 The embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0210] Reference Figure 16 , the signal processing circuit 1000 may include a scrambler 1010, a modulator 1020, a layer mapper 1030, a precoder 1040, a resource mapper 1050 and a signal generator 1060. Figure 16 operations / functions, not limited to Figure 15The processor (102, 202) and / or transceiver (106, 206) of Figure 15 The processor (102, 202) and / or transceiver (106, 206) are implemented Figure 16 For example, you can Figure 15 Alternatively, the processor (102, 202) can implement blocks 1010 to 1060. Figure 15 The processor (102, 202) implements blocks 1010 to 1050 and can be implemented by Figure 15 The transceiver (106, 206) is used to implement block 1060.

[0211] Can be passed Figure 16 Signal processing circuit 1000 converts a codeword into a radio signal. Herein, a codeword is a sequence of coded bits for an information block. An information block may include a transport block (e.g., a UL-SCH transport block, a DL-SCH transport block). Radio signals may be transmitted via various physical channels (e.g., PUSCH and PDSCH).

[0212] 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) on the complex modulation symbols. Alternatively, the precoder 1040 may perform precoding without performing transform precoding.

[0213] The resource mapper 1050 can map the modulation symbols of each antenna port to time-frequency resources. The time-frequency resources may include multiple symbols in the time domain (e.g., CP-OFDMA symbols and DFT-s-OFDMA symbols) and multiple subcarriers in the frequency domain. The signal generator 1060 can generate a radio signal from the mapped modulation symbols, and the generated radio signal can 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.

Figure 15 100, 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 frequency downlink converter, 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 shown) for receiving a signal may include a signal restorer, a resource demapper, a post-coding process, a demodulator, a descrambler, and a decoder.
