Solution Overview

Problem

The technical problem of the present disclosure is to provide a method and device for configuring a transport block (TB) for sidelink resource transmission determined by a channel access priority class (CAPC) in a wireless communication system.

Innovation Solution

A method for performing sidelink communication by a first user equipment (UE) involves receiving downlink control information (DCI) for allocating an SL grant without information indicating a channel access priority class (CAPC), and performing Listen Before Talk (LBT) for transmission using a selected CAPC based on specific conditions, where the CAPC with the highest priority is determined by the presence of SL MAC CE or SCCH.

1Reliability

If the DCI includes CAPC information, then the channel access priority is explicitly controlled, but the DCI format complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The UE autonomously determines the CAPC value based on the content of the transport block (whether it contains SCCH or only MAC CE) without requiring explicit CAPC indication in the DCI. This self-determination mechanism eliminates the need for additional CAPC fields in DCI while ensuring reliable channel access priority control.

2Productivity

If the CAPC is determined based on TB content conditions, then the resource allocation efficiency is improved, but the UE processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource allocation efficiencyVSAvoidUE processing
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The CAPC value is dynamically determined based on the content parameters of the transport block. When the TB contains SCCH, CAPC is set to a first value (higher priority), and when it contains only MAC CE, CAPC is set to a second value (lower priority). This parameter-based determination simplifies UE processing compared to complex multi-factor analysis.

AI summary

Disclosed are a method and device for performing sidelink communication in a wireless communication system. A method for a first terminal to perform sidelink communication according to an embodiment disclosed herein comprises the steps of: receiving DCI for allocating an SL grant from a base station, wherein the DCI does not include information indicating a CAPC; and using a first CAPC selected on the basis of a specific TB corresponding to the SL grant and performing LBT for transmitting the specific TB, wherein the first CAPC is a CAPC having the highest priority on the basis that the specific TB includes only an SL MAC CE, and the first CAPC is a CAPC having the highest priority on the basis that the specific TB includes an SCCH.
