Solution Overview

Problem

The technical problem addressed by the present disclosure is the need for methods and devices to perform sidelink communication in wireless communication systems, particularly in detecting SL LBT failures and triggering resource reselection procedures when consistent LBT failures occur.

Innovation Solution

The method involves receiving configuration information for sidelink resource pools and resource block sets, detecting consistent SL LBT failures, and triggering SL resource reselection to select alternative resource pools or sets.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If LBT failure detection is performed in units of entire SL BWP, then coverage area is large, but congestion detection range is too broad and cannot identify specific problematic resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecongestion detection precisionVSAvoiddetection range
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the SL BWP into multiple SL resource pools and RB sets, allowing LBT failure detection to be performed at the resource pool or RB set level rather than the entire BWP. This segmentation enables precise identification of congested resources while maintaining adequate detection coverage across the bandwidth.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If SL resource reselection is triggered by consistent LBT failure, then resource selection accuracy improves, but resource availability may decrease due to reselection restrictions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource selection reliabilityVSAvoidresource pool adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by restricting resource reselection only to resource pools or RB sets where LBT failures were detected, rather than applying restrictions across the entire SL BWP. This allows reliable resource selection in congested areas while maintaining adaptability and availability in non-congested resource pools.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple SL resource pools and RB sets are configured, then resource management flexibility increases, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource management flexibilityVSAvoidconfiguration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent manages complexity by dynamically changing operational parameters based on LBT failure detection results. The UE selectively applies reselection restrictions only to affected resource pools or RB sets, adjusting the scope of complexity management based on actual congestion conditions rather than maintaining high complexity uniformly across all configured resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A method and an apparatus for performing communication in a wireless communication system are disclosed. A method for performing communication by a first terminal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may comprise the steps of: receiving, from a base station, configuration information related to a plurality of sidelink (SL) resource pools and a plurality of resource block (RB) sets; detecting and triggering a consistent SL listen before talk (LBT) failure for at least one of a first SL resource pool and a first RB set among the plurality of SL resource pools and the plurality of RB sets; and triggering, on the basis that the triggered consistent SL LBT failure is not canceled, SL resource reselection for selecting a second SL resource pool or a second RB set from among the plurality of resource pools and the plurality of RB sets.
