In order to clarify the description, hereinafter, the technical idea is mainly focused on the 3GPP LTE / LTE-A / NR (New RAT) communication system, but the technical features are not limited thereto.

3GPP has been conducting research on 5G (5th-Generation) communication technology to meet the requirements of ITU-R's next-generation wireless access technology after research on 4G (4th-Generation) communication technology. Specifically, 3GPP is conducting research on new NR communication technology that is separate from LTE-A pro and 4G communication technology, which have improved LTE-Advanced technology to meet the requirements of ITU-R with 5G communication technology. LTE-A pro and NR are both expected to be submitted in 5G communication technology, but hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, the present embodiments will be described with reference to NR.

The operating scenario in NR defined various operation scenarios by adding considerations for satellites, automobiles, and new verticals in the existing 4G LTE scenarios.In terms of service, it has an eMBB (Enhanced Mobile Broadband) scenario, high terminal density, but wide It is deployed in the range and supports the Massive Machine Communication (mmmTC) scenario, which requires low data rate and asynchronous connection, and the Ultra Reliability and Low Latency (URLLC) scenario, which requires high responsiveness and reliability and supports high-speed mobility. .

To satisfy this scenario, NR discloses a wireless communication system to which a new waveform and frame structure technology, low latency technology, ultra-high-bandwidth (mmWave) support technology, and forward compatibility technology are applied. In particular, the NR system proposes various technical changes in terms of flexibility in order to provide forward compatibility. The main technical features will be described below with reference to the drawings.

<NR system general>

1 is a diagram briefly showing the structure of an NR system to which the present embodiment can be applied.

Referring to FIG. 1, the NR system is divided into 5GC (5G Core Network) and NR-RAN parts, and NG-RAN is controlled for a user plane (SDAP / PDCP / RLC / MAC / PHY) and user equipment (UE). It consists of gNB and ng-eNBs that provide a plane (RRC) protocol termination. The gNB interconnects or the gNB and ng-eNB are interconnected via an Xn interface. gNB and ng-eNB are each connected to 5GC through an NG interface. The 5GC may include an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), which is responsible for a control plane such as a terminal access and mobility control function, and a User Plane Function (UPF), which is a control function for user data. The NR includes support for frequencies below 6 GHz (FR1, Frequency Range 1) and frequencies above 6 GHz (FR2, Frequency Range 2).

gNB means a base station providing NR user plane and control plane protocol termination to the terminal, and ng-eNB means a base station providing E-UTRA user plane and control plane protocol termination to the terminal. The base station described in this specification should be understood as a meaning encompassing gNB and ng-eNB, and may be used in a sense to refer to a gNB or ng-eNB as necessary.

<NR wave form, pneumatics and frame structure>

In NR, a CP-OFDM waveform using a cyclic prefix is used for downlink transmission, and CP-OFDM or DFT-s-OFDM is used for uplink transmission. OFDM technology is easy to combine with multiple input multiple output (MIMO), and has the advantage of being able to use a low-complexity receiver with high frequency efficiency.

On the other hand, in the NR, since the demands for data rate, delay rate, and coverage for each of the three scenarios described above are different from each other, it is necessary to efficiently satisfy the requirements for each scenario through a frequency band constituting an arbitrary NR system. . To this end, a technique for efficiently multiplexing a plurality of different numerology-based radio resources has been proposed.

값이 2의 지수 값으로 사용되어 지수적으로 변경된다.Specifically, the NR transmission numerology is determined based on sub-carrier spacing and CP (Cyclic prefix), based on 15khz as shown in Table 1 below.

The value is used as an exponent value of 2 and is changed exponentially.

Subcarrier spacing Cyclic prefix Supported for data Supported for synch 0 15 Normal Yes Yes One 30 Normal Yes Yes 2 60 Normal, Extended Yes No 3 120 Normal Yes Yes 4 240 Normal No Yes

As shown in Table 1 above, the NR numerology can be divided into 5 types according to the subcarrier spacing. This is different from that in which the subcarrier spacing of LTE, which is one of 4G communication technologies, is fixed at 15khz. Specifically, the subcarrier interval used for data transmission in NR is 15, 30, 60, and 120 khz, and the subcarrier interval used for synchronization signal transmission is 15, 30, 12, and 240 khz. In addition, the extended CP applies only to the 60khz subcarrier spacing. On the other hand, the frame structure (frame structure) in the NR is defined as a frame having a length of 10ms composed of 10 subframes (subframe) having the same length of 1ms. One frame can be divided into 5 ms half frames, and each half frame includes 5 subframes. In the case of a 15khz subcarrier interval, one subframe is composed of one slot, and each slot is composed of 14 OFDM symbols.

2 is a diagram for explaining a frame structure in an NR system to which the present embodiment can be applied.

Referring to FIG. 2, the slot is fixedly composed of 14 OFDM symbols in the case of a normal CP, but the length of the slot may vary depending on the subcarrier interval. For example, in the case of a numerology having a 15 khz subcarrier spacing, the slot is 1 ms long and is configured to have the same length as the subframe. On the contrary, in the case of a neuromerlage having a 30 khz subcarrier spacing, a slot is composed of 14 OFDM symbols, but two slots may be included in one subframe with a length of 0.5 ms. That is, the subframe and the frame are defined with a fixed time length, and the slot is defined by the number of symbols, so that the time length may vary according to the subcarrier interval.

Meanwhile, the NR defines a basic unit of scheduling as a slot, and also introduces a mini-slot (or sub-slot or non-slot based schedule) to reduce transmission delay in a radio section. If a wide subcarrier interval is used, the length of one slot is inversely shortened, and thus transmission delay in a wireless section can be reduced. The mini-slot (or sub-slot) is for efficient support for the URLLC scenario and can be scheduled in units of 2, 4, and 7 symbols.

Also, unlike LTE, uplink and downlink resource allocation is defined as a symbol level within one slot. In order to reduce HARQ delay, a slot structure capable of directly transmitting HARQ ACK / NACK in a transmission slot has been defined, and this slot structure is referred to as a self-contained structure.

NR is designed to support a total of 256 slot formats, of which 62 slot formats are used in Rel-15. In addition, a common frame structure constituting an FDD or TDD frame is supported through a combination of various slots. For example, a slot structure in which all symbols of a slot are set to downlink, a slot structure in which all symbols are set to uplink, and a slot structure in which downlink symbols and uplink symbols are combined are supported. In addition, NR supports that data transmissions are scheduled to be distributed in one or more slots. Accordingly, the base station can inform the terminal whether the slot is a downlink slot, an uplink slot, or a flexible slot using a slot format indicator (SFI). The base station may indicate the slot format by indicating the index of a table configured through RRC signaling using SFI, and dynamically indicate through DCI (Downlink Control Information) or statically or quasi-statically through RRC. It might be.

<NR Physical Resources>

With regard to physical resources in NR, antenna ports, resource grids, resource elements, resource blocks, and bandwidth parts are considered. Can be.

The antenna port is defined such that a channel carrying a symbol on the antenna port can be inferred from a channel carrying another symbol on the same antenna port. If the large-scale property of a channel carrying a symbol on one antenna port can be inferred from a channel carrying a symbol on another antenna port, the two antenna ports are QC / QCL (quasi co-located or quasi co-location). Here, a wide range of characteristics include one or more of delay spread, doppler spread, frequency shift, average received power, and received timing.

3 is a diagram for describing a resource grid supported by a radio access technology to which the present embodiment can be applied.

Referring to FIG. 3, a resource grid may exist according to each neuromerging because the NR supports a plurality of neuromerging on the same carrier. In addition, the resource grid may exist according to the antenna port, subcarrier spacing, and transmission direction.

A resource block is composed of 12 subcarriers and is defined only on the frequency domain. In addition, the resource element (resource element) is composed of one OFDM symbol and one subcarrier. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, the size of one resource block may vary according to the subcarrier interval. In addition, in NR, "Point A" serving as a common reference point for the resource block grid, a common resource block, and a virtual resource block are defined.

4 is a diagram for describing a bandwidth part supported by a radio access technology to which the present embodiment can be applied.

Unlike LTE, where the carrier bandwidth is fixed at 20Mhz in NR, the maximum carrier bandwidth is set from 50Mhz to 400Mhz for each subcarrier interval. Therefore, it is not assumed that all terminals use all of these carrier bandwidths. Accordingly, in NR, as shown in FIG. 4, a terminal can be used by designating a bandwidth part within a carrier bandwidth. In addition, the bandwidth part is associated with one neurology and is composed of a subset of consecutive common resource blocks, and can be dynamically activated with time. A maximum of 4 bandwidth parts are configured in the uplink and downlink, respectively, and data is transmitted and received using the bandwidth part activated at a given time.

In the case of a paired spectrum, the uplink and downlink bandwidth parts are independently set, and in the case of an unpaired spectrum, unnecessary frequency re-tunning is prevented between downlink and uplink operation. In order to achieve this, the bandwidth part of the downlink and uplink is set in pairs so that the center frequency can be shared.

<NR initial connection>

In NR, a terminal accesses a base station and performs a cell search and random access procedure to perform communication.

Cell search is a procedure in which a terminal synchronizes with a cell of a corresponding base station, acquires a physical layer cell ID, and acquires system information using a synchronization signal block (SSB) transmitted by the base station.

5 exemplarily shows a synchronization signal block in a radio access technology to which the present embodiment can be applied.

Referring to FIG. 5, the SSB is composed of a primary synchronization signal (PSS) and a secondary synchronization signal (SSS) and three OFDM symbols occupying one symbol and 127 subcarriers, respectively, and a PBCH spanning 240 subcarriers.

The UE receives the SSB by monitoring the SSB in the time and frequency domain.

SSB can be transmitted up to 64 times in 5 ms. Multiple SSBs are transmitted in different transmission beams within a 5 ms time period, and the UE performs detection by assuming that SSBs are transmitted every 20 ms periods based on a specific one beam used for transmission. The number of beams that can be used for SSB transmission within 5 ms time may increase as the frequency band increases. For example, up to 4 SSB beams can be transmitted at 3 GHz or less, and up to 8 SSBs can be transmitted using up to 8 different beams in the frequency band from 3 to 6 GHz and up to 64 in the frequency band above 6 GHz.

Two SSBs are included in one slot, and the starting symbol and the number of repetitions in the slot are determined according to the subcarrier interval.

On the other hand, SSB is not transmitted at the center frequency of the carrier bandwidth, unlike the SS of the conventional LTE. That is, the SSB may be transmitted out of the center of the system band, and when supporting broadband operation, a plurality of SSBs may be transmitted on the frequency domain. Accordingly, the terminal monitors the SSB using a synchronization raster, which is a candidate frequency location for monitoring the SSB. The carrier raster and the synchronization raster, which are the center frequency location information of the channel for initial access, are newly defined in the NR, and the synchronization raster has a wider frequency interval than the carrier raster, and thus supports fast SSB search of the UE. Can be.

The terminal may acquire MIB through the PBCH of the SSB. The MIB (Master Information Block) includes minimum information for the terminal to receive the remaining system information (RMSI, Remaining Minimum System Information) broadcast by the network. In addition, PBCH is information on the location of the first DM-RS symbol on the time domain, information for the UE to monitor SIB1 (for example, SIB1 neuromerging information, information related to SIB1 CORESET, search space information, PDCCH Related parameter information, etc.), offset information between the common resource block and the SSB (the position of the absolute SSB in the carrier is transmitted through SIB1), and the like. Here, the SIB1 pneumatic information is equally applied to messages 2 and 4 of the random access procedure for accessing the base station after the terminal completes the cell search procedure.

The aforementioned RMSI means System Information Block 1 (SIB1), and SIB1 is broadcast periodically (ex, 160 ms) in a cell. SIB1 includes information necessary for the UE to perform the initial random access procedure, and is periodically transmitted through the PDSCH. In order to receive SIB1, the UE must receive pneumatic information used for SIB1 transmission and control resource set (CORESET) information used for scheduling of SIB1 through the PBCH. The UE checks scheduling information for SIB1 using SI-RNTI in CORESET, and acquires SIB1 on the PDSCH according to the scheduling information. SIBs other than SIB1 may be periodically transmitted or may be transmitted according to a terminal request.

6 is a diagram for explaining a random access procedure in a radio access technology to which the present embodiment can be applied.

Referring to FIG. 6, when cell search is completed, the UE transmits a random access preamble for random access to the base station. The random access preamble is transmitted through PRACH. Specifically, the random access preamble is transmitted to the base station through PRACH composed of continuous radio resources in a specific slot that is periodically repeated. In general, a contention-based random access procedure is performed when the UE initially accesses a cell, and a non-competition-based random access procedure is performed when random access is performed for beam failure recovery (BFR).

The terminal receives a random access response to the transmitted random access preamble. The random access response may include a random access preamble identifier (ID), UL grant (uplink radio resource), temporary C-RNTI (Temporary Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identifier) and TAC (Time Alignment Command). Since one random access response may include random access response information for one or more terminals, a random access preamble identifier may be included to inform which terminal the included UL Grant, temporary C-RNTI, and TAC are valid. The random access preamble identifier may be an identifier for the random access preamble received by the base station. The TAC may be included as information for the UE to adjust uplink synchronization. The random access response may be indicated by a random access identifier on the PDCCH, that is, a Random Access-Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RA-RNTI).

Upon receiving a valid random access response, the terminal processes the information included in the random access response, and performs scheduled transmission to the base station. For example, the UE applies TAC and stores a temporary C-RNTI. In addition, by using UL Grant, data stored in the buffer of the terminal or newly generated data is transmitted to the base station. In this case, information capable of identifying the terminal should be included.

Finally, the terminal receives a downlink message for contention resolution.

<NR CORESET>

The downlink control channel in the NR is transmitted in a control resource set (CORESET) having a length of 1 to 3 symbols, and transmits up / down scheduling information, slot format index (SFI), and transmit power control (TPC) information. .

Thus, in order to secure the flexibility of the system, NR introduced the concept of CORESET. CORESET (Control Resource Set) means a time-frequency resource for a downlink control signal. The UE may decode the control channel candidate using one or more search spaces in the CORESET time-frequency resource. QCL (Quasi CoLocation) assumptions for each CORESET were established, and this is used to inform the characteristics of the analog beam direction in addition to delay spread, Doppler spread, Doppler shift, and average delay, which are characteristics assumed by the conventional QCL.

7 is a view for explaining CORESET.

Referring to FIG. 7, CORESET may exist in various forms within a carrier bandwidth within one slot, and CORESET may consist of up to 3 OFDM symbols in a time domain. In addition, CORESET is defined as a multiple of 6 resource blocks from the frequency domain to the carrier bandwidth.

The first CORESET is indicated through the MIB as part of the initial bandwidth part configuration to receive additional configuration information and system information from the network. After establishing a connection with the base station, the terminal may receive and configure one or more CORESET information through RRC signaling.

In this specification, frequency, frame, subframe, resource, resource block, region, band, subband, control channel, data channel, synchronization signal, various reference signals, various signals, various messages related to NR (New Radio) Can be interpreted as meaning used in the past or present or various meanings used in the future.

In the conventional 3GPP LTE, a sidelink transmission / reception method for supporting V2X communication, which is a concept of fusion of D2D between terminals and V2V, which is an inter-vehicle communication and V2I, which is a vehicle-to-base station communication, is additional feature It is standardized as. In more distinction, D2D is a service scenario that assumes communication between existing terminals in a mutually equal relationship, and V2V is an extended terminal-to-terminal communication service scenario that assumes a wireless communication environment between general pedestrians and vehicle terminals with different characteristics. In order to successfully utilize radio resources with or without the assistance of a base station, various technologies have been standardized in initial access and resource allocation.

Meanwhile, in NR, studies are underway for standardizing V2X related to sidelink support and changed service requirements, and the following four new service scenarios are assumed.

● Vehicles Platooning enables the vehicles to dynamically form a platoon traveling together. All the vehicles in the platoon obtain information from the leading vehicle to manage this platoon. These information allow the vehicles to drive closer than normal in a coordinated manner, going to the same direction and traveling together.

● Extended Sensors enables the exchange of raw or processed data gathered through local sensors or live video images among vehicles, road site units, devices of pedestrian and V2X application servers. The vehicles can increase the perception of their environemnt beyond of what their own sensors can detect and have a more broad and holistic view of the local situation. High data rate is one of the key characteristics.

● Advanced Driving enables semi-automated or full-automated driving. Each vehicle and / or RSU shares its own perception data obtained from its local sensors with vehicles in proximity and that allows vehicles to synchronize and coordinate their trajectories or manoeuvres. Each vehicle shares its driving intention with vehicles in proximity too.

● Remote Driving enables a remote driver or a V2X application to operate a remote vehicle for those passengers who cannot drive by themselves or remote vehicles located in dangerous environments. For a case where variation is limited and routes are predictable, such as public transportation, driving based on cloud computing can be used. High reliability and low latency are the main requirements.

Meanwhile, in NR V2X, the base station has been tentatively agreed to support the transmission method of Mode 1, which manages communication resources between terminals, and Mode 2, which manages communication resources through communication between terminals. Branch transmission types were agreed at RAN1 # 94 meeting, and each is expressed as Mode 2- (a) to Mode 2- (d) or Mode 2a to Mode 2d.

a) UE autonomously selects sidelink resource for transmission

b) UE assists sidelink resource selection for other UE (s)

c) UE is configured with NR configured grant (type-1 like) for sidelink transmission

d) UE schedules sidelink transmissions of other UEs

Particularly, 2a, in which the UE selects a resource by itself, and 2b, which can assist in selecting a resource of another UE by transmitting channel configuration assistant information, have been discussed as a transmission mode different from the existing LTE V2X.

Meanwhile, the existing NR introduced the concept of BWP (BandWidth Part) defined for each user in order to perform efficient broadband communication. Through this, each user can limit and use a frequency resource region to be used for transmission / reception in the entire carrier band. The BWP configuration information includes the following information regarding the physical communication resource configuration values.

1.Subcarrier spacing (SCS)

2. CP length

3. Start PRB number

4. PRB number

The setting may be configured separately from the uplink and the downlink, and may be configured up to 4 each in the form of ID. Since specific BWPs share the same SCS, when using different SCSs for transmission and reception, two or more BWPs corresponding to SCS information to be used must be defined.

When the DL / UL BWP of the UE is set, the UE basically operates in a form of transmitting a signal only in the corresponding band and receiving only a signal in the corresponding description. Therefore, the node (base station or other UE) that wants to transmit information to the corresponding UE must transmit and receive resources only in the corresponding band. However, in the proposed V2X Mode 2, a method of selecting and setting itself is considered in the form in which the UE configures resources, and the UE that wants to perform transmission resource configuration receives the entire carrier band information in which the corresponding service is performed, or Since the BWP-related information of the UE to which this information is to be transmitted is unknown, it is difficult to know which band to transmit and receive using.

In this way, in the NR-V2X, various information necessary for a specific UE to set a transmission resource, or helpful, may be transmitted and received in advance or during communication, but specific methods of transmitting and receiving the information are not yet discussed. Did.

The present invention provides a method of transmitting and receiving auxiliary information for a user to set transmission resources in an NR-V2X sidelink system. In particular, as one of such auxiliary information, a method for performing initial transmission resource setting including configuration BWP information of an individual UE is provided, and a transmission and reception method for exchanging corresponding BWP information between users is provided.

The present invention includes (1) a method for transmitting and receiving channel setting auxiliary information through a common BWP setting, (2) a method for transmitting and receiving channel setting auxiliary information through a synchronization signal, (3) a method for transmitting and receiving channel setting auxiliary information through a discovery channel, and (4) ) Provides a method for transmitting and receiving channel setting auxiliary information through a sidelink control / data channel. Before describing the operation of the invention, some terms used in the present invention are defined. The terms used to describe the present invention may be used later, other terms having the same meaning may be used, to explain the role of the actual object and not to limit the scope of the technology.

● Tx BWP: BWP that the UE performs transmission.

● Rx BWP: BWP that the UE performs reception.

Here, the above two BWPs may have the same meaning. For example, the band set as the UE BWP can be set to be used for both transmission and reception at all times, and in this case, the UE can be set / operated in the SL BWP form without dividing into Tx / Rx. In this case, in the invention, both Tx BWP and Rx BWP may mean SL BWP.

(1) Method for transmitting and receiving channel setting auxiliary information through common BWP setting: This method defines a common BWP through which all users can perform transmission, and transmits and receives channel setting information in a broadcast form through this BWP. Along with this, a resource pool defined on the common BWP can be set, and the resource pool can be operated only for transmission of channel setting auxiliary information. The following methods can be applied to delivering common BWP information to a user accessing the first network.

① Method of including common BWP information in RMSI / OSI: This method is a method of including common BWP-related configuration information that all users commonly access in RMSI or OSI. And this is a method for each UE to transmit its own Tx / Rx BWP and channel setting auxiliary information in a broadcast form through transmission resources such as a resource pool defined in the common BWP. The UE may send the information at any point in time, and a time offset and period for sending the information may be set.

Embodiment 1: In order to reduce the control message length, an initial BWP used to transmit RMSI / OSI can be used as a common BWP.

Embodiment 2: In order to reduce the control message length, a BWP defined to transmit PRACH can be used as a common BWP.

② Method of uniquely configuring based on the band of the synchronization signal: This method is a method of configuring a band of a specific offset and a specific size as a common BWP based on a band through which the SSB is transmitted. The offset and bandwidth may be determined based on information transmitted from the synchronization signal, or may be determined in a form fixed to a standard such as offset 0 and size 20RB.

(2) Method for transmitting and receiving channel setting auxiliary information through a synchronization signal: This method is a method for transmitting and receiving channel setting auxiliary information through system information included in a synchronization signal that the terminal first detects to access the network. This method is performed under the assumption that the base station or UE transmitting the synchronization signal and the RMSI collects and has relevant information of other UEs. There are two main ways. The auxiliary information may include IDs of each UE and UE group, and set Tx / Rx BWP information. Specifically, the following methods can be applied.

① Method of including the channel setting auxiliary information in the PSBCH: When the PSBCH is configured in the form of a length longer than the PBCH defined in the existing NR, the message length for transmitting the channel setting auxiliary information may be additionally defined.

② Method of including channel setting auxiliary information in RMSI / OSI: An RRC message field including channel setting auxiliary information may be defined in RRC messages constituting RMSI and OSI. In addition, the RMSI or OSI may re-instruct the resource area for transmitting the corresponding channel setup auxiliary information.

(3) Method for transmitting and receiving channel setting auxiliary information through a discovery channel: In LTE D2D / V2X, the current terminal can search for other terminals to perform communication with it, or other terminals to be in its vicinity. A discovery channel (PSDCH, Physical sidelink discovery channel) was introduced to perform message transmission and reception. The message includes information such as IDs of neighboring UEs that the transmitting / receiving UE needs to access in order to use its service, and thus, through the corresponding channel transmission / reception, the UE exists whether or not there is a neighboring UE to perform communication. You will be able to obtain information. Therefore, when transmitting information related to the neighboring UE, channel setting auxiliary information may also be transmitted. Specifically, the following methods may be considered.

① Method of receiving information at the application layer: Since the discovery message of LTE includes user authentication information and service information, information utilized in the application layer is transmitted. Therefore, the channel setting auxiliary information that can be additionally transmitted in a corresponding layer becomes a transmission period in a long timeline, a packet size to be selected according to a service, and the like, and the terminal can perform transmission physical resource area setting based on this.

② Method of receiving information on a physical channel: This method is a method of transmitting channel setting auxiliary information through a part of a physical resource area of a discovery channel. That is, two types of messages are delivered to the discovery channel, and the new message includes physical channel related information, not application layer information, that is, physical resource information such as Tx / Rx BWP set by UEs in a corresponding service area. It may be configured in a format in which channel setting auxiliary information is included and transmitted. As a method of transmitting two types of messages through one channel, the message payload may be divided into two preset parts, or the resource for transmitting the transport block may be divided into two physically separated parts, as necessary, in the discovery channel. It can also be sent by selecting only one of the two messages. In this case, the receiving UE may need to perform blind detection (BD) in one of two formats.

③ How to define a new channel: The message of the new format applied in method ② can be transmitted to another channel for the purpose of transmitting the message of the corresponding format. The physical resource location of the corresponding channel can be set at the upper layer and transmitted to other users through system messages, like the existing discovery channel, and has the advantage that it does not need to perform the message by selecting and receiving the message as needed when actually receiving it. have.

(4) Sidelink Control / Data Channel Auxiliary Information Transmission / Reception Method: The method is a method of transmitting / receiving channel establishment auxiliary information through a sidelink control and data channel transmitted by the UE. The information transmitted in this way may be necessary information between users who have already secured a transmission / reception channel including a unidirectional direction.

① Method of transmitting and receiving channel setting auxiliary information through a control channel: A UE may have multiple BWPs set, and a BWP allocated to resource information indicated by the control channel, such as NR, may be indicated. At this time, in order to change the current active Tx / Rx BWP, the user can indirectly notify the change by instructing the resource allocation BWP in the control message. Upon receiving the information, the UE detects a change in the Tx BWP, and if the Tx / Rx BWP is set to be interlocked as in the TDD environment, it can be regarded as changed to the BWP of the Rx.

② Method of transmitting and receiving channel setting auxiliary information through a data channel: The UE may configure an RRC message capable of sending its own channel setting auxiliary information. In particular, if the target UE has only its own Tx BWP information, it may transmit the Rx message itself, or, if Tx / Rx BWP switching is required, it can be transmitted to UEs performing unicast / groupcast to itself through the corresponding message. have.

The above-described methods (1), (2), (3), and (4) provided by the present invention and respective sub-methods may be applied independently of each other in combination. In particular, all channel setting auxiliary information may be transmitted in the same way, but different channel setting auxiliary information may be transmitted through various different methods provided by the present invention.

Through the method provided by the present invention, in a V2X sidelink communication environment, a UE without a management entity such as a base station can perform sidelink transmission radio resource configuration in a form that can be efficiently received by a target UE to receive information.
