For this reason, a 5G communication system or a pre-5G communication system is called a Beyond 4G Network communication system or an LTE system and a Post LTE system. In order to achieve a high data rate, the 5G communication system is being considered for implementation in the ultra-high frequency (mmWave) band (eg, such as the 60 Giga (60 GHz) band). In order to mitigate the path loss of radio waves in the ultra-high frequency band and increase the transmission distance of radio waves, in 5G communication systems, beamforming, massive MIMO, and Full Dimensional MIMO (FD-MIMO) ), array antenna, analog beam-forming, and large scale antenna technologies are being discussed.

In addition, in the 5G system, advanced coding modulation (ACM) methods such as Hybrid FSK and QAM Modulation (FQAM) and SWSC (Sliding Window Superposition Coding), advanced access technologies such as Filter Bank Multi Carrier (FBMC), NOMA (non-orthogonal multiple access), and sparse code multiple access (SCMA) have been developed.

On the other hand, the Internet is evolving from a human-centered network in which humans generate and consume information, to an Internet of Things (IoT) network that exchanges and processes information between distributed components such as objects. IoE (Internet of Everything) technology, which combines IoT technology with big data processing technology through connection with cloud servers, is also emerging. In order to implement IoT, technology elements such as sensing technology, wired/wireless communication and network infrastructure, service interface technology, and security technology are required, and recently, a sensor network for connection between objects, machine to machine , M2M), and MTC (Machine Type Communication) technologies are being studied.

Can be applied to.

Accordingly, various attempts have been made to apply a 5G communication system to an IoT network. For example, technologies such as sensor network, machine to machine (M2M), and MTC (Machine Type Communication) are implemented by techniques such as beamforming, MIMO, and array antenna. There is. As the big data processing technology described above, a cloud radio access network (cloud RAN) is applied as an example of the convergence of 5G technology and IoT technology.

In general, mobile communication systems have been developed for the purpose of providing communication while securing user mobility. These mobile communication systems have reached the stage of providing high-speed data communication services as well as voice communication, thanks to the rapid development of technology. Recently, as one of the next-generation mobile communication systems, standardization work for a new radio (NR) system is in progress in the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). NR systems are being developed to meet various network requirements and to achieve a wide range of performance targets, and in particular, this is a technology that implements millimeter wave band communication. Hereinafter, the term NR system may be understood to include a 5G NR system supporting microwaves, a 4G LTE system, and an LTE-A system including millimeter wave band communication in a band of 6 GHz or higher.

In the detailed description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the wireless access network New RAN (NR) and the core network packet core (5G System, or 5G Core Network, or the 5G wireless communication standard specified by 3GPP, a wireless communication standard standardization organization) NG Core: Next Generation Core) is the main target, but the main subject of the present disclosure is applicable to other communication systems having a similar technical background with slight modifications within the scope of the present disclosure. It will be possible at the judgment of a person skilled in the technical field of the present disclosure.

NWDAF can collect/store/analyze information from 5G networks and provide the results to unspecified network functions (NF), and the analysis results can be used independently by each NF.

For convenience of description below, some terms and names defined in the 3rd Generation Partnership Project Long Term Evolution (3GPP) standard (5G, NR, LTE, or similar system standard) may be used. However, the present disclosure is not limited by terms and names, and may be equally applied to systems conforming to other standards.

In addition, terms for identifying access nodes, terms for network entities (network entities), terms for messages, terms for interfaces between network entities, and various identification information used in the following description Terms and the like referring to them are exemplified for convenience of description. Therefore, it is not limited to the terms used in the present disclosure, and other terms that refer to objects having an equivalent technical meaning may be used.

Efforts are being made to develop an improved 5G communication system (NR, New Radio) in order to meet the increasing demand for wireless data traffic after the commercialization of 4G communication systems. In order to achieve high data rates, 5G communication systems are designed to enable communication in resources in the ultra high frequency (mmWave) band (eg, the 28 GHz frequency band). In order to mitigate the path loss of radio waves in the ultra-high frequency band and increase the transmission distance of radio waves, in 5G communication systems, beamforming, massive MIMO, and Full Dimensional MIMO (FD-MIMO) ), array antenna, analog beam-forming, and large scale antenna technologies are being discussed. In addition, unlike LTE, the 5G communication system supports various subcarrier spacings, such as 30 kHz, 60 kHz, and 120 kHz, including 15 kHz. In addition, in a 5G communication system, a physical control channel uses Polar Coding, and a physical data channel uses LDPC (Low Density Parity Check). In addition, as a waveform for uplink transmission, not only DFT-S-OFDM but also CP-OFDM may be used. LTE supports HARQ (Hybrid ARQ) retransmission in units of TB (Transport Block), while 5G may additionally support HARQ retransmission based on a code block group (CBG) in which several code blocks (CBs) are grouped.

In addition, in order to improve the network of the system, in 5G communication system, advanced small cell, advanced small cell, cloud radio access network (cloud RAN), ultra-dense network , Device to Device communication (D2D), wireless backhaul, vehicle communication network (V2X (Vehicle to Everything) network), cooperative communication, CoMP (Coordinated Multi-Points), and reception Technology development such as interference cancellation is being made.

On the other hand, the Internet is evolving from a human-centered network in which humans generate and consume information, to an Internet of Things (IoT) network that exchanges and processes information between distributed components such as objects. IoE (Internet of Everything) technology, which combines IoT technology with big data processing technology through connection with cloud servers, is also emerging. In order to implement IoT, technology elements such as sensing technology, wired/wireless communication and network infrastructure, service interface technology, and security technology are required, and recently, a sensor network for connection between objects, machine to machine , M2M), and MTC (Machine Type Communication) technologies are being studied. In the IoT environment, intelligent IT (Internet Technology) services that create new value in human life by collecting and analyzing data generated from connected objects can be provided. IoT is the field of smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, smart grid, healthcare, smart home appliance, advanced medical service, etc. through the convergence and combination of existing IT (information technology) technology and various industries. Can be applied to.

Accordingly, various attempts have been made to apply a 5G communication system to an IoT network. For example, technologies such as sensor network, machine to machine (M2M), and machine type communication (MTC) are implemented by techniques such as beamforming, MIMO, and array antenna, which are 5G communication technologies. . As the big data processing technology described above, a cloud radio access network (cloud RAN) is applied as an example of the convergence of 5G technology and IoT technology. In this way, a plurality of services can be provided to users in a communication system, and in order to provide such a plurality of services to users, a method and apparatus using the same are required to provide each service within the same time period according to characteristics. . Various services provided in 5G communication systems are being studied, and one of them is a service that satisfies the requirements of low latency and high reliability.

In the case of vehicle communication, LTE-based V2X has been standardized in 3GPP Rel-14 and Rel-15 based on a D2D (Device-to-Device) communication structure, and currently intends to develop V2X based on 5G NR (New Radio). Efforts are going on. NR V2X plans to support unicast communication, groupcast (or multicast) communication, and broadcast communication between the terminal and the terminal. In addition, NR V2X, unlike LTE V2X, which aims to transmit and receive basic safety information necessary for vehicle driving on the road, is a group driving (Platooning), advanced driving (Advanced Driving), extended sensor (Extended Sensor), remote driving (Remote Driving). Together, it aims to provide more advanced services.

The resource pool in the sidelink may be defined as a set of resource resources in time and frequency used for transmission and reception of the sidelink. In the existing LTE system-based sidelink, resource pools are allowed to be set to non-contiguous locations in time, but non-contiguous location settings are not allowed on frequency. The sidelink transmission channel is designed based on an uplink channel, and resources must be allocated in a continuous PRB (Physical Resource Block) by using SC-OFDM (Single Carrier based Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex) on frequency to enhance coverage. There was a restriction. In the case of SC-OFDM, when resource allocation is continuously performed, the Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) is kept low, and coverage can be enhanced through this. However, since CP-OFDM (Cyclic Prefix based Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex) is basically supported in the NR system-based sidelink, there is a limit to keeping the PAPR low even if resources are continuously allocated in frequency.

Therefore, when CP-OFDM is considered in the NR system-based sidelink, non-contiguous resource allocation on frequency needs to be allowed for more flexible resource allocation. For example, even when transmission is possible at some resource locations on a frequency, a restriction occurs in that all frequency resources are not used when non-contiguous resource allocation on a frequency is not allowed. In addition, unlike the existing LTE system, in the case of the NR system, time resource allocation may be supported more flexibly. For example, in the case of the LTE system, time division duplexing (TDD) was supported through 7 kinds of uplink and downlink subframe settings, but in the NR system, time for uplink and downlink and flexible (flexible) through slot format setting Resources can be flexibly set in units of slots and symbols. Here, the flexible can be reset to the uplink and downlink as needed. Therefore, a method of setting the resource pool to a non-contiguous position in time in consideration of the channel structure considered in the NR sidelink must also be considered.

Unlike the conventional LTE sidelink as described above, in the NR sidelink, a method of setting a resource pool at a non-contiguous position in time and frequency should be considered. However, there is no discussion about this. Accordingly, in the present disclosure, first, a resource pool may be set at a non-contiguous location on a frequency, and the set resource pool may be divided into a plurality of subchannels. In addition, in the present disclosure, a resource pool is set at a non-contiguous location in time in consideration of an NR sidelink structure, and a method and apparatus for operating a terminal according thereto is proposed.

An embodiment of the present disclosure has been proposed for setting a resource pool at a non-contiguous location in the above-described time and frequency, and an object of the present disclosure is to provide a method and apparatus related to setting a resource pool in an NR sidelink system.

1 is an example of a system for describing an embodiment of the present disclosure.

1A is an example of a case where all V2X terminals (UE-1 and UE-2) are located within the coverage of a base station.

All V2X terminals may receive data and control information from the base station through a downlink (DL) or transmit data and control information to the base station through an uplink (UL). At this time, the data and control information may be data and control information for V2X communication. According to another example, the data and control information may be data and control information for general cellular communication. In addition, V2X terminals may transmit/receive data and control information for V2X communication through a sidelink (SL).

(B) of FIG. 1 is an example of a case in which UE-1 is located within the coverage of the base station and UE-2 is located outside the coverage of the base station among V2X terminals. The example according to FIG. 1B may be referred to as an example of partial coverage.

UE-1 located within the coverage of the base station may receive data and control information from the base station through a downlink (DL) or transmit data and control information to the base station through an uplink (UL).

UE-2 located outside the coverage of the base station cannot receive data and control information from the base station through downlink, and cannot transmit data and control information to the base station through uplink.

UE-2 can transmit/receive data and control information for V2X communication with UE-1 through a sidelink.

(C) of FIG. 1 is an example of a case where all V2X terminals are located out of coverage of a base station.

As UE-1 and UE-2 are located outside the coverage of the base station, they cannot receive data and control information from the base station through downlink, and cannot transmit data and control information to the base station through uplink.

UE-1 and UE-2 may transmit/receive data and control information for V2X communication through a sidelink.

1D is an example of a scenario for performing V2X communication between terminals located in different cells. Specifically, in (d) of FIG. 1, when the V2X transmitting terminal and the V2X receiving terminal are connected to different base stations (RRC connection state) or camping (RRC connection release state, that is, RRC idle state). At this time, UE-1 may be a V2X transmitting terminal and UE-2 may be a V2X receiving terminal. According to another example, UE-1 may be a V2X receiving terminal, and UE-2 may be a V2X transmitting terminal. UE-1 can receive a V2X dedicated SIB (System Information Block) from the base station to which it is connected (or it is camping), and UE-2 can receive another SIB (System Information Block) to which it is connected (or it is camping). It is possible to receive a V2X dedicated SIB from the base station. In this case, the information of the V2X-only SIB received by UE-1 and the information of the V2X-only SIB received by UE-2 may be different from each other. Accordingly, in order to perform V2X communication between terminals located in different cells, information may be unified, or more flexible parameter setting may be supported through the parameter setting method and apparatus according to the present disclosure.

1 illustrates a V2X system consisting of two terminals (UE-1 and UE-2) for convenience of description, but the system to which the present disclosure is applied is not limited thereto. In addition, uplink and downlink between the base station and V2X terminals may be referred to as a Uu interface, and a sidelink between V2X terminals may be referred to as a PC5 interface. Therefore, in the present disclosure, these can be mixed and used.

Meanwhile, in the present disclosure, the terminal is a vehicle supporting vehicle-to-vehicle communication (Vehicular-to-Vehicular: V2V), a vehicle supporting vehicle-to-pedestrian communication (Vehicular-to-Pedestrian: V2P), or a handset of a pedestrian (ie, smart Phone), a vehicle supporting communication between a vehicle and a network (Vehicular-to-Network: V2N), or a vehicle supporting communication between a vehicle and a traffic infrastructure (Vehicular-to-Infrastructure: V2I). In addition, in the present disclosure, the terminal may mean an RSU (Road Side Unit) equipped with a terminal function, an RSU equipped with a base station function, or an RSU equipped with a part of a base station function and a part of a terminal function.

In addition, in the present disclosure, the base station may be a base station supporting both V2X communication and general cellular communication, or may be a base station supporting only V2X communication. In this case, the base station may mean a 5G base station (gNB), a 4G base station (eNB), or a road site unit (RSU). Unless otherwise specified in the present disclosure, the base station and the RSU may be used in the same concept.

2 is an example of a V2X communication method performed through a sidelink.

As shown in (a) of FIG. 2, the TX terminal and the RX terminal may perform one-to-one communication, and this may be referred to as unicast communication.

As shown in (b) of FIG. 2, the TX terminal and the RX terminal may perform one-to-many communication, and this may be referred to as groupcast or multicast.

Referring to (b) of FIG. 2, UE-1, UE-2, and UE-3 form a group (group A) to perform groupcast communication, and UE-4, UE-5, UE-6, and UE-7 may form another group (group B) to perform groupcast communication. Each terminal may perform groupcast communication only within a group to which it belongs, and communication between different groups may not be performed. 2B shows that two groups are formed, but this is only an example, and the situation in which one-to-many communication is performed is not limited to the above-described example.

Meanwhile, although not shown in FIG. 2, V2X terminals may perform broadcast communication. Broadcast communication refers to a case in which all V2X terminals receive data and control information transmitted by a V2X transmitting terminal through a sidelink. For example, if it is assumed that UE-1 is a transmitting terminal for broadcast in FIG. 2B, all terminals (UE-2, UE-3, UE-4, UE-5, UE-6, and UE -7) may receive data and control information transmitted by UE-1.

In NR V2X, unlike LTE V2X, support in the form of sending data to a specific node through a unicast by a vehicle terminal and sending data to a number of specific nodes through a groupcast can be considered. have. For example, in the case of a service scenario such as Platooning, a technology that connects two or more vehicles through a single network and moves in a cluster form, unicast and groupcasting technologies can be usefully used. Specifically, unicast communication may be required for the purpose of a group leader node connected by platooning to control one specific node, and group cast communication may be required for the purpose of simultaneously controlling a group consisting of a specific number of nodes. have.

3 is a diagram for describing a resource pool defined as a set of resource resources on time and frequency used for transmission and reception of a sidelink according to an embodiment.

3-10 are examples of a case in which a resource pool is non-contiguously allocated on time and frequency. Although the present disclosure focuses on a case where a resource pool is non-contiguously allocated on a frequency, the resource pool may be continuously allocated on a frequency.

3-20 are examples illustrating a case in which non-contiguous resource allocation is performed on a frequency.

3-21 is an example of a case in which resource allocation on frequency is performed based on a sub-channel. The subchannel may be defined in a frequency unit composed of a plurality of RBs. In other words, the subchannel may be defined as an integer multiple of RB. In FIG. 3-21, an example in which the size of a subchannel is composed of 4 consecutive PRBs is shown. The size of the sub-channel may be set differently, and one sub-channel is generally composed of a continuous PRB, but there is no limitation that it must be composed of a continuous PRB. The subchannel may be a basic unit of resource allocation for PSSCH (Physical Sidelink Shared Channel) or PSCCH (Physical Sidelink Control Channel). Therefore, the size of the subchannel may be set differently depending on whether the corresponding channel is PSSCH or PSCCH. In addition, the term of the subchannel may be replaced with another term such as Resource Block Group (RBG). Methods of allocating a non-contiguous resource pool on a frequency and dividing it into a plurality of sub-channels are described through the following embodiments.

StartRBSubchanel of FIG. 3-22 indicates the start position of a subchannel on a frequency in the resource pool.

3-30 are examples of a case in which non-contiguous resource allocation in time is performed. 3-30 illustrate a case in which resource allocation in time is performed based on a slot. However, resource allocation in time is not limited to slot-based. For example, a method of allocating resources based on a subset consisting of consecutive symbols in a slot, not based on all symbols of a slot, may also be considered. In the present disclosure, the description focuses on the case where the resource pool is non-contiguously allocated in time, but the resource pool may be continuously allocated in time.

The startSlot of FIG. 3-31 indicates the start position of a time slot in the resource pool.

Next, the resource allocation method can be divided into two types of scheduled resource allocation (mode 1) and UE autonomous resource allocation (mode 2) according to a method in which the base station allocates resources to the terminal for V2X sidelink communication. In the case of scheduled resource allocation (mode 1), the base station allocates resources used for sidelink transmission to RRC-connected terminals in a dedicated scheduling scheme. The scheduled resource allocation method is effective for interference management and resource pool management (dynamic allocation, semi-persistence transmission) because the base station can manage the resources of the sidelink. In addition, in the case of scheduled resource allocation (mode 1) in which the base station allocates and manages resources for V2X, when the RRC connected terminal has data to be transmitted to other terminals, the data is an RRC message or a MAC control element to the base station. It can be transmitted using (Control Element, hereinafter CE). Here, the RRC message may be a SidelinkUEInformation or UEAssistanceInformation message. Meanwhile, the MAC CE may be, for example, a buffer status report MAC CE of a new format (including at least an indicator indicating that a buffer status report for V2P communication and information on the size of data buffered for D2D communication). For detailed format and details of the buffer status report used by 3GPP, refer to 3GPP standard TS36.321 "E-UTRA MAC Protocol Specification". On the other hand, in the UE autonomous resource allocation (mode 2), the base station provides the sidelink transmission/reception resource pool for V2X as system information, and the terminal selects the resource pool according to a set rule. The resource selection method may include zone mapping, sensing-based resource selection, and random selection. Scheduled resource allocation (mode 1) and UE autonomous resource allocation (mode 2) in the NR system will be described in more detail through the following embodiments.

<First Example>

The first embodiment proposes a method of indicating non-contiguous resource pool location information on a frequency through a bitmap. First, the location information on the frequency of the resource pool may be expressed as bitmap information such as Equation 1 below together with the configured SL BWP (Sidelink Bandwidth Part) information.

[Equation 1]

(b0, b1,...,bi,...,bLbitmap-1)

Here, when bi=1, a region set as a resource pool in frequency may be indicated, and when bi=0, a region not set as a resource pool in frequency may be indicated. Physical location information including the start location of the resource pool in frequency can be identified through the bitmap. In addition, Lbitmap is the length of the bitmap and can be determined through the following method.

Bitmap Length Setting Method 1: Lbitmap may be determined by the number of maximum transmittable Resource Blocks (RBs) determined by Subcarrier Spacing (SCS) and a set channel bandwidth. Tables 1 and 2 show the maximum number of transmittable RBs according to the SCS defined in NR Uu and the set bandwidth.

* For example, referring to Table 1, when the channel bandwidth is 40 MHz and the SCS is 15 kHz, the maximum number of transmittable RBs is 216, so the Lbitmap is 216.

* In the case of Method 1, the location of the resource pool on the frequency indicated in the actual bitmap occurs within the set SL BWP, so if the length of the SL BWP is very small compared to the channel bandwidth, the frequency of the resource pool is limited to only a part of the bitmap. Image location information may be displayed.

Bitmap Length Setting Method 2: Lbitmap can be determined as the length for the set SL BWP. Information about the set SL BWP may include a physical start position (PRB) and length (RB number) of the SL BWP.

* For example, when the length of SL BWP has a bandwidth of 50RB, the Lbitmap is 50.

RB일 수 있고, 마지막 비트가 가리키는 단위는

일 수 있다. Bitmap Length Setting Method 3: Lbitmap may be a fixed value, and the unit indicated by one bit in the Lbitmap bit may be determined based on a value obtained by dividing the size N of the SL BWP including the entire system bandwidth or resource pool by the Lbitmap. For example, the unit indicated by a bit is

RB, and the unit indicated by the last bit is

Can be

In this and subsequent embodiments, for convenience of description, the unit indicated by 1 bit bi in Equation 1 is assumed to be 1 RB, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and 1 as in the method 3 for setting the bitmap length. It can be applied even when the unit indicated by the bit, bi, is N RB. In this case, N may be determined according to a base station configuration, or may be a value determined according to the size of the BWP in which the entire system frequency bandwidth or resource pool is set.

[Table 1] Maximum transmission bandwidth configuration NRB in FR1 [TS 38.101-1]

[Table 2] Maximum transmission bandwidth configuration NRB in FR2 [TS 38.101-2]

As described above, the location information of the resource pool that is discontinuous in frequency through the bitmap may be indicated through SL SIB (Sidelink System Information Bit) or UE-specific higher level signaling. In this case, in consideration of the sidelink communication environment when the terminal is in the coverage of the base station and when the terminal is not in the coverage of the base station, the resource pool location information that is discontinuous in frequency may be indicated by preset information.

Specifically, when the terminal is outside the coverage of the base station, resource pool information on a preset frequency may be indicated as a bitmap. This is to enable the UE to transmit and receive sidelinks from the corresponding resource by setting a preset resource pool for communication with the UE outside the coverage of the base station. In contrast, when the terminal is in coverage, the base station may indicate resource pool information on a frequency set in advance by a bitmap, or resource pool information on a frequency set directly by the base station may be indicated by a bitmap.

In the present and subsequent embodiments, a method for a resource pool having non-contiguous PRBs is provided, but this is not limited thereto, and the same can be applied to a resource pool having contiguous PRBs.

<Second Example>

In the second embodiment of the present invention, a method of classifying information on a non-contiguous resource pool in frequency into a plurality of sub-channels when a non-contiguous resource pool location information is indicated through a bitmap as in the above-described first embodiment is described. The sub-channel configuration method provided in the present embodiment may include identifying a PRB, which is physical location information of a resource pool that is non-contiguous in frequency through a bitmap, and mapping it to a Logical Resource Block (LRB). This will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 4.

FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining a method of dividing information into a plurality of sub-channels when non-contiguous resource pool location information in frequency is indicated according to an embodiment.

4-10 shows a PRB in which a resource pool that is discontinuous in frequency is located. And Figure 4-20 shows the result of mapping this to LRB. Here, the term of LRB may be replaced with another term such as VRB (Virtual Resource Block). More specifically, the LRB is a result of sequentially mapping only portions set as bi=1 in Equation 1 above. Therefore, the length of the LRB is the number of RBs set in the resource pool on the actual frequency. In addition, the subchannel configuration method provided in the present embodiment next includes the step of allocating the LRB to the subchannel. When the resource pool in the SL BWP consists of NsubCH subchannels, the index nLRB(m) of the LRB corresponding to the subchannel m (m=0,1,..., NsubCH-1) is expressed by Equation 2-1. Can be. In this and subsequent embodiments, the index of LRB may be referred to as an LRB number or an LRB number.

[Equation 2-1]

nLRB(m)=m* nsubCHsize +j, for j=0,1,..., nsubCHsize -1

라는 관계식이 만족될 수 있다. Here, nsubCHsize represents the size of a subchannel and may be set to one or more RBs. In addition, NsubCH and nsubCHsize may be indicated by higher signaling. When the subchannel classification method is used, a step of allocating and mapping each subchannel as an LRB number in a resource pool corresponding to PSSCH or PSCCH and interpreting the LRB number as a PRB number is required. Interpretation of the LRB number as a PRB number is possible through non-contiguous resource pool location information on a frequency indicated through a bitmap. That is, information on PRBs belonging to the corresponding resource pool may be determined based on (b0, b1,...,bi,...,bLbitmap-1) of Equation 1. For example, nLRB-to-PRB(k) may be defined as a PRB index or PRB number or PRB number corresponding to the k-th LRB. In this case, if (b0, b1,...,bi,...,bLbitmap-1) is given as in Equation 1 above,

The relational expression of can be satisfied.

If the size is set differently for each subchannel, the index nLRB(m) of the LRB corresponding to the subchannel m (m=0,1,..., NsubCH-1) is as follows from Equation 2-1. Can be transformed together.

[Equation 2-2]

nLRB(m)=m* nsubCHsize(m)+j, for j=0,1,..., nsubCHsize(m)-1

Here, nsubCHsize(m) represents the size of the subchannel corresponding to the m-th subchannel, and may be set to one or more RBs. Therefore, unlike in Equation 2-1, m number of nsubCHsizes may be indicated as higher level signaling.

<Third Example>

In the third embodiment of the present disclosure, another method of dividing the position information of the resource pool into a plurality of sub-channels when non-contiguous resource pool location information in frequency is indicated through the bitmap in the first embodiment is described. In the third embodiment, unlike in the second embodiment, the step of identifying the PRB, which is the physical location information of the non-contiguous resource pool, and mapping it to the LRB is not included. However, in the method of the third embodiment, it is assumed that the subchannel is always composed of continuous PRBs. In the SL BWP, when the resource pool is composed of NsubCH subchannels and the subchannel is composed of continuous PRBs, the PRB corresponding to subchannel m (m=0,1,..., NsubCH-1) is Equation 3- It can be expressed as 1.

[Equation 3-1]

nPRB=nsubCHRBstart(m) +j, for j=0,1,..., nsubCHsize -1

Here, nsubCHsize represents the size of a subchannel and may be set to one or more RBs. In addition, NsubCH and nsubCHsize may be indicated as higher layers. nsubCHRBstart(m) indicates the start position of the subchannel corresponding to the m-th subchannel, which can be known through information about the location of a non-contiguous resource pool on a frequency indicated through a bitmap. Therefore, when the method of Equation 3-1 is used, it is necessary to receive information about the location of a resource pool that is discontinuous in frequency as bitmap information. In addition, a step of allocating a resource pool corresponding to PSSCH or PSCCH as a PRB number corresponding to a start position for each sub-channel and analyzing it is required.

If the size of each subchannel is set differently, the index nPRB of the PRB corresponding to the subchannel m (m = 0, 1,..., NsubCH-1) may be modified as follows from Equation 3-1. have.

[Equation 3-2]

nPRB=nsubCHRBstart(m) +j, for j=0,1,..., nsubCHsize(m)-1

Here, nsubCHsize(m) represents the size of the subchannel corresponding to the m-th subchannel, and may be set to one or more RBs. Therefore, unlike in Equation 3-1, m number of nsubCHsizes may be indicated as higher level signaling.

<Fourth Example>

In the fourth embodiment of the present disclosure, unlike the first embodiment, a method of indicating the start position of each subchannel with respect to a non-contiguous resource pool may be used without indicating non-contiguous resource pool location information through a bitmap. . Accordingly, the subchannel configuration method provided in the present embodiment may include indicating the start position of each subchannel. Specifically, this will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 5.

FIG. 5 is a diagram for describing a method of indicating a start position of each subchannel with respect to a non-contiguous resource pool according to an embodiment.

5-10 shows a PRB in which a resource pool non-contiguous in frequency is located. When the resource pool in the SL BWP consists of NsubCH non-contiguous subchannels, StartRBSubchannel, which is the physical location information of each subchannel, is indicated, so that the location of the noncontiguous resource in frequency can be determined. Such information may be indicated through SL SIB or UE-specific higher level signaling. In the method of the fourth embodiment, it is assumed that the subchannels are always composed of continuous PRBs. When the resource pool in the SL BWP consists of NsubCH non-contiguous subchannels, the PRB corresponding to subchannel m (m = 0, 1,..., NsubCH-1) may be expressed by Equation 4-1. .

[Equation 4-1]

nPRB=nsubCHRBstart (m) +j, for j=0,1,..., nsubCHsize -1

Here, nsubCHsize represents the size of a subchannel and may be set to one or more RBs. In addition, NsubCH and nsubCHsize may be indicated as higher layers. nsubCHRBstart (m) represents the start position on the frequency corresponding to subchannel m. Therefore, when the method of Equation 4-1 is used, it is necessary to receive start position information for each subchannel in a resource pool that is not continuous in frequency in the SL BWP. In addition, a step of allocating a resource pool corresponding to PSSCH or PSCCH as a PRB number corresponding to a starting position for each sub-channel and analyzing it is required.

If the size is set differently for each subchannel, the index nPRB of the PRB corresponding to subchannel m (m=0,1,..., NsubCH-1) will be modified as follows from Equation 4-1. I can.

[Equation 4-2]

nPRB=nsubCHRBstart(m) +j, for j=0,1,..., nsubCHsize(m)-1

Here, nsubCHsize(m) represents the size of the subchannel corresponding to the m-th subchannel, and may be set to one or more RBs. Therefore, unlike in Equation 4-1, m number of nsubCHsizes may be indicated as higher level signaling.

<Fifth Example>

In the fifth embodiment, a method of indicating non-contiguous resource pool location information in time through a bitmap is proposed. First, the location information on the resource pool in time may be expressed as bitmap information (b0, b1,...,bi,...,bLbitmap-1) as shown in Equation 1 above. Here, when bi=1, an area set as a resource pool in time may be indicated, and when bi=0, an area not set as a resource pool in time may be indicated. In addition, Lbitmap is the length of the bitmap and can be determined according to the slot format. Details are described in more detail below. The slot format can be set more flexibly, in units of slots and symbols, for uplink and downlink and flexible time resources. Here, flexible can be reset to uplink and downlink as needed. Physical location information including the start location of the resource pool in time may be identified through the bitmap.

As described above with reference to FIG. 3, the following two methods may be considered for resource allocation in time.

Time resource allocation method 1: A method in which time resource allocation is performed based on slots and all symbols in the slot

Time resource allocation method 2: not based on all symbols in a slot, but based on a subset consisting of consecutive symbols in a slot

*Method 2 may not be considered for use in the ITS (Intelligent Transport System) band.

* When considering Method 2, information of the corresponding subset is not dynamically indicated to the terminal. Here, the information on the subset may be information on the number of symbols in the subset and location information in the slot. Here, the number of symbols of the subset and the location information in the slot may be (pre-)configurated in the resource pool. If the subset is dynamically indicated to the UE and the subset information changes, the UE performs sensing for resource selection in sidelink communication. Problems may arise during the process.

Although method 1 and method 2 have been separately described above, in general, the start position of the symbol allocated to the PSSCH and the length of the symbol may be (pre-)configurated in the resource pool.

In this and subsequent embodiments, for convenience of description, the method 1 is assumed and described, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

The configuration for the slot format may be commonly indicated to the UEs that have received the base station through SL SIB in units of A slots. Here, A represents a period in which the slot format is set, and the slot format set in units of A may be repeated over time. However, the slot format set through the SL SIB can be changed later through the RRC configuration of the base station or the PC5 RRC configuration of the sidelink. In this case, it is possible to reset the slot corresponding to the flexible to the uplink and downlink in the currently set slot format.

In addition, it is possible to change the slot format through DCI (Downlink Control Information) transmitted by the base station or the terminal through SCI (Sidelink Control Information) through the sidelink. At this time, it is also possible to reset the slot corresponding to the flexible to the uplink and downlink in the currently set slot format. The final slot format setting in the sidelink may vary depending on whether the terminal is within or outside the coverage of the base station, and whether data transmission is in a broadcast mode or a unicast and groupcast mode. Specifically, when the terminal is outside the coverage of the base station, it is impossible to change the slot format from the base station RRC configuration. In addition, even when the terminal is in a broadcast mode and PC5 RRC connection of the sidelink between terminals is not established, it is impossible to change the slot format from the PC5 RRC configuration. For specific details in this regard, refer to Examples 6 and 7. Since the sidelink is a channel transmitted by the terminal, a channel configured as an uplink in a slot format may be used as a sidelink channel. Accordingly, in the bitmap (b0, b1,...,bi,...,bLbitmap-1) indicating the resource pool location information in time, the Lbitmap may be determined as a ratio of the slot configured as the uplink in the slot format. The following methods may be considered depending on whether the time resource allocation method 1 or method 2 is applied.

Time-based resource allocation method 1:

* In the case of FDD, slots in which some or all of the slots are set to flexible may be excluded from the last set slot format.

* In the case of TDD, a slot in which some or all of the slots are set to downlink or flexible may be excluded from the last set slot format.

Resource allocation method over time 2:

* In the case of FDD, slots in which all of the slots are set to flexible can be excluded from the last set slot format.

*In the case of TDD, slots in which all of the slots are set to downlink or flexible may be excluded from the last set slot format.

Therefore, when the indication of the slot format in the sidelink is indicated in units of A slots, the ratio of the slots occupied by the uplink in the A slots may be Lbitmap. For example, when all of the A slots are configured as uplink, Lbitmap=A. In contrast, when only half of the A slots are configured as uplink slots, Lbitmap = A/2.

The slot tk in which the PSSCH is transmitted through the sidelink is bi=1 and i=k modulo (Lbitmap) in the bitmap (b0,b1,...,bi,...,bLbitmap-1) which is the resource pool location information in time. This is the set area. In other words, the slot tk that satisfies the above condition belongs to the resource pool. Here, the slot index tk is determined based on the slot number 0 of the radio frame corresponding to the SFN (System Frame Number) index 0. In contrast, in the case of synchronization based on GPS or GNSS, the slot index tk is determined based on the slot number 0 of the radio frame corresponding to the DFN (Direct Frame Number) index 0. And k is defined as a value that falls within the following range.

0≤k<(10240*N-Nslss-Ncsirs-Ndfs-Nreserved)

0≤k<(10240*N-Nslss-Ncsirs-Ndfs-Nreserved)

10240*N는 설정된 시간상 리소스 풀이 반복되어 적용되는 최대 범위를 나타내며, 따라서 0≤tk≤10240*N으로 나타내어질 수 있다. NR 사이드링크 시스템에서 10240*N는 다른 값으로 변경될 수 있다. 10240*N값 이후에는 새롭게 설정된 시간상 리소스 풀이 적용될 수 있다. 여기서 N값의 설정으로 다음과 같은 방법들이 고려될 수 있다.

10240*N represents the maximum range to which the resource pool is repeatedly applied over a set time period, and thus may be represented as 0≤tk≤10240*N. In the NR sidelink system, 10240*N can be changed to another value. After the 10240*N value, a newly set timed resource pool may be applied. Here, the following methods may be considered as the setting of the N value.

N=1: 이 경우는 SCS를 고려하지 않는 방법이다.

N=1: In this case, SCS is not considered.

: 이 경우에 SCS에 상관없이 k값의 범위(슬롯 단위)를 시간상 일정하게 유지시키기 위한 방법이다.

: In this case, this is a method to keep the range of k values (slot units) constant in time regardless of the SCS.

: 이 경우에 SCS가 증가될수록 시간상 슬롯 구간 길이가 감소하므로 k값의 범위(슬롯 단위)가 시간상

배로 감소되는 방법이다.

: In this case, as the SCS increases, the length of the slot section decreases in time, so the range of k value (slot unit) is

This is how it is reduced by double.

The μ is an index corresponding to numerology and may be set to the following values according to the SCS.

SCS=15kHz, μ=0

SCS=15kHz, μ=0

SCS=30kHz, μ=1

SCS=30kHz, μ=1

SCS=60kHz, μ=2

SCS=60kHz, μ=2

SCS=120kHz, μ=3

SCS=120kHz, μ=3

Nslss는 사이드링크 동기 신호가 전송되는 슬롯들을 나타내며, 이는 PSSCH가 전송되는 슬롯 tk에서 제외될 수 있다.

Nslss represents slots in which a sidelink synchronization signal is transmitted, and this may be excluded from slot tk in which a PSSCH is transmitted.

Ncsirs는 사이드링크 CSI-RS (Channel State Information Reference Signal)가 전송되는 슬롯들을 나타내며, 이는 PSSCH가 전송되는 슬롯 tk에서 제외될 수 있다. 만약, 이를 고려하지 않을 경우 Ncsirs=0이 된다.

Ncsirs denotes slots in which a sidelink CSI-RS (Channel State Information Reference Signal) is transmitted, which may be excluded from slot tk in which PSSCH is transmitted. If this is not considered, Ncsirs = 0.

Ndfs는 슬롯 포멧에서 사이드링크 신호를 전송할 수 없는 슬롯들을 나타내며 상기 설명한 바와 같이 FDD의 경우에는 최종 설정된 슬롯 포멧에서 슬롯의 일부 또는 전부가 flexible로 설정된 슬롯들을 의미하며, TDD의 경우에는 최종 설정된 슬롯 포멧에서 슬롯의 일부 또는 전부가 하향링크 또는 flexible로 설정된 슬롯을 의미한다. 이는 PSSCH가 전송되는 슬롯 tk에서 제외될 수 있다. 만약, Ndfs에 해당되는 슬롯이 존재하지 않을 경우에 Ndfs=0이 된다.

Ndfs refers to slots in which the sidelink signal cannot be transmitted in the slot format. As described above, in the case of FDD, part or all of the slots are set to flexible in the last-set slot format, and in the case of TDD, the last-set slot format. Means a slot in which some or all of the slots are set to downlink or flexible. This may be excluded from slot tk in which the PSSCH is transmitted. If there is no slot corresponding to Ndfs, Ndfs=0.

Nreserved는 설정된 시간상 리소스 풀이 반복되어 적용되는 최대 범위인 10240*N의 크기를 맞추기 위해 설정되는 reserved 슬롯들을 나타낸다.

Nreserved represents reserved slots set to meet the size of 10240*N, which is the maximum range to which the resource pool is repeatedly applied over a set time.

10240*N의 범위로 나타내어질 수 있다. 여기서 N의 값은 전술한 바와 같이, SCS를 고려하여 결정될 수 있다. 또한 자원 풀로 설정된 슬롯에서 PSSCH가 전송되는 심볼 위치는 자원 풀에 설정된 PSSCH 심볼의 시작위치 및 심볼 길이로부터 해석될 수 있다. 상기 해석에 기초하여, 단말은 사이드링크의 리소스 풀로 설정된 슬롯의 적어도 일부 심볼에서 PSSCH를 전송할 수 있다. According to the present disclosure, the terminal may determine the time position at which the sidelink resource is transmitted and transmit the resource at the corresponding position. For example, the base station may indicate sidelink TDD configuration information through PSBCH (Physical Sidelink Boroadcast Channel). Here, the TDD configuration information may be downlink, uplink, and flexible slot information. In the sidelink, the UE can transmit the sidelink resource in a slot configured as uplink by the base station cell-specifically. Next, the terminal may indicate bitmap information (b0, b1,...,bi,...,bLbitmap-1), which is location information in time for the resource pool, through sidelink SIB information. For example, it could be Lbitmap=100bits. The slot tk in which the PSSCH is transmitted through the sidelink is set as bi=1 and i=k modulo (Lbitmap) in the bitmap (b0,b1,..,bi,...,bLbitmap-1) which is the resource pool location information in time. Area. Where tk is 0

It can be expressed in the range of 10240*N. Here, the value of N may be determined in consideration of the SCS, as described above. In addition, the symbol position at which the PSSCH is transmitted in the slot set as the resource pool may be interpreted from the start position and the symbol length of the PSSCH symbol set in the resource pool. Based on the interpretation, the terminal may transmit the PSSCH in at least some symbols of the slot set as the resource pool of the sidelink.

In the present embodiment, a method for a resource pool that is not continuous in time is provided, but this is only an example, and the above-described method can be applied to a resource pool that is continuous in time.

<Sixth Example>

In the sixth embodiment, a method of allocating scheduled resources (mode 1) in the NR system will be described in more detail. 6 is a diagram illustrating a data transmission procedure of a V2X terminal according to scheduled resource allocation (mode 1) in a sidelink transmission mode, according to an embodiment.

The terminal 6-01 camping on (6-05) can receive (6-10) the SL SIB from the base station 6-03. The system information may include resource pool information for transmission/reception, configuration information for a sensing operation, information for setting synchronization, information for inter-frequency transmission/reception, and the like. When data traffic for V2X is generated in the terminal 6-01, the terminal 6-01 may perform an RRC connection with the base station (6-20). The RRC connection process may be performed before data traffic is generated. The terminal 6-01 may request a transmission resource capable of V2X communication with the other terminals 6-02 from the base station 6-03 (6-30). At this time, the terminal 6-01 may request a transmission resource for V2X communication from the base station 6-03 using an RRC message or MAC CE. Here, the RRC message may be a SidelinkUEInformation or UEAssistanceInformation message. Meanwhile, the MAC CE may be, for example, a buffer status report MAC CE of a new format (including at least an indicator indicating that a buffer status report for V2X communication and information on the size of data buffered for D2D communication).

The base station 6-03 may allocate a V2X transmission resource to the terminal 6-01 through a dedicated Uu RRC message. This message can be included in the RRCConnectionReconfiguration message. The resource allocation may be a V2X resource through Uu or a resource for PC5 according to the type of traffic requested by the terminal or whether the corresponding link is congested. For the determination, the UE may additionally transmit PPPP (ProSe Per Packet Priority) or LCID information of V2X traffic through UEAssistanceInformation or MAC CE.

Since the base station 6-03 also knows information on resources used by other terminals, it can allocate a remaining resource pool among the resources requested by the terminal 6-01 (6-35). The base station 6-03 may instruct the terminal 6-01 for final scheduling by transmitting DCI through the PDCCH (6-40). Next, in the case of broadcast transmission, the UE 6-01 transmits SCI (Sidelink Control Information) to other UEs 6-02 through the broadcast PSCCH without additional sidelink PC5 RRC configuration (6-50). Can broadcast (6-60). In addition, the terminal 6-01 may broadcast data to other terminals 6-02 through the PSSCH (6-70).

In contrast, in the case of unicast and groupcast transmission, after performing the PC5 RRC connection of the sidelink (6-50), the terminal 6-01 sends SCI (Sidelink Control) to other terminals 6-02 through the PSCCH. Information) can be transmitted through unicast and groupcast (6-60). At this time, the groupcast transmission of SCI may be interpreted as a group SCI. In addition, the terminal may transmit data to other terminals 6-02 through the PSSCH through unicast and groupcast (6-70).

<Seventh Example>

In the seventh embodiment, the UE autonomous resource allocation (mode 2) method in the NR system is more specifically presented. 7 is a diagram illustrating a data transmission procedure of a V2X terminal according to UE autonomous resource allocation (mode 2) in a sidelink transmission mode according to an embodiment. Unlike FIG. 6 in which the base station is directly involved in resource allocation, in FIG. 7, the terminal 7-01 can autonomously select a resource and transmit data based on a resource pool previously received through system information.

In V2X communication, the base station 7-03 may allocate various types of resource pools (V2V resource pool, V2P resource pool) for the terminal 7-01. The resource pool may consist of a resource pool in which the terminal can autonomously select an available resource pool after sensing resources used by other terminals around it, and a resource pool in which the terminal randomly selects a resource from a preset resource pool. have. The terminal 7-01 camping on (7-05) can receive (7-10) the SIB from the base station 7-03. The system information may include resource pool information for transmission/reception, configuration information for a sensing operation, information for setting synchronization, information for inter-frequency transmission/reception, and the like. The major difference in the operation of FIGS. 6 and 7 is that in FIG. 6, the base station 7-03 and the terminal 7-01 operate in a state in which RRC is connected, whereas in FIG. 7, the RRC is not connected in the idle mode ( 7-20) can also work. In addition, in FIG. 7, unlike FIG. 6, even when the RRC is connected (7-20), the base station 7-03 does not directly participate in resource allocation and may operate so that the terminal autonomously selects a transmission resource.

When data traffic for V2X is generated in the terminal 7-01, the terminal 7-01 transmits a set transmission operation from the resource pool received through system information from the base station 7-03 (transmission once dynamically allocated, dynamic According to allocation multiple transmission, sensing-based one-time transmission, sensing-based multiple transmission, and random transmission), a resource pool in the time/frequency domain may be selected (7-30). Next, in the case of broadcast transmission, the terminal 7-01 transmits SCI (Sidelink Control Information) to the other terminals 7-02 through the PSCCH by broadcast without setting the PC5 RRC of the additional sidelink (7-40). Can broadcast (7-50). In addition, the terminal 7-01 may broadcast data to other terminals 7-02 through the PSSCH (7-60). In contrast, in the case of unicast and groupcast transmission, after performing the PC5 RRC connection of the sidelink (7-40), the terminal 7-01 sends SCI (Sidelink) to the other terminals 7-02 through the PSCCH. Control Information) can be transmitted through unicast and groupcast (7-50). In this case, groupcast transmission of SCI may be interpreted as group SCI. In addition, the terminal 7-01 may transmit data to other terminals 7-02 through the PSSCH through unicast and groupcast (7-60).

In order to perform the embodiments of the present disclosure, a transmitting unit, a receiving unit, and a processing unit of a terminal and a base station are shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, respectively. In the above embodiment, radio link monitoring (RLM) and RLF (Radio Link Monitoring) and RLF (RLM) in the process of transmitting and receiving information using a side link between a vehicle terminal supporting vehicle communication (V2X) and other vehicle terminals and pedestrian mobile terminals. Radio Link Failure) and the operation of the terminal are shown, and in order to perform this, the base station, the reception unit, the processing unit, and the transmission unit of the terminal must operate according to the embodiments.

<Eighth Example>

FIG. 8 is a diagram for describing a method for a transmitting terminal to indicate information on a DMRS port for a PSSCH in a sidelink according to an embodiment. In the method for indicating information on the DMRS port for the PSSCH according to the eighth embodiment of the present disclosure, specific signaling information may be determined according to the following conditions.

* Condition 1: Maximum number of orthogonal DMRS ports supported for SU-MIMO per terminal

** The DMRS port indication method may vary depending on condition 1.

* Condition 2: Maximum number of orthogonal DMRS ports supported for MU-MIMO per terminal

** The DMRS port indication method may vary depending on condition 2.

* Condition 3: DMRS configuration type used

** The DMRS port indication method may be determined by condition 3. In this case, the DMRS configuration type of condition 3 may be, for example, a DMRS pattern type 1 or a DMRS pattern type 2. However, embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto, and the number of patterns that can be used may be changed.

** For example, the DMRS pattern type1 may refer to 10-10 of FIG. 8. Referring to 10-10 of FIG. 8, when a DMSR is transmitted in one symbol, a DMRS port number mapped to a PSSCH RE can be identified. Specifically, DMRS ports 0 and 1 may be mapped to odd REs based on the bottom RE, and DMRS ports 2 and 3 may be mapped to even REs. In addition, a location where DMRS ports 0 and 1 are transmitted is CDM group 0, and a location where DMRS ports 2 and 3 are transmitted is CDM group 1.

** In addition, DMRS pattern type2 may refer to 10-20 of FIG. 8. Referring to 10-20 of FIG. 8, when a DMSR is transmitted in one symbol, a DMRS port number mapped to a PSSCH RE is shown. Specifically, DMRS port 0 and DMRS port 1 may be mapped to the blue RE based on the bottom RE, and DMRS port 2 and DMRS port 3 may be mapped to the green RE. In addition, DMRS port 4 and DMRS port 5 can be mapped to the red RE. In addition, the location where DMRS port 0 and DMRS port 1 are transmitted is CDM group 0, and the location where DMRS port 2 and DMRS port 3 are transmitted is CDM group 1. do. In addition, a location where DMRS port 4 and DMRS port 5 are transmitted is CDM group 2.

** However, the pattern types 1 and 2 are not limited to 10-10 and 10-20 of FIG. 8, and various DMRS patterns (eg, patterns set by a base station or defined in a standard) may be used. Is self-explanatory.

** The DMRS configuration type may be (pre-)configuration in the resource pool.

* Condition 4: Whether the number of DMRS CDM groups is indicated

** The DMRS port indication method may vary depending on condition 4.

** When indicating the number of DMRS CDM groups, the following DMRS power boosting may be assumed.

*** When the number of CDM groups is 1, the ratio of PSSCH EPRE to DMRS EPRE (EPRE) of PSSCH and DMRS is assumed to be a predetermined value or a set value (eg, 0 dB).

*** When the number of CDM groups is 2, the ratio of PSSCH EPRE to DMRS EPRE (EPRE) of PSSCH and DMRS is assumed to be a predetermined value or a set value (eg, -3dB).

*** When the number of CDM groups is 3, the ratio of PSSCH EPRE to DMRS EPRE (EPRE) of PSSCH and DMRS is assumed to be a predetermined value or a set value (eg, -4.77dB).

** When indicating the number of DMRS CDM groups, when MU-MIMO is supported, the receiving terminal can receive help in emulation of MU interference.

** SCI signaling can be considered as a method of dynamically indicating the number of DMRS CDM groups. Unlike this, the number of DMRS CDM groups may be (pre-)configurated in the resource pool. In the former case, there is an advantage in that the number of DMRS CDM groups can be dynamically adjusted to suit a channel situation, and in the latter case, there is an advantage in that SCI signaling overhead can be reduced.

stage SCI로 DMRS port의 지시 방법의 예가 아래에 도시 되었다. 상기 조건3에 의해 DMRS configuration type이 자원 풀에 (pre-)configuration될 경우에 설정되어 있는 DMRS configuration type에 따라 아래 해당 지시 방법이 해석되어 적용될 수 있다. 또한 아래 예시에서 조건4가 SCI로 DMRS CDM group수를 지시하지 않는 경우는 DMRS CDM group수의 시그널링이 지원되지 않는 경우를 의미하거나, DMRS CDM group수가 자원 풀에 (pre-)configuration되어 해당 설정을 가정하는 경우일 수 있다.In this case, information for indicating the DMRS port may be determined based on at least one of the conditions 1 to 4. Through PSCCH

An example of how to indicate the DMRS port with stage SCI is shown below. When the DMRS configuration type is (pre-)configurated in the resource pool under condition 3, the corresponding indication method below may be interpreted and applied according to the DMRS configuration type set. In addition, in the example below, if condition 4 does not indicate the number of DMRS CDM groups by SCI, it means that signaling of the number of DMRS CDM groups is not supported, or the number of DMRS CDM groups is (pre-)configurated in the resource pool and the corresponding setting is made. This may be the case of assumption.

If the DMRS configuration type is (pre-)configuration in the resource pool and the number of DMRS CDM groups is (pre-)configurated in the resource pool, the terminal interprets the DMRS configuration type and the number of DMRS CDM groups from the resource pool configuration information of the sidelink. A DMRS pattern may be determined from the number of DMRS ports indicated by SCI, and may be mapped to PSSCH resources for transmission.
