Based on the information stored in the memory 62, the microprocessor 61 controls the drive unit 41, the steering unit 42, the accelerator pedal 43, the brake pedal 44, the shift lever 45, the left and right front wheels 46, and the left and right rear wheels provided in the vehicle 40. 47, axle 48, and various sensors 50-58 may be controlled.
- the base station in the present disclosure may be read as a user terminal.
- communication between a base station and a user terminal is replaced with communication between multiple user terminals (for example, Device-to-Device (D2D), Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), etc.)
- the user terminal 20 may have the functions of the base station 10 described above.
- words such as "uplink” and “downlink” may be replaced with words corresponding to communication between terminals (for example, "sidelink”).
- uplink channels, downlink channels, etc. may be read as sidelink channels.
- user terminals in the present disclosure may be read as base stations.
- the base station 10 may have the functions of the user terminal 20 described above.
- operations that are assumed to be performed by the base station may be performed by its upper node in some cases.
- various operations performed for communication with a terminal may involve the base station, one or more network nodes other than the base station (e.g., Clearly, this can be done by a Mobility Management Entity (MME), Serving-Gateway (S-GW), etc. (but not limited to these) or a combination thereof.
- MME Mobility Management Entity
- S-GW Serving-Gateway
- each aspect/embodiment described in the present disclosure may be used alone, may be used in combination, or may be used by switching along with execution. Also, the processing procedures, sequences, flowcharts, etc. of each aspect/embodiment described in the present disclosure may be rearranged as long as there is no contradiction. For example, the methods described in this disclosure present elements of the various steps using a sample order, and are not limited to the specific order presented.

- any reference to elements using the "first,” “second,” etc. designations used in this disclosure does not generally limit the quantity or order of those elements. These designations may be used in this disclosure as a convenient method of distinguishing between two or more elements. Thus, references to first and second elements do not imply that only two elements may be employed or that the first element must precede the second element in any way.
- determining includes judging, calculating, computing, processing, deriving, investigating, looking up, searching, inquiry ( For example, looking up in a table, database, or another data structure), ascertaining, etc. may be considered to be “determining.”
- determining (deciding) includes receiving (e.g., receiving information), transmitting (e.g., transmitting information), input, output, access ( accessing (e.g., accessing data in memory), etc.
- determining is considered to be “determining” resolving, selecting, choosing, establishing, comparing, etc. good too. That is, “determining (determining)” may be regarded as “determining (determining)” some action.
- connection refers to any connection or coupling, direct or indirect, between two or more elements. and can include the presence of one or more intermediate elements between two elements that are “connected” or “coupled” to each other. Couplings or connections between elements may be physical, logical, or a combination thereof. For example, "connection” may be read as "access”.
- radio frequency domain when two elements are connected, using one or more wires, cables, printed electrical connections, etc., and as some non-limiting and non-exhaustive examples, radio frequency domain, microwave They can be considered to be “connected” or “coupled” together using the domain, electromagnetic energy having wavelengths in the optical (both visible and invisible) domain, and the like.
- a and B are different may mean “A and B are different from each other.”
- the term may also mean that "A and B are different from C”.
- Terms such as “separate,” “coupled,” etc. may also be interpreted in the same manner as “different.”

Abstract
Selon un aspect, la présente divulgation concerne un terminal qui comprend : une unité de réception qui reçoit des informations concernant un signal de référence à l'aide d'au moins un élément parmi des informations de commande de liaison descendante (DCI) et un élément de commande (CE) de contrôle d'accès au support (MAC) ; et une unité de commande qui, lorsqu'une ressource du signal de référence sur la base des informations concernant le signal de référence et une ressource d'un autre signal de référence différent du signal de référence sont configurées pour se chevaucher, commande la réception du signal de référence et de l'autre signal de référence. Selon un aspect de la présente divulgation, l'utilisation appropriée de ressources RS peut être obtenue.
