  • S-SSB for beam management operation and/or S-SSB for synchronization may be set in the terminal through signaling.
  • the transmission resources (e.g., time resources, frequency resources, transmission period) of the S-SSB for beam management operations may be set differently from the transmission resources of the S-SSB for synchronization.
  • the S-SSB for beam management operation may be the same as the S-SSB for synchronization.

Abstract

Sont divulgués un procédé et un dispositif de suivi et de gestion de faisceau basé sur un signal de synchronisation dans une communication de liaison latérale. Un procédé destiné à un premier UE comprend les étapes consistant à : transmettre une demande de BSI à un second UE; transmettre, au second UE, des premiers S-SSB selon la demande de BSI; et recevoir, en provenance du second UE, un premier BSI mesuré sur la base des premiers S-SSB.
