Abstract

Provided is a terminal including: a receiving unit that acquires any one or both position information of a reception terminal and position information of a third terminal; and a control unit that performs resource exclusion processing by a specific method with respect to a reserved resource by the third terminal within a specific range from the reception terminal on the basis of the position information acquired by the receiving unit in identification processing of candidates of a transmission resource that is used in a sidelink.

Claims (22)

1 . A terminal comprising:

a receiving unit that acquires any one or both position information of a reception terminal and position information of a third terminal; and

a control unit that performs resource exclusion processing by a specific method with respect to a reserved resource by the third terminal within a specific range from the reception terminal on the basis of the position information acquired by the receiving unit in identification processing of candidates of a transmission resource that is used in a sidelink,

wherein the control unit corrects a threshold value based on a priority of the third terminal which is used in the resource exclusion processing.

2 . The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit,

excludes the reserved resource from the set of the candidates without depending on a reception power of a signal received from the third terminal, or

corrects a reception power that is used in the resource exclusion processing.

3 . A terminal comprising:

a receiving unit that acquires any one or both position information of a reception terminal and position information of a third terminal; and

a control unit that preferentially selects a resource other than a reserved resource by the third terminal within a specific range from the reception terminal on the basis of the position information acquired by the receiving unit in resource selection processing of selecting a transmission resource that is used from a set of candidates of a transmission resource that is used in a sidelink,

wherein the control unit corrects a selection probability based on the position information acquired by the receiving unit.

4 . The terminal according to claim 3 , wherein the control unit,

uses selection probability lower than selection probability of a resource other than the reserved resource as selection probability of the reserved resource, or

in a case where a resource other than the reserved resource exists in the set of the candidates, selects the resource.

5 . A terminal comprising:

a receiving unit that acquires any one or both position information of a reception terminal and position information of a third terminal; and

a control unit that selects a transmission resource scheduled to be used from a set of candidates of a transmission resource that is used in a sidelink, and determines whether or not to perform an operation related to pre-emption depending on whether or not the reception terminal and the third terminal are within a specific range on the basis of the position information acquired by the receiving unit in a case where the transmission resource scheduled to be used is reserved by the third terminal,

wherein the operation related to pre-emption selects the transmission resource to be used based on a priority of the third terminal.

6 . A resource control method executed by a terminal, the method comprising:

a reception step of acquiring any one or both position information of a reception terminal and position information of a third terminal; and

a step of performing resource exclusion processing by a specific method with respect to a reserved resource by the third terminal within a specific range from the reception terminal on the basis of the position information acquired by the reception step in identification processing of candidates of a transmission resource that is used in a sidelink,

wherein a threshold value is corrected based on a priority of the third terminal which is used in the resource exclusion processing.
