Abstract

Provided are a method for transmitting a device-to-device (D2D) discovery signal by a terminal in a wireless communication system and the terminal using the method. The method comprises: receiving power information (discMaxTxPower) for transmitting a D2D discovery signal; and determining transmission power for transmitting the D2D discovery signal on the basis of the power information (discMaxTxPower).

Claims (40)

1. A method for transmitting a sidelink synchronization signal (SLSS) and a physical sidelink broadcast channel (PSBCH), performed by a user equipment (UE), in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

determining transmit power for the SLSS and the PSBCH; and

transmitting the SLSS and the PSBCH with the determined transmit power,

wherein if transmission of the SLSS and the PSBCH is triggered simultaneously for both of device-to-device (D2D) discovery and D2D communication, the transmit power for the SLSS and the PSBCH is determined based on power information P-Max for the D2D communication.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmit power for the SLSS and the PSBCH is determined to be a different value in case of being triggered for the D2D discovery and in case of being triggered for the D2D communication.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the power information P-Max for the D2D communication and power information discMaxTxPower for the D2D discovery are received via different system information blocks (SIBs).

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmit power for the SLSS and the PSBCH is determined based on maximum output P CMAX,c at a serving cell c.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the maximum output power P CMAX,c is determined based on a maximum power value P EMAX,C configured by a network; and

the maximum power value P EMAX,C configured by the network is determined by the power information P-Max for the D2D communication.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein if the transmission of the SLSS and the PSBCH is triggered only for D2D communication, the transmit power for the SLSS and the PSBCH is determined based on the power information P-Max for the D2D communication.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein if the transmission of the SLSS and the PSBCH is triggered only for D2D discovery, the transmit power for the SLSS and the PSBCH is determined based on power information discMaxTxPower for the D2D discovery.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmit power for the SLSS and the PSBCH is determined based on maximum output power P CMAX,c at a serving cell c, which is determined by the following equation:

P CMAX _ L,c ≤P CMAX,c ≤P CMAX _ H,c ,

where P CMAX _ L,c and P CMAX _ H,c are determined by the power information P-Max for the D2D communication or power information discMaxTxPower for the D2D discovery.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmit power for the SLSS and the PSBCH is determined based on maximum output power P CMAX,c at a serving cell c, which is determined based on P CMAX _ L,c and P CMAX _ H,c according to the following equations:

P CMAX _ L,c =MIN{ P EMAX,c −ΔT C,c ,P PowerClass −MAX(MPR c +A -MPR c +ΔT IB,c +ΔT C,c ,P -MPR c )}, and

P CMAX _ H,c =MIN{ P EMAX,c ,P PowerClass },

where P EMAX,C is a value configured by a network and determined by the power information P-Max for the D2D communication, ΔT C,c is an allowed operating band edge transmission power relaxation for a serving cell c, P PowerClass is a nominal UE power, P-MPR c is an allowed maximum output power reduction, A-MPR c is an additional maximum power reduction for the serving cell c, and ΔT IB,c is an allowed maximum configured output power relaxation due to support for inter-band carrier aggregation (CA) operation for the serving cell c.

10. A user equipment comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) transceiver that transmits and receives a radio signal; and

a processor that is operatively coupled to the RF transceiver, and that:

determines transmit power for a sidelink synchronization signal (SLSS) and a physical sidelink broadcast channel (PSBCH), and

controls the RF transceiver to transmit the SLSS and the PSBCH with the determined transmit power,

wherein if transmission of the SLSS and the PSBCH is triggered simultaneously for both of device-to-device (D2D) discovery and D2D communication, the transmit power for the SLSS and the PSBCH is determined based on power information P-Max for the D2D communication.

11. The user equipment of claim 10 , wherein the transmit power for the SLSS and the PSBCH is determined to be a different value in case of being triggered for the D2D discovery and in case of being triggered for the D2D communication.

12. The user equipment of claim 10 , wherein the power information P-Max for the D2D communication and power information discMaxTxPower for the D2D discovery are received via different system information blocks (SIBs).
