Abstract

Suggested is a novel condition for a media access control (MAC) entity in user equipment (UE) reselecting a sidelink resource in a wireless communication system. The MAC entity of the UE can reselect a sidelink resource when a configured sidelink grant does not satisfy a latency requirement according to ProSe per-packet priority (PPPP). More particularly, configuration is performed by an upper layer so that the MAC entity transmits on the basis of sensing using a resource pool; the MAC entity selects generation of a configured sidelink grant corresponding to transmission of a plurality of MAC protocol data units (PDU); and when data is available in a sidelink traffic channel (STCH) and the configured sidelink grant does not satisfy the latency requirement according to the PPPP, a sidelink resource is reselected.

Claims (42)

1. A method for reselecting a sidelink resource by a media access control (MAC) entity of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

selecting to configure a sidelink grant corresponding to transmissions of multiple MAC protocol data units (PDUs);

determining that there is data for a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication in a sidelink traffic channel (STCH);

determining that the configured sidelink grant cannot fulfil a latency requirement according to a ProSe per-packet priority (PPPP); and

reselecting the sidelink resource,

wherein the MAC entity is configured by an upper layer to transmit based on sensing by using a resource pool.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reselecting the sidelink resource is performed for each sidelink process configured for multiple transmissions based on sensing.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reselecting the sidelink resource comprises:

clearing the configured sidelink grant.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reselecting the sidelink resource comprises:

randomly selecting, with equal probability, an integer value in an interval between 5 and 15, and

setting a value of a sidelink resource reselection counter to the selected integer value.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reselecting the sidelink resource comprises:

selecting a number of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) retransmissions from allowed numbers configured by the upper layer in allowedRetxNumberPSSCH, and an amount of frequency resources within the range configured by the upper layer between minRB-NumberPSSCH and maxRB-NumberPSSCH.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reselecting the sidelink resource comprises:

selecting an integer value in an interval between 1 and 10 from allowed values configured by the upper layer in restrictResourceReservationPeriod, and

setting a resource reservation interval by multiplying 100 with the selected integer value.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the reselecting the sidelink resource comprises:

randomly selecting time and frequency resources for transmission opportunities of sidelink control information (SCI) and sidelink shared channel (SL-SCH) corresponding to a number of transmissions of MAC PDUs with the resource reservation interval from the resource pool, excluding resources indicated by a physical layer.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the upper layer is a radio resource control (RRC) layer of the UE.

9. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a memory;

a transceiver; and

a processor, operably coupled to the memory and the transceiver, that:

selects to configure a sidelink grant corresponding to transmissions of multiple media access control (MAC) protocol data units (PDUs);

determines that there is data for a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication in a sidelink traffic channel (STCH);

determines that the configured sidelink grant cannot fulfil a latency requirement according to a ProSe per-packet priority (PPPP); and

reselects a sidelink resource,

wherein a MAC entity of the UE is configured by an upper layer to transmit based on sensing by using a resource pool.

10. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the reselecting the sidelink resource is performed for each sidelink process configured for multiple transmissions based on sensing.

11. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the reselecting the sidelink resource comprises:

clearing the configured sidelink grant.

12. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the reselecting the sidelink resource comprises:

randomly selecting, with equal probability, an integer value in an interval between 5 and 15, and

setting a value of a sidelink resource reselection counter to the selected integer value.

13. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the reselecting the sidelink resource comprises:

selecting a number of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) retransmissions from allowed numbers configured by the upper layer in allowedRetxNumberPSSCH, and an amount of frequency resources within the range configured by the upper layer between minRB-NumberPSSCH and maxRB-NumberPSSCH.

14. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the reselecting the sidelink resource comprises:

selecting an integer value in an interval between 1 and 10 from allowed values configured by the upper layer in restrictResourceReservationPeriod, and

setting a resource reservation interval by multiplying 100 with the selected integer value.

15. The UE of claim 14 , wherein the reselecting the sidelink resource comprises:

randomly selecting time and frequency resources for transmission opportunities of sidelink control information (SCI) and sidelink shared channel (SL-SCH) corresponding to a number of transmissions of MAC PDUs with the resource reservation interval from the resource pool, excluding resources indicated by a physical layer.
