Abstract

Provided are an operation method in accordance with uplink semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) of a terminal in a wireless communication system and a terminal using the method. The method is characterized by: receiving, from a base station, downlink control information (DCI) for indicating activation or release of uplink SPS; and decoding the DCI on the basis of a first radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) or a second RNTI. If the DCI is a first DCI for SPS for transmitting a signal to the base station, the DCI is decoded on the basis of the first RNTI, and, if the DCI is a second DCI for SPS for transmitting a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) signal, the DCI is decoded on the basis of the second RNTI. And the first RNTI and second RNTI are RNTIs that are different from each other.

receiving, from a base station, downlink control information (DCI) that has a DCI format 0 and that instructs activation of the uplink SPS from a base station;

determining whether the DCI is decodable using a second radio network temporary identifier (RNTI);

based on a determination that the DCI is decodable using the second RNTI: (i) decoding the DCI using the second RNTI, and (ii) determining, based on the decoded DCI, a field that indicates an index of an uplink SPS configuration; and

based on a determination that the DCI is not decodable using the second RNTI: (i) decoding the DCI using a first RNTI different from the second RNTI, and (ii) determining, based on the decoded DCI, the field that indicates a cyclic shift value for a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS),

wherein the second RNTI is an SPS V-RNTI for scheduling Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) sidelink communication, and

wherein the first RNTI is an SPS cell-RNTI (C-RNTI).

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the DCI comprises:

receiving the DCI through a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) or enhanced PDCCH (EPDCCH).

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI is a first DCI, and

wherein the method further comprises receiving, from the base station, a second DCI that has the DCI format 0 and that instructs release of the uplink SPS, wherein the first DCI and the second DCI have a same bit size.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI comprises a field of 3 bits that indicates, based on whether the DCI is decodable using the second RNTI, either (i) the index of the uplink SPS configuration, or (ii) the cyclic shift value for the DM-RS.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the index of the uplink SPS configuration enumerates 8 possible uplink SPS configurations.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

based on the determination that the DCI is decodable using the second RNTI, transmitting a V2X signal to a vehicle or a base station according to the index of the uplink SPS configuration that was determined from the DCI.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

validating the DCI as having a DCI format for V2X sidelink SPS activation or release, based on at least one field of the DCI.

8. A user equipment (UE) configured to perform uplink semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver;

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving, via the transceiver and from a base station, downlink control information (DCI) that has a DCI format 0 and that instructs activation of the uplink SPS;

determining whether the DCI is decodable using a second radio network temporary identifier (RNTI);

based on a determination that the DCI is decodable using the second RNTI: (i) decoding the DCI using the second RNTI, and (ii) determining, based on the decoded DCI, a field that indicates an index of an uplink SPS configuration; and

based on a determination that the DCI is not decodable using the second RNTI: (i) decoding the DCI using a first RNTI different from the second RNTI, and (ii) determining, based on the decoded DCI, the field that indicates a cyclic shift value for a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS),

wherein the second RNTI is an SPS V-RNTI for scheduling Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) sidelink communication, and

wherein the first RNTI is an SPS cell-RNTI (C-RNTI).
