determining, by the controller, a zone identifier based on configuration information of the selected zone type, the configuration information of the selected zone type being included in the zone configuration information;

transmitting, by the controller, to the base station the selected zone type and the determined zone identifier; and

performing, by the controller, sidelink communication using a resource pool mapped to the determined zone identifier among resource pool(s) indicated by the resource pool configuration information,

wherein the plurality of zone types have different zone-sizes, and a zone-size of the selected zone type is different from a zone-size of other zone type except for the selected zone type among the plurality of zone types.

3. The sidelink communication method according to claim 2 , wherein the zone configuration information includes the speed threshold.

4. The sidelink communication method according to claim 2 , wherein the resource pool configuration information includes configuration information of resource pools for the high-zone and configuration information of resource pools for the low-zone.

5. The sidelink communication method according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of zone types are classified into a high-zone, a medium-zone, and a low-zone, the high-zone, the medium-zone, and the low-zone have different sizes, the high-zone is selected among the plurality of zone types when the speed of the UE is equal to or greater than a first speed threshold, the medium- zone is selected among the plurality of zone types when the speed of the UE is less than the first speed threshold and equal to or greater than a second speed threshold, the low-zone is selected among the plurality of zone types when the speed of the UE is less than the second speed threshold, and the first speed threshold is greater than the second speed threshold.

6. The sidelink communication method according to claim 1 , wherein the message is a system information block (SIB).

7. The sidelink communication method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

before receiving the message, transmitting, by the controller, to the base station information regarding a position of the UE and the speed of the UE.

8. An operation method of a base station supporting sidelink communication, comprising:

generating, by a controller, zone configuration information including configuration information of a plurality of zone types;

generating, by the controller, resource pool configuration information including configuration information of resource pools for the plurality of zone types;

transmitting, by the controller, a message including the zone configuration information and the resource pool configuration information to a user equipment (UE); and

receiving, by the controller, from the UE a zone type selected by the UE among the plurality of zone types and a zone identifier determined by UE based on configuration information of the zone type,

wherein the plurality of zone types have different zone-sizes, and a zone-size of one zone type is different from a zone-size of other zone type except for the one zone type among the plurality of zone types.

9. The operation method according to claim 8 , wherein the plurality of zone types are classified into a high-zone and a low-zone, the high-zone and the low-zone have different sizes, the high-zone is selected among the plurality of zone types when the speed of the UE is equal to or greater than a speed threshold, and the low-zone is selected among the plurality of zone types when the speed of the UE is less than the speed threshold.

10. The operation method according to claim 9 , wherein the zone configuration information includes the speed threshold.

11. The operation method according to claim 9 , wherein the resource pool configuration information includes configuration information of resource pools for the high-zone and configuration information of resource pools for the low-zone.
