Method for calculating channel busy level by user equipment in wireless communication system and apparatus therefor
A method for calculating a channel busy level (CBL) by a user equipment in a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method comprises monitoring a plurality of synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) blocks within a predetermined window; calculating the CBL by counting dropped SS/PBCH blocks among the plurality of SSBs; configuring parameters for a specific procedure based on the calculated CBL; and performing the specific procedure by using the configured parameters.
1. A method of calculating a channel busy level (CBL) by a user equipment in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving information for calculating the CBL from a network;
monitoring a plurality of synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) blocks within a predetermined window;
calculating the CBL by counting dropped SS/PBCH blocks among the plurality of SS/PBCH blocks or by measuring a time taken to receive the plurality of SS/PBCH blocks;
configuring parameters for a specific procedure based on the calculated CBL; and
performing the specific procedure by using the configured parameters,
wherein calculating the CBL comprises selecting one of possible CBLs,
wherein information for calculating the CBL comprises parameter sets for the possible CBLs.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the specific procedure comprises at least one of a random access (RA) procedure, a beam failure recovery (BFR) procedure and a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) operation.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein based on that the CBL is calculated by counting the dropped SS/PBCH blocks, calculating the CBL comprises:
starting a CBL timer;
until completion of receiving the plurality of SS/PBCH blocks or until the CBL timer expires, counting the dropped SS/PBCH blocks among the plurality of SS/PBCH blocks; and
calculating the CBL based on a number of dropped SS/PBCH blocks.
4. A user equipment (UE) configured to operate in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
a memory; and
at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
receive information for calculating a channel busy level (CBL) from a network;
monitor a plurality of synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) blocks within a predetermined window;
calculate the CBL by counting dropped SS/PBCH blocks among the plurality of SS/PBCH blocks;
configure parameters for a specific procedure based on the calculated CBL; and
perform the specific procedure by using the configured parameters,
wherein the at least one processor is configured to select one of possible CBLs for calculating the CBL,
wherein information for calculating the CBL comprises parameter sets for the possible CBLs.
5. The UE of claim 4 , wherein the specific procedure comprises at least one of a random access (RA) procedure, a beam failure recovery (BFR) procedure and a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) operation.
6. The UE of claim 4 , wherein based on that the CBL is calculated by counting the dropped SS/PBCH blocks, the at least one processor is configured to;
start a CBL timer;
until completion of receiving the plurality of SS/PBCH blocks or until the CBL timer expires, count the dropped SS/PBCH blocks among the plurality of SS/PBCH blocks; and
calculate the CBL based on a number of dropped SS/PBCH blocks.
7. The UE of claim 4 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to implement at least one advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) function based on signals that control the UE.
