Abstract

One embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for transmission a sidelink signal by a terminal in a wireless communication system, and the method comprises: a step of determining a transmission power of a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) and a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH); and a step of transmitting the PSCCH and the PSSCH with the determined transmission power, wherein the PSCCH and the PSSCH are frequency division multiplexed (FDM) in one subframe and transmitted, and when a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) or a modulation order is equal to or larger than a predetermined value, the power offset value for increasing the transmission power is not applied when determining the PSCCH transmission power. The terminal is included in an autonomous vehicle.

Claims (32)

1. A method of transmitting a sidelink signal by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

determining transmission powers of a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) and a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH); and

transmitting the PSCCH and the PSSCH at the determined transmission powers,

wherein a power offset value for boosting the transmission power of the PSCCH is not applied for determining the transmission power of the PSCCH, based on the PSCCH and the PSSCH being transmitted using frequency-division multiplexing (FDM) in one subframe, and based on a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) level or a modulation order being at least a preset value, and

wherein the preset value for the MCS level is 64-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM).

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PSCCH has a size of two resource blocks (RBs).

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein based on the power offset value not being applied for determining the transmission power of the PSCCH:

at least a part of an available power is allocated for an increase in the transmission power of the PSSCH.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the size of the power offset value is separately set according to whether the PSCCH and the PSSCH are continuously transmitted on a frequency axis.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein based on the MCS level or the modulation order being at least the preset value, the PSCCH and the PSSCH are transmitted in different subframes.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein based on the MCS level or the modulation order being at least the preset value, an automatic gain control (AGC) period equal to or longer than a predetermined period is used.

7. A user equipment (UE) configured to transmit a sidelink signal in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transmission device and a reception device; and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to determine transmission powers of a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) and a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH), and transmit the PSCCH and the PSSCH at the determined transmission powers through the transmission device,

wherein the PSCCH and the PSSCH are transmitted using frequency-division multiplexing (FDM) in one subframe,

wherein based on a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) level or a modulation order being at least a preset value, a power offset value for boosting the transmission power of the PSCCH is not applied for determining the transmission power of the PSCCH, and

wherein the preset value for the MCS level is 64-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM).

8. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the PSCCH has a size of two resource blocks (RBs).

9. The UE of claim 7 , wherein based on the power offset value not being applied for determining the transmission power of the PSCCH:

at least a part of an available power is allocated for an increase in the transmission power of the PSSCH.

10. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the size of the power offset value is separately set according to whether the PSCCH and the PSSCH are continuously transmitted on a frequency axis.

11. The UE of claim 7 , wherein based on the MCS level or the modulation order being at least the preset value, the PSCCH and the PSSCH are transmitted in different subframes.

12. The UE of claim 7 , wherein based on the MCS level or the modulation order being at least the preset value, an automatic gain control (AGC) period equal to or longer than a predetermined period is used.

13. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the UE is included in an autonomous vehicle.

14. A processing apparatus configured to control a user equipment (UE) to transmit a sidelink signal in a wireless communication system, the processing apparatus comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connected to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

determining transmission powers of a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) and a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH); and

transmitting the PSCCH and the PSSCH at the determined transmission powers,

wherein a power offset value for boosting the transmission power of the PSCCH is not applied for determining the transmission power of the PSCCH, based on the PSCCH and the PSSCH being transmitted using frequency-division multiplexing (FDM) in one subframe, and based on a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) level or a modulation order being at least a preset value, and

wherein the preset value for the MCS level is 64-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM).
