Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5 th -Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4 th -Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. The disclosure is to configure configuration parameter information of a sidelink radio bearer in a wireless communication system. An operation of a terminal may include: determining whether there is a need of an SLRB configuration; obtaining the SLRB configuration; performing sidelink data transmission or reception by using the SLRB configuration; determining whether there is a collision of the SLRB configuration; and performing a procedure of adjusting the collision of the SLRB configuration.

1. A method performed by a first terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a second terminal, a first message including a first sidelink radio bearer (SLRB) configuration;

identifying whether a failure of an access stratum (AS) configuration associated with bi-directional sidelink connection occurs based on whether first information included in the first SLRB configuration collides with second information included in a second SLRB configuration of the first terminal; and

transmitting, to the second terminal, a second message including information indicating the failure of the AS configuration, in case that the failure of the AS configuration is identified,

wherein the first information corresponds to a radio link control (RLC) mode of a logical channel configured based on the first SLRB configuration and the second information corresponds to an RLC mode of a logical channel configured based on the second SLRB configuration.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the second terminal, a third message including information indicating application of the first SLRB configuration, in case that the failure of the AS configuration is not identified based on the RLC mode of the logical channel included in the first SLRB configuration.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the failure of the AS configuration is identified based on the RLC mode of the logical channel included in the first SLRB configuration received from the second terminal and another RLC mode of a logical channel received from a base station.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein sidelink terminal information is transmitted from the second terminal to a base station based on the failure of the AS configuration, and

wherein the sidelink terminal information includes the RLC mode of the logical channel included in the first SLRB configuration and information indicating the failure of the AS configuration.

5. The method of claim 4 ,

wherein a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message including a new SLRB configuration associated with the first SLRB configuration is transmitted from the base station to the second terminal as a response to the sidelink terminal information, and

wherein the sidelink terminal information further includes a sidelink destination identity associated with the failure of the AS configuration.

6. A method performed by a second terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a first terminal, a first message including a first sidelink radio bearer (SLRB) configuration;

receiving, from the first terminal, a second message as a response to the first message; and

identifying a failure of an access stratum (AS) configuration associated with bi-directional sidelink connection in case that the second message corresponds to a message including information indicating the failure of the AS configuration,

wherein whether the failure of the AS configuration associated with bi-directional sidelink connection occurs is determined based on whether first information included in the first SLRB configuration collides with second information included in a second SLRB configuration of the first terminal, and

wherein the first information corresponds to a radio link control (RLC) mode of a logical channel configured based on the first SLRB configuration and the second information corresponds to an RLC mode of a logical channel configured based on the second SLRB configuration.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

identifying the first SLRB configuration is applied to the first terminal, in case that the second message corresponds to a message including information indicating application of the first SLRB configuration.

8. The method of claim 6 ,

transmitting, to a base station, sidelink terminal information including the information indicating the failure of the AS configuration and the RLC mode of the logical channel included in the first SLRB configuration, in case that the failure of the AS configuration is identified; and

receiving, from the base station, a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message including a new SLRB configuration associated with the first SLRB configuration as a response to the sidelink terminal information.

9. The method of claim 8 ,

wherein the sidelink terminal information further includes a sidelink destination identity associated with the failure of the AS configuration.

10. The method of claim 6 ,

wherein a timer is started as a response to a transmission of the first message, and

wherein the timer is stopped as a response to a reception of the second message.

11. A first terminal in a wireless communication system, the first terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

receive, from a second terminal via the transceiver, a first message including sidelink radio bearer (SLRB) configuration,

identify whether a failure of an access stratum (AS) configuration associated with bi-directional sidelink connection is occurred based on whether first information included in the first SLRB configuration collides with second information included in a second SLRB configuration of the first terminal, and

transmit, to the second terminal via the transceiver, a second message including information indicating the failure of the AS configuration, in case that the failure of the AS configuration is identified,

wherein the first information corresponds to a radio link control (RLC) mode of a logical channel configured based on the first SLRB configuration and the second information corresponds to an RLC mode of a logical channel configured based on the second SLRB configuration.
