Abstract

Provided are a method for performing wireless communication by a first device and an apparatus supporting same. The method may comprise the steps of: transmitting, to a second device, information related to a first resource on a sidelink (SL) bandwidth part (BWP); and performing SL reception from the second device on a second resource on the SL BWP. The second resource may not overlap with the first resource.

Claims (51)

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

obtaining configuration information related to a universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) user (Uu) bandwidth part (BWP);

obtaining configuration information related to a sidelink (SL) BWP;

transmitting, to a second device, information related to a first resource on the SL BWP;

performing, from the second device, a SL reception based on a second resource on the SL BWP; and

performing a first BWP switching from the SL BWP to the Uu BWP;

wherein the second resource does not overlap with the first resource, and

wherein the first resource includes a third resource overlapping in a time domain with a time period in which the first device communicates with a base station on the Uu BWP.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the SL BWP is a BWP related to SL communication configured for the first device, and

wherein the Uu BWP is at least one of a BWP related to uplink (UL) communication configured for the first device or a BWP related to downlink (DL) communication configured for the first device.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the first resource includes a fourth resource overlapping in the time domain with a time period required for the first BWP switching.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

performing a second BWP switching from the Uu BWP to the SL BWP.

5. The method of claim 4 ,

wherein the first resource includes a fifth resource overlapping in the time domain with a time period required for the second BWP switching.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second resource is selected by the second device based on the information related to the first resource.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

selecting a sixth resource on the SL BWP; and

performing, to the second device, a SL transmission based on the sixth resource on the SL BWP,

wherein the sixth resource does not overlap with the first resource.

8. The method of claim 7 ,

wherein the first resource includes a fourth resource overlapping in the time domain with a time period required for the first BWP switching.

9. A first device adapted to perform wireless communication, the first device comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one processor; and

at least one memory connected to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed, cause the first device to perform operations comprising:

obtaining configuration information related to a universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) user (Uu) bandwidth part (BWP);

obtaining configuration information related to a sidelink (SL) BWP;

transmitting, to a second device, information related to a first resource on the SL BWP;

performing, from the second device, a SL reception based on a second resource on the SL BWP; and

performing a BWP switching from the SL BWP to the Uu BWP;

wherein the second resource does not overlap with the first resource, and

wherein the first resource includes a third resource overlapping in a time domain with a time period in which the first device communicates with a base station on the Uu BWP.

10. The first device of claim 9 ,

wherein the first resource includes a fourth resource overlapping in the time domain with a time period required for the BWP switching.

11. The first device of claim 9 , wherein the SL BWP is a BWP related to SL communication configured for the first device, and

wherein the Uu BWP is at least one of a BWP related to uplink (UL) communication configured for the first device or a BWP related to downlink (DL) communication configured for the first device.

12. A processing device adapted to control a first device, the processing device comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory connected to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed, cause the first device to perform operations comprising:

obtaining configuration information related to a universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) user (Uu) bandwidth part (BWP);

obtaining configuration information related to a sidelink (SL) BWP;

transmitting, to a second device, information related to a first resource on the SL BWP;

performing, from the second device, a SL reception based on a second resource on the SL BWP; and

performing a BWP switching from the SL BWP to the Uu BWP;

wherein the second resource does not overlap with the first resource, and

wherein the first resource includes a third resource overlapping in a time domain with a time period in which the first device communicates with a base station on the Uu BWP.

13. The processing device of claim 12 ,

wherein the first resource includes a fourth resource overlapping in the time domain with a time period required for the BWP switching.
