Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method executed by a user equipment, and a user equipment. The method includes receiving system information from a base station, the system information including time division duplexing (TDD) configuration information; and transmitting sidelink communication system information including sidelink TDD configuration information.

Claims (32)

1. A method performed by a user equipment, the method comprising:

receiving system information from a base station, the system information including time division duplexing (TDD) configuration information;

selecting a synchronization source from a plurality of sources, including the base station and another user equipment, based on a priority criterion, wherein a priority of the base station is higher than a priority of the other user equipment;

transmitting sidelink communication system information, including sidelink TDD configuration information, based on the synchronization source; and

performing a sidelink communication based on the synchronization source, wherein:

the sidelink communication system information further includes indication information indicating the synchronization source selected by the user equipment, and

the indication information is indicated by at least one of an indication field in the sidelink communication system information, physical sidelink broadcast channel (PSBCH) scrambling or generation of scrambling sequences, and demodulation reference signal (DMRS) sequences for a PSBCH channel estimation.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the synchronization source comprises an evolved base station (eNB) or a new radio (NR) base station (gNB).

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein in a case that the synchronization source, indicated by indication information, is the eNB, the indication information further indicates that the sidelink TDD configuration information in the sidelink communication system information is interpreted based on Long Term Evolution (LTE) TDD configuration information.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the sidelink communication system information further includes indication information, and the indication information is used for the other user equipment that receives the sidelink communication system information to determine a priority for selecting the synchronization source.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the sidelink TDD configuration information includes one or two configuration patterns, and the one or two configuration patterns include:

at least one of a configuration periodicity and a starting subframe number or a slot number corresponding to the configuration periodicity, or

a number of subframes or slots of a sidelink resource.

6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

configuring a periodicity of a TDD configuration pattern based on a value of a configuration periodicity included in the TDD configuration information, wherein the value of the configuration periodicity includes 6 ms.

7. A user equipment, comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium coupled to the at least one processor and storing one or more computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the user equipment to:

receive system information from a base station, the system information including time division duplexing (TDD) configuration information;

select a synchronization source from a plurality of sources, including the base station and another user equipment, based on a priority criterion, wherein a priority of the base station is higher than a priority of the other user equipment;

transmit sidelink communication system information, including sidelink TDD configuration information, based on the synchronization source; and

perform a sidelink communication based on the synchronization source, wherein:

the sidelink communication system information further includes indication information indicating the synchronization source selected by the user equipment, and

the indication information is indicated by at least one of an indication field in the sidelink communication system information, physical sidelink broadcast channel (PSBCH) scrambling or generation of scrambling sequences, and demodulation reference signal (DMRS) sequences for a PSBCH channel estimation.

8. The user equipment according to claim 7 , wherein the synchronization source comprises an evolved base station (eNB) or a new radio (NR) base station (gNB).

9. The user equipment according to claim 8 , wherein in a case that the synchronization source indicated by indication information is the eNB, the indication information further indicates that the sidelink TDD configuration information in the sidelink communication system information is interpreted based on Long Term Evolution (LTE) TDD configuration information.

10. The user equipment according to claim 7 , wherein the sidelink communication system information further includes indication information, and the indication information is used for the other user equipment that receives the sidelink communication system information to determine a priority for selecting the synchronization source.

11. The user equipment according to claim 7 , wherein the sidelink TDD configuration information includes one or two configuration patterns, and the one or two configuration patterns include:

at least one of a configuration periodicity and a starting subframe number or a slot number corresponding to the configuration periodicity, or

a number of subframes or slots of a sidelink resource.

12. The user equipment according to claim 7 , the operations further comprising:

configuring a periodicity of a TDD configuration pattern based on a value of a configuration periodicity included in the TDD configuration information, wherein the value of the configuration periodicity includes 6 ms.
