Abstract

Proposed is an operation method of a first device in a wireless communication system. The method may comprise the steps of: receiving, from a base station, TDD-UL-DL configuration information including information related to a first slot pattern and information related to a second slot pattern; acquiring the number of first SL slots related to the first slot pattern and the number of second SL slots related to the second slot pattern on the basis of first SCS related to SL communication and the TDD-UL-DL configuration information; and transmitting, to a second device, a PSBCH including information related to the number of the first SL slots and information related to the number of the second SL slots.

Claims (42)

1. A method for a first apparatus to perform wireless communication, the method comprising:

receiving time division duplex-uplink-downlink (TDD-UL-DL) configuration information including information related to a first slot pattern and information related to a second slot pattern from a base station,

wherein the information related to the first slot pattern includes information related to a period of the first slot pattern and information related to a first UL resource, and

wherein the information related to the second slot pattern includes information related to a period of the second slot pattern and information related to a second UL resource;

obtaining the number of first sidelink (SL) slots related to the first slot pattern and the number of second SL slots related to the second slot pattern, based on a first subcarrier spacing (SCS) related to SL communication and the TDD-UL-DL configuration information; and

transmitting a physical sidelink broadcast channel (PSBCH) including information related to the number of the first SL slots and information related to the number of the second SL slots to a second apparatus,

wherein the number of the first SL slots and the number of the second SL slots are expressed based on a unit counting a plurality of slots as one, based on i) the information related to the period of the first slot pattern, ii) the information related to the period of the second slot pattern, and iii) the first SCS, and

wherein the SL communication is performed based on the number of the first SL slots and the number of the second SL slots.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the unit counting the plurality of slots as one is a unit counting slots related to a second SCS lower than the first SCS as one.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the second SCS is an SCS divided by a number of powers of 2 from the first SCS.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the number of powers of 2 is a value related to granularity of a slot.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein based on that the sum of the period of the first slot pattern and the period of the second slot pattern is 4 ms and the first SCS is 120 kHz, the number of powers of 2 is 2.

6. The method of claim 3 , wherein based on that the sum of the period of the first slot pattern and the period of the second slot pattern is 5 ms and the first SCS is 120 kHz, the number of powers of 2 is 2.

7. The method of claim 3 , wherein based on that the period of the first slot pattern is 5 ms, the period of the second slot pattern is 5 ms, and the first SCS is 60 kHz, the number of powers of 2 is 2.

8. The method of claim 3 , wherein based on that the period of the first slot pattern is 10 ms, the period of the second slot pattern is 10 ms, and the first SCS is 30 kHz, the number of powers of 2 is 2.

9. The method of claim 3 , wherein based on that the period of the first slot pattern is 5 ms, the period of the second slot pattern is 5 ms, and the first SCS is 120 kHz, the number of powers of 2 is 4.

10. The method of claim 3 , wherein based on that the period of the first slot pattern is 10 ms, the period of the second slot pattern is 10 ms, and the first SCS is 60 kHz, the number of powers of 2 is 4.

11. The method of claim 3 , wherein based on that the period of the first slot pattern is 10 ms, the period of the second slot pattern is 10 ms, and the first SCS is 120 kHz, the number of powers of 2 is 8.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first UL resource includes at least one of a first UL slot or a first UL symbol, and

wherein the second UL resource includes at least one of a second UL slot or a second UL symbol.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first UL resource is used as the first SL slot, and wherein the second UL resource is used as the second SL slot.

14. A first apparatus for performing wireless communication, the first apparatus comprising:

one or more memories storing instructions;

one or more transceivers; and

one or more processors connected to the one or more memories and the one or more transceivers, wherein the one or more processors execute the instructions to:

receive time division duplex-uplink-downlink (TDD-UL-DL) configuration information including information related to a first slot pattern and information related to a second slot pattern from a base station,

wherein the information related to the first slot pattern includes information related to a period of the first slot pattern and information related to a first UL resource, and

wherein the information related to the second slot pattern includes information related to a period of the second slot pattern and information related to a second UL resource;

obtain the number of first sidelink (SL) slots related to the first slot pattern and the number of second SL slots related to the second slot pattern, based on a first subcarrier spacing (SCS) related to SL communication and the TDD-UL-DL configuration information; and

transmit a physical sidelink broadcast channel (PSBCH) including information related to the number of the first SL slots and information related to the number of the second SL slots to a second apparatus,

wherein the number of the first SL slots and the number of the second SL slots are expressed based on a unit counting a plurality of slots as one, based on i) the information related to the period of the first slot pattern, ii) the information related to the period of the second slot pattern, and iii) the first SCS, and

wherein the SL communication is performed based on the number of the first SL slots and the number of the second SL slots.

15. An apparatus configured to control a first user equipment (UE), the apparatus comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more memories operably connectable to the one or more processors and storing instructions, wherein the one or more processors execute the instructions to:

receive time division duplex-uplink-downlink (TDD-UL-DL) configuration information including information related to a first slot pattern and information related to a second slot pattern from a base station,

wherein the information related to the first slot pattern includes information related to a period of the first slot pattern and information related to a first UL resource, and

wherein the information related to the second slot pattern includes information related to a period of the second slot pattern and information related to a second UL resource;

obtain the number of first sidelink (SL) slots related to the first slot pattern and the number of second SL slots related to the second slot pattern, based on a first subcarrier spacing (SCS) related to SL communication and the TDD-UL-DL configuration information; and

transmit a physical sidelink broadcast channel (PSBCH) including information related to the number of the first SL slots and information related to the number of the second SL slots to a second UE,

wherein the number of the first SL slots and the number of the second SL slots are expressed based on a unit counting a plurality of slots as one, based on i) the information related to the period of the first slot pattern, ii) the information related to the period of the second slot pattern, and iii) the first SCS, and

wherein the SL communication is performed based on the number of the first SL slots and the number of the second SL slots.
