Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a 5th generation (5G) or pre-5G communication system for supporting higher data transmission rates than a 4th generation (4G) communication system, such as long term evolution (LTE). The present disclosure provides an apparatus and a method for supporting vehicle-to-everything (V2X) in a wireless communication system. A method for operating a first terminal in a wireless communication system provided by the present disclosure comprises the processes of: receiving first system information for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) sidelink communication from a first base station in a remote resource control (RRC) idle mode or RRC inactive mode; establishing, if the first system information includes sidelink configuration information, a first sidelink radio bearer (SLRB) on the basis of the sidelink configuration information; performing V2X sidelink communication with a second terminal via the first SLRB; transitioning to an RRC connected mode; and performing V2X sidelink communication with the second terminal via the first SLRB until an RRC reconfiguration message is received from the first base station.

Claims (24)

1. A method performed by a first user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

when the first UE is camping on a first cell, receiving, from the first cell, first system information including a first sidelink communication configuration in a radio resource control (RRC)-idle mode or an RRC-inactive mode;

in case that the first UE is configured by upper layers to perform a sidelink communication for a frequency, identifying whether the frequency used for the sidelink communication is included in the first system information;

in case that the frequency used for the sidelink communication is not included in the first system information, receiving, from a second cell, second system information including a second sidelink communication configuration; and

performing the sidelink communication based on the second system information.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

in case that the second system information includes sidelink radio bearer (SLRB) configuration information, establishing an SLRB by applying the SLRB configuration information.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the first UE is configured to perform both a first sidelink communication and a second sidelink communication.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

in case that the second sidelink communication configuration is not included in the second system information, the sidelink communication is performed

based on a preconfigured sidelink communication configuration.

5. A first user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the first UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller coupled to the transceiver,

and configured to:

when the first UE is camping on a first cell, receive, from the first cell, first system information including a first sidelink communication configuration in a radio resource control (RRC)-idle mode or an RRC-inactive mode,

in case that the first UE is configured by upper layers to perform a sidelink communication for a frequency, identify whether the frequency used for the sidelink communication is included in the first system information,

in case that the frequency used for the sidelink communication is not included in the first system information, receive, from a second cell, second system information including a second sidelink communication configuration, and

perform the sidelink communication based on the second system information.

6. The first UE of claim 5 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

in case that the second system information includes sidelink radio bearer (SLRB) configuration information, establish an SLRB by applying the SLRB configuration information.

7. The first UE of claim 5 , wherein the first UE is configured to perform both a first sidelink communication and a second sidelink communication.

8. The first UE of claim 5 , wherein, in case that the second sidelink communication configuration is not included in the second system information, the sidelink communication is performed based on a preconfigured sidelink communication configuration.
