Abstract

In a method for user equipment in a wireless communication system according to an aspect of the present disclosure, a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) is received from a plurality of anchor nodes (ANs) on a plurality of subchannels, wherein each of the plurality of subchannels comprises at least one resource block, and, on the basis of the PSCCH, a plurality of positioning reference signals (PRSs) are received from the plurality of ANs, a subchannel identification (ID) is allocated to each of the plurality of subchannels, and the PRS pattern of each of the plurality of PRSs is mapped to the subchannel ID.

Claims (32)

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

receiving a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) on a plurality of subchannels from a plurality of anchor nodes (ANs), each of the plurality of subchannels including at least one resource block; and

receiving a plurality of positioning reference signals (PRSs) from the plurality of ANs based on the PSCCH,

wherein:

a subchannel identification (ID) is allocated to each of the plurality of subchannels, and

a PRS pattern of each of the plurality of PRSs is mapped to the subchannel ID.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PRS pattern is defined by a cyclic shift value of a sequence of the plurality of PRSs and a comb type of each of the plurality of PRSs.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the comb type is a resource mapping type of a resource element (RE) unit for each of the plurality of PRSs.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein, based on a fact that a number of the plurality of ANs is greater than a number of the PRS patterns, the plurality of ANs is grouped to a plurality of AN groups based on priority set to each of the plurality of ANs.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein a plurality of resource pools in which a PRS of each of the plurality of AN groups is received is allocated based on time division multiplexing (TDM).

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subchannel ID is allocated based on a frequency index of the plurality of subchannels.

7. An apparatus for a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory operatively connected to the at least one processor and configured to store at least one instruction for allowing the at least one processor to perform operations,

wherein the operations incudes:

receiving a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) on a plurality of subchannels from a plurality of anchor nodes (ANs), each of the plurality of subchannels including at least one resource block; and

receiving a plurality of positioning reference signals (PRSs) from the plurality of ANs based on the PSCCH,

wherein:

a subchannel identification (ID) is allocated to each of the plurality of subchannels, and

a PRS pattern of each of the plurality of PRSs is mapped to the subchannel ID.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the PRS pattern is defined by a cyclic shift value of a sequence of the plurality of PRSs and a comb type of each of the plurality of PRSs.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the comb type is a resource mapping type of a resource element (RE) unit for each of the plurality of PRSs.

10. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein, based on a fact that a number of the plurality of ANs is greater than a number of the PRS patterns, the plurality of ANs is grouped to a plurality of AN groups based on priority set to each of the plurality of ANs.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein a plurality of resource pools in which a PRS of each of the AN groups is received is allocated based on time division multiplexing (TDM).

12. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the UE is an autonomous driving vehicle or is included in the autonomous driving vehicle.

13. A processor for performing operations for a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the operations comprising:

receiving a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) on a plurality of subchannels from a plurality of anchor nodes (ANs), each of the plurality of subchannels including at least one resource block; and

receiving a plurality of positioning reference signals (PRSs) from the plurality of ANs based on the PSCCH,

wherein:

a subchannel identification (ID) is allocated to each of the plurality of subchannels, and

a PRS pattern of each of the plurality of PRSs is mapped to the subchannel ID.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium for storing at least one computer program including at least one instruction for allowing at least one processor to perform operations for a user equipment (UE) when being executed by the at least one processor, the operations including: receiving a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) on a plurality of subchannels from a plurality of anchor nodes (ANs), each of the plurality of subchannels including at least one resource block; and receiving a plurality of positioning reference signals (PRSs) from the plurality of ANs based on the PSCCH, wherein: a subchannel identification (ID) is allocated to each of the plurality of subchannels, and a PRS pattern of each of the plurality of PRSs is mapped to the subchannel ID.
