Abstract

Claims (28)

1. An operation method of a transmitting terminal in a communication system, the operation method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, a higher layer signaling message including first physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) configuration information indicating a first PSFCH resource region used for transmission or reception of a reception response for sidelink control information (SCI) and second PSFCH configuration information indicating a second PSFCH resource region used for transmission or reception of a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) response for data;

transmitting, to one or more receiving terminals, the SCI including resource allocation information of the data;

transmitting, to the one or more receiving terminals, the data on a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) indicated by the SCI;

performing a monitoring operation on the first PSFCH resource region indicated by the first PSFCH configuration information to receive the reception response for the SCI from the one or more receiving terminals; and

performing a monitoring operation on the second PSFCH resource region indicated by the second PSFCH configuration information to receive the HARQ response for the data from the one or more receiving terminals.

2. The operation method according to claim 1 , wherein the first PSFCH resource region and the second PSFCH resource region are arranged in a same symbol, and the first PSFCH resource region is multiplexed with the second PSFCH resource region in frequency domain.

3. The operation method according to claim 1 , wherein the first PSFCH resource region and the second PSFCH resource region are arranged in same frequency resources, and the first PSFCH resource region is multiplexed with the second PSFCH resource region in time domain.

4. The operation method according to claim 1 , wherein information indicating a ratio between a size of the second PSFCH resource region and a size of the first PSFCH resource region is received from the base station.

5. The operation method according to claim 1 , wherein the SCI further includes information indicating the first PSFCH resource region and the second PSFCH resource region, and the first PSFCH resource region and the second PSFCH resource region are configured within a resource range.

6. The operation method according to claim 1 , wherein when the reception response indicates that the SCI has been successfully received, and the HARQ response is not received in the second PSFCH resource region, it is determined that the data has been successfully received by the one or more receiving terminals.

7. The operation method according to claim 1 , wherein when the reception response is not received, it is determined that reception of the SCI has failed in the one or more reception terminals.

8. An operation method of a receiving terminal in a communication system, the operation method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, a higher layer signaling message including first physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) configuration information indicating a first PSFCH resource region used for transmission or reception of a reception response for sidelink control information (SCI) and second PSFCH configuration information indicating a second PSFCH resource region used for transmission or reception of a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) response for data;

obtaining, from a transmitting terminal, the SCI including resource allocation information of the data;

transmitting the reception response for the SCI to the transmitting terminal through the first PSFCH resource region indicated by the first PSFCH configuration information; and

performing a monitoring operation on a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) indicated by the SCI to obtain the data from the transmitting terminal.

9. The operation method according to claim 8 , further comprising, when reception of the data fails, transmitting a negative acknowledgment (NACK) for the data to the transmitting terminal through the second PSFCH resource region indicated by the second PSFCH configuration information, wherein the second PSFCH resource region is configured independently of the first PSFCH resource region.

10. The operation method according to claim 8 , wherein when the first PSFCH resource region and the second PSFCH resource region are arranged in a same symbol, the first PSFCH resource region is multiplexed with the second PSFCH resource region in frequency domain, and when the first PSFCH resource region and the second PSFCH resource region are arranged in same frequency resources, the first PSFCH resource region is multiplexed with the second PSFCH resource region in time domain.

11. The operation method according to claim 8 , wherein information indicating a ratio between a size of the second PSFCH resource region and a size of the first PSFCH resource region is received from the base station.

12. The operation method according to claim 8 , wherein the SCI further includes information indicating the first PSFCH resource region and the second PSFCH resource region, and the first PSFCH resource region and the second PSFCH resource region are configured within a resource range.

13. An operation method of a base station in a communication system, the operation method comprising:

configuring a first physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) resource region used for transmission and reception of a reception response for sidelink control information (SCI);

configuring a second PSFCH resource region used for transmission and reception of a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) response for data; and

transmitting a higher layer signaling message including PSFCH configuration information including configuration information of the first PSFCH resource region and configuration information of the second PSFCH resource region.

14. The operation method according to claim 13 , wherein when the first PSFCH resource region and the second PSFCH resource region are arranged in a same symbol, the first PSFCH resource region is multiplexed with the second PSFCH resource region in frequency domain, and when the first PSFCH resource region and the second PSFCH resource region are arranged in same frequency resources, the first PSFCH resource region is multiplexed with the second PSFCH resource region in time domain.

15. The operation method according to claim 13 , wherein the PSFCH configuration information is configured with a PSFCH format 1 and a PSFCH format 2, the PSFCH format 1 or the PSFCH format 2 is used according to a number of the one or more receiving terminals, and a union of the second PSFCH resource region and the first PSFCH resource region indicated by the PSFCH format 1 is different from a union of the second PSFCH resource region and the first PSFCH resource region indicated by the PSFCH format 2.

16. The operation method according to claim 13 , wherein the PSFCH configuration information is configured with PSFCH configuration information 1 and PSFCH configuration information 2, the PSFCH configuration information 1 is used when a number of the one or more receiving terminals is less than or equal to a threshold, the PSFCH configuration information 1 and the PSFCH configuration information 2 are used when the number of the one or more receiving terminals exceeds a threshold, and the second PSFCH resource region and the first PSFCH resource region indicated by the PSFCH configuration information 1 are configured independently of the second PSFCH resource region and the second PSFCH resource region indicated by the PSFCH configuration information 2.
