Abstract

The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. A method performed by a terminal in a communication system is provided, which includes receiving, from a base station, configuration information for a resource pool; identifying one or more preconfigured sensing schemes for the resource pool based on the configuration information, wherein the one or more preconfigured sensing schemes include full sensing, partial sensing, random resource selection, or a combination of two or more of the full sensing, the partial sensing, and the random resource selection; and selecting a sensing scheme for resource selection from among the one or more preconfigured sensing schemes.

Claims (22)

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

determining a sidelink (SL) resource pool among multiple SL resource pools that are configured, wherein the multiple SL resource pools are respectively configured with at least one resource selection mode; and

performing SL communication based on the SL resource pool,

wherein the determination of the SL resource pool is based on the at least one resource selection mode, and wherein the at least one resource selection mode corresponds to full sensing, partial sensing, random resource selection, a combination of the full sensing and the random resource selection, a combination of the full sensing and the partial sensing, a combination of the partial sensing and the random resource selection, or a combination of the full sensing, the partial sensing, and the random resource selection.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SL resource pool is autonomously determined by the UE.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SL resource pool is determined further based on a UE capability.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the UE capability corresponds to power consumption of the UE.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SL resource pool is determined further based on whether each of the multiple SL resource pools is configured with a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) resource.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SL resource pool is determined from among the multiple SL resource pools, except for any SL resource pool that is not configured with a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) resource, in case that the UE is configured to transmit hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein a resource selection mode for the SL communication is autonomously determined among at least one resource selection mode with which the determined SL resource pool is configured.

8. A user equipment (UE) in a communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

determine a sidelink (SL) resource pool among multiple SL resource pools that are configured, wherein the multiple SL resource pools are respectively configured with at least one resource selection mode; and

perform SL communication based on the SL resource pool,

wherein the determination of the SL resource pool is based on the at least one resource selection mode, and wherein the at least one resource selection mode corresponds to full sensing, partial sensing, random resource selection, a combination of the full sensing and the random resource selection, a combination of the full sensing and the partial sensing, a combination of the partial sensing and the random resource selection, or a combination of the full sensing, the partial sensing, and the random resource selection.

9. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the SL resource pool is autonomously determined by the UE.

10. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the SL resource pool is determined further based on a UE capability.

11. The UE of claim 10 , wherein the UE capability corresponds to power consumption of the UE.

12. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the SL resource pool is determined further based on whether each of the multiple SL resource pools is configured with a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) resource.

13. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the SL resource pool is determined among the multiple SL resource pools, except for any SL resource pool that is not configured with a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) resource, in case that the UE is configured to transmit hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback.

14. The UE of claim 8 , wherein a resource selection mode for the SL communication is autonomously determined among at least one resource selection mode with which the determined SL resource pool is configured.
