Abstract

Provided in some implementations is a sidelink-related operation method of a first user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, including the steps in which: a first UE receives, from a second UE, a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) including modulation coding scheme (MCS) information; a channel status information reference signal (CSI-RS) and a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) related to the PSCCH are received; CSI is derived on the basis of the CSI-RS; and the first UE transmits, to the second UE, a CSI report including the CSI, wherein the CSI is derived on the basis of the determination of an MCS table.

Claims (47)

1. A method of transmitting channel status information (CSI) by a first user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a modulation coding scheme (MCS) table configuration for a sidelink resource pool including a first MCS table;

transmitting, by the first UE to a second UE, a sidelink UE capability report including supported MCS table information of the first UE including the first MCS table;

receiving information including MCS table indicator information from the second UE by the first UE;

receiving a channel status information reference signal (CSI-RS) within a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH);

deriving CSI information based on the CSI-RS; and

transmitting a CSI report including the CSI information to the second UE by the first UE, wherein a MCS table for the CSI information is determined based on the MCS table indicator information from among a plurality of MCS tables including the first MCS table configured through the MCS table configuration, and

wherein, based on that the first MCS table is determined as the MCS table for the CSI information, channel quality information (CQI) of the CSI information is derived based on CQI values related to the first MCS table from among the plurality of MCS tables.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CSI information includes a rank indicator (RI).

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein, when one or more sidelink transmissions including transmission of the CSI report overlaps with a plurality of UL transmissions, only if at least one sidelink transmission takes precedence over all the plurality of UL transmissions, sidelink transmission is performed.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE deactivates a sidelink bandwidth part (BWP) of which at least one of an RB boundary with an uplink BWP or a DC location is not aligned.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MCS table configuration for the sidelink resource pool includes at least one of a 256QAM table and a low-spectral efficiency 64QAM table.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein, based on the MCS table indicator information, the MCS table for the CSI information is determined as the 256QAM table, the low-spectral efficiency 64QAM table, or a 64QAM table.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the MCS table configuration is received through radio resource control (RRC) signaling from a base station (BS).

8. A first user equipment (UE) configured to operate in a wireless communication system, the first UE comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operatively connected to the at least one processor and storing commands that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

receiving a modulation coding scheme (MCS) table configuration for a sidelink resource pool including a first MCS table;

transmitting, to a second UE, a sidelink UE capability report including supported MCS table information of the first UE including the first MCS table;

receiving information including MCS table indicator information from the second UE;

receiving a channel status information reference signal (CSI-RS) within a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH);

deriving CSI information based on the CSI-RS; and

transmitting a CSI report including the CSI information to the second UE, and

wherein a MCS table for the CSI information is determined based on the MCS table indicator information from among a plurality of MCS tables including the first MCS table configured through the MCS table configuration, and

wherein, based on that the first MCS table is determined as the MCS table for the CSI information, channel quality information (CQI) of the CSI information is derived based on COI values related to the first MCS table from among the plurality of MCS tables.

9. The first UE of claim 8 , wherein the CSI information includes a rank indicator (RI).

10. The first UE of claim 8 , wherein, when one or more sidelink transmissions including transmission of the CSI report overlaps with a plurality of UL transmissions, only if at least one sidelink transmission takes precedence over all the plurality of UL transmissions, sidelink transmission is performed.

11. The first UE of claim 8 , wherein the UE deactivates a sidelink bandwidth part (BWP) of which at least one of an RB boundary with an uplink BWP or a DC location is not aligned.

12. The first UE of claim 8 , wherein the first UE communicates with at least one of another UE, a UE related to an autonomous driving vehicle, a base station (BS), or a network.

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

receiving a modulation coding scheme (MCS) table configuration for a sidelink resource pool including a first MCS table;

transmitting, to a second UE, a sidelink UE capability report including supported MCS table information of the first UE including the first MCS table;

receiving information including MCS table indicator information from the second UE;

receiving a channel status information reference signal (CSI-RS) within a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH);

deriving CSI information based on the CSI-RS; and

transmitting a CSI report including the CSI information to the second UE, and

wherein a MCS table for the CSI information is determined based on the MCS table indicator information from among a plurality of MCS tables including the first MCS table configured through the MCS table configuration, and

wherein, based on that the first MCS table is determined as the MCS table for the CSI information, channel quality information (CQI) of the CSI information is derived based on a CQI values related to the first MCS table from among the plurality of MCS tables.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing at least one computer program that, when executed by at least one processor, perform operations for a first user equipment (UE), the operations comprising:

receiving a modulation coding scheme (MCS) table configuration for a sidelink resource pool including a first MCS table;

transmitting, to a second UE, a sidelink UE capability report including supported MCS table information of the first UE including the first MCS table;

receiving information including MCS table indicator information from the second UE;

receiving a channel status information reference signal (CSI-RS) within a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH);

deriving CSI information based on the CSI-RS; and

transmitting a CSI report including the CSI information to the second UE, and

wherein a MCS table for the CSI information is determined based on the MCS table indicator information from among a plurality of MCS tables including the first MCS table configured through the MCS table configuration, and

wherein, based on that the first MCS table is determined as the MCS table for the CSI information, channel quality information (CQI) of the CSI information is derived based on CQI values related to the first MCS table from among the plurality of MCS tables.
