Abstract

Proposed is an operation method for a first device ( 100 ) in a wireless communication system. The method may comprise the steps of: receiving, from a second device ( 200 ), first sidelink control information (SCI) via a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH); receiving, from the second device ( 200 ), a reference signal and data via a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) related to the PSCCH; determining a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) resource, on the basis of a subchannel and slot related to the PSSCH; measuring reference signal received power (RSRP), on the basis of the reference signal received via the PSSCH related to the PSFCH resource; determining first transmit power of a PSFCH transmitted on the PSFCH resource, on the basis of the RSRP; and transmitting, to the second device ( 200 ), the PSFCH on the basis of the determined first transmit power of the PSFCH.

Claims (40)

1 . A method comprising:

receiving first sidelink control information (SCI) from a second device through a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH);

receiving data, through a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) related to the PSCCH, and a reference signal associated with the PSSCH;

determining a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) resource, based on a subchannel and a slot related to the PSSCH;

measuring reference signal received power (RSRP) based on the reference signal associated with the PSSCH;

determining first transmit power of a PSFCH transmitted on the PSFCH resource, based on the RSRP and second maximum transmit power related to the PSFCH,

wherein the second maximum transmit power is a value obtained by multiplying first maximum transmit power of a first device by a scaling value configured based on a resource pool related to the PSFCH; and

transmitting the PSFCH to the second device based on the determined first transmit power of the PSFCH.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the first transmit power of the PSFCH includes:

determining an offset value related to the first transmit power of the PSFCH,

wherein the offset value is determined based on a range of the RSRP.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the offset value is determined to be inversely proportional to the RSRP.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a unit of the first maximum transmit power is dB.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein second SCI is expected not to be used, based on the first SCI.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the RSRP is measured during an RSRP measurement interval, and

wherein the reference signal is received based on two consecutive symbols in the RSRP measurement interval.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein second transmit power related to the PSCCH or the PSSCH is determined based on power ramping.

8 . A first device comprising:

one or more processors;

one or more transceivers; and

one or more memories connected to the one or more processors and storing instructions,

wherein the instructions, based on being executed by the one or more processors, cause the first device to:

receive first sidelink control information (SCI) from a second device through a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH);

receive data, through a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) related to the PSCCH, and a reference signal associated with the PSSCH;

determine a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) resource, based on a subchannel and a slot related to the PSSCH;

measure reference signal received power (RSRP) based on the reference signal associated with the PSSCH;

determine first transmit power of a PSFCH transmitted on the PSFCH resource, based on the RSRP and second maximum transmit power related to the PSFCH,

wherein the second maximum transmit power is a value obtained by multiplying first maximum transmit power of the first device by a scaling value configured based on a resource pool related to the PSFCH; and

transmit the PSFCH to the second device based on the determined first transmit power of the PSFCH.

9 . A processing device adapted to control a first device, the processing device comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more memories connected to the one or more processors and storing instructions,

wherein the instructions, based on being executed by the one or more processors, cause the first device to:

receive first sidelink control information (SCI) from a second UE through a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH);

receive data, through a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) related to the PSCCH, and a reference signal associated with the PSSCH;

determine a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) resource, based on a subchannel and a slot related to the PSSCH;

measure reference signal received power (RSRP) based on the reference signal associated with the PSSCH;

determine first transmit power of a PSFCH transmitted on the PSFCH resource, based on the RSRP and second maximum transmit power related to the PSFCH,

wherein the second maximum transmit power is a value obtained by multiplying first maximum transmit power of the first device by a scaling value configured based on a resource pool related to the PSFCH; and

transmit the PSFCH to the second UE based on the determined first transmit power of the PSFCH.
