Abstract

Disclosed are a method and device for sidelink communication based on DRX. A method for operating a transmission terminal comprises the steps of: performing a sensing operation in a paging resource area; transmitting an SCI to one or more reception terminals in the paging resource area when the paging resource area is available, wherein the SCI is for scheduling the transmission of a paging message; and transmitting the paging message to the one or more reception terminals by using a resource indicated by the SCI.

Claims (32)

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

performing a sensing operation in a paging resource region;

in response to that the paging resource region is available, transmitting sidelink control information (SCI) for scheduling transmission of a paging message to one or more receiving terminals in the paging resource region; and

transmitting the paging message to the one or more receiving terminals using a resource indicated by the SCI.

2 . The operation method according to claim 1 , further comprising receiving, from a base station, paging configuration information including information indicating the paging resource region, wherein the paging configuration information is included in at least one of system information or a radio resource control (RRC) message.

3 . The operation method according to claim 2 , wherein the paging configuration information further includes a sidelink-paging-radio network temporary identifier (SL-P-RNTI), and the SCI is transmitted using the SL-P-RNTI.

4 . The operation method according to claim 1 , wherein the sensing operation is performed in a slot before n slots from the paging resource region, and information on n is included in at least one of system information or an RRC message transmitted from the base station.

5 . The operation method according to claim 1 , wherein the paging resource region includes a time resource region, the time resource region is indicated by a bitmap or a combination of a start index and number of time resources, and a unit of the time resource is a symbol, slot, subframe, or radio frame.

6 . The operation method according to claim 1 , wherein the paging resource region includes a frequency resource region, the frequency resource region is indicated by a bitmap or a combination of a start index and number of frequency resources, and a unit of the frequency resource is a subcarrier, physical resource block (PRB), or subchannel.

7 . The operation method according to claim 1 , wherein the paging resource region is a guard symbol within a slot in which a sidelink-synchronization signal block (S-SSB) is transmitted.

8 . The operation method according to claim 1 , wherein the paging message includes an identifier of one receiving terminal, an identifier of a group including a plurality of receiving terminals, or an identifier of a zone to which at least one receiving terminal belongs.

9 . The operation method according to claim 1 , wherein the paging message is transmitted as being included in second-stage SCI or transmitted independently of second-stage SCI.

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

receiving paging configuration information from a base station;

performing a monitoring operation to receive sidelink control information (SCI) in a paging resource region indicated by the paging configuration information; and

in response to receiving the SCI from a transmitting terminal, receiving a paging message from the transmitting terminal through a resource indicated by the SCI.

11 . The operation method according to claim 10 , wherein the paging configuration information further includes a sidelink-paging-radio network temporary identifier (SL-P-RNTI), and the SCI is received using the SL-P-RNTI.

12 . The operation method according to claim 10 , wherein the paging resource region includes a time resource region, the time resource region is indicated by a bitmap or a combination of a start index and number of time resources, and a unit of the time resource is a symbol, slot, subframe, or radio frame.

13 . The operation method according to claim 10 , wherein the paging resource region includes a frequency resource region, the frequency resource region is indicated by a bitmap or a combination of a start index and number of frequency resources, and a unit of the frequency resource is a subcarrier, physical resource block (PRB), or subchannel.

14 . The operation method according to claim 10 , wherein the paging resource region is a guard symbol within a slot in which a sidelink-synchronization signal block (S-SSB) is transmitted.

15 . The operation method according to claim 10 , wherein the paging message includes an identifier of one receiving terminal, an identifier of a group including a plurality of receiving terminals, or an identifier of a zone to which at least one receiving terminal belongs.

16 . The operation method according to claim 10 , wherein the paging message is received as being included in second-stage SCI or received independently of second-stage SCI.

17 . A transmitting terminal in a communication system, the transmitting terminal comprising:

a processor; and

a memory storing one or more instruction executable by the processor,

wherein the one or more instructions are executed to perform:

performing a sensing operation in a paging resource region;

in response to that the paging resource region is available, transmitting sidelink control information (SCI) for scheduling transmission of a paging message to one or more receiving terminals in the paging resource region; and

transmitting the paging message to the one or more receiving terminals using a resource indicated by the SCI.

18 . The transmitting terminal according to claim 17 , wherein the one or more instructions are further executed to perform: receiving, from a base station, paging configuration information including information indicating the paging resource region, wherein the paging configuration information is included in at least one of system information or a radio resource control (RRC) message.

19 . The transmitting terminal according to claim 17 , wherein the paging resource region includes a time resource region and a frequency resource region, the time resource region is indicated by a bitmap or a combination of a start index and number of time resources, a unit of the time resource is a symbol, slot, subframe, or radio frame, the frequency resource region is indicated by a bitmap or a combination of a start index and number of frequency resources, and a unit of the frequency resource is a subcarrier, physical resource block (PRB), or subchannel.

20 . The transmitting terminal according to claim 17 , wherein the paging resource region is a guard symbol within a slot in which a sidelink-synchronization signal block (S-SSB) is transmitted.
