Abstract

There is provided a UE for configured to operate in a wireless system. The UE comprises: at least one transceiver; at least one processor; and at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising: transmitting first signal which is one of UL signal or SL signal; performing switching between UL transmission and SL transmission; and transmitting second signal, which is different from the first signal, which is one of the UL signal or SL signal.

Claims (39)

1. A User Equipment (UE) configured to operate in a wireless system, the UE comprising:

at least one transceiver capable of performing Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) sidelink and Uu uplink;

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

switching between Uu uplink and V2X sidelink,

wherein the UE is not expected to transmit uplink or receive downlink on a Uu slot n, when the switching occurs in the Uu slot n,

wherein the UE is not expected to transmit or receive V2X sidelink on sidelink slot n, when the switching occurs in the sidelink slot n, and

wherein the UE is not expected to transmit or receive the V2X sidelink on the sidelink slot n, when the switching occurs from the Uu uplink to the V2X sidelink in the sidelink slot n.

2. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the UE is not expected to transmit or receive the V2X sidelink on sidelink slot n−1, when the switching occurs from V2X sidelink to Uu uplink in the sidelink slot n−1.

3. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the UE is not expected to transmit or receive the V2X sidelink signal on sidelink slot n−1, when the switching occurs from the V2X sidelink to the Uu uplink before UL timing advance from slot boundary near Uu slot n in the sidelink slot n−1.

4. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the UE is not expected to transmit the uplink or receive the downlink on Uu slot n, when the switching occurs from V2X sidelink to Uu uplink in the Uu slot n.

5. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the UE is not expected to transmit the uplink or receive the downlink on Uu slot n−1, when the switching occurs from Uu uplink to V2X sidelink in the Uu slot n−1.

6. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the UE is not expected to transmit the uplink or receive the downlink on Uu slot n−1, when the switching occurs from Uu uplink to V2X sidelink before SL timing advance from slot boundary near sidelink slot n in the Uu slot n−1.

7. The UE of claim 1 , wherein timing advance offset for the V2X sidelink is same as timing advance offset for the Uu uplink, based on that the V2X sidelink and the Uu uplink are in the same band.

8. A method for performing communication, the method performed by a User Equipment (UE) and comprising:

switching between Uu uplink and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) sidelink,

wherein the UE is capable of performing Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) sidelink and Uu uplink,

wherein the UE is not expected to transmit uplink or receive downlink on a Uu slot n, when the switching occurs in the Uu slot n,

wherein the UE is not expected to transmit or receive V2X sidelink on sidelink slot n, when the switching occurs in the sidelink slot n, and

wherein the UE is not expected to transmit or receive the V2X sidelink on the sidelink slot n, when the switching occurs from the Uu uplink to the V2X sidelink in the sidelink slot n.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the UE is not expected to transmit or receive the V2X sidelink on sidelink slot n−1, when the switching occurs from V2X sidelink to Uu uplink in the sidelink slot n−1.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the UE is not expected to transmit or receive the V2X sidelink signal on sidelink slot n−1, when the switching occurs from the V2X sidelink to the Uu uplink before UL timing advance from slot boundary near Uu slot n in the sidelink slot n−1.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the UE is not expected to transmit the uplink or receive the downlink on Uu slot n, when the switching occurs from V2X sidelink to Uu uplink in the Uu slot n.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the UE is not expected to transmit the uplink or receive the downlink on Uu slot n−1, when the switching occurs from Uu uplink to V2X sidelink in the Uu slot n−1.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the UE is not expected to transmit the uplink or receive the downlink on Uu slot n-1, when the switching occurs from Uu uplink to V2X sidelink before SL timing advance from slot boundary near sidelink slot n in the Uu slot n-1.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein timing advance offset for the V2X sidelink is same as timing advance offset for the Uu uplink, based on that the V2X sidelink and the Uu uplink are in the same band.

15. A User Equipment (UE) configured to operate in a wireless system, the UE comprising:

at least one transceiver capable of performing Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) sidelink and Uu uplink;

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

switching between Uu uplink and V2X sidelink,

wherein the UE is not expected to transmit uplink or receive downlink on a Uu slot n, when the switching occurs in the Uu slot n,

wherein the UE is not expected to transmit or receive V2X sidelink on sidelink slot n, when the switching occurs in the sidelink slot n, and

wherein the UE is not expected to transmit or receive the V2X sidelink on sidelink slot n−1, when the switching occurs from V2X sidelink to Uu uplink in the sidelink slot n−1.

16. The UE of claim 15 , wherein the UE is not expected to transmit or receive the V2X sidelink on the sidelink slot n, when the switching occurs from the Uu uplink to the V2X sidelink in the sidelink slot n.

17. The UE of claim 15 , wherein the UE is not expected to transmit or receive the V2X sidelink signal on sidelink slot n−1, when the switching occurs from the V2X sidelink to the Uu uplink before UL timing advance from slot boundary near Uu slot n in the sidelink slot n−1.

18. The UE of claim 15 , wherein the UE is not expected to transmit the uplink or receive the downlink on Uu slot n, when the switching occurs from V2X sidelink to Uu uplink in the Uu slot n.

19. The UE of claim 15 , wherein the UE is not expected to transmit the uplink or receive the downlink on Uu slot n−1, when the switching occurs from Uu uplink to V2X sidelink in the Uu slot n−1.

20. The UE of claim 15 , wherein the UE is not expected to transmit the uplink or receive the downlink on Uu slot n−1, when the switching occurs from Uu uplink to V2X sidelink before SL timing advance from slot boundary near sidelink slot n in the Uu slot n−1.
