User apparatus including a dedicated RF chain for prose and transmitting and receiving method
There is provided a transmitting/receiving method performed by a user equipment (UE) including a dedicated radio frequency (RF) chain for a proximity service (ProSe). The method may comprise: receiving configuration information for a discovery resource pool, the discovery resource pool including a bitmap representing a subframe used for a discovery signal and information representing the number of times when the bitmap is repeated; turning on the dedicated RF chain based on a subframe corresponding to a first bit 1 in a bit string enumerated by the bitmap and the number of repetition times; turning on the dedicated RF chain and thereafter, transmitting/receiving a signal to/from an adjacent UE; and turning off the dedicated RF chain based on a subframe corresponding to a last bit 1 in the bit string.
1. A transmitting/receiving method performed by a user equipment (UE) including a dedicated radio frequency (RF) chain for a proximity service (ProSe), the method comprising:
receiving configuration information for a discovery resource pool, the discovery resource pool including a bitmap representing a subframe used for a discovery signal and information representing the number of times when the bitmap is repeated;
turning on the dedicated RF chain based on a subframe corresponding to a first bit 1 in a bit string enumerated by the bitmap and the number of repetition times;
after turning on the dedicated RF chain, transmitting/receiving a signal to/from an adjacent UE; and
turning off the dedicated RF chain based on a subframe corresponding to a last bit 1 in the bit string,
wherein the dedicated RF chain is maintained as a turn on state from the subframe corresponding to the first bit 1 in the bit string to the subframe corresponding to the last bit 1 in the bit string.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
when the subframe corresponding to the first bit 1 is a k th subframe in the bit string and the subframe corresponding to the last bit 1 is a p th subframe in the bit string,
the dedicated RF chain is turned on in a (k−2) th subframe and turned off in a (p+2) th subframe,
wherein k is greater than or equal to 2, and p is greater than or equal to k.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
when the subframe corresponding to the first bit 1 is the k th subframe in the bit string and the subframe corresponding to the last bit 1 is the p th subframe in the bit string,
the dedicated RF chain is turned on in a (k−1) th subframe and turned off in a (p+1) th subframe,
wherein k is greater than or equal to 1, and p is greater than or equal to k.
4. A transmitting/receiving method performed by a user equipment (UE) including a dedicated radio frequency (RF) chain for a proximity service (ProSe), the method comprising:
receiving configuration information for a sidelink synchronization signal (SLSS), the configuration information includes information on a window for receiving the SLSS;
receiving configuration information for a discovery resource pool, the discovery resource pool including a bitmap representing a subframe used for a discovery signal and information representing the number of times when the bitmap is repeated;
turning on the dedicated RF chain in a subframe before the window for receiving the SLSS; and
after turning on the dedicated RF chain, transmitting/receiving a signal to/from an adjacent UE; and
turning off the dedicated RF chain based on a subframe corresponding to a last bit 1 in a bit string enumerated by the bitmap and the number of repetition times.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein:
when the SLSS is received in an n th subframe in the bit string and the subframe corresponding to the last bit 1 is a p th subframe in the bit string,
the dedicated RF chain is turned on in an (n−6) th subframe and turned off in a (p+6) th subframe,
wherein n is greater than or equal to 6, and p is greater than or equal to n.
6. A user equipment (UE) comprising:
a radio frequency (RF) chain receiving configuration information for a discovery resource pool, the discovery resource pool including a bitmap representing a subframe used for a discovery signal and information representing the number of times when the bitmap is repeated;
a dedicated RF chain for a proximity service (ProSe); and
a processor controlling the RF chain and the dedicated RF chain,
wherein the processor:
turns on the dedicated RF chain based on a subframe corresponding to a first bit 1 in a bit string enumerated by the bitmap and the number of repetition times;
after turning on the dedicated RF chain, transmits/receives a signal to/from an adjacent UE; and
turns off the dedicated RF chain based on a subframe corresponding to a last bit 1 in the bit string, and
wherein the dedicated RF chain is maintained as a turn on state from the subframe corresponding to the first bit 1 in the bit string to the subframe corresponding to the last bit 1 in the bit string.
7. The user equipment of claim 6 , wherein:
when the subframe corresponding to the first bit 1 is the k th subframe in the bit string and the subframe corresponding to the last bit 1 is the p th subframe in the bit string,
the dedicated RF chain is turned on in a (k−2) th subframe and turned off in a (p+2) th subframe,
in k is greater than or equal to 2, and p is greater than or equal to k.
8. The user equipment of claim 6 , wherein:
when the subframe corresponding to the first bit 1 is the k th subframe in the bit string and the subframe corresponding to the last bit 1 is the p th subframe in the bit string,
the dedicated RF chain is turned on in a (k−1) th subframe and turned off in a (p+1) th subframe,
wherein k is greater than or equal to 1, and p is greater than or equal to k.
