Abstract

The disclosure of the present invention proposes a method for transmitting a sidelink synchronization signal (SLSS). The method may be performed by a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) terminal and comprise: performing measurements during a predetermined evaluation time; determining whether values resulting from performing the measurements are below a threshold value; and if the values resulting from performing the measurements during the predetermined evaluation time are below the threshold value, transmitting the SLSS to a neighboring V2V terminal. If the V2V terminal is in radio resource control (RRC) idle state and if the V2V terminal is configured to use 1.28 s or 2.56 s of a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle length, the V2V terminal may calculate the predetermined evaluation time by using the number of DRX cycles which is not greater than 3.

Claims (24)

1. A method for transmitting a sidelink synchronization signal (SLSS), the method performed by a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) terminal and comprising:

performing measurements during an evaluation time;

determining whether at least one value resulting from performing the measurements are below a threshold value; and

if the at least one value resulting from performing the measurements during the evaluation time is below the threshold value, transmitting the SLSS to a neighboring V2X terminal,

wherein if the V2X terminal is in a radio resource control (RRC) idle state and if the V2X terminal is configured to use 2.56 s of a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle length, the V2X terminal calculates the evaluation time by using the number of DRX cycles which is not greater than 3, and

wherein if the V2X terminal is in the RRC idle state and if 1.28 s of the DRX cycle length is used, the V2X terminal calculates the evaluation time by using three (3) DRX cycles.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein if the V2X terminal is in the RRC idle state and if 2.56 s of the DRX cycle length is used, the V2X terminal calculates the evaluation time by using two (2) DRX cycles.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein if the V2X terminal is in the RRC idle state, the V2X terminal is configured to use 0.32 s or 0.64 s of the DRX cycle length and the V2X terminal calculates the evaluation time by using six (6) DRX cycles.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein if the V2X terminal is in a RRC connected state, the V2X terminal is configured to use a DRX cycle length which is equal to or less than 0.8 s.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein if the V2X terminal is in a RRC connected state and if the V2X terminal is configured to use the DRX cycle length satisfying 0.04 s<the DRX cycle length<=1.28 s, the V2X terminal calculates the evaluation time by using three (3) DRX cycles.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein if the V2X terminal is in the RRC connected state and if the V2X terminal is configured to use the DRX cycle length satisfying 1.28 s<the DRX cycle length<=2.56 s, the V2X terminal calculates the evaluation time by using two (2) DRX cycles.

7. A vehicle-to-everything (V2X) terminal for transmitting a sidelink synchronization signal (SLSS), the V2X terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor operatively connected to the transceiver and configured to:

perform measurements during an evaluation time,

determine whether at least one value resulting from performing the measurements is below a threshold value, and

if the at least one value resulting from performing the measurements during the evaluation time is below the threshold value, transmit the SLSS to a neighboring V2X terminal,

wherein if the V2X terminal is in radio resource control (RRC) idle state and if the V2X terminal is configured to use 2.56 s of a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle length, the processor calculates the evaluation time by using the number of DRX cycles which is not greater than 3, and

wherein if the V2X terminal is in the RRC idle state and if 1.28 s of the DRX cycle length is used, the processor calculates the evaluation time by using three (3) DRX cycles.

8. The V2X terminal of claim 7 , wherein if the V2X terminal is in the RRC idle state and if 2.56 s of the DRX cycle length is used, the processor calculates the evaluation time by using two (2) DRX cycles.

9. The V2X terminal of claim 7 , wherein if the V2X terminal is in the RRC idle state, the V2X terminal is configured to use 0.32 s or 0.64 s of the DRX cycle length and the processor calculate the evaluation time by using six (6) DRX cycles.

10. The V2X terminal of claim 7 , wherein if the V2X terminal is in a RRC connected state, the processor is configured to use a DRX cycle length which is equal to or less than 0.8 s.

11. The V2X terminal of claim 7 , wherein if the V2X terminal is in a RRC connected state and if the processor is configured to use the DRX cycle length satisfying 0.04 s<the DRX cycle length<=1.28 s, the processor calculates the evaluation time by using three (3) DRX cycles.

12. The V2X terminal of claim 11 , wherein if the V2X terminal is in the RRC connected state and if the V2X terminal is configured to use the DRX cycle length satisfying 1.28 s<the DRX cycle length<=2.56 s, the processor calculates the evaluation time by using two (2) DRX cycles.
