Sidelink operation method of user equipment in wireless communication system, and user equipment using same

1. A method for performing sidelink operation of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, comprising:

transmitting a sidelink gap request to a serving cell;

receiving a message configuring a plurality of sidelink gap patterns as a response to the sidelink gap request from the serving cell; and

receiving information activating a specific sidelink gap pattern, among the plurality of sidelink gap patterns, from the serving cell,

wherein the sidelink gap request further includes a list indicating frequencies that require configuration of a sidelink gap.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sidelink gap request further includes information notifying a sidelink operation that is to be performed by the UE.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the sidelink operation is related to one of sidelink signal reception and sidelink signal transmission.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sidelink gap request includes type information indicating a type of a sidelink gap,

wherein the type information indicates whether the sidelink gap is designated for a sidelink operation in an intra-frequency, whether the sidelink gap is designated for a sidelink operation in an inter-frequency, or whether the sidelink gap is designated for a sidelink operation in an intra-frequency and an inter-frequency.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein, when a command instructing acquisition of sidelink gap information related to a neighboring cell is received from the serving cell, sidelink gap information of the neighboring cell is acquired.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the command configures a gap section for acquiring the sidelink gap information related to the neighboring cell.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the sidelink gap information acquired from the neighboring cell is reported to the serving cell.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sidelink gap request is transmitted to the serving cell only in a case where capability information allowing the serving cell to configure a sidelink gap is received from the serving cell.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein, when transmitting the sidelink gap request, a prohibit timer is initiated.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein, while the prohibit timer is being operated, another sidelink gap request is not transmitted.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein, while the prohibit timer is being operated, another sidelink gap request is allowed to be transmitted only in a case where a change in the sidelink gap request occurs.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein a sidelink operation is performed in a subframe related to the specific sidelink gap pattern.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein a cellular operation with a serving cell being configured to the UE is limited in a subframe related to the specific sidelink gap pattern.

14. A user equipment, comprising:

a transmitter and a receiver for transmitting and receiving radio signals; and

a processor operatively coupled to the transmitter and the receiver,

wherein the processor is configured to:

transmit, via the transmitter, a sidelink gap request to a serving cell,

receive, via the receiver, a message configuring a plurality of sidelink gap patterns as a response to the sidelink gap request from the serving cell, and

receive, via the receiver, information activating a specific sidelink gap pattern, among the plurality of sidelink gap patterns, from the serving cell,

wherein the sidelink gap request further includes a list indicating frequencies that require configuration of a sidelink gap.
