Abstract

A user equipment (UE) and base station (BS) in a wireless communication network. The UE includes a receiver configured to receive at least one semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) configuration among a plurality of SPS configurations from a BS. Each of the SPS configurations configures the UE with a different periodicity of a sidelink transmission to be transmitted to another UE. The UE also includes a transmitter configured to transmit the sidelink transmission in the different periodicity according to the at least one of the plurality of SPS configurations. The BS includes a controller configured to select at least one SPS configuration among a plurality of SPS configurations for a UE. Each of the SPS configurations configures the UE with a different periodicity of a sidelink transmission to be transmitted to another UE. The BS also includes a transmitter configured to transmit the selected at least one SPS configuration to the UE.

Claims (36)

1. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication network, the UE comprising:

a receiver configured to receive at least one semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) configuration among a plurality of SPS configurations from a base station, wherein each of the plurality of SPS configurations configures the UE with a periodicity of a sidelink transmission to be transmitted to another UE, and wherein an activation or a release of each SPS configuration is indicated in a Downlink Control Information (DCI) format of a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) transmission; and

a transmitter configured to: transmit the sidelink transmission with a periodicity according to the at least one received SPS configuration; and

transmit a scheduling assignment (SA) that indicates a sidelink data resource, and

wherein a resource for the SA and the sidelink data resource are orthogonal to each other in frequency-time domain.

2. The UE of claim 1 , wherein, when a traffic type changes, a corresponding SPS configuration is activated and a non-corresponding SPS is released.

3. The UE of claim 1 , wherein, when a change is required in the periodicity of the sidelink transmission, the UE is configured to perform a resource reselection.

4. The UE of claim 1 , wherein:

the SA includes a Physical Sidelink Control Channel (PSCCH),

the sidelink data resource includes a Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH),

a PSCCH is transmitted for every PSSCH transmission, and

a resource location for SA transmission of each UE within a resource pool is indicated by the base station in a DCI format.

5. The UE of claim 4 , wherein a transmission of the PSSCH and the PSCCH is repeated in a random time offset with respect to a first transmission or in a fixed transmission period.

6. A base station (BS) in a wireless communication network, the base station comprising:

a controller configured to select at least one semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) configuration among a plurality of SPS configurations for a user equipment (UE), wherein each of the plurality of SPS configurations configures the UE with a periodicity of a sidelink transmission to be transmitted to another UE, and wherein an activation or a release of each SPS configuration is indicated in a Downlink Control Information (DCI) format of a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) transmission; and

a transmitter configured to transmit the selected at least one SPS configuration to the UE and to transmit information on a resource for a scheduling assignment (SA) that indicates a sidelink data resource,

wherein the resource for SA and the sidelink data resource are orthogonal to each other in frequency-time domain.

7. The BS of claim 6 , wherein, when a traffic type changes, a corresponding SPS configuration is activated, and a non-corresponding SPS is released.

8. The BS of claim 6 , wherein, when a change is required in a periodicity of the sidelink transmission, the UE performs a resource reselection.

9. The BS of claim 6 , wherein:

the SA includes a Physical Sidelink Control Channel (PSCCH),

the sidelink data resource includes a Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH),

a PSCCH is transmitted for every PSSCH transmission, and

a resource location for SA transmission of each UE within a resource pool is indicated by the base station in a DCI format.

10. The BS of claim 9 , wherein a transmission of the PSSCH and the PSCCH is repeated in a random time offset with respect to a first transmission or in a fixed transmission period.

11. A method for operating a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication network, the method comprising:

receiving at least one semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) configuration among a plurality of SPS configurations from a base station, wherein each of the plurality of SPS configurations configures the UE with a periodicity of a sidelink transmission to be transmitted to another UE, and wherein an activation or a release of each SPS configuration is indicated in a Downlink Control Information (DCI) format of a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) transmission;

transmitting a scheduling assignment (SA) that indicates a sidelink data resource, wherein a resource for the SA and the sidelink data resource are orthogonal to each other in frequency-time domain; and

transmitting the sidelink transmission with a periodicity according to the at least one received SPS configuration.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein, when a traffic type changes, a corresponding SPS configuration is activated and a non-corresponding SPS is released.

13. The method of claim 11 , further comprising, when a change is required in the periodicity of the sidelink transmission, performing a resource reselection.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein:

the SA includes a Physical Sidelink Control Channel (PSCCH),

the sidelink data resource includes a Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH),

a PSCCH is transmitted for every PSSCH transmission, and

a resource location for SA transmission of each UE within a resource pool is indicated by the base station in a DCI format.
