Abstract

A method for transmitting a synchronization signal in vehicle-to-something (V2X) communication is presented. A terminal according to the present invention can determine whether to transmit a synchronization signal on the basis of the power capacity of the terminal. The terminal can reduce power consumption by transmitting the synchronization signal only within a window according to the power capacity.

Claims (27)

1. A method of transmitting a synchronization signal by a user equipment (UE) for vehicle-to-something (V2X) communication in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

configuring one of a first UE type and a second UE type, based on a power capability of the UE;

transmitting the synchronization signal based on a first period when the UE is configured to the first UE type; and

transmitting the synchronization signal within a window on a time axis based on a number of times of message reception, when the UE is configured to the second UE type,

wherein the first UE type is for a UE contained in a vehicle,

wherein the second UE type is for a handheld UE,

wherein the synchronization signal of the UE configured to the second UE type is transmitted when the number of times of the message reception is a multiple of a predetermined value configured by higher layer signaling, and

wherein when a plurality of UEs including the UE are configured to the second UE type and to transmit a synchronization signal, each synchronization signal of the plurality of UEs is alternately transmitted.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the window is configured to include a timing for reception or transmission of a message of the UE.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein at least one selected from a group including a size of the window, a start point of the window, and the first period is configured by higher layer signaling.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein a size of the window is configured based on at least one selected from a group including a type of the UE, a type of a target UE of the message, and a priority of the message.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE is synchronized based on a global positioning system (GPS) or signaling from a base station.

6. A user equipment (UE) transmitting a synchronization signal for vehicle-to-something (V2X) communication in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a radio signal; and

at least one processor configured to control the transceiver,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

configure one of a first UE type and a second UE type, based on a power capability of the UE,

transmit the synchronization signal according to a first period when the UE is configured to the UE type,

transmit the synchronization signal within a window on a time axis based on a number of times of message reception, when the UE is configured to the second UE type,

wherein the first UE type is for a UE contained in a vehicle,

wherein the second UE type is for a handheld UE,

wherein the synchronization signal of the UE configured to the second UE type is transmitted when the number of times of the message reception is a multiple of a predetermined value configured by higher layer signaling, and

wherein when a plurality of UEs including the UE are configured to the second UE type and to transmit a synchronization signal, each synchronization signal of the plurality of UEs is alternately transmitted.

7. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the window is configured to include a timing for reception or transmission of a message of the UE.

8. The UE of claim 7 , wherein a size of the window is configured based on at least one selected from a group including a type of the UE, a type of a target UE of the message, and a priority of the message.

9. The UE of claim 7 , wherein at least one selected from a group including a size of the window, a start point of the window, and the first period is configured by higher layer signaling.

10. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the UE is synchronized based on a global positioning system (GPS) or signaling from a base station.
