Abstract

A pedestrian user equipment (P-UE) which participates in P-UE related V2X communications comprises processor circuitry and a transmitter. The processor circuitry is configured to select a resource pool for a P-UE related V2X communication and to make a determination. The determination, based on a first indicator and/or a second indicator, is whether to transmit the sidelink signal based on sensing using the selected resource pool; or whether to transmit the sidelink signal based on random selection using the selected resource pool. The transmitter is configured to transmit the sidelink signal.

Claims (22)

1. A user equipment (UE) that performs sidelink communication associated with pedestrian-UE related Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication, the UE comprising:

receiving circuitry configured to receive a broadcast message including first information and second information, the first information being used for indicating a plurality of resource pools, the second information being used for configuring resource selection for the sidelink communication,

controlling circuitry configured to determine to use a first resource pool within the plurality of resource pools in a case that the second information indicates that random selection is used for the resource selection,

transmitting circuitry configured to perform, based on the random selection, the sidelink communication using the first resource pool within the plurality of resource pools,

wherein the plurality of resource pools includes the first resource pool for performing the sidelink communication associated with the pedestrian-UE related V2X communication and a second resource pool for performing a sidelink communication associated with non-pedestrian-UE related V2X communication.

2. The UE according to claim 1 , wherein the non-pedestrian-UE is a vehicle-UE, an infrastructure-UE, or a network-UE.

3. A method for user equipment (UE) that performs sidelink communication associated with pedestrian-UE related Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication, the method comprising:

receiving a broadcast message including first information and second information, the first information being used for indicating a plurality of resource pools, the second information being used for configuring resource selection for the sidelink communication,

determining to use a first resource pool within the plurality of resource pools in a case that the second information indicates that random selection is used for the resource selection,

performing, based on the random selection, the sidelink communication using the first resource pool within the plurality of resource pools,

wherein the plurality of resource pools includes the first resource pool for performing the sidelink communication associated with the pedestrian-UE related V2X communication and a second resource pool for performing a sidelink communication associated with non-pedestrian-UE related V2X communication.

4. A base station communicating with a user equipment (UE) that performs sidelink communication associated with pedestrian-UE related Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication, the base station, comprising:

processor circuitry configured to generate a broadcast message including first information and second information, the first information being used for indicating a plurality of resource pools, the second information being used for configuring resource selection for the sidelink communication,

transmitting circuitry configured to transmit the broadcast message,

wherein the plurality of resource pools includes a first resource pool for performing the sidelink communication associated with pedestrian-UE related V2X communication and a second resource pool for performing a sidelink communication associated with non-pedestrian-UE related V2X communication,

wherein the first resource pool within the plurality of resource pools is determined for use in a case that the second information indicates that random selection is used for the resource selection.

5. The base station according to claim 4 , wherein the non-pedestrian-UE is a vehicle-UE, an infrastructure-UE, or a network-UE.

6. A method for base station communicating with a user equipment (UE) that performs sidelink communication associated with pedestrian-UE related Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication, the method comprising:

generating a broadcast message including first information and second information, the first information being used for indicating a plurality of resource pools, the second information being used configuring resource selection for the sidelink communication,

transmitting the broadcast message,

wherein the plurality of resource pools includes a first resource pool for performing the sidelink communication associated with the pedestrian-UE related V2X communication and a second resource pool for performing a sidelink communication associated with non-pedestrian-UE related V2X communication,

wherein the first resource pool within the plurality of resource pools is determined for use in a case that the second information indicates that random selection is used for the resource selection.
