Abstract

According to one embodiment, a method by which a terminal transmits a signal in a wireless communication system on the basis of a contention-based non-orthogonal NOMA scheme can be provided, wherein the method for transmitting the signal can comprise the steps of: allocating a resource pool to which a signal is to be transmitted on the basis of the contention-based NOMA scheme; and transmitting data and a UE ID through the resource pool on the basis of the contention-based NOMA scheme, wherein a plurality of UE ID regions exist in the resource pool, and the UE ID can be allocated to a first region, which is one of the plurality of UE ID regions, and then transmitted.

Claims (27)

1. A method of transmitting a signal by a User Equipment (UE) based on a contention-based Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) scheme in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving allocation of a resource pool for transmitting signals based on the contention-based NOMA scheme; and

transmitting data and a UE ID in the resource pool based on the contention-based NOMA scheme,

wherein there are a plurality of UE ID regions in the resource pool, and

wherein the UE ID is allocated to a first region, which is one of the plurality of UE ID regions, and then transmitted.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first region to which the UE ID is allocated is determined based on a Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS).

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the first region to which the UE ID is allocated is determined based on a number of DMRS sequences and a number of the UE ID regions.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein when the number of the DMRS sequences is equal to or greater than the number of the UE ID regions, the first region to which the UE ID is allocated among the plurality of UE ID regions is determined based on a remainder obtained by dividing a selected DMRS index by the number of the UE ID regions.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein when the number of the DMRS sequences is smaller than the number of the UE ID regions, the first region to which the UE ID is allocated among the plurality of UE ID regions is determined based on a value obtained by dividing the number of the UE ID regions by the number of the DMRS sequences and a UE ID region index.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first region to which the UE ID is allocated has a higher priority than a region in which the data is transmitted within the resource pool.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein when the first region has the higher priority, the first region is transmitted at higher power than other regions within the resource pool.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein when the first region has the higher priority, the first region is transmitted with a lower coding rate than other regions within the resource pool.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein a certain region to which the UE ID is allocated is determined based on a Cell Radio-Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI).

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of UE ID regions are configured in parallel to a time axis within the resource pool or in parallel to a frequency axis within the resource pool.

11. A User Equipment (UE) for transmitting a signal based on a contention-based Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) scheme in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a receiving module configured to receive a signal;

a transmitting module configured to transmit a signal; and

a processor configured to control the receiving module and the transmitting module,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive allocation of a resource pool for transmitting signals based on the contention-based NOMA scheme; and

transmit data and a UE ID in the resource pool based on the contention-based NOMA scheme using the transmitting module,

wherein there are a plurality of UE ID regions in the resource pool, and

wherein the UE ID is allocated to a first region, which is one of the plurality of UE ID regions, and then transmitted.

12. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the first region to which the UE ID is allocated is determined based on a Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS).

13. The UE of claim 12 , wherein the first region to which the UE ID is allocated is determined based on a number of DMRS sequences and a number of the UE ID regions.

14. The UE of claim 13 , wherein when the number of the DMRS sequences is equal to or greater than the number of the UE ID regions, the first region to which the UE ID is allocated among the plurality of UE ID regions is determined based on a remainder obtained by dividing a selected DMRS index by the number of the UE ID regions.

15. The UE of claim 13 , wherein when the number of the DMRS sequences is smaller than the number of the UE ID regions, the first region to which the UE ID is allocated among the plurality of UE ID regions is determined based on a value obtained by dividing the number of the UE ID regions by the number of the DMRS sequences and a UE ID region index.
