Abstract

The present invention provides a vehicle-to-X (V2X) operation method performed by a V2X terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: allocating a V2X resource pool to a subframe remaining after excluding a specific subframe; and performing a V2X communication on the allocated V2X resource pool.

Claims (33)

1. A method for performing a vehicle-to-X (V2X) transmission in a wireless communication system, the method performed by a user equipment (UE) and comprising:

determining, among a plurality of subframes, a set of subframes that belong to a V2X resource pool which includes the plurality of subframes for a sidelink transmission mode 4; and

performing the V2X transmission based on the set of subframes,

wherein the set of subframes is determined based on excluding, from the plurality of subframes, (i) sidelink synchronization signal (SLSS) subframes, and (ii) downlink subframes,

wherein the UE reserves a number of V2X subframes for performing the V2X transmission, and

wherein the number of the V2X subframes is determined based on a resource selection counter value.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the set of the subframes are assigned to the V2X resource pool.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein a bitmap associated with the V2X resource pool is used.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the set of subframes is determined based on further excluding special subframes from the plurality of subframes.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the downlink subframes are excluded from the plurality of subframes if the V2X transmission occurs in a time division duplex (TDD) system.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE applies subframe index information to each of the subframes.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein, based on a number of consecutive unused transmission opportunities being equal to a threshold value, the UE reselects V2X resources for performing the V2X transmission.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein, in the sidelink transmission mode 4, the UE monitors subframes during a monitoring duration, and

wherein, in the sidelink transmission-mode 4, the UE selects a V2X resource based on monitoring the subframes.

9. A User Equipment (UE), comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a radio signal;

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

determining, among a plurality of subframes, a set of subframes that belong to a vehicle-to-X (V2X) resource pool which includes the plurality of subframes for a sidelink transmission mode 4; and

performing a V2X transmission based on the set of subframes,

wherein the set of subframes is determined based on excluding, from the plurality of subframes, (i) sidelink synchronization signal (SLSS) subframes, and (ii) downlink subframes,

wherein the operations further comprise reserving a number of V2X subframes for performing the V2X transmission, and

wherein the number of the V2X subframes is determined based on a resource selection counter value.

10. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the set of the subframes are assigned to the V2X resource pool.

11. The UE of claim 10 , wherein a bitmap associated with the V2X resource pool is used.

12. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the set of subframes is determined based on further excluding special subframes from the plurality of subframes.

13. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the downlink subframes are excluded from the plurality of subframes if the V2X transmission occurs in a time division duplex (TDD) system.

14. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise applying subframe index information to each of the subframes.

15. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise:

based on a number of consecutive unused transmission opportunities being equal to a threshold value, reselecting V2X resources for performing the V2X transmission.

16. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise:

in the sidelink transmission mode 4, monitoring subframes during a monitoring duration; and

in the sidelink transmission mode 4, selecting a V2X resource based on monitoring the subframes.
