Abstract

There is provided a method for determining transmission timing. The method may be performed by a terminal and comprise: receiving information on a first timing offset between a signal of a base station and a signal of a satellite and information on a reference cell; performing a time synchronization based on the signal of the satellite; and determining transmission timing based on the first timing offset and a second timing offset for the reference cell.

Claims (25)

1. A method for determining transmission timing, the method being performed by a vehicle to everything (V2X) terminal and comprising:

receiving information related to a direct frame number (DFN) offset;

determining DFN timing based on the information related to the DFN offset, wherein a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) is a synchronization reference for the determination of the DFN timing;

determining transmission timing based on the DFN timing, a timing offset for a sidelink communication with a neighboring terminal, and a timing advance offset,

wherein the transmission timing is determined based on applying a value, which is based on sum of the timing offset for the sidelink communication and the timing advance offset, to a boundary of subframe, which is based on the DFN timing; and

transmitting signal for the sidelink communication based on the transmission timing.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the timing advance offset is equal to 0, based on that the V2X terminal is out of coverage of a base station and based on that the synchronization reference is the GNSS.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the time synchronization is performed based on the signal of the GNSS, based on that the V2X terminal is located in coverage of a base station or out of coverage of the base station.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission timing is determined based on the DFN timing, and (N TA,SL +N TA offset +N GNSSoffset )·T S ,

wherein the N TA,SL is related to a timing offset for a sidelink communication, the N GNSSoffset is related to a timing offset for the GNSS, the N TA offset is related to the timing advance offset, and the Ts is a basic time unit.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DFN timing is determined based on applying the DFN offset to a timing obtained from the signal of the GNSS.

6. A vehicle to everything (V2X) terminal for determining transmission timing, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor operatively connected to the transceiver and configured to:

control the transceiver to receive information related to a direct frame number (DFN) offset;

determine DFN timing based on the information related to the DFN offset, wherein a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) is a synchronization reference for the determination of the DFN timing;

determine transmission timing based on the DFN timing, a timing offset for a sidelink communication with a neighboring terminal, and a timing advance offset,

wherein the transmission timing is determined based on applying a value, which is based on sum of the timing offset for the sidelink communication and the timing advance offset, to a boundary of subframe, which is based on the DFN timing; and

transmit signal for the sidelink communication based on the transmission timing.

7. The V2X terminal of claim 6 ,

wherein the timing advance offset is equal to 0, based on that the V2X terminal is out of coverage of a base station and based on that the synchronization reference is the GNSS.

8. The V2X terminal of claim 6 , wherein the time synchronization is performed based on the signal of the GNSS, based on that the V2X terminal is located in coverage of a base station or out of coverage of the base station.

9. The V2X terminal of claim 6 , wherein the transmission timing is determined by (N TA,SL +N TA offset +N GNSSoffset )·T S ,

wherein the N TA,SL indicates the timing offset applied for the sidelink communication, the N GNSSoffset indicates the first timing offset, the N TA offset corresponds to the second timing offset and indicates a timing advance offset and the Ts indicates a basic time unit.

10. The V2X terminal of claim 6 , wherein the DFN timing is determined based on applying the DFN offset to a timing obtained from the signal of the GNSS.
