Abstract

An embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for transmitting a sidelink signal by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising the steps of: generating a sequence for transmitting a sidelink signal; mapping the sequence to a plurality of subcarriers around a sidelink direct current (DC) subcarrier; and transmitting a sequence for transmitting the mapped sidelink signal, wherein the location of the sidelink DC subcarrier has been inherited from a location of a DC subcarrier when the terminal transmits an uplink signal to a base station or a location of a DC subcarrier when the terminal receives a downlink signal from the base station. The first terminal is included in an autonomous vehicle.

Claims (23)

1. A method of transmitting a sidelink signal by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

generating a sequence for sidelink signal transmission;

mapping the sequence to a plurality of subcarriers around a sidelink direct current (DC) subcarrier; and

transmitting the mapped sequence for sidelink signal transmission,

wherein a position of the sidelink DC subcarrier is inherited from a position of a DC subcarrier used when the UE transmits an uplink signal to a base station (BS) or a position of a DC subcarrier used when the UE receives a downlink signal from a BS,

wherein, based on the sequence for sidelink signal transmission being a Zadoff-Chu sequence, a number of cyclic shifts (CSs) is limited to a predetermined value or less.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of DC subcarriers are configured to be used when the UE transmits the downlink signal to the BS.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein when a plurality of DC subcarriers are configured to be used when the UE transmits the downlink signal to the BS, and the sidelink DC subcarrier is indicated by signaling, the sidelink DC subcarrier corresponds to one of DC subcarriers configured for respective resource pools.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein when a plurality of DC subcarriers are configured to be used when the UE transmits the downlink signal to the BS, and the sidelink DC subcarrier is indicated by signaling, the sidelink DC subcarrier corresponds to one of DC subcarriers configured for respective services.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the sidelink DC subcarrier is commonly applied to resource pools.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a DC subcarrier used for the UE to transmit a sidelink synchronization signal is determined independently of the sidelink DC subcarrier.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein when different synchronization signals are transmitted for different services, a DC subcarrier used to transmit a sidelink synchronization signal is aligned with the sidelink DC subcarrier.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the services include vehicle to everything (V2X) and narrowband-Internet of things (NB-IoT).

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the sidelink DC subcarrier is located between subcarriers carrying data.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the sidelink DC subcarrier overlaps with a subcarrier carrying data.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the sidelink DC subcarrier overlapped with the subcarrier carrying data is excluded from reference signal mapping.

12. A user equipment (UE) for transmitting a sidelink signal in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transmitter and a receiver; and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to generate a sequence for sidelink signal transmission, map the sequence to a plurality of subcarriers around a sidelink direct current (DC) subcarrier, and transmit the mapped sequence for sidelink signal transmission,

wherein a position of the sidelink DC subcarrier is inherited from a position of a DC subcarrier used when the UE transmits an uplink signal to a base station (BS) or a position of a DC subcarrier used when the UE receives a downlink signal from a BS, and

wherein, based on the sequence for sidelink signal transmission being a Zadoff-Chu sequence, a number of cyclic shifts (CSs) is limited to a predetermined value or less.

13. The UE of claim 12 , wherein the UE is included in an autonomous vehicle.
