Abstract

There is provided user equipment that selects a resource for transmitting a signal based on a sensing result. The user equipment includes a detection unit that detects, by performing sensing in a time window for sensing, one or more resources capable of transmitting a signal in a time window for resource selection after the time window for sensing; a selection unit that selects a resource for transmitting a signal from the one or more detected resources; and a transmission unit that transmits the signal using the selected resource for transmitting the signal.

Claims (21)

1. A terminal comprising:

a processor that detects, based on a result of sensing in a time window for sensing, one or more resources capable of transmitting a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) signal in a time window for resource selection, wherein the processor selects a resource for transmitting the PSSCH signal from the one or more detected resources; and

a transmitter that transmits the PSSCH signal using the selected resource for transmitting the PSSCH signal,

wherein the processor autonomously determines a start timing and an end timing of the time window for resource selection from preset timing candidates, and

wherein an end timing of the time window for sensing is subframe (n−1) with respect to a resource selecting timing of subframe (n).

2. The terminal according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor autonomously selects a start timing of the time window for resource selection from preset timing candidates, and determines an end timing of the time window for resource selection based on a timing according to a priority received from a base station.

3. The terminal according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processor randomly selects the resource for transmitting the PSSCH signal from the detected one or more resources.

4. The terminal according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor sets an offset between the time window for sensing and the time window for resource selection.

5. The terminal according to claim 4 ,

wherein the processor randomly selects the resource for transmitting the PSSCH signal from the detected one or more resources.

6. The terminal according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor randomly selects the resource for transmitting the PSSCH signal from the detected one or more resources.

7. A communication method of a terminal comprising:

detecting, based on a result of sensing in a time window for sensing, one or more resources capable of transmitting a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) signal in a time window for resource selection;

selecting a resource for transmitting the PSSCH signal from the one or more detected resources; and

transmitting the PSSCH signal using the selected resource for transmitting the PSSCH signal,

wherein the terminal autonomously determines a start timing and an end timing of the time window for resource selection from preset timing candidates, and

wherein an end timing of the time window for sensing is subframe (n−1) with respect to a resource selecting timing of subframe (n).
