Abstract

Methods and apparatuses are provided in which at least one parameter associated with a sidelink transmission is received from a base station. It is identified whether an uplink transmission is scheduled in a transmission time interval (TTI) in which a sidelink transmission to a second terminal is scheduled. The sidelink transmission is transmitted to the second terminal in the TTI in case that no uplink transmission is scheduled in the TTI. The sidelink transmission is transmitted based on a smaller transmission power value from two transmission power values.

Claims (22)

1. A method performed by a first terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, at least one parameter associated with a sidelink transmission;

identifying whether the terminal is configured to simultaneously transmit an uplink transmission and the sidelink transmission;

transmitting, to a second terminal, the sidelink transmission in case that no uplink transmission is configured, wherein a transmission power for the sidelink transmission is identified from two or more transmission power values; and

transmitting, to a base station, the uplink transmission in case that the terminal is configured to simultaneously transmit the uplink transmission and the sidelink transmission,

wherein the sidelink transmission is not transmitted to the second terminal, in case that the terminal is configured to simultaneously transmit the uplink transmission and the sidelink transmission.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the two or more transmission power values include a first transmission power value which is determined based on the at least one parameter and a second transmission power value which is a maximum available transmission power value for the sidelink transmission.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the first transmission power is determined by further considering of a number of assigned resource blocks for the sidelink transmission, a downlink pathloss, and a power control related value.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission power for the sidelink transmission is a smallest value among the two or more transmission power values.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sidelink transmission includes a sidelink data transmission.

6. A first terminal in a wireless communication system, the first terminal comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a signal; and

a controller configured to:

receive, from a base station, at least one parameter associated with a sidelink transmission;

identify whether the terminal is configured to simultaneously transmit an uplink transmission and the sidelink transmission;

transmit, to a second terminal, the sidelink transmission in case that no uplink transmission is configured, wherein a transmission power for the sidelink transmission is identified from two or more transmission power values; and

transmit, to a base station, the uplink transmission in case that the terminal is configured to simultaneously transmit the uplink transmission and the sidelink transmission,

wherein the sidelink transmission is not transmitted to the second terminal, in case that the terminal is configured to simultaneously transmit the uplink transmission and the sidelink transmission.

7. The first terminal of claim 6 , wherein the two or more transmission power values include a first transmission power value which is determined based on the at least one parameter and a second transmission power value which is a maximum available transmission power value for the sidelink transmission.

8. The first terminal of claim 7 , wherein the first transmission power is determined by further considering of a number of assigned resource blocks for the sidelink transmission, a downlink pathloss, and a power control related value.

9. The first terminal of claim 6 , wherein the transmission power for the sidelink transmission is a smallest value among the two or more transmission power values.

10. The first terminal of claim 6 , wherein the sidelink transmission includes a sidelink data transmission.
