Abstract

An operation method of a first terminal, performed in a communication system, may comprise receiving sidelink resource allocation information from a base station; receiving a first sidelink signal from a second terminal based on the sidelink resource allocation information; calculating a path loss experienced by the first sidelink signal based on the first sidelink signal; transmitting a second sidelink signal including information on the path loss experienced by the first sidelink signal to the second terminal; and receiving, from the second terminal, a third sidelink signal to which a sidelink transmit power determined based on the path loss is allocated.

Claims (23)

1. An operation method of a transmitting terminal, performed in a communication system, the operation method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, sidelink resource allocation information and information on filter coefficients;

transmitting a first sidelink signal to a receiving terminal based on the sidelink resource allocation information;

receiving a second sidelink signal including information on a received signal strength of the first sidelink signal from the receiving terminal;

calculating a path loss experienced by the first sidelink signal based on a transmit power of the first sidelink signal and the received signal strength of the first sidelink signal;

determining a transmit power of a third sidelink signal based on the path loss experienced by the first sidelink signal; and

transmitting the third sidelink signal to the receiving terminal according to the transmit power of the third sidelink signal,

wherein the received signal strength is a value that the second terminal obtains by performing layer-3 (L3) filtering on a layer-1 (L1) reference signal received power (RSRP) measured on the first sidelink signal according to the filter coefficients.

2. The operation method according to claim 1 , wherein the sidelink resource allocation information instructs the transmitting terminal to calculate the path loss experienced by the first sidelink signal.

3. The operation method according to claim 1 , wherein the third sidelink signal further includes information on the transmit power of the third sidelink signal.

4. The operation method according to claim 3 , wherein the third sidelink signal further includes information on a change in a transmit power of the second sidelink signal compared to the transmit power of the first sidelink signal.

5. The operation method according to claim 1 , wherein the transmit power of the first sidelink signal is determined to be proportional to a bandwidth of the first sidelink signal.

6. The operation method according to claim 5 , wherein the transmit power of the first sidelink signal is determined to be proportional to a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) of the first sidelink signal.

7. An operation method of a receiving terminal, performed in a communication system, the operation method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, sidelink resource allocation information and information on filter coefficients;

receiving a first sidelink signal from a transmitting terminal based on the sidelink resource allocation information;

obtaining a received signal strength of the first sidelink signal by performing layer-3 (L3) filtering on a layer-1 (L1) reference signal received power (RSRP) measured on the first sidelink signal according to the filter coefficients;

transmitting a second sidelink signal including information on the received signal strength of the first sidelink signal to the transmitting terminal; and

receiving a third sidelink signal from the transmitting terminal, the third sidelink signal having a transmit power determined based on a path loss calculated by the transmitting terminal based on a transmit power of the first sidelink and the received signal strength of the first sidelink signal.

8. The operation method according to claim 7 , wherein the third sidelink signal further includes information on the transmit power of the third sidelink signal.

9. The operation method according to claim 7 , wherein the third sidelink signal further includes information on a change in a transmit power of the second sidelink signal compared to the transmit power of the first sidelink signal.

10. The operation method according to claim 7 , wherein the transmit power of the first sidelink signal is determined to be proportional to a bandwidth of the first sidelink signal.

11. The operation method according to claim 7 , wherein the transmit power of the first sidelink signal is determined to be proportional to a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) of the first sidelink signal.
