Abstract

The present application discloses a method for allocating resources for direct communication between terminals in a wireless communication system. Specifically, the method for allocating resources comprises: a step of configuring a first periodic resource so as to transmit multiple messages via direct communication between the terminals; and a step of transmitting the multiple messages by using the first periodic resource if a coding rate corresponding to the first periodic resource is below a maximum coding rate configured by an upper layer, wherein, if the coding rate is equal to or above the maximum coding rate, the first periodic resource is released and a second periodic resource is configured.

Claims (51)

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

receiving, from a base station, configuration information regarding at least one sidelink resource pool that is configured for the UE to perform sidelink transmission with another UE, wherein the at least one sidelink resource pool includes a first sidelink resource pool for a sidelink shared channel;

selecting, autonomously, a first sidelink resource from the first sidelink resource pool to perform a sidelink transmission on the sidelink shared channel;

receiving, from the base station, information regarding a maximum allowed coding rate for the UE to perform sidelink transmission on the sidelink shared channel; and

based on the selected first sidelink resource not being able to accommodate a data unit to be transmitted through the sidelink shared channel using the maximum allowed coding rate:

performing, autonomously, sidelink resource re-selection from the first sidelink resource pool for the sidelink shared channel, without dividing the data unit into smaller data units.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sidelink resource re-selection is performed to select a second sidelink resource from the first sidelink resource pool for the sidelink shared channel.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

based on the selected first sidelink resource not being able to accommodate the data unit to be transmitted through the sidelink shared channel using the maximum allowed coding rate:

transmitting, to another UE, the data unit using the second sidelink resource through the sidelink shared channel.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one sidelink resource pool includes a second sidelink resource pool for a sidelink control channel, and

wherein the method further comprises: selecting, autonomously, a first sidelink control resource from the second sidelink resource pool to perform a sidelink control communication on the sidelink control channel.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein selecting, autonomously, the first sidelink resource from the first sidelink resource pool comprises: selecting periodic sidelink resources.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting a first data unit using the first sidelink resource through the sidelink shared channel, based on selecting the first sidelink resource from the first sidelink resource pool.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

based on the first sidelink resource not being able to accommodate a second data unit to be transmitted through the sidelink shared channel using the maximum allowed coding rate:

performing, autonomously, the sidelink resource re-selection from the first sidelink resource pool for the sidelink shared channel, without dividing the second data unit into smaller data units.

8. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

based on the first sidelink resource not being able to accommodate a second data unit to be transmitted through the sidelink shared channel using the maximum allowed coding rate:

dividing the second data unit into smaller data units.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the second data unit is divided into a plurality of sub-data units, and wherein at least one sub-data unit among the plurality of sub-data units is configured to have a size to fill the selected first sidelink resource.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein based on the selected first sidelink resource not being able to accommodate the data unit to be transmitted through the sidelink shared channel using the maximum allowed coding rate:

the selected first sidelink resource is released before performing the sidelink resource re-selection.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the selecting the first sidelink resource and performing the sidelink resource re-selection are performed using random selection from the first sidelink resource pool.

12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

based on the selected first sidelink resource being able to accommodate the data unit to be transmitted through the sidelink shared channel using the maximum allowed coding rate:

transmitting, to another UE, the data unit on the selected first sidelink resource through the sidelink shared channel.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein based on the selected first sidelink resource being able to accommodate the data unit to be transmitted through the sidelink shared channel using the maximum allowed coding rate:

the data unit, transmitted on the selected first sidelink resource, is coded by using a coding rate which is less than or equal to the maximum allowed coding rate.

14. A user equipment (UE) configured to perform sidelink communication in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connected to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

receiving, from a base station through the at least one transceiver, configuration information regarding at least one sidelink resource pool that is configured for the UE to perform sidelink transmission with another UE, wherein the at least one sidelink resource pool includes a first sidelink resource pool for a sidelink shared channel;

selecting, autonomously, a first sidelink resource from the first sidelink resource pool to perform a sidelink transmission on the sidelink shared channel;

receiving, from the base station through the at least one transceiver, information regarding a maximum allowed coding rate for the UE to perform sidelink transmission on the sidelink shared channel; and

based on the selected first sidelink resource not being able to accommodate a data unit to be transmitted through the sidelink shared channel using the maximum allowed coding rate:

performing, autonomously, sidelink resource re-selection from the first sidelink resource pool for the sidelink shared channel, without dividing the data unit into smaller data units.

15. The UE of claim 14 , wherein the sidelink resource re-selection is performed to select a second sidelink resource from the first sidelink resource pool for the sidelink shared channel.

16. The UE of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise:

based on the selected first sidelink resource not being able to accommodate the data unit to be transmitted through the sidelink shared channel using the maximum allowed coding rate:

transmitting, to another UE through the at least one transceiver, the data unit using the second sidelink resource through the sidelink shared channel.

17. The UE of claim 14 , wherein the at least one sidelink resource pool includes a second sidelink resource pool for a sidelink control channel, and

wherein the operations further comprise: selecting, autonomously, a first sidelink control resource from the second sidelink resource pool to perform a sidelink control communication on the sidelink control channel.

18. The UE of claim 14 , wherein selecting, autonomously, the first sidelink resource from the first sidelink resource pool comprises: selecting periodic sidelink resources.

19. The UE of claim 14 , wherein the operations further comprise:

transmitting a first data unit using the first sidelink resource through the sidelink shared channel, based on selecting the first sidelink resource from the first sidelink resource pool.

20. The UE of claim 19 , wherein the operations further comprise:

based on the first sidelink resource not being able to accommodate a second data unit to be transmitted through the sidelink shared channel using the maximum allowed coding rate:

performing, autonomously, the sidelink resource re-selection from the first sidelink resource pool for the sidelink shared channel, without dividing the second data unit into smaller data units.
