Abstract

Provided are a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT), with a transmission and receipt processing method and device for time-frequency synchronization between V2X terminals. When a synchronization signal to be transmitted is identical to a synchronization signal of an existing D2D terminal, time-frequency resources configured for the D2D terminal in a cell are reused to transmit the synchronization signal. When synchronization signal to be transmitted is different from a synchronization signal of an existing D2D terminal, reconfigured time-frequency resources are used to transmit the synchronization signal. The synchronization signal transmitted by a V2X terminal indicates a corresponding synchronization source type by using a value of an SLSS sequence index and/or a value of a PSBCH specified field.

Claims (28)

1. A method performed by a terminal for vehicle to everything (V2X) communication in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

identifying configuration information for the V2X communication including synchronization priority information set to a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) or a base station, the synchronization priority information indicating whether the terminal prioritizes the base station over the GNSS;

receiving a plurality of synchronization signals; and

selecting a synchronization reference from the plurality of synchronization signals, based on the synchronization priority information,

wherein, in case that the synchronization priority information is set to the base station, the base station is prioritized over the GNSS and a priority order of selecting a synchronization reference is as follows,

at least one first terminal transmitting at least one first synchronization has a first priority;

a GNSS signal has a second priority; and

at least one second terminal transmitting at least one second synchronization signal has a third priority, and

wherein the at least one first terminal has selected the base station as the synchronization reference, and

the at least one second terminal has selected the GNSS as the synchronization reference.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a priority of a first terminal in coverage is higher than a priority of a first terminal out of coverage.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein a priority of a second terminal in coverage is higher than a priority of a second terminal out of coverage.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of synchronization signals include at least one of a sidelink synchronization signal (SLSS) and a broadcast signal.

5. A terminal or vehicle to everything (V2X) communication in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor configured to:

identify configuration information for the V2X communication including synchronization priority information set to a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) or a base station, the synchronization priority information indicating whether the terminal prioritizes the base station over the GNSS;

control the transceiver to receive a plurality of synchronization signals; and

select a synchronization reference from the plurality of synchronization signals, based on the synchronization priority information,

wherein, in case that the synchronization priority information is set to the base station, the at least one processor is further configured to prioritize the base station over the GNSS and select the synchronization reference based on a priority order as follows:

at least one first terminal transmitting at least one first synchronization has a first priority;

a GNSS signal has a second priority; and

at least one second terminal transmitting at least one second synchronization signal has a third priority, and

wherein the at least one first terminal has selected the base station as the synchronization reference, and

the at least one second terminal has selected the GNSS as the synchronization reference.

6. The terminal of claim 5 , wherein a priority of a first terminal in coverage is higher than a priority of a first terminal out of coverage.

7. The terminal of claim 5 , wherein a priority of a second terminal in coverage is higher than a priority of a second terminal out of coverage.

8. The terminal of claim 5 , wherein the plurality of synchronization signals include at least one of a sidelink synchronization signal (SLSS) and a broadcast signal.
