Abstract

The present disclosure relates to logical channel prioritization (LCP) in wireless communications. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method performed by a first wireless device in a wireless communication system comprises: creating a media access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU); and transmitting the MAC PDU to a second wireless device, wherein the MAC PDU includes at least one of data from sidelink control channel (SCCH), a MAC control element (CE) for sidelink (SL) feedback information, or data from sidelink transmission channel (STCH) according to a logical channel prioritization (LCP), wherein the data from SCCH including one or more PC5-signalling (PC5-S) messages has a higher priority to be included in the MAC PDU than the MAC CE for SL feedback information, and wherein the MAC CE for SL feedback information has a higher priority to be included in the MAC PDU than the data from STCH.

Claims (51)

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

creating a media access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU); and

transmitting the MAC PDU to a second wireless device,

wherein the MAC PDU includes at least one of data from sidelink control channel (SCCH) including one or more PC5-signalling (PC5-S) messages, a MAC control element (CE) for sidelink (SL) feedback information, or data from sidelink traffic channel (STCH) according to a logical channel prioritization (LCP),

wherein the data from SCCH including the one or more PC5-S messages has a higher priority to be included in the MAC PDU than the MAC CE for SL feedback information, and

wherein the MAC CE for SL feedback information has a higher priority to be included in the MAC PDU than the data from STCH.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data from SCCH comprises at least one of:

a PC5-S message from SCCH before a PC5-radio resource control (RRC) connection;

a RRC message from SCCH before the PC5-RRC connection;

a RRC message except SL-channel state information (SL-CSI) from SCCH after the PC5-RRC connection; or

a PC5-S message from SCCH after the PC5-RRC connection.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the PC5-RRC connection comprises a PC5-S unicast link establishment.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MAC CE for SL feedback information comprises a MAC CE for SL-channel state information (CSI).

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data from SCCH has a higher priority to be included in the MAC PDU than a radio resource control (RRC) message including SL-channel state information (CSI) from SCCH, and

wherein the RRC message including the SL-CSI from SCCH has a higher priority to be included in the MAC PDU than the data from STCH.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

obtaining SL-channel state information (CSI) based on a measurement on a sidelink channel between the first wireless device and the second wireless device; and

transmitting the SL-CSI to the second wireless device via at least one of a MAC CE or a radio resource control (RRC) message over SCCH with radio link control (RLC) transparent mode (TM).

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from a network, a configuration of a threshold value;

comparing a priority of an uplink logical channel for which a scheduling request (SR) is triggered and the threshold value; and

transmitting the SR based on:

a result of the comparison; and

a determination that a transmission of the SR is not able to be simultaneously performed with a SL transmission comprising a transmission of the MAC PDU.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the SR is transmitted based on a determination that a resource for the transmission of the SR overlaps with a resource for the SL transmission.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the result of the comparison is that the priority of the uplink logical channel for which the SR is triggered is lower than the threshold value.

10. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

performing the SL transmission based on that the priority of the uplink logical channel for which the SR is triggered is greater than or equal to the threshold value.

11. The method of claim 7 , wherein the SR is transmitted on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH).

12. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

receiving an uplink (UL) grant after transmitting the SR; and

performing a UL transmission based on the UL grant.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first wireless device is in communication with at least one of a user equipment, a network, or autonomous vehicles other than the first wireless device.

14. A wireless device in a wireless communication system comprising:

a transceiver;

a memory; and

at least one processor operatively coupled to the transceiver and the memory, and configured to:

create a media access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU), and

control the transceiver to transmit the MAC PDU to a second wireless device,

wherein the MAC PDU includes at least one of data from sidelink control channel (SCCH) including one or more PC5-signalling (PC5-S) messages, a MAC control element (CE) for sidelink (SL) feedback information, or data from sidelink traffic channel (STCH) according to a logical channel prioritization (LCP),

wherein the data from SCCH including the one or more PC5-S messages has a higher priority to be included in the MAC PDU than the MAC CE for SL feedback information, and

wherein the MAC CE for SL feedback information has a higher priority to be included in the MAC PDU than the data from STCH.

15. A method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system comprising:

receiving, from a first wireless device, a SL-BSR; and

transmitting, to the first wireless device, a SL grant after receiving the SL-BSR,

wherein the first wireless device is configured to:

create a media access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU); and

transmit the MAC PDU to a second wireless device,

wherein the MAC PDU includes at least one of data from sidelink control channel (SCCH) including one or more PC5-signalling (PC5-S) messages, a MAC control element (CE) for sidelink (SL) feedback information, or data from sidelink traffic channel (STCH) according to a logical channel prioritization (LCP),

wherein the data from SCCH including the one or more PC5-S messages has a higher priority to be included in the MAC PDU than the MAC CE for SL feedback information, and

wherein the MAC CE for SL feedback information has a higher priority to be included in the MAC PDU than the data from STCH.
