Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5 th -Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4 th -Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A method by a first terminal in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes determining whether to transmit a preamble for an automatic gain control (AGC), determining a slot and at least one symbol in the slot to transmit the preamble for the AGC, in a case in which it is determined to transmit the preamble for the AGC, and transmitting, to a second terminal, the preamble for the AGC in the determined slot and the at least one symbol in the slot.

Claims (42)

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

determining whether to transmit a preamble for an automatic gain control (AGC) based on a subcarrier spacing;

determining a slot and at least one symbol in the slot to transmit the preamble for the AGC, in case that it is determined to transmit the preamble for the AGC; and

transmitting, to a second terminal, the preamble for the AGC in the determined slot and at least one symbol in the slot,

wherein the slot is a previous slot of a slot to which a signal for the second terminal is transmitted, and the at least one symbol includes a last symbol or a last two symbols of the previous slot, and

wherein a length of the at least one symbol is determined based on the subcarrier spacing for the slot.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

detecting an energy for a preamble transmitted from a third terminal;

determining whether a channel is occupied by the third terminal based on the detection; and

determining whether to transmit the preamble for the AGC based on the determination of whether the channel is occupied by the third terminal.

3. A method by a second terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

determining whether to receive a preamble for an automatic gain control (AGC) based on a subcarrier spacing;

monitoring a slot and at least one symbol in the slot to receive the preamble for the AGC, in case that it is determined to receive the preamble for the AGC; and

receiving, to a first terminal, the preamble for the AGC in the slot and the at least one symbol in the slot,

wherein the slot and the at least one symbol in the slot to receive the preamble for AGC is determined by the first terminal, in case that it is determined by the first terminal to transmit the preamble for the AGC,

wherein the slot is a previous slot of a slot to which a signal for the second terminal is transmitted, and the at least one symbol includes a last symbol or a last two symbols of the previous slot, and

wherein a length of the at least one symbol is determined based on the subcarrier spacing for the slot.

4. The method of claim 3 ,

wherein the first terminal detects an energy for a preamble transmitted from a third terminal, determines whether a channel is occupied by the third terminal based on the detection, and determines whether to transmit the preamble for the AGC based on the determination of whether the channel is occupied by the third terminal.

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

a transceiver configured to communicate with other network entities; and

a controller configured to:

determine whether to transmit a preamble for an automatic gain control (AGC) based on a subcarrier spacing,

determine a slot and at least one symbol in the slot to transmit the preamble for AGC, in case that it is determined to transmit the preamble for the AGC, and

transmit, to a second terminal, the preamble for the AGC in the determined slot and at least one symbol in the slot,

wherein the slot is a previous slot of a slot to which a signal for the second terminal is transmitted, and the at least one symbol includes a last symbol or a last two symbols of the previous slot, and

wherein a length of the at least one symbol is determined based on the subcarrier spacing for the slot.

6. The first terminal of claim 5 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

detect an energy for a preamble transmitted from a third terminal,

determine whether a channel is occupied by the third terminal based on the detection, wherein the length of the at least one symbol is determined based on the subcarrier spacing for the slot of whether the channel is occupied by the third terminal, and

determine whether to transmit the preamble for the AGC based on the determination.

7. A second terminal in a wireless communication system, the second terminal comprising:

a transceiver configured to communicate with other network entities; and

a controller configured to:

determine whether to receive a preamble for an automatic gain control (AGC) based on a subcarrier spacing,

monitor a slot and at least one symbol in the slot to receive the preamble for AGC, in case that it is determined to receive the preamble for the AGC, and

receive, to a first terminal, the preamble for the AGC in the slot and the at least one symbol in the slot,

wherein the slot and the at least one symbol in the slot to receive the preamble for AGC is determined by the first terminal, in case that it is determined by the first terminal to transmit the preamble for the AGC,

wherein the slot is a previous slot of a slot to which a signal for the second terminal is transmitted, and the at least one symbol includes a last symbol or a last two symbols of the previous slot, and

wherein a length of the at least one symbol is determined based on the subcarrier spacing for the slot.

8. The second terminal of claim 7 ,

wherein the first terminal detects an energy for a preamble transmitted from a third terminal, determines whether a channel is occupied by the third terminal based on the detection of whether the channel is occupied by the third terminal, and determines whether to transmit the preamble for the AGC based on the determination.
