Abstract

A method for receiving feedback information by a first moving object may comprise the steps of: transmitting a sidelink sounding reference signal (SRS) to a second moving object through each of distributed transmit antennas; receiving, from the second moving object, feedback information including first information associated with the similarity in coherent time between each of distributed receive antennas of the second moving object; and setting a transmission period of the sidelink SRS on the basis of the feedback information.

Claims (30)

1. A method of transmitting feedback information by a first moving object, the method comprising:

receiving sidelink sounding reference signals (SRSs) through individual distributed receive antennas from a second moving object;

generating first information on similarity in coherent times between the individual distributed receive antennas by measuring the sidelink SRSs received through the individual distributed receive antennas; and

transmitting the feedback information including the first information to the second moving object.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first information comprises distributed receive antenna grouping information on grouping of distributed receive antennas having similarity in coherent times therebetween greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the feedback information further comprises information indicating that sidelink SRSs need to be transmitted with a same periodicity for a same distributed receive antenna group.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating, based on the measurement, second information on an SRS resource on which a highest quality SRS is transmitted and a number of distributed receive antennas corresponding to SRS resources having similarity in coherent times with the SRS resource greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold, and wherein the feedback information further comprises the second information.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating, based on the measurement, third information on an SRS port and an SRS resource on which a highest quality SRS is transmitted and a number of distributed receive antennas having similarity in coherent times with the SRS port greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold, and wherein the feedback information further comprises the third information.

6. A method of receiving feedback information by a first moving object, the method comprising:

transmitting sidelink sounding reference signals (SRSs) through individual distributed transmit antennas to a second moving object;

receiving, from the second moving object, feedback information including first information on similarity in coherent times between individual distributed receive antennas of the second moving object; and

configuring transmission periodicities of the sidelink SRSs based on the feedback information.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the first information comprises distributed receive antenna grouping information on grouping of distributed receive antennas of the second moving object having similarity in coherent times greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold, and wherein the configuring comprises configuring a same SRS transmission periodicity for a same distributed receive antenna group.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the configuring further comprises configuring transmission periodicities for different receive antenna groups such that transmission intervals of the sidelink SRSs do not overlap with each other in a time domain.

9. A first moving object for transmitting feedback information, the first moving object comprising:

a receiver configured to receive sidelink sounding reference signals (SRSs) through individual distributed receive antennas from a second moving object;

a processor configured to generate first information on similarity in coherent times between the individual distributed receive antennas by measuring the sidelink SRSs received through the individual distributed receive antennas; and

a transmitter configured to transmit the feedback information including the first information to the second moving object.

10. The first object of claim 9 , wherein the first information comprises distributed receive antenna grouping information on grouping of distributed receive antennas having similarity in coherent times therebetween greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold.

11. The first object of claim 10 , wherein the feedback information further comprises information indicating that sidelink SRSs need to be transmitted with a same periodicity for a same distributed receive antenna group.

12. The first object of claim 9 , wherein the processor is configured to generate, based on the measurement, second information on an SRS resource on which a highest quality SRS is transmitted and a number of distributed receive antennas corresponding to SRS resources having similarity in coherent times with the SRS resource greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold, and wherein the feedback information further comprises the second information.

13. The first object of claim 9 , wherein the processor is configured to generate, based on the measurement, third information on an SRS port and an SRS resource on which a highest quality SRS is transmitted and a number of distributed receive antennas having similarity in coherent times with the SRS port greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold, and wherein the feedback information further comprises the third information.

14. The first object of claim 9 , wherein the first object is capable of communicating with at least one of another user equipment (UE), a UE related to an autonomous driving vehicle, the BS or a network.

15. A first moving object for receiving feedback information, the first moving object comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit sidelink sounding reference signals (SRSs) through individual distributed transmit antennas to a second moving object;

a receiver configured to receive, from the second moving object, feedback information including first information on similarity in coherent times between individual distributed receive antennas of the second moving object; and

a processor configured to configure transmission periodicities of the sidelink SRSs based on the feedback information.

16. The first object of claim 15 , wherein the processor is configured to configure transmission periodicities for different receive antenna groups such that transmission intervals of the sidelink SRSs do not overlap with each other in a time domain.

17. The first object of claim 15 , wherein the first moving object comprises a vehicle with a distributed antenna deployment structure.

18. The first object of claim 15 , wherein the first object is capable of communicating with at least one of another user equipment (UE), a UE related to an autonomous driving vehicle, the BS or a network.
