Abstract

A distance measurement method of user equipment in a wireless communication system is provided. The method comprises receiving a plurality of ranging request signals and transmitting a plurality of ranging response signals for the plurality of ranging request signals, wherein the number of transmitted ranging response signals is less than or equal to a maximum response signal number, and the maximum response signal number is determined on the basis of a channel busy ratio (CBR) measured by the terminal.

Claims (40)

1. A method for measuring range in a wireless communication system, the method performed by a first user equipment (UE) and comprising:

receiving a first sidelink control information (SCI) format scheduling a first physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) from a second UE;

receiving multiple ranging request signals through the first PSSCH from the second UE;

transmitting a second SCI format scheduling a second PSSCH to the second UE; and

transmitting multiple ranging response signals for the multiple ranging request signals through the second PSSCH to the second UE,

wherein each of the first SCI format and the second SCI format comprises i) a priority field, ii) resource reservation field, iii) frequency resource location of initial transmission and retransmission field, iv) a time gap between initial transmission and retransmission field, v) modulation and coding scheme (MCS) field, vi) retransmission index field, and vii) reserved information bits,

wherein a number of the transmitted ranging response signals is less than or equal to a maximum number of response signals,

wherein the maximum number of response signals is determined based on a channel busy ratio (CBR) measured by the first UE,

wherein based on the CBR being measured for the second PSSCH in subframe n, wherein n is an integer, the CBR is a portion of sub-channels in a resource pool whose Sidelink Received Signal Strength Indicator (S-RSSI) measured by the first UE exceeds a configured threshold sensed over subframes [n−100, n−1], and

wherein, among the multiple ranging request signals received by the first UE, in a case where a number of successfully decoded ranging request signals is greater than the maximum number of response signals, ranging response signals for ranging request signals having a reception power relatively greater than a predetermined threshold value are transmitted.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein, in addition to the maximum number of response signals, at least one of a maximum allowed transmission power, an allowed transmission resource size, and a number of retransmissions of the transmitted ranging response signals are determined based on the CBR measured by the first UE.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CBR is a ranging request signal-specific CBR.

4. A user equipment (UE), comprising:

a transceiver configured for transmitting and receiving radio signals; and

a processor being operatively connected to the transceiver,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive a first sidelink control information (SCI) format scheduling a first physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) from another UE;

receive multiple ranging request signals through the first PSSCH from the other UE;

transmit a second SCI format scheduling a second PSSCH to the other UE; and

transmit multiple ranging response signals for the multiple ranging request signals through the second PSSCH to the other UE,

wherein each of the first SCI format and the second SCI format comprises i) a priority field, ii) resource reservation field, iii) frequency resource location of initial transmission and retransmission field, iv) a time gap between initial transmission and retransmission field, v) modulation and coding scheme (MCS) field, vi) retransmission index field, and vii) reserved information bits,

wherein a number of the transmitted ranging response signals is less than or equal to a maximum number of response signals,

wherein the maximum number of response signals is determined based on a channel busy ratio (CBR) measured by the UE,

wherein based on the CBR being measured for the second PSSCH in subframe n, wherein n is an integer, the CBR is a portion of sub-channels in a resource pool whose Sidelink Received Signal Strength Indicator (S-RSSI) measured by the first UE exceeds a configured threshold sensed over subframes [n−100, n−1], and

wherein, among the multiple ranging request signals received by the UE, in a case where a number of successfully decoded ranging request signals is greater than the maximum number of response signals, ranging response signals for ranging request signals having a reception power relatively greater than a predetermined threshold value are transmitted.

5. The UE of claim 4 , wherein, in addition to the maximum number of response signals, at least one of a maximum allowed transmission power, an allowed transmission resource size, and a number of retransmissions of the transmitted ranging response signals are determined based on the CBR measured by the UE.

6. The UE of claim 4 , wherein the CBR is a ranging request signal-specific CBR.

7. An apparatus configured for operating in a wireless communication system, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory coupled to the processor,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive a first sidelink control information (SCI) format scheduling a first physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) from another UE;

receive multiple ranging request signals through the first PSSCH from the other UE;

transmit a second SCI format scheduling a second PSSCH to the other UE; and

transmit multiple ranging response signals for the multiple ranging request signals through the second PSSCH to the other UE,

wherein each of the first SCI format and the second SCI format comprises i) a priority field, ii) resource reservation field, iii) frequency resource location of initial transmission and retransmission field, iv) a time gap between initial transmission and retransmission field, v) modulation and coding scheme (MCS) field, vi) retransmission index field, and vii) reserved information bits,

wherein a number of the transmitted ranging response signals is less than or equal to a maximum number of response signals,

wherein the maximum number of response signals is determined based on a channel busy ratio (CBR) measured by the apparatus,

wherein based on the CBR being measured for the second PSSCH in subframe n, wherein n is an integer, the CBR is a portion of sub-channels in a resource pool whose Sidelink Received Signal Strength Indicator (S-RSSI) measured by the first UE exceeds a configured threshold sensed over subframes [n−100, n−1], and

wherein, among the multiple ranging request signals received by the apparatus, in a case where a number of successfully decoded ranging request signals is greater than the maximum number of response signals, ranging response signals for ranging request signals having a reception power relatively greater than a predetermined threshold value are transmitted.
