Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). A power control method, and a terminal for performing power control. The power control method includes: acquiring parameter configuration information for sidelink open loop power control; transmitting a sidelink physical channel or a sidelink physical signal to a second UE, so that the second UE measures a Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) based on the received sidelink physical channel or the sidelink physical signal, and feeds back the measured RSRP to a first UE; receiving the RSRP fed back by the second UE; calculating an open loop transmitting power based on the received RSRP and the acquired parameter configuration information for sidelink open loop power control.

Claims (30)

1. A method performed by a first user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station (BS), configuration parameters for a sidelink open loop power control (OLPC) via a radio resource control (RRC) signaling, wherein the configuration parameters include a first alpha value and a first P0 value for the sidelink OLPC, and a second alpha value and a second P0 value for a downlink OLPC;

receiving, from a second UE, information on a reference signal received power (RSRP); and

acquiring a power of a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) based on a maximum transmission power, and a minimum power between the power of the PSSCH for the downlink OLPC and the power of the PSSCH for the sidelink OLPC,

wherein the power of the PSSCH for the sidelink OLPC is acquired based on the first alpha value for the sidelink OLPC, the first P0 value for the sidelink OLPC, and the information on RSRP,

wherein the maximum transmission power is determined based on a priority of the PSSCH and a channel busy ratio (CBR), and

wherein the RSRP is measured by the second UE based on a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) of the PSSCH.

2. A first user equipment (UE) comprising a controller, the controller is configured to:

receive, from a base station (BS), configuration parameters for a sidelink open loop power control (OLPC) via a radio resource control (RRC) signaling, wherein the configuration parameters include a first alpha value and a first P0 value for the sidelink OLPC, and a second alpha value and a second P0 value for a downlink OLPC;

receive, from a second UE, information on a reference signal received power (RSRP); and

acquire a power of a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) based on a maximum transmission power, and a minimum power between the power of the PSSCH for the downlink OLPC and the power of the PSSCH for the sidelink OLPC,

wherein the power of the PSSCH for the sidelink OLPC is acquired based on the first alpha value for the sidelink OLPC, the first P0 value for the sidelink OLPC, and the information on RSRP,

wherein the maximum transmission power is determined based on a priority of the PSSCH and a channel busy ratio (CBR), and

wherein the RSRP is measured by the second UE based on a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) of the PSSCH.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first alpha value for the sidelink OLPC is a pathloss compensation factor for the sidelink OLPC, and

wherein the first P0 value for the sidelink OLPC is a target receiving power for the sidelink OLPC.

4. The first UE of claim 2 , wherein the first alpha value for the sidelink OLPC is a pathloss compensation factor for the sidelink OLPC, and

wherein the first P0 value for the sidelink OLPC is a target receiving power for the sidelink OLPC.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein, when the first UE is in-coverage, the power of the PSSCH is determined based on the power of the PSSCH for the downlink OLPC before a sidelink path loss is estimated, and

wherein, when the first UE is out-coverage, the power of the PSSCH is pre-configured before the sidelink path loss is estimated.

6. The first UE of claim 4 , wherein, when the first UE is in-coverage, the power of the PSSCH is determined based on the power of the PSSCH for the downlink OLPC before a sidelink path loss is estimated, and

wherein, when the first UE is out-coverage, the power of the PSSCH is pre-configured before the sidelink path loss is estimated.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the second UE, a signal for physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH),

wherein the PSFCH is configured with first parameter configuration information, and

wherein the PSSCH is configured with second parameter configuration information.

8. The first UE of claim 2 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

receive, from the second UE, a signal for physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH),

wherein the PSFCH is configured with first parameter configuration information, and

wherein the PSSCH is configured with second parameter configuration information.
