Abstract

According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a method performed by a user equipment in a wireless communication system: receives discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration information for each of a plurality of bandwidth parts (BWPs), wherein the DRX configuration information includes a first on duration associated with a DRX operation; and on the basis of the DRX configuration information, transmits a discovery signal during the first on duration on an activated BWP from among the plurality of BWPs, wherein the DRX configuration information is configured for each of the plurality of BWPs.

Claims (28)

1. A method of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system for supporting sidelink channel, the method comprising:

receiving information on an available DRX pattern from each of other UEs through the sidelink channel;

generating available discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration information for a low power operation;

transmitting the generated DRX configuration information to each of the other UEs through the sidelink channel; and

transmitting a signal through the sidelink channel according to the generated DRX configuration information,

wherein the available DRX pattern is determined based on a length of an ON duration and a period of the ON duration, and

wherein the length of the ON duration and the period of the ON duration related to the available DRX configuration information are selected based on the available DRX pattern related to the each of the other UEs.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE that generates the DRX configuration information is a transmission user equipment (TX UE) as a subject that transmits the signal based on data generating.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the available DRX configuration information includes information on at least one DRX pattern determined based on at least one of a priority for each service, an available power state, or radio frequency (RF) capability.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the available DRX pattern is determined further based on a start offset of the ON duration.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a DRX pattern related to the available DRX configuration information is selected to match the ON duration of the available DRX pattern in the UE and the ON duration of the available DRX pattern in the each of the other UEs as much as possible, and the signal is transmitted according to the selected DRX pattern.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the generated DRX configuration information is transmitted through any one of a discovery channel, a control channel, and a data channel.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the available DRX configuration information includes DRX configuration information for each bandwidth part (BWP) of at least one currently activated BWP among a plurality of preconfigured BWPs.

8. An apparatus for a user equipment (UE) for performing communication through sidelink channel in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory operatively connected to the at least one processor and configured to store at least one instruction for causing the at least one processor to perform operations, the operations including:

receiving information on an available DRX pattern related to each of other UEs from the other UEs through the sidelink channel;

generating available discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration information for a low power operation;

transmitting the generated DRX configuration information to the other UEs through the sidelink channel; and

transmitting a signal through the sidelink channel according to the generated DRX configuration information,

wherein the available DRX pattern is determined based on a length of an ON duration and a period of the ON duration, and

wherein the length of the ON duration and the period of the ON duration related to the available DRX configuration information are selected based on the available DRX pattern related to the each of the other UEs.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the available DRX configuration information includes information on at least one DRX pattern determined based on at least one of a priority for each service, an available power state, or radio frequency (RF) capability.

10. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the available DRX pattern is determined further based on a start offset of the ON duration.

11. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the processor selects a DRX pattern related to the available DRX configuration information to match the ON duration of the available DRX pattern in the UE and the ON duration of the available DRX pattern in the each of the other UEs as much as possible and transmits the signal according to the selected DRX pattern.

12. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the generated DRX configuration information is transmitted through any one of a discovery channel, a control channel, and a data channel.

13. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the available DRX configuration information includes DRX configuration information for each bandwidth part (BWP) of at least one currently activated BWP among a plurality of preconfigured BWPs.

14. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein at least one of the UE or the each of the other UEs is an autonomous driving vehicle or is included in the autonomous driving vehicle.
