Abstract

Embodiments relate to a method and device for transmitting and receiving sidelink HARQ feedback information. An embodiment relates to a method of receiving, by user equipment, a positioning reference signal (PRS). The user equipment receives configuration information regarding a PRS resource, which is used in reception of a PRS, from a base station, configures the PRS resource for the user equipment in accordance with the configuration information, and receives the PRS from the base station via the PRS resource.

Claims (25)

1. A method of receiving, by user equipment, a positioning reference signal (PRS), the method comprising:

receiving configuration information regarding a PRS resource, which is used in reception of a PRS, from a base station;

monitoring the PRS resource for the user equipment in accordance with the configuration information; and

receiving the PRS from the base station via the PRS resource,

wherein the configuration information comprises a PRS identifier regarding the PRS resource, a PRS sequence, frequency domain allocation information, time domain allocation information, and information regarding a comb size,

wherein the time domain allocation information comprises information regarding an index of a start symbol, at which the PRS starts to be transmitted, in a slot in which the PRS resource starts, and a size of N number of consecutive symbols in which the PRS is configured, where N is set to be one from among 2, 4, 6, and 12, and

wherein the information regarding the comb size comprises pattern information of a frequency domain in which the PRS is configured in the PRS resource, where the comb size is set to be one from among 2, 4, 6, and 12.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the configuration information is indicated by higher layer signaling.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the configuration information comprises information configured for the PRS resource, including subcarrier spacing information, cyclic prefix information, and information regarding a lowest subcarrier in a frequency band allocated to the reception of the PRS.

4. A method of transmitting, by a base station, a positioning reference signal (PRS), the method comprising:

configuring configuration information regarding a PRS resource used in transmission of a PRS; and

transmitting the configuration information regarding the PRS resource to user equipment via the PRS resource,

wherein the configuration information comprises a PRS identifier regarding the PRS resource, a PRS sequence, frequency domain allocation information, time domain allocation information, and information regarding a comb size,

wherein the time domain allocation information comprises information regarding an index of a start symbol, at which the PRS starts to be transmitted, in a slot in which the PRS resource starts, and a size of N number of consecutive symbols in which the PRS is configured, where N is set to be one from among 2, 4, 6, and 12, and

wherein the information regarding the comb size comprises pattern information of a frequency domain in which the PRS is configured in the PRS resource, where the comb size is set to be one from among 2, 4, 6, and 12.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the configuration information is indicated by higher layer signaling.

6. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the configuration information comprises information configured for the PRS resource, including subcarrier spacing information, cyclic prefix information, and information regarding a lowest subcarrier in a frequency band allocated to the reception of the PRS.

7. User equipment for receiving a positioning reference signal (PRS), the user equipment comprising:

a receiver configured to receive configuration information regarding a PRS resource, which is used in reception of a PRS, from a base station and receiving the PRS via the PRS resource; and

a controller configured to monitor the PRS resource regarding the user equipment in accordance with the configuration information,

wherein the configuration information comprises a PRS identifier regarding the PRS resource, a PRS sequence, frequency domain allocation information, time domain allocation information, and information regarding a comb size,

wherein the time domain allocation information comprises information regarding an index of a start symbol, at which the PRS starts to be transmitted, in a slot in which the PRS resource starts, and a size of N number of consecutive symbols in which the PRS is configured, where N is set to be one from among 2, 4, 6, and 12, and

wherein the information regarding the comb size comprises pattern information of a frequency domain in which the PRS is configured in the PRS resource, where the comb size is set to be one from among 2, 4, 6, and 12.

8. The user equipment according to claim 7 , wherein the configuration information is indicated by higher layer signaling.

9. The user equipment according to claim 7 , wherein the configuration information comprises information configured for the PRS resource, including subcarrier spacing information, cyclic prefix information, and information regarding a lowest subcarrier in a frequency band allocated to the reception of the PRS.
