Abstract

Provided are a method by which a first device performs wireless communication, and a device for supporting same. The method can comprise the steps of: transmitting one or more reference signals (RSs) to a second device on the basis of first transmit power; receiving, from the second device, information related to a channel state measured on the basis of the one or more RSs; changing the first transmit power to second transmit power on the basis of the information related to the channel state; and transmitting the one or more RSs to the second device on the basis of the second transmit power.

Claims (48)

1. A method for performing wireless communication by a first device, the method comprising:

establishing a unicast connection with a second device;

transmitting sidelink control information (SCI) to the second device through a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH);

transmitting, to the second device, a demodulation reference signal (DMRS), based on a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) resource related to the PSCCH;

obtaining reference signal power from transmit power higher layer filtered using sidelink (SL) filter coefficient information of the first device;

receiving, from the second device, information related to higher layer filtered reference signal received power (RSRP) which is obtained from the DMRS using SL filter coefficient information of the second device;

obtaining a SL pathloss by subtracting the higher layer filtered RSRP from the higher layer filtered reference signal power; and

determining first transmit power based on the SL pathloss, based on transmission on the PSSCH related to unicast.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the higher layer includes layer-3 (L3).

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SL filter coefficient information used for obtaining the reference signal power and the higher layer filtered RSRP corresponds to a same filter coefficient value.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information related to the higher layer filtered RSRP is obtained from the DMRS by the second device using the SL filter coefficient information of the second device.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SL filter coefficient information is configured for each resource pool.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting, to the second device, a PC5 radio resource control (RRC) message including information related to the SL filter coefficient information.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, from the second device, a PC5 radio resource control (RRC) message including information related to the SL filter coefficient information.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining the first transmit power based on the SL pathloss comprises:

obtaining a downlink (DL) pathloss between the first device and a base station,

wherein the first transmit power is determined based on a minimum value among (i) second transmit power obtained based on the SL pathloss and (ii) third transmit power obtained based on the DL pathloss.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmit power is time-varying.

10. A first device configured to perform wireless communication, the first device comprising:

one or more memories storing instructions;

one or more transceivers; and

one or more processors connected to the one or more memories and the one or more transceivers, wherein the one or more processors execute the instructions to:

establish a unicast connection with a second device;

control the one or more transceivers to transmit sidelink control information (SCI) to the second device through a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH);

control the one or more transceivers to transmit, to the second device, a demodulation reference signal (DMRS), based on a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) resource related to the PSCCH;

obtain reference signal power from transmit power higher layer filtered using sidelink (SL) filter coefficient information of the first device;

control the one or more transceivers to receive, from the second device, information related to higher layer filtered reference signal received power (RSRP) which is obtained from the DMRS using SL filter coefficient information of the second device;

obtain a SL pathloss by subtracting the higher layer filtered RSRP from the higher layer filtered reference signal power; and

determine first transmit power based on the SL pathloss, based on transmission on the PSSCH related to unicast.

11. The first device of claim 10 , wherein the higher layer includes layer-3 (L3).

12. The first device of claim 10 , wherein the SL filter coefficient information used for obtaining the reference signal power and the higher layer filtered RSRP corresponds to a same filter coefficient value.

13. The first device of claim 10 , wherein the information related to the higher layer filtered RSRP is obtained from the DMRS by the second device using the SL filter coefficient information of the second device.

14. The first device of claim 10 , wherein the SL filter coefficient information is configured for each resource pool.

15. The first device of claim 10 , wherein the transmit power is time-varying.

16. An apparatus configured to control a first device, the apparatus comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more memories operably connected to the one or more processors and storing instructions, wherein the one or more processors execute the instructions to:

establish a unicast connection with a second device;

transmit sidelink control information (SCI) to the second device through a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH);

transmit, to the second device, a demodulation reference signal (DMRS), based on a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) resource related to the PSCCH;

obtain reference signal power from transmit power higher layer filtered using sidelink (SL) filter coefficient information of the first device;

receive, from the second device, information related to higher layer filtered reference signal received power (RSRP) which is obtained from the DMRS using SL filter coefficient information of the second device;

obtain a SL pathloss by subtracting the higher layer filtered RSRP from the higher layer filtered reference signal power; and

determine first transmit power based on the SL pathloss, based on transmission on the PSSCH related to unicast.

17. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the higher layer includes layer-3 (L3).

18. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the SL filter coefficient information used for obtaining the reference signal power and the higher layer filtered RSRP corresponds to a same filter coefficient value.

19. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the information related to the higher layer filtered RSRP is obtained from the DMRS by the second device using the SL filter coefficient information of the second device.

20. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the SL filter coefficient information is configured for each resource pool.
