Abstract

Disclosed is a method for a terminal transmitting a sidelink data channel in a wireless communication system. Particularly, the method comprises a step for transmitting a sidelink data channel having a first priority. The sum if resources which can be used for all sidelink data channels having a priority equal to or lower than the first priority is equal to or less than a threshold corresponding to the first priority.

Claims (56)

1. A method of transmission from a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

performing a sidelink shared channel transmission using a plurality of resources selected by the terminal,

wherein the sidelink shared channel transmission is performed so as to satisfy a condition that:

for each priority among a plurality of priorities,

for transmissions having equal or lower priority than the priority, a sum of resources utilizations for the transmissions is constrained to be equal to or less than a threshold corresponding to the priority,

wherein the threshold corresponding to the priority is determined based on a channel busy ratio (CBR) measured by the terminal.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the threshold corresponding to the priority is determined based on a value announced by a base station.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the resources utilizations for the transmissions is induced based on a number of subchannels used for transmission in a pre-determined time interval.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein satisfying a condition for each priority among a plurality of priorities comprises:

for transmissions having equal to or lower priority than a first priority, a first sum of resource utilizations for the transmissions is constrained to be equal to or less than a first threshold corresponding to the first priority, and

for a second priority having lower priority than the first priority, and for transmissions having equal to or lower priority than the second priority, a second sum of resource utilizations for the transmissions is constrained to be equal to or less than a second threshold corresponding to the second priority.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein a first amount of resources associated with the first priority for the sidelink shared channel is greater than a second amount of resources associated with the second priority for the sidelink shared channel.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein, for a third priority, and for transmissions having the third priority, a third sum of resource utilizations for the transmissions is equal to or less than a third threshold corresponding to the third priority, and

wherein the third priority is a lowest priority among the plurality of priorities.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

configuring the first threshold, the second threshold, and the third threshold corresponding to the first priority, the second priority, and the third priority, respectively,

wherein the first threshold is related to a first maximum limit on resource utilization for transmitting with the first priority on the sidelink shared channel,

wherein the second threshold is related to a second maximum limit on resource utilization for transmitting with the second priority on the sidelink shared channel, and

wherein the third threshold is related to a third maximum limit on resource utilization for transmitting with the third priority on the sidelink shared channel.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

based on the sum of resource utilizations for the transmissions having equal to or lower priority than the priority exceeding the threshold, dropping at least one transmissions having a second priority lower than the priority.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the threshold is related to a maximum limit on resource utilization for transmitting with the priority on the sidelink shared channel.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the resource utilization for transmitting with the priority on the sidelink shared channel is related to an aggregate number of sub-channels allocated to the terminal on the sidelink shared channel.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein satisfying the condition that, for the transmissions having equal or lower priority than the priority, the sum of resources utilizations for the transmissions is constrained to be equal to or less than the threshold corresponding to the priority is represented by the equation:

∑

i

≥

k

RU

⁡

(

i

)

≤

⁡

(

)

wherein RU(i) represents a resource utilization for transmissions having a priority equal to i on the sidelink shared channel, and

wherein TRU(k) represents a maximum limit on resource utilization for transmitting with a priority equal to k on the sidelink shared channel.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sidelink shared channel is a Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH).

13. A terminal configured to operate in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor perform operations comprising:

performing a sidelink shared channel transmission using a plurality of resources selected by the terminal itself,

wherein the sidelink shared channel transmission is performed so as to satisfy a condition that:

for each priority among a plurality of priorities,

for transmissions having equal or lower priority than the priority, a sum of resources utilizations for the transmissions is constrained to be equal to or less than a threshold corresponding to the priority,

wherein the threshold corresponding to the priority is determined based on a channel busy ratio (CBR) measured by the terminal.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations for a terminal, the operations comprising:

performing a sidelink shared channel transmission using a plurality of resources selected by the terminal itself,

wherein the sidelink shared channel transmission is performed so as to satisfy a condition that:

for each priority among a plurality of priorities,

for transmissions having equal or lower priority than the priority, a sum of resources utilizations for the transmissions is constrained to be equal to or less than a threshold corresponding to the priority,

wherein the threshold corresponding to the priority is determined based on a channel busy ratio (CBR) measured by the terminal.
