Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method and device for providing a V2X service in a next generation radio access technology (new RAT). The present embodiments provide a method for performing sidelink communication by a terminal and a device therefor, the method comprising the steps of: receiving sidelink synchronization block (SSB) configuration information including synchronization information for sidelink communication; monitoring a SSB monitoring slot configured on the basis of the SSB configuration information; and receiving a SSB in the SSB monitoring slot, wherein the SSB comprises a sidelink primary synchronization signal (S-PSS), a sidelink secondary synchronization signal (S-SSS), and a physical sidelink broadcast channel (PSBCH), and the S-PSS, the S-SSS, and the PSBCH are allocated to N consecutive symbols in the SSB monitoring slot.
