Abstract

Proposed are a method by which a first device performs wireless communication, and an apparatus supporting same. For example, the first device may obtain a sidelink discontinuous reception configuration including information related to an SL DRX timer. For example, the first device may obtain information related to a scheduling request configuration for a SL channel state information reporting medium access control control element (CE). For example, the first device may determine the SR configuration for the SL CSI reporting MAC CE as an SR configuration for an SL DRX command MAC CE. For example, the first device may transmit, to the base station, an SR for requesting a resource for the SL DRX command MAC CE, based on the SR configuration for the SL CSI reporting MAC CE. For example, the first device may transmit, to the second device, the SL DRX command MAC CE, based on the resource.

Claims (60)

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

obtaining a sidelink (SL) discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration including information related to an SL DRX timer,

wherein the SL DRX timer is at least one of an SL DRX onduration timer or an SL DRX inactivity timer;

obtaining information related to a scheduling request (SR) configuration for a SL channel state information (CSI) reporting medium access control (MAC) control element (CE);

transmitting, to the base station, an SR for requesting a resource for a SL DRX command MAC CE, based on the SR configuration for the SL CSI reporting MAC CE,

wherein the SR configuration for the SL CSI reporting MAC CE is considered as an SR configuration for the SL SRX command MAC CE; and

transmitting, to the second device, the SL DRX command MAC CE, based on the resource,

wherein the SL DRX command MAC CE is information for stopping at least one of the SL DRX onduration timer or the SL DRX inactivity timer.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the second device, first sidelink control information (SCI) for scheduling of a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) and second SCI through a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH); and

based on the resource related to the PSSCH, receiving, from the second device, the second SCI and CSI reference signal (RS) including information related to an SL CSI request.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

triggering SL CSI reporting, based on the second SCI.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising: based on the triggering the SL CSI reporting, generating the SL CSI reporting MAC CE.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein reporting related to the SL DRX command MAC CE is mapped with the SR configuration for the SL CSI reporting MAC CE.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

triggering a procedure related to the SL DRX command MAC CE;

wherein based on the triggering the procedure related to the SL DRX command MAC CE and the resource, the SL DRX command MAC CE is transmitted to the second device.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving information related to uplink (UL) resources from the base station;

wherein the UL resource includes a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource, the SR is transmitted to the base station through PUCCH based on the PUCCH resource, and the PUCCH resource is configured for each UL bandwidth part (BWP) for a procedure related to the SL DRX command MAC CE.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

based on the SR, receiving, from the base station, information related to the resource for the SL DRX command MAC CE.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SL DRX configuration includes information related to an active time of the second device, and at least one of a time when the SL DRX on-duration timer is running or a time when the SL DRX inactivity timer is running is included in the active time of the second device.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SL DRX command MAC CE includes a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback enabled SL DRX command MAC CE.

11. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

receiving HARQ feedback information related to the SL DRX command MAC CE; and

based on the HARQ feedback information being received, transmitting positive-ACK information to the base station.

12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

canceling an SL buffer state report (BSR) procedure, based on the SL DRX command MAC CE being transmitted.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein based on the priority of the SL DRX command MAC CE being higher than the priority of the SL CSI reporting MAC CE, the SR for requesting the resource for the SL DRX command MAC CE is transmitted to the base station; and SR for requesting resources for the SL CSI reporting MAC CE is not transmitted.

14. A first device adapted 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:

obtain a sidelink (SL) discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration including information related to an SL DRX timer,

wherein the SL DRX timer is at least one of an SL DRX onduration timer or an SL DRX inactivity timer;

obtain information related to a scheduling request (SR) configuration for a SL channel state information (CSI) reporting medium access control (MAC) control element (CE);

transmit, to the base station, an SR for requesting a resource for a SL DRX command MAC CE, based on the SR configuration for the SL CSI reporting MAC CE,

wherein the SR configuration for the SL CSI reporting MAC CE is considered as an SR configuration for the SL DRX command MAC CE; and

transmit, to the second device, the SL DRX command MAC CE, based on the resource,

wherein the SL DRX command MAC CE is information for stopping at least one of the SL DRX onduration timer or the SL DRX inactivity timer.

15. An apparatus adapted to control a first user equipment (UE), 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:

obtain a sidelink (SL) discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration including information related to an SL DRX timer,

wherein the SL DRX timer is at least one of an SL DRX onduration timer or an SL DRX inactivity timer;

obtain information related to a scheduling request (SR) configuration for a SL channel state information (CSI) reporting medium access control (MAC) control element (CE);

transmit, to the base station, an SR for requesting a resource for a SL DRX command MAC CE, based on the SR configuration for the SL CSI reporting MAC CE,

wherein the SR configuration for the SL CSI reporting MAC CE is considered as an SR configuration for the SL DRX command MAC CE; and

transmit, to the second UE, the SL DRX command MAC CE, based on the resource,

wherein the SL DRX command MAC CE is information for stopping at least one of the SL DRX onduration timer or the SL DRX inactivity timer.

16. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the one or more processors execute the instructions to: receive, from the second UE, first sidelink control information (SCI) for scheduling of a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) and second SCI through a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH); and

based on the resource related to the PSSCH, receive, from the second UE, the second SCI and CSI reference signal (RS) including information related to an SL CSI request.

17. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the one or more processors execute the instructions to: trigger SL CSI reporting, based on the second SCI.

18. The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the one or more processors execute the instructions to: based on the triggering the SL CSI reporting, generate the SL CSI reporting MAC CE.

19. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein reporting related to the SL DRX command MAC CE is mapped with the SR configuration for the SL CSI reporting MAC CE.

20. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the one or more processors execute the instructions to:

trigger a procedure related to the SL DRX command MAC CE, and
