Abstract

The disclosure relates to a pre-5th-generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates beyond 4th-generation (4G) communication system such as long term evolution (LTE). A method for operating a user equipment in a wireless communication system includes determining service information required by a vehicle to everything (V2X) application and determining a V2X transmission mode. The method also includes determining quality of service (QoS) information required by the V2X application and acquiring sidelink radio bearer configuration information corresponding to the QoS information. The method further includes transmitting and receiving a V2X packet of direct communication using the acquired sidelink radio bearer configuration information.

Claims (52)

1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, comprising:

identifying quality of service (QOS) information for a sidelink (SL) application, wherein the QoS information includes a 5QI value and range information indicating a minimum communication range;

transmitting, to a base station (BS), sidelink UE information message including the QoS information;

receiving, from the BS, sidelink radio bearer (SLRB) configuration information;

transmitting the SLRB configuration information via RRC (radio resource control) message, to another UE in order to perform a sidelink communication; and

performing the sidelink communication with the another UE based on the SLRB configuration information,

wherein the SLRB configuration information includes information on a discard timer and information on a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP)-sequence number (SN)-size.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SLRB configuration information is received via a radio resource control (RRC) dedicated message or system information block (SIB).

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the QoS information further includes at least one of information on a maximum end-to-end latency, information on a reliability, or information on a data rate, and

wherein the 5QI value indicates a default priority level, packet delay budget, packet error rate, default maximum data burst volume and default averaging window.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SLRB configuration information further includes at least one of information on a subcarrier spacing or information on a configured SL grant.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SLRB configuration information further includes radio link control (RLC) mode, and

wherein the RLC mode includes at least one of: RLC AM, RLC UM, or sequence number (SN)-field length.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SLRB configuration information further includes information on a logical channel (LCH) priority, information on a prioritized bit rate (PBR) and information on a bucket size duration (BSD).

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

selecting one of unicast, groupcast, or broadcast as a mode for transmitting a service packet required by the SL application.

8. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, comprising:

at least one transceiver; and

at least one processor coupled to the at least one transceiver,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

identify quality of service (QOS) information for a sidelink (SL) application, wherein the QOS information includes a 5QI value and range information indicating a minimum communication range;

transmit, to a base station (BS), sidelink UE information message including the QoS information;

receive, from the BS, sidelink radio bearer (SLRB) configuration information;

transmit the SLRB configuration information via RRC (radio resource control) message, to another UE in order to perform a sidelink communication; and

perform the sidelink communication with the another UE based on the SLRB configuration information,

wherein the SLRB configuration information includes information on a discard timer and information on a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP)-sequence number (SN)-size.

9. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the SLRB configuration information is received via a radio resource control (RRC) dedicated message or system information block (SIB).

10. The UE of claim 8 ,

wherein the QoS information further includes at least one of information on a maximum end-to-end latency, information on a reliability, or information on a data rate, and

wherein the 5QI value indicates a default priority level, packet delay budget, packet error rate, default maximum data burst volume and default averaging window.

11. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the SLRB configuration information further includes at least one of information on a subcarrier spacing or information on a configured SL grant.

12. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the SLRB configuration information further includes radio link control (RLC) mode, and

wherein the RLC mode includes at least one of: RLC AM, RLC UM, or sequence number (SN)-field length.

13. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the SLRB configuration information further includes information on a logical channel (LCH) priority, information on a prioritized bit rate (PBR) and information on a bucket size duration (BSD).

14. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

select one of unicast, groupcast, or broadcast as a mode for transmitting a service packet required by the SL application.

15. A base station (BS) in a wireless communication system comprising:

at least one transceiver; and

at least one processor coupled to the at least one transceiver,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

receive, from a user equipment (UE), sidelink (SL) UE information message including quality of service (QOS) information, wherein the QoS information includes a 5QI value and range information indicating a minimum communication range; and

transmit, to the UE, sidelink radio bearer (SLRB) configuration information, wherein the SLRB configuration information is transmitted via RRC (radio resource control) message, to another UE in order to perform a sidelink communication by the UE,

wherein the SLRB configuration information includes information on a discard timer, and information on a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP)-sequence number (SN)-size.

16. The BS of claim 15 , wherein the SLRB configuration information is received via a radio resource control (RRC) dedicated message or system information block (SIB).

17. The BS of claim 15 ,

wherein the QoS information further includes at least one of information on a maximum end-to-end latency, information on a reliability, or information on a data rate, and

wherein the 5QI value indicates a default priority level, packet delay budget, packet error rate, default maximum data burst volume and default averaging window.

18. The BS of claim 15 , wherein the SLRB configuration information further includes at least one of information on a subcarrier spacing or information on a configured SL grant.

19. The BS of claim 15 , wherein the SLRB configuration information further includes radio link control (RLC) mode, and

wherein the RLC mode includes at least one of: RLC AM, RLC UM or sequence number (SN)-field length.

20. The BS of claim 15 , wherein the SLRB configuration information further includes information on a logical channel (LCH) priority, information on a prioritized bit rate (PBR) and information on a bucket size duration (BSD).
