Abstract

Provided is an operation method of a first device ( 100 ) in a wireless communication system. The method may comprise the steps of: triggering resource selection for sidelink (SL) transmission; determining a selection window for the resource selection; and selecting, as at least one first candidate slot, at least one slot related to at least one first sensing slot.

Claims (41)

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

performing first sensing for at least one first sensing slot;

triggering resource selection for a sidelink (SL) transmission;

determining a selection window for the resource selection; and

determining at least one slot within the selection window as at least one first candidate slot, based on a result of the first sensing.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining at least one second sensing slot, based on the at least one first candidate slot.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the selection window is determined in a resource pool in which a periodic transmission is allowed.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one slot is determined as the at least one first candidate slot, based on the first sensing being period-based partial sensing (PBPS).

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SL transmission is an aperiodic transmission.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining at least one second sensing slot, based on the at least one first candidate slot,

wherein the at least one second sensing slot is included within a contiguous partial sensing (CPS) window.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the CPS window ends in a slot previous to the at least one first candidate slot by time determined based on processing time of the first device.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the CPS window starts at a slot previous to the at least one first candidate slot by a length of CPS window.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

performing partial sensing for at least one second sensing slot related to the at least one first candidate slot.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

determining at least one resource selection candidate resource within the resource selection window, based on a result of the partial sensing; and

selecting at least one transmission resource for the SL transmission, based on the at least one resource selection candidate resource.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

transmitting, to a second device, sidelink control information (SCI) for scheduling of a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) through a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH), based on the at least one transmission resource; and

transmitting, to the second device, a medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) through the PSSCH, based on the at least one transmission resource.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one first candidate slot is selected based on a threshold number related to the at least one first candidate slot.

13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

including at least one slot, within the selection window, other than a slot related to the at least one first sensing slot into the at least one first candidate slot, based on a number of the at least one first candidate slot being less than the threshold number related to the at least one first candidate slot.

14. A first device for performing 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:

perform first sensing for at least one first sensing slot

trigger resource selection for a sidelink (SL) transmission;

determine a selection window for the resource selection; and

determine at least one slot within the selection window as at least one first candidate slot, based on a result of the first sensing.

15. A device adapted to control a first user equipment (UE), the device comprising:

one or more processors; and

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

perform first sensing for at least one first sensing slot

trigger resource selection for a sidelink (SL) transmission;

determine a selection window for the resource selection; and

determine at least one slot within the selection window as at least one first candidate slot, based on a result of the first sensing.
