Abstract

A method of operating a first apparatus 100 is proposed. The method may include, obtaining information related to whether an SL DRX operation of a second apparatus 200 is enabled and a service data unit (SDU); determining that the second apparatus 200 performs an SL DRX operation; determining an SL DRX configuration, based on a quality of service (QoS) requirement.

Claims (42)

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

obtaining information related to at least one sidelink (SL) discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration and a destination ID;

obtaining information related to whether an SL DRX operation of a second apparatus to receive a medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) related to the destination ID is enabled;

determining that the second apparatus performs a first SL DRX operation, based on the information related to whether the SL DRX operation is enabled;

determining an SL DRX configuration among the at least one SL DRX configuration, based on a quality of service (QoS) requirement related to the MAC PDU;

transmitting, to the second apparatus, first sidelink control information (SCI) for scheduling of a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) through a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH), in an active time of the SL DRX configuration; and

transmitting, to the second apparatus, second SCI including the destination ID and the MAC PDU through the PSSCH in the active time of the SL DRX configuration,

wherein the SL DRX configuration includes information related to an SL DRX cycle and information related to a timer related to the active time.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein obtaining the information related to whether an SL DRX operation is enabled and the destination ID includes:

receiving the information related to whether an SL DRX operation is enabled and the destination ID from a higher layer.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the information related to whether an SL DRX operation is enabled and the destination ID are received to an access stratum (AS) layer of the first apparatus.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the higher layer is a vehicle to everything (V2X) layer.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the information related to whether an SL DRX operation is enabled includes a mapping relationship between a logical channel (LCH) related to the destination ID and the enabling of an SL DRX operation of the second apparatus.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

receiving the mapping relationship from a base station through a radio resource control (RRC) message.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the mapping relationship is pre-configured to the first apparatus.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information related to whether an SL DRX operation is enabled is obtained based on the destination ID.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the destination ID is related to a groupcast or a broadcast.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information related to whether an SL DRX operation is enabled includes at least one of a provider service identifier (PSID) or an intelligent transport system-application identifier (ITS-AID).

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MAC PDU is transferred to a higher layer from the second apparatus, based on that the information related to whether an SL DRX operation is enabled.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the higher layer includes at least one of an RLC layer or a PDCP layer.

13. A first apparatus for performing wireless communication, the first apparatus 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 information related to at least one sidelink (SL) discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration and a destination ID;

obtain information related to whether an SL DRX operation of a second apparatus to receive a medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) related to the destination ID;

determine that the second apparatus performs a first SL DRX operation, based on the information related to whether the SL DRX operation is enabled;

determine an SL DRX configuration among the at least one SL DRX configuration, based on a quality of service (QoS) requirement related to the MAC PDU;

transmit, to the second apparatus, first sidelink control information (SCI) for scheduling of a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) through a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH), in an active time of the SL DRX configuration; and

transmitting, to the second apparatus, second SCI including the destination ID and the MAC PDU through the PSSCH in the active time of the SL DRX configuration,

wherein the SL DRX configuration includes information related to an SL DRX cycle and information related to a timer related to the active time.

14. An apparatus configured to control a first user equipment (UE), the apparatus 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:

obtain information related to at least one sidelink (SL) discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration and a destination ID;

obtain information related to whether an SL DRX operation of a second UE to receive a medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) related to the destination ID;

determine that the second UE performs a first SL DRX operation, based on the information related to whether the SL DRX operation is enabled;

determine an SL DRX configuration among the at least one SL DRX configuration, based on a quality of service (QoS) requirement related to the MAC PDU;

transmit, to the second UE, first sidelink control information (SCI) for scheduling of a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) through a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH), in an active time of the SL DRX configuration; and

transmitting, to the second UE, second SCI including the destination ID and the MAC PDU through the PSSCH in the active time of the SL DRX configuration,

wherein the SL DRX configuration includes information related to an SL DRX cycle and information related to a timer related to the active time.
