Abstract

Provided is a method for a user device in a wireless communication system according to an aspect of the present disclosure in which: allocation information relating to a plurality of bandwidth parts (BWPs) is received, wherein the plurality of BWPs comprise a first BWP and a plurality of second BWPs comprised in the first BWP; a sidelink signal is transmitted on the first BWP on the basis of the activation of the first BWP; and the sidelink signal is transmitted on at least one second BWP on the basis of the activation of the at least one second BWP among the plurality of second BWPs. The allocation information comprises: the start point of the first BWP and the plurality of second BWPs; the size of the first BWP and the plurality of second BWPs; and the gap among the plurality of second BWPs. Each of the plurality of second BWPs is allocated within the first BWP from the start point in the gap unit on a frequency domain.

Claims (50)

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

receiving allocation information about bandwidth parts (BWPs), the BWPs including a first BWP and second BWPs included in the first BWP;

based on the first BWP being activated, transmitting a signal in the first BWP; and

based on at least one of the second BWPs being activated, transmitting the signal in the at least one second BWP,

wherein the allocation information includes start points of the first BWP and the second BWPs, sizes of the first BWP and the second BWPs, and a frequency gap between the second BWPs, and

wherein the second BWPs are allocated in a frequency domain within the first BWP such that an interval between the starting points of the second BWPs comprises a size of a second BWP and the frequency gap.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving information about a resource pool for transmission of the signal, wherein the resource pool is repeated periodically in a time domain.

3. The method according to claim 2 ,

wherein based on the first BWP being activated, a frequency-domain size of the resource pool is equal to a frequency-domain size of the first BWP, and

wherein based on the second BWP being activated, a frequency-domain size of the resource pool is equal to a frequency-domain size of the second BWP.

4. The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first BWP includes a first sub-channel group, and each of the second BWPs includes a second sub-channel group, and

wherein each of the first sub-channel group and the second sub-channel group includes a plurality of sub-channels.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the allocation information includes the number of sub-channels included in the first sub-channel group, and the number of sub-channels included in the second sub-channel group.

6. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the number of sub-channels included in the first sub-channel group is equal to the number of sub-channels included in the second sub-channel group.

7. An apparatus for a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory operably coupled to the at least one processor and storing instructions which cause the at least one processor to perform operations,

wherein the operations include:

receiving allocation information about bandwidth parts (BWPs), the BWPs including a first BWP and a second BWPs included in the first BWP;

based on the first BWP being activated, transmitting a signal in the first BWP; and

based on at least one of the second BWPs being activated, transmitting the signal in the at least one second BWP,

wherein the allocation information includes start points of the first BWP and the second BWPs, sizes of the first BWP and the second BWPs, and a frequency gap between the plurality of second BWPs, and

wherein the second BWPs are allocated in a frequency domain within the first BWP such that an interval between the starting points of the second BWPs comprises a size of a second BWP and the frequency gap.

8. The apparatus according to claim 7 ,

wherein the operations further include receiving information about a resource pool for transmission of the sidelink signal, and

wherein the resource pool is repeated periodically in a time domain.

9. The apparatus according to claim 8 ,

wherein based on the first BWP being activated, a frequency-domain size of the resource pool is equal to a frequency-domain size of the first BWP, and

wherein based on the second BWP being activated, a frequency-domain size of the resource pool is equal to a frequency-domain size of the second BWP.

10. The apparatus according to claim 7 ,

wherein the first BWP includes a first sub-channel group, and each of the second BWPs includes a second sub-channel group, and

wherein each of the first sub-channel group and the second sub-channel group includes a plurality of sub-channels.

11. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the allocation information includes the number of sub-channels included in the first sub-channel group, and the number of sub-channels included in the second sub-channel group.

12. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the UE is an autonomous driving vehicle or is included in an autonomous driving vehicle.

13. A processor for performing operations for a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system,

wherein the operations include:

receiving allocation information about bandwidth parts (BWPs), the BWPs including a first BWP and a second BWPs included in the first BWP;

based on the first BWP being activated, transmitting a signal in the first BWP; and

based on at least one of the second BWPs being activated, transmitting the signal in the at least one second BWP,

wherein the allocation information includes start points of the first BWP and the second BWPs, sizes of the first BWP and the second BWPs, and a frequency gap between the second BWPs, and

wherein the second BWPs are allocated in a frequency domain within the first BWP such that an interval between the starting points of the second BWPs comprises a size of a second BWP and the frequency gap.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing at least one computer program including at least one instruction which, when executed by at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform operations for a user equipment (UE),

wherein the operations include:

receiving allocation information about bandwidth parts (BWPs), the BWPs including a first BWP and a second BWPs included in the first BWP;

based on the first BWP being activated, transmitting a signal in the first BWP; and

based on at least one of the second BWPs being activated, transmitting the signal in the at least one second BWP,

wherein the allocation information includes start points of the first BWP and the second BWPs, sizes of the first BWP and the second BWPs, and a frequency gap between the second BWPs, and

wherein the second BWPs are allocated in a frequency domain within the first BWP such that an interval between the starting points of the second BWPs comprises a size of a second BWP and the frequency gap.
