Abstract

According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a method of a user equipment in a wireless communication system comprises: receiving a plurality of configured bandwidth parts (BWPs) defined on the basis of different numerologies; receiving a discovery signal on each of at least two active BWPs among the plurality of BWPs; transmitting information on one active BWP selected from among the at least two active BWPs; and transmitting a sidelink control signal and a sidelink data signal on the selected one active BWP, wherein the at least two active BWPs are activated concurrently in a time domain, and the selected one active BWP is selected on the basis of a length of a cyclic prefix (CP) of the discovery signal and a point in time at which the discovery signal is received.

Claims (37)

1. A method of a first user equipment (UE) configured with a plurality of bandwidth parts (BWPs) related to different numerologies in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving discovery signals in at least two active BWPs among the plurality of BWPs, wherein the at least two active BWPs are activated simultaneously in a time domain;

selecting an active BWP among the at least two active BWPs based on reception times of the discovery signals and lengths of cyclic prefixes (CPs) of the discovery signals;

transmitting information related to the selected active BWP to a second UE; and

transmitting a control signal and a data signal to the second UE in the selected active BWP.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least two active BWPs include a first BWP configured to be used only with a normal CP and a second BWP configured to be used only with an extended CP, and

wherein, based on the reception times of the discovery signals not being included in the length of the normal CP, the selected active BWP is the second BWP.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein based on the reception times of the discovery signals being included in the lengths of both of the normal CP and the extended CP, the selected active BWP is the first BWP.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the selected active BWP is selected UE-specifically.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein information related to the selected active BWP is transmitted in the second BWP.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information related to the selected active BWP is transmitted in a BWP in which a discovery signal having one of a highest received signal strength indication (RSSI) measurement, a highest reference signal received power (RSRP) measurement, and a highest reference signal received quality (RSRQ) measurement has been transmitted, among the at least two active BWPs.

7. An apparatus for a first user equipment (UE) configured with a plurality of bandwidth parts (BWPs) related to different numerologies 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 at least one instruction which causes the at least one processor to perform operations,

wherein the operations include:

receiving a discovery signal in each of at least two active BWPs among the plurality of BWPs, wherein the at least two active BWPs are activated simultaneously in a time domain;

selecting an active BWP among the at least two active BWPs based on reception times of the discovery signals and lengths of cyclic prefixes (CPs) of the discovery signals;

transmitting information related to the selected active BWP to a second UE; and

transmitting a control signal and a sidelink data signal to the second UE in the selected active BWP.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the at least two active BWPs include a first BWP configured to be used only with a normal CP and a second BWP configured to be used only with an extended CP, and

wherein based on the reception times of the discovery signals not being included in the length of the normal CP, the selected active BWP is the second BWP.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein based on the reception times of the discovery signals being included in the lengths of both of the normal CP and the extended CP, the selected active BWP is the first BWP.

10. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the selected active BWP is selected UE-specifically.

11. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein information related to the selected active BWP is transmitted in the second BWP.

12. The apparatus of 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 first user equipment (UE) configured with a plurality of bandwidth parts (BWPs) related to different numerologies in a wireless communication system,

wherein the operations include:

receiving a discovery signal in each of at least two active BWPs among the plurality of BWPs, wherein the at least two active BWPs are activated simultaneously in a time domain;

selecting an active BWP among the at least two active BWPs based on reception times of the discovery signals and lengths of cyclic prefixes (CPs) of the discovery signals;

transmitting information related to the selected active BWP to a second UE; and

transmitting a control signal and a data signal to the second UE in the selected active BWP.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing at least one instruction which, when executed by at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform operations for a first user equipment (UE) configured with a plurality of bandwidth parts (BWPs) related to different numerologies,

wherein the operations include:

receiving a discovery signal in each of at least two active BWPs among the plurality of BWPs, wherein the at least two active BWPs are activated simultaneously in a time domain;

selecting an active BWP among the at least two active BWPs based on reception times of the discovery signals and lengths of cyclic prefixes (CPs) of the discovery signals;

transmitting information related to the selected active BWP to a second UE; and

transmitting a control signal and a data signal to the second UE in the selected active BWP.
