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 (64)

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

transmitting, to a base station (BS), a sidelink UE information message including quality of service (QOS) information for a sidelink (SL) communication;

obtaining sidelink radio bearer (SLRB) configuration information;

transmitting, to a second UE via a radio resource control (RRC) signaling, an SLRB configuration for the SL communication; and

performing the SL communication with the second UE based on the SLRB configuration information,

wherein the QoS information for the SL communication includes a 5G QOS identifier (5QI) value and range information indicating a minimum communication range, and

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 from the BS via an RRC message or a system information message, or is preconfigured to the first UE.

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:
