Abstract

A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes receiving a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) associated with a sidelink configured grant type 2, identifying whether a number of consecutive out-of-sync indications are received from lower layer, and starting a timer in case that the number of consecutive out-of-sync indications are received, wherein the UE does not use resources of the sidelink configured grant type 2 while the timer is running.

Claims (49)

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

receiving radio resource control (RRC) information associated with a sidelink configured grant type 1;

receiving a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) associated with a sidelink configured grant type 2;

identifying whether a number of consecutive out-of-sync indications are received from lower layers; and

starting a timer in case that the number of consecutive out-of-sync indications are received,

wherein, while the timer is running, the UE uses resources of the sidelink configured grant type 1 without using resources of the sidelink configured grant type 2.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving an RRC reconfiguration message including at least one of an identifier to identify the sidelink configured grant type 2, a number of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes for the sidelink configured grant type 2, a periodicity of the sidelink configured grant type 2, a maximum number of times that a transport block (TB) can be transmitted using resources of the sidelink configured grant type 2, or an offset associated with a HARQ process for the sidelink configured grant Type 2.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PDCCH is addressed to a sidelink-configured scheduling-radio network temporary identifier (SL-CS-RNTI).

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a number of consecutive in-sync indications from lower layers while the timer is running; and

stopping the timer upon the receiving of the number of consecutive in-sync indications,

wherein in case that the timer stops, the UE starts using the resources of the sidelink configured grant type 2.

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

a transceiver; and

a processor operably connected with the transceiver and configured to:

receive, via the transceiver, radio resource control (RRC) information associated with a sidelink configured grant type 1.

receive, via the transceiver, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) associated with a sidelink configured grant type 2,

identify whether a number of consecutive out-of-sync indications are received from lower layers, and

start a timer in case that the number of consecutive out-of-sync indications are received,

wherein, while the timer is running, the UE uses resources of the sidelink configured grant type 1 without using resources of the sidelink configured grant type 2.

6. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive, via the transceiver, an RRC reconfiguration message including at least one of an identifier to identify the sidelink configured grant type 2, a number of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes for the sidelink configured grant type 2, a periodicity of the sidelink configured grant type 2, a maximum number of times that a transport block (TB) can be transmitted using resources of the sidelink configured grant type 2, or an offset associated with a HARQ process for the sidelink configured grant Type 2.

7. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the PDCCH is addressed to a sidelink-configured scheduling-radio network temporary identifier (SL-CS-RNTI).

8. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive a number of consecutive in-sync indications from lower layers while the timer is running; and

stop the timer upon the reception of the number of consecutive in-sync indications,

wherein in case that the timer stops, the UE starts using the resources of the sidelink configured grant type 2.

9. A method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), radio resource control (RRC) information associated with a sidelink configured grant type 1; and

transmitting, to the UE, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) associated with a sidelink configured grant type 2,

wherein in case that a number of consecutive out-of-sync indications are received by the UE from lower layers, a timer starts, and

wherein, while the timer is running, resources of the sidelink configured grant type 1 are used and resources of the sidelink configured grant type 2 are not used by the UE.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the UE, an RRC reconfiguration message including at least one of an identifier to identify the sidelink configured grant type 2, a number of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes for the sidelink configured grant type 2, a periodicity of the sidelink configured grant type 2, a maximum number of times that a transport block (TB) can be transmitted using resources of the sidelink configured grant type 2, or an offset associated with a HARQ process for the sidelink configured grant Type 2.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the PDCCH is addressed to a sidelink-configured scheduling-radio network temporary identifier (SL-CS-RNTI).

12. The method of claim 9 ,

wherein the timer stops, in case that a number of consecutive in-sync indications are received by the UE from lower layers while the timer is running, and

wherein in case that the timer stops, the resources of the sidelink configured grant type 2 are used by the UE.

13. A base station in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor operably connected with the transceiver and configured to:

transmit, to a user equipment (UE), radio resource control (RRC) information associated with a sidelink configured grant type 1, and

transmit, to the UE via the transceiver, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) associated with a sidelink configured grant type 2,

wherein in case that a number of consecutive out-of-sync indications are received by the UE from lower layers, a timer starts, and

wherein, while the timer is running, resources of the sidelink configured grant type 1 are used and resources of the sidelink configured grant type 2 are not used by the UE.

14. The base station of claim 13 , wherein the PDCCH is addressed to a sidelink-configured scheduling-radio network temporary identifier (SL-CS-RNTI).

15. The base station of claim 13 , wherein the transceiver is further configured to:

transmit, to the UE, an RRC reconfiguration message including at least one of an identifier to identify the sidelink configured grant type 2, a number of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes for the sidelink configured grant type 2, a periodicity of the sidelink configured grant type 2, a maximum number of times that a transport block (TB) can be transmitted using resources of the sidelink configured grant type 2, or an offset associated with a HARQ process for the sidelink configured grant Type 2.
