User equipment and wireless communication method for power control of sidelink channel transmission
View Patent ↗Provided are user equipment and wireless communication methods related to power control of sidelink transmissions and any other sidelink operation in NR V2X. The user equipment, comprising: a receiver, operative to receive indication information of power determination basis for sidelink transmission, the indication information indicating a set of downlink reference signal(s) for determining pathloss used for power control of a sidelink channel to be transmitted by the user equipment or that the pathloss for power control of the sidelink channel is determined based on sidelink reference signal(s); and a circuitry, operative to determine the pathloss used for power control of the sidelink channel based on the indication information.
1. A user equipment, comprising:
a receiver, which, in operation, receives indication information of power control for a transmission of a sidelink channel, the indication information indicating that (i) in a first case, a sidelink reference signal is used for a determination of pathloss used for the power control of the sidelink channel, and (ii) in a second case, a downlink reference signal is used for the determination of the pathloss; and
circuitry, which, in operation, determines the pathloss based on the sidelink reference signal in the first case, and determines the pathloss based on a single downlink reference signal determined from a plurality of downlink reference signals in the second case, the plurality of downlink reference signals associated with a plurality of beams,
wherein a parameter P0 and a parameter alpha, which are used for the power control of the sidelink channel, are common between the plurality of beams.
2. The user equipment according to claim 1 , wherein
the indication information is transmitted through Downlink Control Information (DCI), Radio Resource Control (RRC) information, Medium Access Control (MAC) information or any combination of them.
3. The user equipment according to claim 1 , wherein
the plurality of downlink reference signals comprise a Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS) and/or a Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS).
4. The user equipment according to claim 3 , wherein
the Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS) and/or the Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS) in the plurality of downlink reference signals are from one or more downlink beams.
5. The user equipment according to claim 1 , wherein
the indication information indicates the power control for a Physical Sidelink Feedback Channel (PSFCH) separately from the power control for a Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH).
6. The user equipment according to claim 1 , wherein
a power of a Physical Sidelink Control Channel (PSCCH) is determined based on a power of a Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH).
7. The user equipment according to claim 1 , wherein
the parameters P0 and alpha are different between the first case and the second case.
8. A communication method, comprising:
receiving indication information of power control for a transmission of a sidelink channel, the indication information indicating that (i) in a first case, a sidelink reference signal is used for a determination of pathloss used for the power control of the sidelink channel, and (ii) in a second case, a downlink reference signal is used for the determination of the pathloss; and
determining the pathloss based on the sidelink reference signal in the first case, and determining the pathloss based on a single downlink reference signal determined from a plurality of downlink reference signals in the second case, the plurality of downlink reference signals associated with a plurality of beams,
wherein a parameter P0 and a parameter alpha, which are used for the power control of the sidelink channel, are common between the plurality of beams.
9. The communication method according to claim 8 , wherein
the indication information is transmitted through Downlink Control Information (DCI), Radio Resource Control (RRC) information, Medium Access Control (MAC) information or any combination of them.
10. The communication method according to claim 8 , wherein
the plurality of downlink reference signals comprise a Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS) and/or a Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS).
11. The communication method according to claim 10 , wherein
the Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS) and/or the Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS) in the plurality of downlink reference signals are from one or more downlink beams.
12. The communication method according to claim 8 , wherein
the indication information indicates the power control for a Physical Sidelink Feedback Channel (PSFCH) separately from the power control for a Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH).
13. The communication method according to claim 8 , wherein
a power of a Physical Sidelink Control Channel (PSCCH) is determined based on a power of a Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH).
14. The communication method according to claim 8 , wherein
the parameters of P0 and alpha are different between the first case and the second case.
