Abstract

According to various embodiments, disclosed are a method by which a terminal performs sidelink communication in a wireless communication system for supporting a sidelink, and an apparatus therefor. Disclosed are a method by which a first terminal performs sidelink communication in a wireless communication system for supporting a sidelink, and an apparatus therefor, the method comprising the steps of: transmitting a discovery signal in a discovery resource region; receiving a discovery response signal; and performing sidelink communication with a second terminal, wherein the transmission power related to the sidelink communication is determined on the basis of a reference signal received power (RSRP) value measured in the discovery resource region.

Claims (19)

1. A method performed by a first user equipment (UE) for transmitting a first signal for a direct communication between UEs in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting a discovery signal in a discovery resource region;

receiving, from a second UE, a discovery response signal for the discovery signal; and

selecting one resource region from among a plurality of resource regions associated with the discovery resource region; and

transmitting, to the second UE in the one resource region, the first signal,

wherein a nominal power and a scaling factor related to a transmission power of the first signal are determined based on a cyclic prefix (CP) type and a subcarrier spacing (SCS) configured for the one resource region.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of reference signal received power (RSRP) values measured in the discovery resource region is used as an input value to a layer 3-RSRP (L3-RSRP) filter related to power control of the first signal.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the first UE uses an average value of the RSRP values measured in the discovery resource region as an input value to an L3-RSRP filter.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the one resource region is selected from among a plurality of resource regions based on at least one of a distance to the second UE or a minimum communication range requirement.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the nominal power and the scaling factor are determined to be different depending on a CP length determined based on the SCS and the CP type.

6. A first user equipment (UE) configured to transmit a first signal for a direct communication between UEs in a wireless communication system, the first UE comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) transceiver; and

a processor coupled to the RF transceiver,

wherein the processor is configured to execute instructions to perform operations comprising:

transmitting a discovery signal in a discovery resource region,

receiving, from a second UE, a discovery response signal for the discovery signal,

selecting one resource region from among a plurality of resource regions associated with the discovery resource region, and

transmitting, to the second UE in the one resource region, the first signal, and

wherein a nominal power and a scaling factor related to a transmission power of the first signal are determined based on a cyclic prefix (CP) type and a subcarrier spacing (SCS) configured for the one resource region.
