Abstract

Claims (50)

1. A method performed by a wireless device in a wireless communication system, the method comprising,

configuring a logical channel for device-to-device direct transmission and/or uplink transmission;

setting a priority level of the logical channel to a first priority level mapped to a first priority value;

performing the device-to-device direct transmission and/or the uplink transmission for the logical channel with the set priority level;

detecting that a Quality of Service requirement of the logical channel is not met;

lowering the priority level of the logical channel to a second priority level mapped to a second priority value, wherein the second priority value is greater than the first priority value; and

performing the device-to-device direct transmission and/or the uplink transmission for the logical channel with the second priority level.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the Quality of Service requirement includes a communication range corresponding to distance between the wireless device and another wireless device for the device-to-device direct transmission.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the method further comprises,

receiving, from the other wireless device, information on location of the other wireless device.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the Quality of Service requirement includes a delay for the uplink transmission and/or the device-to-device direct transmission.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the method further comprises,

receiving information on the delay for the uplink transmission and/or the device-to-device direct transmission from a network and/or another wireless device.

6. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the first priority value is configured via dedicated signaling, system information, and/or pre-configuration by a network.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second priority value is mapped to a lowest priority level.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises,

configuring a first logical channel for device-to-device direct transmission and a second logical channel for uplink transmission;

detecting that the uplink transmission and the device-to-device direct transmission cannot be performed simultaneously; and

selecting one of the uplink transmission or the device-to-device direct transmission to perform based on a priority level of the first logical channel and a priority level of the second logical channel.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises,

constructing a Medium Access Control Protocol Data Unit (MAC PDU) from at least one of a MAC Service Data Unit (SDU) for the logical channel based on the second priority level.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the method further comprises,

transmitting the constructed MAC PDU via the device-to-device direct transmission and/or the uplink transmission.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the wireless device is in communication with at least one of a user equipment, a network, or an autonomous vehicle other than the wireless device.

12. A wireless device in a wireless communication system comprising:

a transceiver;

a memory; and

at least one processor operatively coupled to the transceiver and the memory, and configured to:

configure a logical channel for device-to-device direct transmission and/or uplink transmission;

set a priority level of the logical channel to a first priority level mapped to a first priority value;

control the transceiver to perform the device-to-device direct transmission and/or the uplink transmission for the logical channel with the set priority level;

detect that a Quality of Service (QOS) requirement of the logical channel is not met;

lower the priority level of the logical channel to a second priority level mapped to a second priority value, wherein the second priority value is greater than the first priority value; and

control the transceiver to perform the device-to-device direct transmission and/or the uplink transmission for the logical channel with the de prioritized second priority level.

13. The wireless device of claim 12 , wherein the Quality of Service requirement includes a communication range corresponding to distance between the wireless device and another wireless device for the device-to-device direct transmission.

14. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to,

control the transceiver to receive, from the other wireless device, information on location of the other wireless device.

15. The wireless device of claim 12 , wherein the Quality of Service requirement includes a delay for the uplink transmission and/or the device-to-device direct transmission.

16. The wireless device of claim 15 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to,

control the transceiver to receive information on the delay for the uplink transmission and/or the device-to-device direct transmission from a network and/or another wireless device.

17. The wireless device of claim 12 ,

wherein the first priority value is configured via dedicated signaling, system information, and/or pre-configuration by a network.

18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of instructions, which, when executed by a processor of a wireless device, cause the wireless device to:

configure a logical channel for device-to-device direct transmission and/or uplink transmission;

set a priority level of the logical channel to a first priority level mapped to a first priority value;

perform the device-to-device direct transmission and/or the uplink transmission for the logical channel with the set priority level;

detect that a Quality of Service requirement of the logical channel is not met;

lower the priority level of the logical channel to a second priority level mapped to a second priority value, wherein the second priority value is greater than the first priority value; and

perform the device-to-device direct transmission and/or the uplink transmission for the logical channel with the second priority level.
