Abstract

A method of operating the first apparatus 100 in a wireless communication system is proposed. The method may include: performing resource selection for at least one period, wherein each of the at least one period includes at least one transmission resource; increasing a value related to a consecutive unused transmission opportunity by 1, based on that transmission is not performed on all transmission resources within a first period included in the at least one period; and triggering resource reselection based on that the value related to a consecutive unused transmission opportunity reaches a threshold value related to a consecutive unused transmission opportunity.

Claims (46)

1. A method for performing, by a first apparatus, wireless communication, the method comprising:

obtaining a threshold value related to a consecutive unused transmission opportunity;

determining a sensing window;

performing resource selection for a plurality of period, based on sensing performed in the sensing window,

wherein each of the plurality of periods includes at least one transmission resource;

increasing a value related to a consecutive unused transmission opportunity by 1, based on none of resources within a first period included in the plurality of periods being used; and

triggering resource reselection based on the value related to a consecutive unused transmission opportunity reaching the threshold value related to a consecutive unused transmission opportunity.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the value related to a consecutive unused transmission opportunity is not increased, based on at least one transmission being performed using at least one transmission resource within a second period included in the plurality of periods.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein none of resources within the first period being used is based on uplink (UL)/sidelink (SL) prioritization.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein none of resources within the first period being used is based on long term evolution (LTE)/new radio (NR) prioritization.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein none of resources within the first period being used is based on congestion control.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein none of resources within the first period being used is based on all transmission resources within the first period being replaced with other resources due to resource reselection.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein sidelink control information (SCI) related to the resource selection includes information related to all transmission resources on which transmission is not performed, within the first period.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting SCI for scheduling of physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) to a second apparatus through physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH), based on a resource selected by the resource selection; and

transmitting a medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) to the second apparatus through the PSSCH, based on the resource selected by the resource selection.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

receiving a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledge (ACK) related to the MAC PDU from the second apparatus,

wherein none of resources within the first period being used is based on the reception of the HARQ ACK.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the HARQ ACK is received a threshold number of times.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the HARQ QCK is continuously received.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the resource selection is performed on a selection window, based on an increased RSRP threshold,

wherein the RSRP threshold is increased based on that a packet delay budget (PDB) related to a MAC PDU to be transmitted expires at the end of the selection window.

13. A first apparatus for performing wireless communication, the first apparatus comprising:

one or more memories storing instructions;

one or more transceivers; and

one or more processors connected to the one or more memories and the one or more transceivers, wherein the one or more processors execute the instructions to:

obtain a threshold value related to a consecutive unused transmission opportunity;

determine a sensing window;

perform resource selection for a plurality of periods, based on sensing performed in the sensing window,

wherein each of the plurality of periods includes at least one transmission resource;

increase a value related to a consecutive unused transmission opportunity by 1, based on none of resources within a first period included in the plurality of periods being used; and

trigger resource reselection based on the value related to a consecutive unused transmission opportunity reaching the threshold value related to a consecutive unused transmission opportunity.

14. The first apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the value related to a consecutive unused transmission opportunity is not increased, based on that transmission is performed based on the transmission resource in the second period included in the plurality of period.

15. The first apparatus of claim 13 , wherein none of resources within the first period being used is based on uplink (UL)/sidelink (SL) prioritization.

16. The first apparatus of claim 13 , wherein none of resources within the first period being used is based on long term evolution (LTE)/new radio (NR) prioritization.

17. The first apparatus of claim 13 , wherein none of resources within the first period being used is based on congestion control.

18. An apparatus configured to control a first user equipment (UE), the apparatus comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more memories operably connectable to the one or more processors and storing instructions, wherein the one or more processors execute the instructions to:

obtain a threshold value related to a consecutive unused transmission opportunity;

determine a sensing window;

perform resource selection for a plurality of periods, based on sensing performed in the sensing window,

wherein each of the plurality of periods includes at least one transmission resource;

increase a value related to a consecutive unused transmission opportunity by 1, based on none of resources within a first period included in the plurality of periods being used; and

trigger resource reselection based on the value related to a consecutive unused transmission opportunity reaching the threshold value related to a consecutive unused transmission opportunity.
