Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a 5th generation (5G) or pre-5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate than a 4th generation (4G) communication system such as Long-Term Evolution (LTE). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services, such as smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, health care, digital education, retail businesses, security and safety related services, and the like, on the basis of 5G communication technologies and IoT-related technologies. In addition, an operation method of a terminal in a wireless communication system may comprise the steps of: determining service information required by a V2X application and determining a V2X transmission mode; determining QoS information of a service required by the V2X application; obtaining sidelink radio bearer configuration information corresponding to the QoS information; and, using the obtained sidelink radio bearer configuration information, transmitting and receiving V2X packets by means of a device-to-device communication method.

Claims (33)

1. A method performed by a first terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, configuration information including first information on a sidelink hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback set to enabled or disabled for a logical channel;

selecting at least one logical channel among a plurality of logical channels, wherein the at least one logical channel includes sidelink data to transmit and the at least one logical channel is configured with the sidelink HARQ feedback set to enabled based on the first information;

obtaining a medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) including the sidelink data of the selected at least one logical channel;

setting a HARQ feedback indicator to enabled based on the first information;

transmitting, to a second terminal, the MAC PDU and the HARQ feedback indicator set to enabled; and

monitoring feedback information related to the MAC PDU.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information is received via a radio resource control (RRC) message in case that the first terminal is in an RRC connected state.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the RRC message further includes information on a resource pool for the sidelink, and

wherein sidelink data of another logical channel configured with the sidelink HARQ feedback set to disabled is not multiplexed in the MAC PDU.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the feedback information is monitored based on the information on the resource pool.

5. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the base station, a sidelink user equipment (UE) information message to request assignment of a sidelink radio bearer configuration,

wherein the RRC message is received based on the sidelink UE information message.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the sidelink UE information message includes information on a destination identity, information on a cast type, and information on quality of service (QOS) of a sidelink flow.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information is received via system information in case that the first terminal is in an RRC inactive state or an RRC idle state.

8. A first terminal in a wireless communication system, the first terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

control the transceiver to receive, from a base station, configuration information including first information on a sidelink hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback set to enabled or disabled for a logical channel,

select at least one logical channel among a plurality of logical channels, wherein the at least one logical channel includes sidelink data to transmit and the at least one logical channel is configured with the sidelink HARQ feedback set to enabled based on the first information,

obtain a medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) including the sidelink data of the selected at least one logical channel,

set a HARQ feedback indicator to enabled based on the first information,

control the transceiver to transmit, to a second terminal, the MAC PDU and the HARQ feedback indicator set to enabled, and

monitor feedback information related to the MAC PDU.

9. The first terminal of claim 8 , wherein the configuration information is received via a radio resource control (RRC) message in case that the first terminal is in an RRC connected state.

10. The first terminal of claim 9 , wherein the controller is further configured to control the transceiver to transmit, to the base station, a sidelink user equipment (UE) information message to request assignment of a sidelink radio bearer configuration, and

wherein the RRC message is received based on the sidelink UE information message.

11. The first terminal of claim 10 , wherein the sidelink UE information message includes information on a destination identity, information on a cast type, and information on quality of service (QOS) of a sidelink flow.

12. The first terminal of claim 9 , wherein the RRC message further includes information on a resource pool for the sidelink, and

wherein sidelink data of another logical channel configured with the sidelink HARQ feedback set to disabled is not multiplexed in the MAC PDU.

13. The first terminal of claim 12 , wherein the feedback information is monitored based on the information on the resource pool.

14. The first terminal of claim 8 , wherein the configuration information is received via system information in case that the first terminal is in an RRC inactive state or an RRC idle state.
