Abstract

A method by which a first device performs wireless communication, and a device for supporting same are provided. The method comprises the steps of: receiving information associated with a first symbol for transmitting a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS); determining whether the CSI-RS is transmitted on the first symbol on the basis of the information associated with the first symbol and information associated with a second symbol for transmitting a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH); transmitting first sidelink control information (SCI) to a second device on the basis of a resource associated with a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH); and transmitting, to the second device, second SCI including information associated with a channel state information (CSI) request on the basis of the resource associated with the PSSCH.

Claims (42)

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

receiving information related to a first symbol for transmission of a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS);

determining whether to transmit the CSI-RS on the first symbol, based on the information related to the first symbol and information related to a second symbol for transmission of a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH);

transmitting, to a second device, first sidelink control information (SCI) based on a resource related to a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH); and

transmitting, to the second device, second SCI including information related to a channel state information (CSI) request based on a resource related to the PSSCH.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein, based on the first symbol not being included in the second symbol, the first device determines not to transmit the CSI-RS on the first symbol.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the information related to the CSI request is information representing that CSI is not requested, and

wherein the CSI-RS is not transmitted on the first symbol in the resource related to the PSSCH.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein a number of second symbols is different for each slot based on whether a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) resource is configured for a slot.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first symbol and a symbol related to a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) do not overlap in a time domain.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first symbol and a symbol related to the second SCI do not overlap in a time domain.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CSI-RS is not transmitted by being overlapped with a phase tracking-reference signal (PT-RS).

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein, based on the first symbol being included in the second symbol, the first device determines to transmit the CSI-RS on the first symbol, and

wherein a number of second symbols is different for each slot based on whether a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) resource is configured for a slot.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the information related to the CSI request is information representing that CSI is requested, and

wherein the CSI-RS is transmitted on the first symbol in the resource related to the PSSCH.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

receiving, from the second device, the CSI obtained by the second device based on the CSI-RS.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second symbol for transmission of the PSSCH includes symbols other than a symbol for TX-RX switching among sidelink (SL) symbols in a slot.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein, based on a resource related to a PSFCH being configured in the slot, the second symbol for transmission of the PSSCH includes symbols other than a symbol related to the PSFCH among the SL symbols in the slot.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information related to the first symbol for transmission of the CSI-RS is received from the second device.

14. A first device configured to perform wireless communication, the first device 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:

control the one or more transceivers to receive information related to a first symbol for transmission of a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS);

determine whether to transmit the CSI-RS on the first symbol, based on the information related to the first symbol and information related to a second symbol for transmission of a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH);

control the one or more transceivers to transmit, to a second device, first sidelink control information (SCI) based on a resource related to a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH); and

control the one or more transceivers to transmit, to the second device, second SCI including information related to a channel state information (CSI) request based on a resource related to the PSSCH.

15. The first device of claim 14 , wherein, based on the first symbol not being included in the second symbol, the first device determines not to transmit the CSI-RS on the first symbol.

16. The first device of claim 15 , wherein the information related to the CSI request is information representing that CSI is not requested, and

wherein the CSI-RS is not transmitted on the first symbol in the resource related to the PSSCH.

17. The first device of claim 15 , wherein a number of second symbols is different for each slot based on whether a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) resource is configured for a slot.

18. The first device of claim 14 , wherein the first symbol and a symbol related to a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) do not overlap in a time domain.

19. The first device of claim 14 , wherein the first symbol and a symbol related to the second SCI do not overlap in a time domain.

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

one or more processors; and

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

receive information related to a first symbol for transmission of a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS);

determine whether to transmit the CSI-RS on the first symbol, based on the information related to the first symbol and information related to a second symbol for transmission of a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH);

transmit, to a second UE, first sidelink control information (SCI) based on a resource related to a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH); and

transmit, to the second UE, second SCI including information related to a channel state information (CSI) request based on a resource related to the PSSCH.
