Abstract

A method of transmitting inter-UE coordination information by a first UE in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes receiving first sidelink control information (SCI) including a request for inter-UE coordination information from a second UE, and transmitting second SCI including the inter-device coordination information to the second UE. In the same resource pool, a first payload size of the first SCI and a second payload size of the second SCI are the same based on based on the first SCI being transmitted on a first Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH) and the second SCI being transmitted on a second PSSCH.

Claims (49)

1. A method of a first User Equipment (UE) for transmitting an Inter-UE coordination information in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a second UE, a first Sidelink Control Information (SCI) including a request for an Inter-UE Coordination information; and

transmitting, to the second UE, a second SCI including the Inter-UE Coordination information,

wherein, based on the first SCI being transmitted on a first Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH) and the second SCI being transmitted on a second PSSCH, in a same resource pool, a first payload size of the first SCI and a second payload size of the second SCI are same.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein, based on appending of padding bits, the first payload size and the second payload size are set to be the same.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the padding bits are appended based on the first payload size or the second payload size.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the padding bits are appended to the first SCI based on the second payload size.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the padding bits are appended to the second SCI based on the first payload size.

6. The method of claim 2 , wherein the padding bits are based on a bit set to zero.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first SCI includes detailed information related to the inter-UE coordination information, and the detailed information includes information related to at least one of i) priority, ii) a resource selection window, iii) a number of subchannels, and iv) a resource type.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the resource type is based on a preferred resource or a non-preferred resource.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein a resource pool related to the request and a resource pool related to the inter-UE coordination information are same.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein a resource pool to which a preferred resource or a non-preferred resource related to the request belongs and a resource pool to which a preferred resource or a non-preferred resource related to the inter-UE coordination information belongs are same.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein a format of the first SCI and a format of the second SCI are same.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first SCI is received based on the first PSSCH scheduled by a first stage SCI related to a first physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH), and the second SCI is transmitted based on the second PSSCH scheduled by a first stage SCI related to a second PSCCH.

13. A first UE transmitting inter-UE coordination information in a wireless communication system, comprising:

one or more transceivers;

one or more processors configured to control the one or more transceivers; and

one or more memories operably connected to the one or more processors,

wherein the one or more memories store instructions for performing operations, based on being executed by the one or more processors, and

the operations comprise:

receiving, from a second UE, a first Sidelink Control Information (SCI) including a request for an Inter-UE Coordination information; and

transmitting, to the second UE, a second SCI including the Inter-UE Coordination information,

wherein, based on the first SCI being transmitted on a first Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH) and the second SCI being transmitted on a second PSSCH, in a same resource pool, a first payload size of the first SCI and a second payload size of the second SCI are same.

14. A device for controlling a first UE to transmit inter-UE coordination information in a wireless communication system, comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more memories operably connected to the one or more processors,

wherein the one or more memories store instructions for performing operations, based on being executed by the one or more processors, and

the operations comprise:

receiving, from a second UE, a first Sidelink Control Information (SCI) including a request for an Inter-UE Coordination information; and

transmitting, to the second UE, a second SCI including the Inter-UE Coordination information,

wherein, based on the first SCI being transmitted on a first Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH) and the second SCI being transmitted on a second PSSCH, in a same resource pool, a first payload size of the first SCI and a second payload size of the second SCI are same.

15. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing one or more instructions,

wherein the one or more instructions perform operations based on being executed by one or more processors, and the operations comprise:

receiving, from a second UE, a first Sidelink Control Information (SCI) including a request for an Inter-UE Coordination information; and

transmitting, to the second UE, a second SCI including the Inter-UE Coordination information,

wherein, based on the first SCI being transmitted on a first Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH) and the second SCI being transmitted on a second PSSCH, in a same resource pool, a first payload size of the first SCI and a second payload size of the second SCI are same.

16. A method of a second User Equipment (UE) for receiving an Inter-UE Coordination information in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a first UE, a first Sidelink Control Information (SCI) including a request for an Inter-UE Coordination information,

receiving, from the first UE, a second SCI including the Inter-UE Coordination information,

wherein, based on the first SCI being transmitted on a first Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH) and the second SCI being transmitted on a second PSSCH, in a same resource pool, a first payload size of the first SCI and a second payload size of the second SCI are same.

17. A second UE receiving inter-UE coordination information in a wireless communication system, comprising:

one or more transceivers;

one or more processors configured to control the one or more transceivers; and

one or more memories operably connected to the one or more processors,

wherein the one or more memories store instructions for performing operations based on being executed by the one or more processors, and the operations comprise:

transmitting, to a first UE, a first Sidelink Control Information (SCI) including a request for an Inter-UE Coordination information; and

receiving, from the first UE, a second SCI including the Inter-UE Coordination information,

wherein, based on the first SCI being transmitted on a first Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH) and the second SCI being transmitted on a second PSSCH, in a same resource pool, a first payload size of the first SCI and a second payload size of the second SCI are same.
