Abstract

Claims (37)

1. A UE to UE direct communication discontinuous reception (DRX)-related operation method of a second user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

entering, by the second UE, a sleep state;

transitioning, by the second UE, to an awake state; and

receiving a broadcast signal from a first UE during an on duration,

wherein the broadcast signal is received on a dedicated resource pool for UE to UE direct communication broadcast,

wherein a plurality of UEs in a geographical area in which the second UE is located has a plurality of on durations configured per specific services, and

wherein the dedicated resource pool includes a common duration of the plurality of on durations configured per specific services.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the on duration is determined by the BS that receives a broadcast resource request of the first UE.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the broadcast resource request includes one or more of a Message type, a Required coverage, a Required latency, a service characteristic, a geographical area, a Group ID(s), or a triggering indication.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the on duration is indicated by DCI received during on-duration related to a BS by the second UE.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the on duration is determined by the BS based on one or more of latency requirement, delay budget, and Uu DRX on-duration of UEs that receive the broadcast signal.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein on-duration related to the BS is on-duration of Uu DRX.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dedicated resource pool for the UE to UE direct communication broadcast is differently configured for each cell.

8. A second user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operatively connected to the at least one processor and configured to store commands for causing the at least one processor to perform operations when being executed,

wherein the operations includes:

entering a sleep state;

transitioning to an awake state; and

receiving a broadcast signal from a first UE during an on duration,

wherein the broadcast signal is received on a dedicated resource pool for UE to UE direct communication broadcast,

wherein a plurality of UEs in a geographical area in which the second UE is located has a plurality of on durations configured per specific services, and

wherein the dedicated resource pool includes a common duration of the plurality of on durations configured per specific services.

9. A processor for performing operations for a second user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the operations comprising:

entering a sleep state;

transitioning to an awake state; and

receiving a broadcast signal from a first UE during an on duration,

wherein the broadcast signal is received on a dedicated resource pool for UE to UE direct communication broadcast,

wherein a plurality of UEs in a geographical area in which the second UE is located has a plurality of on durations configured per specific services, and

wherein the dedicated resource pool includes a common duration of the plurality of on durations configured per specific services.

10. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium for storing at least one computer program including a command for causing at least one processor to perform operations for a second user equipment (UE) when being executed by the at least one processor, the operations comprising:

entering a sleep state; and

transitioning to an awake state; and

receiving a broadcast signal from a first UE during an on duration,

wherein the broadcast signal is received on a dedicated resource pool for UE to UE direct communication broadcast,

wherein a plurality of UEs in a geographical area in which the second UE is located has a plurality of on durations configured per specific services, and

wherein the dedicated resource pool includes a common duration of the plurality of on durations configured per specific services.
