Abstract

Provided according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is a method for performing sidelink communication by a first device. The method may comprise the steps of: transmitting a PSCCH to a second device on the basis of one sub-channel among M sub-channels associated with a sidelink slot; and transmitting a PSSCH associated with the PSCCH to the second device on the basis of N sub-channels among the M sub-channels.

Claims (37)

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

performing an inter-apparatus physical control channel transmission to a second apparatus, based on one subchannel among M subchannels related to an inter-apparatus communication slot; and

performing an inter-apparatus physical shared channel transmission related to the inter-apparatus physical control channel transmission to the second apparatus, based on N subchannels among the M subchannels,

wherein the M subchannels are adjacent to each other on a frequency axis,

wherein the N subchannels are adjacent to each other on a frequency axis,

wherein the one subchannel is determined as a subchannel with the highest index or a subchannel with the lowest index among the N subchannels, based on information for a modulation and coding scheme,

wherein the N is greater than or equal to 2,

wherein the N is smaller than or equal to the M, and

wherein the M and the N are positive integers.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the inter-apparatus physical control channel transmission is performed based on a pre-configured number of resource blocks (RBs) and a pre-configured resource location within a subchannel through which the inter-apparatus physical shared channel transmission is performed.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one subchannel is determined based on an inter-apparatus physical control channel subchannel index offset related to a subchannel for the inter-apparatus physical control channel transmission, and

wherein the inter-apparatus physical control channel subchannel index offset is determined based on the modulation and coding scheme (MCS) information.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the same beam forming is applied to a resource block related to the inter-apparatus physical control channel transmission and a resource block related to the inter-apparatus physical shared channel transmission.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein an inter-apparatus physical shared channel demodulation reference signal transmission is performed on a resource region that is frequency division multiplexed with the inter-apparatus physical control channel transmission.

6. 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:

perform an inter-apparatus physical control channel transmission to a second apparatus, based on one subchannel among M subchannels related to an inter-apparatus communication slot; and

perform an inter-apparatus physical shared channel transmission related to the inter-apparatus physical control channel transmission to the second apparatus, based on N subchannels among the M subchannels,

wherein the M subchannels are adjacent to each other on a frequency axis,

wherein the N subchannels are adjacent to each other on a frequency axis,

wherein the one subchannel is determined as a subchannel with the highest index or a subchannel with the lowest index among the N subchannels, based on information for a modulation and coding scheme,

wherein the N is greater than or equal to 2,

wherein the N is smaller than or equal to the M, and

wherein the M and the N are positive integers.

7. 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:

perform an inter-UE physical control channel transmission to a second UE, based on one subchannel among M subchannels related to an inter-UE communication slot; and

perform an inter-UE physical shared channel transmission related to the inter-UE physical control channel transmission to the second UE, based on N subchannels among the M subchannels,

wherein the M subchannels are adjacent to each other on a frequency axis,

wherein the N subchannels are adjacent to each other on a frequency axis,

wherein the one subchannel is determined as a subchannel with the highest index or a subchannel with the lowest index among the N subchannels, based on information for a modulation and coding scheme,

wherein the N is greater than or equal to 2,

wherein the N is smaller than or equal to the M, and

wherein the M and the N are positive integers.
