Abstract

The disclosure relates to a communication scheme and a system therefor which combines IoT technology and a 5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate than a 4G system. The disclosure may be applied to a smart service (e.g., a smart home, a smart building, a smart city, a smart car or connected car, healthcare, digital education, retail business, a security and security related service, or the like) based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT related technology. According to an embodiment of the disclosure, there is provided a method of a sidelink reception user equipment (UE) in a communication system. The method includes: receiving, from a base station, configuration information associated with power control for transmission of a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH); receiving a plurality of physical sidelink shared channels (PSSCH) scheduled based on a plurality of sidelink control information (SCI); identifying at least one first PSFCH based on the number of PSFCHs scheduled in response to reception of the plurality of PSSCHs and the maximum number of PSFCHs that the first UE is capable of transmitting; in case that total transmission power for the at least one first PSFCH is greater than maximum transmission power of the first UE, identifying at least one second PSFCH in order of high priority indicated by the plurality of SCI, wherein a number of the at least one second PSFCH is the maximum number of PSFCHs which enables the sum of transmission power to be less than or equal to the maximum transmission power; identifying first transmission power for each of the at least one second PSFCH based on the number of the at least one second PSFCH; and transmitting the at least one second PSFCH based on the first transmission power.
