Abstract

An embodiment provides an operation method of a sidelink reception terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising the steps of: receiving a first physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) and a second PSSCH by a sidelink reception terminal; and transmitting feedbacks for the first PSSCH and the second PSSCH through a first physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) resource and a second PSFCH resource, respectively, by the sidelink reception terminal, wherein the first PSSCH and the second PSSCH are received in different slots, and a first PSFCH related to the first PSSCH and a second PSFCH related to the second PSSCH are transmitted through different frequency resources within an identical time resource area.

Claims (32)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a User Equipment (UE) from another UE, a data through a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH); and

transmitting, by the UE to the another UE, a Hybrid Automatic Repeat and request (HARQ)-ACK information through a Physical Sidelink Feedback Channel (PSFCH) in response to receiving the data through the PSSCH,

wherein a first resource pool related to the PSSCH includes PSSCH slot-subchannel based units, and a second resource pool related to the PSFCH includes PSFCH slot-PRB based units,

wherein the PSSCH slot-subchannel based units are associated with the PSFCH slot-PRB based units,

wherein the PSFCH slot-PRB based units are sequentially mapped to the PSSCH slot-subchannel based units from smallest index of the PSFCH slot-PRB based units in frequency domain, and

wherein the PSFCH slot-PRB based units are mapped to the PSSCH slot-subchannel based units, the mapping starts in ascending order of a smallest slot index of the PSSCH slot-subchannel based units and continues in ascending order of smallest subchannel index of the PSSCH slot-subchannel based units.

2. A user equipment (UE) comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operatively connected to the at least one processor and configured to store instructions that when executed causes the at least one processor to perform operations,

wherein the operations include:

receiving a data through a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH); and

transmitting a Hybrid Automatic Repeat and request (HARQ)-ACK information through a Physical Sidelink Feedback Channel (PSFCH) in response to receiving the data through the PSSCH,

wherein a first resource pool related to the PSSCH includes PSSCH slot-subchannel based units, and a second resource pool related to the PSFCH includes PSFCH slot-PRB based units,

wherein the PSSCH slot-subchannel based units are associated with the PSFCH slot-PRB based units,

wherein the PSFCH slot-PRB based units are sequentially mapped to the PSSCH slot-subchannel based units from smallest index of the PSFCH slot-PRB based units in frequency domain, and

wherein the PSFCH slot-PRB based units are mapped to the PSSCH slot-subchannel based units, the mapping starts in ascending order of a smallest slot index of the PSSCH slot-subchannel based units and continues in ascending order of smallest subchannel index of the PSSCH slot-subchannel based units.

3. The UE of claim 2 , wherein the UE communicates with at least one of a UE related to an autonomous vehicle, a BS, or a network.

4. A processor for performing operations for a user equipment (UE), the operations comprising:

receiving a data through a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH); and

transmitting a Hybrid Automatic Repeat and request (HARQ)-ACK information through a Physical Sidelink Feedback Channel (PSFCH) in response to receiving the data through the PSSCH,

wherein a first resource pool related to the PSSCH includes PSSCH slot-subchannel based units, and a second resource pool related to the PSFCH includes PSFCH slot-PRB based units,

wherein the PSSCH slot-subchannel based units are associated with the PSFCH slot-PRB based units,

wherein the PSFCH slot-PRB based units are sequentially mapped to the PSSCH slot-subchannel based units from smallest index of the PSFCH slot-PRB based units in frequency domain, and

wherein the PSFCH slot-PRB based units are mapped to the PSSCH slot-subchannel based units, the mapping starts in ascending order of a smallest slot index of the PSSCH slot-subchannel based units and continues in ascending order of smallest subchannel index of the PSSCH slot-subchannel based units.

5. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium configured to store at least one computer program comprising instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations for a user equipment (UE), the operations comprising:

receiving a data through a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH); and

transmitting a Hybrid Automatic Repeat and request (HARQ)-ACK information through a Physical Sidelink Feedback Channel (PSFCH) in response to receiving the data through the PSSCH,

wherein a first resource pool related to the PSSCH includes PSSCH slot-subchannel based units, and a second resource pool related to the PSFCH includes PSFCH slot-PRB based units,

wherein the PSSCH slot-subchannel based units are associated with the PSFCH slot-PRB based units,

wherein the PSFCH slot-PRB based units are sequentially mapped to the PSSCH slot-subchannel based units from smallest index of the PSFCH slot-PRB based units in frequency domain, and

wherein the PSFCH slot-PRB based units are mapped to the PSSCH slot-subchannel based units, the mapping starts in ascending order of a smallest slot index of the PSSCH slot-subchannel based units and continues in ascending order of smallest subchannel index of the PSSCH slot-subchannel based units.
