Abstract

An embodiment provides an operation method of a relay UE related to a sidelink relay in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving, by a relay UE, a relay request from a first remote UE; and determining, by the relay UE, whether to accept the relay request of the first remote UE, wherein the relay request includes first quality of service (QOS)-related information, and the relay UE accepts the relay request on the basis that resource allocation satisfying the first QoS-related information to the first remote UE is possible.

Claims (34)

1 . A method for operating a relay user equipment (UE) related to a sidelink relay in a wireless communication system comprising:

establishing, by the relay UE, a connection with a base station (BS);

receiving, by the relay UE, a request related a sidelink relay from a first remote user equipment (UE); and

establishing, by the relay UE, a connection with the first remote UE;

wherein the request includes information related to a first quality of service (QOS), and

wherein the relay UE accepts the request related to a sidelink relay based on a situation in which resource allocation satisfying the first QOS-related information is applicable to the first remote UE, and adjust QoS of other remote UEs to satisfy only a minimum QoS requirements,

wherein the relay UE requests additional resources to the BS based on the minimum QoS requirements not being satisfied.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein:

the resource allocation is based on a default pool allocated from the BS.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein:

the relay UE rejects the request related to a sidelink relay based on a situation in which the first QoS-related information of the first remote UE not being satisfied.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein:

the relay UE rejects the request related to a sidelink relay based on failure to satisfy information related to a second QoS of a second remote UE in order to satisfy the first QoS-related information of the first remote UE.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein:

the relay UE transmits an additional resource allocation request to the BS based on failure to satisfy information related to a second QoS of a second remote UE in order to satisfy the first QoS-related information of the first remote UE.

6 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein:

the relay UE defers acceptance of the request related to a sidelink relay until additional resources are allocated after occurrence of the additional resource allocation request.

7 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein:

the relay UE accepts the request related to a sidelink relay after occurrence of the additional resource allocation request.

8 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein:

the relay UE is configured to perform dropping of the second remote UE not only based on failure to satisfy information related to a second QoS of a second remote UE in order to satisfy the first QoS-related information of the first remote UE, but also based on a situation in which the first remote UE has a higher priority than the second remote UE.

9 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein:

the first QOS-related information is a PC5 5G QOS Identifier (PQI).

10 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein:

the default pool is allocated for a relay operation regardless of a buffer status report (BSR) of the relay UE.

11 . A relay user equipment (UE) for use 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 instructions such that the at least one processor performs specific operations by executing the instructions,

wherein the specific operations include:

establishing, by the relay UE, a connection with a base station;

receiving a request related to a sidelink relay from a first remote UE; and

establishing, by the relay UE, a connection with the first remote UE;

wherein the request related to a sidelink relay includes first QoS-related information, and the relay UE accepts the request related to a sidelink relay based on a situation in which resource allocation satisfying the first QoS-related information is applicable to the first remote UE, and adjust QoS of other remote UEs to satisfy only minimum QoS requirements,

wherein the relay UE requests additional resources to the BS based on the minimum Qos requirements being not satisfied.
