Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A method performed by a first terminal is provided, the method comprising: transmitting, to a second terminal, sidelink control information (SCI) includes information field associated with a request of sidelink channel state information (CSI); transmitting, to the second terminal, a sidelink channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) in response to the information field indicating request of the sidelink CSI; receiving, from the second terminal, the sidelink CSI obtained based on the sidelink CSI-RS.

Claims (36)

1 . A method performed by a first terminal in a communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a second terminal via sidelink (SL) radio resource control (RRC) signaling, one or more configurations for an SL channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), wherein the one or more configurations indicate an antenna port configuration for the SL CSI-RS, a symbol position for the SL CSI-RS, and a frequency domain position for the SL CSI-RS,

transmitting, to the second terminal, sidelink control information (SCI) including information associated with a triggering of an SL channel state information (CSI) report, wherein the information has one bit;

transmitting, to the second terminal, the SL CSI-RS in case that the one bit of the information corresponds to a value that indicates the SL CSI report is triggered; and

receiving, from the second terminal, the SL CSI report via a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE), wherein a priority of the MAC CE for the SL CSI report is fixed.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the SL CSI report includes a rank indicator (RI) and channel quality indicator (CQI).

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) for a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) or a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) is used for measuring a reference signal received power (RSRP).

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the SL CSI report triggered by the SCI is received within a time window from the triggering of the SL CSI report,

wherein the SL CSI report triggered by the SCI is not received after the time window from the triggering of the SL CSI report ends, and

wherein the time window is determined based on a number of slots.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the SL CSI-RS is transmitted based on a frequency domain resource used for a physical shared channel (PSSCH) associated with the SCI.

6 . A method performed by a second terminal in a communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a first terminal via sidelink (SL) radio resource control (RRC) signaling, one or more configurations for an SL channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), wherein the one or more configurations indicate an antenna port configuration for the SL CSI-RS, a symbol position for the SL CSI-RS and a frequency domain position for the SL CSI-RS,

receiving, from the first terminal, sidelink control information (SCI) including information associated with a triggering of an SL channel state information (CSI) report, wherein the information has one bit;

receiving, from the first terminal, the SL CSI-RS in case that the one bit of the information corresponds to a value that indicates the SL CSI report is triggered by the information; and

transmitting, to the first terminal, the SL CSI report via a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE), wherein a priority of the MAC CE for the SL CSI report is fixed.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the SL CSI report includes a rank indicator (RI) and channel quality indicator (CQI).

8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) for a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) or a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) is used for measuring a reference signal received power (RSRP).

9 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the SL CSI report triggered by the SCI is received within a time window from the triggering of the SL CSI report,

wherein the SL CSI report triggered by the SCI is not transmitted after the time window from the triggering of the SL CSI report ends, and

wherein the time window is determined based on a number of slots.

10 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the SL CSI-RS is received based on a frequency domain resource used for a physical shared channel (PSSCH) associated with the SCI.

11 . A first terminal in a communication system, the first terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

transmit, to a second terminal via sidelink (SL) radio resource control (RRC) signaling, one or more configurations for an SL channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), wherein the one or more configurations indicate an antenna port configuration for the SL CSI RS, a symbol position for the SL CSI-RS and a frequency domain position for the SL CSI-RS,

transmit, to the second terminal, sidelink control information (SCI) including information associated with a triggering of an SL sidelink channel state information (CSI) report, wherein the information has one bit;

transmit, to the second terminal, the SL CSI-RS in case that the one bit of the information corresponds to a value that indicates the SL CSI report is triggered; and

receive, from the second terminal, the SL CSI via a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE), wherein a priority of the MAC CE for the SL CSI report is fixed.

12 . A second terminal in a communication system, the second terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

receive, from the first terminal via sidelink (SL) radio resource control (RRC) signaling, one or more configurations for an SL channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), wherein the one or more configurations indicate an antenna port configuration for the SL CSI-RS, a symbol position for the SL CSI-RS and a frequency domain position for the SL CSI-RS,

receive, from the first terminal, sidelink control information (SCI) including information associated with a triggering of sidelink an SL channel state information (CSI) report, wherein the information has one bit;

receive, from the first terminal, the SL CSI-RS in case that the one bit of the information corresponds to a value that indicates the SL CSI report is triggered by the information; and

transmit, to the first terminal, the SL CSI report via a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE), wherein a priority of the MAC CE for the SL CSI report is fixed.
