Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system and, particularly, to a method and a wireless device therefor, the method comprising the steps of: receiving, from a first UE, SCI including CO sharing information; receiving, from the first UE, in an RB set, a PSSCH corresponding to the SCI; and attempting SL transmission after the reception of the PSSCH, wherein, if a condition is satisfied, the SL transmission is attempted according to a CAP based on a fixed sensing period.

Claims (37)

1 . A user equipment (UE) configured to operate in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a communication module; and

a processor configured to control the communication module,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive sidelink control information (SCI) comprising channel occupancy (CO) sharing information from a first UE;

receive a first sidelink (SL) transmission including a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) from the first UE within a resource block (RB) set; and

after receiving the first SL transmission, attempt to transmit a second sidelink (SL) transmission including a plurality of SL channels within a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) transmission occasion by using a channel access procedure (CAP),

wherein the CAP is performed without a random backoff when a condition is satisfied, the condition comprising:

the second SL transmission exists within a CO sharing period based on the CO sharing information;

the second SL transmission exists within the RB set; and

any one of the plurality of SL channels in the second SL transmission is to be transmitted to the first UE.

2 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein, when no one of the plurality of SL channels in the second SL transmission is to be transmitted to the first UE, the CAP is performed based on the random backoff.

3 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein, when the condition is satisfied, the CAP is performed based on a gap between the first SL transmission and the second SL transmission in the CO sharing period, as follows:

the CAP is performed based on channel sensing within a fixed sensing period of 25 μs when the gap is at least 25 μs;

the CAP is performed based on channel sensing within a fixed sensing period of 16 μs when the gap is 16 μs; and

the CAP is performed without channel sensing when the gap is less than 16 μs.

4 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the second SL transmission comprises physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH)/PSSCH.

5 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the second SL transmission comprises PSFCH.

6 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein, when the condition is not satisfied, the CAP is performed based on the random backoff.

7 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the wireless communication system comprises a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) new radio (NR)-based wireless communication system.

8 . A method performed by a user equipment (UE) configured to operate in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving sidelink control information (SCI) comprising channel occupancy (CO) sharing information from a first UE;

receiving a first sidelink (SL) transmission including a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) from the first UE within a resource block (RB) set; and

after receiving the first SL transmission, attempting to transmit a second sidelink (SL) transmission including a plurality of SL channels within a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) transmission occasion by using a channel access procedure (CAP),

wherein the CAP is performed without a random backoff when a condition is satisfied, the condition comprising:

the second SL transmission exists within a CO sharing period based on the CO sharing information;

the second SL transmission exists within the RB set; and

any one of the plurality of SL channels in the second SL transmission is to be transmitted to the first UE.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein, when no one of the plurality of SL channels in the second SL transmission is to be transmitted to the first UE, the CAP is performed based on random backoff.

10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein, when the condition is satisfied, the CAP is performed based on a gap between the first SL transmission and the second SL transmission in the CO sharing period, as follows:

the CAP is performed based on channel sensing within a fixed sensing period of 25 μs when the gap is at least 25 μs;

the CAP is performed based on channel sensing within a fixed sensing period of 16 μs when the gap is 16 μs; and

the CAP is performed without channel sensing when the gap is less than 16 μs.

11 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the second SL transmission comprises physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH)/PSSCH.

12 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the second SL transmission comprises PSFCH.

13 . The method of claim 8 , wherein, when the condition is not satisfied, the CAP is performed based on the random backoff.

14 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the wireless communication system comprises a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) new radio (NR)-based wireless communication system.
