Abstract

Provided are a method for performing wireless communication by a first device and a device supporting same. The method may comprise the steps of: configuring information on a first sidelink (SL) priority threshold value associated with a first radio access technology (RAT); configuring information on a second SL priority threshold value associated with a second RAT; configuring information on a third SL priority threshold value; and on the basis that uplink (UL) transmission and SL transmission overlap each other in a time domain, performing prioritization for the UL transmission and the SL transmission. For example, on the basis that RATs of the UL transmission and the SL transmission are different, the prioritization for the UL transmission and the SL transmission may be performed on the basis of the third SL priority threshold value.

Claims (39)

1 . A method, comprising:

obtaining, by a first device, information for a first priority threshold which is used for prioritization between transmissions using a first radio access technology (RAT);

obtaining, by the first device, information for a second priority threshold which is used for prioritization between transmissions using a second RAT;

obtaining, by the first device, information for a third priority threshold which is used for prioritization between transmissions using different RATs; and

performing, by the first device, based on overlapping of uplink transmission and sidelink transmission in a time domain, prioritization between the uplink transmission and the sidelink transmission,

wherein, based on that the different RATs are used for the uplink transmission and the sidelink transmission, the prioritization between the uplink transmission and the sidelink transmission is performed based on the information for the third priority threshold.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the information for the third priority threshold is configured based on a combination of the different RATs.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the information for the first priority threshold, the information for the second priority threshold, or the information for the third priority threshold is received from a base station.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the information for the first priority threshold, the information for the second priority threshold, or the information for the third priority threshold is pre-configured for the first device.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the information for the third priority threshold includes information for a priority threshold for prioritization between first RAT-based uplink transmission and second RAT-based sidelink transmission and information for a priority threshold for prioritization between first RAT-based sidelink transmission and second RAT-based uplink transmission.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the different RATs include the first RAT which is long term evolution (LTE), and the second RAT which is new radio (NR).

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein, based on that a priority value related to second RAT-based sidelink transmission is less than the information for the third priority threshold, a priority of the second RAT-based sidelink transmission is higher than a priority of first RAT-based uplink transmission.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the information for the second priority threshold includes information for an ultra reliable low latency communication (URLLC)-related priority threshold.

14 . A processing device, comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory connected to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, cause a first device to perform operations comprising:

obtaining information for a first priority threshold which is used for prioritization between transmissions using a first radio access technology (RAT);

obtaining information for a second priority threshold which is used for prioritization between transmissions using a second RAT;

15 . The processing device of claim 14 , wherein the information for the third priority threshold is configured based on a combination of the different RATs.

16 . The processing device of claim 14 , wherein at least one of the information for the first priority threshold, the information for the second priority threshold, or the information for the third priority threshold is received from a base station.

17 . The processing device of claim 14 , wherein at least one of the information for the first priority threshold, the information for the second priority threshold, or the information for the third priority threshold is pre-configured for the first device.

18 . The processing device of claim 14 , wherein the information for the third priority threshold includes information for a priority threshold for prioritization between first RAT-based uplink transmission and second RAT-based sidelink transmission and information for a priority threshold for prioritization between first RAT-based sidelink transmission and second RAT-based uplink transmission.
