Abstract

Proposed is a method for operation of a first device ( 100 ) in a wireless communication system. The method may comprise the steps of: determining a sensing window; determining a selection window to be included in an active time of a sidelink (SL) discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration related to an SL DRX operation of a second device ( 200 ); selecting a resource for SL transmission in the selection window on the basis of sensing performed in the sensing window; transmitting, to the second device ( 200 ), sidelink control information (SCI) for scheduling a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) through a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) on the basis of the resource; and transmitting SL data to the second device ( 200 ) through the PSSCH on the basis of the resource.

Claims (33)

1 . A method comprising:

obtaining information related to partial sensing in a sidelink (SL) discontinuous (DRX) inactive time;

determining a sensing window to have a minimum size for partial sensing, based on the information indicating a first device is to perform the partial sensing in the SL DRX inactive time;

performing the partial sensing on the sensing window in a sidelink (SL) discontinuous reception (DRX) inactive time;

selecting a resource for transmitting SL data, from a candidate resource set, based on the partial sensing;

transmitting, to a second device, sidelink control information (SCI) for scheduling a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) through a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH), based on the resource; and

transmitting, to the second device, the SL data through the PSSCH, based on the resource.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a part or all of the sensing window is included within an active time.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein a part not included within the active time of the sensing window is included in the SL DRX inactive time.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a length of the sensing window is determined based on a priority of the SL data.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the sensing window is determined to have a minimum size for partial sensing, based on the information indicating the first device is to perform the partial sensing in the SL DRX inactive time and a quality of service (QoS) requirement related to the SL data being higher than a threshold.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the sensing window is determined to have a minimum size for partial sensing, based on the information indicating the first device is to perform the partial sensing in the SL DRX inactive time and congestion level related to a resource pool being higher than a threshold.

7 . A first device comprising:

one or more processors;

one or more transceivers; and

one or more memories connected to the one or more processors and storing instructions,

wherein the instructions, based on being executed by the one or more processors, cause to first device to:

obtain information related to partial sensing in a sidelink (SL) discontinuous (DRX) inactive time;

determine a sensing window to have a minimum size for partial sensing, based on the information indicating a first device is to perform the partial sensing in the SL DRX inactive time;

perform the partial sensing on the sensing window in a sidelink (SL) discontinuous reception (DRX) inactive time:

select a resource for transmitting SL data, from a candidate resource set, based on the partial sensing;

transmit, to a second device, sidelink control information (SCI) for scheduling a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) through a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH), based on the resource; and

transmit, to the second device, the SL data through the PSSCH, based on the resource.

8 . A processing device adapted to control a first device, the processing device comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more memories connected to the one or more processors and storing instructions,

wherein the instructions, based on being executed by the one or more processors, cause the first device to:

obtain information related to partial sensing in a sidelink (SL) discontinuous (DRX) inactive time:

determine a sensing window to have a minimum size for partial sensing, based on the information indicating a first device is to perform the partial sensing in the SL DRX inactive time;

perform the partial sensing on the sensing window in a sidelink (SL) discontinuous reception (DRX) inactive time;

select a resource for transmitting SL data, from a candidate resource set, based on the partial sensing;

transmit, to a second device, sidelink control information (SCI) for scheduling a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) through a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH), based on the resource; and

transmit, to the second device, the SL data through the PSSCH, based on the resource.
