Abstract

The present disclosure relates to: a communication technique that merges IoT technology with a 5G communication system for supporting higher data transmission rates than 4G systems; and a system therefor. The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services (for example, smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, healthcare, digital education, retail business, security and safety-related services, etc.) on the basis of 5G communication technology and IoT-related technology. In addition, the present invention relates to a method and device for a V2X-supporting vehicle terminal to perform discontinuous reception during a process of transmitting and receiving information using another vehicle terminal, a pedestrian mobile terminal, and sidelink.

Claims (61)

1 . A method of a first user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a second UE, inter-UE coordination (IUC) information;

receiving, from the second UE, sidelink control information (SCI) in an active time of discontinuous reception (DRX);

receiving, from the second UE, sidelink data based on the SCI;

starting a first timer based on the SCI;

starting a second timer in response to an expiry of the first timer; and

receiving, from the second UE, a retransmission of the sidelink data while the second timer is running,

wherein the first UE is in the active time of the DRX while the second timer is running,

wherein a value for the first timer is determined based on information indicating a time resource associated with the retransmission of the sidelink data, the information being included in the SCI,

wherein the IUC information is transmitted based on an explicit request from the second UE or a condition other than the explicit request,

wherein, in case that the IUC information is transmitted based on the explicit request from the second UE, the second UE is in the active time of the DRX after a transmission of the explicit request, and

wherein, in case that the IUC information is transmitted based on the condition other than the explicit request, a wake up signal (WUS) is transmitted before the IUC information is transmitted.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a DRX configuration of the first UE or the second UE for groupcast or broadcast is obtained based on a system information block (SIB) received from a base station.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a DRX configuration of the first UE or the second UE for groupcast or broadcast is obtained based on pre-configured information.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a DRX configuration of the first UE or the second UE for unicast is obtained based on a radio resource control (RRC) connection between the first UE and the second UE.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the SCI comprises first SCI received in a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) and second SCI received in a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH), and

wherein the first UE is in the active time of the DRX while a third timer is running, and the third timer starts based on the SCI comprising the first SCI and the second SCI.

6 . A first user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the first UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

transmit, to a second UE, inter-UE coordination (IUC) information,

receive, from the second UE, sidelink control information (SCI) in an active time of discontinuous reception (DRX),

receive, from the second UE, sidelink data based on the SCI,

start a first timer based on the SCI,

start a second timer in response to an expiry of the first timer, and

receive, from the second UE, a retransmission of the sidelink data while the second timer is running,

wherein the first UE is in the active time of the DRX while the second timer is running,

wherein a value for the first timer is determined based on information indicating a time resource associated with the retransmission of the sidelink data, the information being included in the SCI,

wherein the IUC information is transmitted based on an explicit request from the second UE or a condition other than the explicit request,

wherein, in case that the IUC information is transmitted based on the explicit request from the second UE, the second UE is in the active time of the DRX after a transmission of the explicit request, and

wherein, in case that the IUC information is transmitted based on the condition other than the explicit request, a wake up signal (WUS) is transmitted before the IUC information is transmitted.

7 . The first UE of claim 6 , wherein a DRX configuration of the first UE or the second UE for groupcast or broadcast is obtained based on a system information block (SIB) received from a base station.

8 . The first UE of claim 6 , wherein a DRX configuration of the first UE or the second UE for groupcast or broadcast is obtained based on pre-configured information.

9 . The first UE of claim 6 , wherein a DRX configuration of the first UE or the second UE for unicast is obtained based on a radio resource control connection (RRC) between the first UE and the second UE.

10 . The first UE of claim 6 , wherein the SCI comprises first SCI received in a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) and second SCI received in a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH), and

wherein the first UE is in the active time of the DRX while a third timer is running, and the third timer starts based on the SCI comprising the first SCI and the second SCI.

11 . A method of a second user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a first UE, inter-UE coordination (IUC) information,

transmitting, to the first UE, sidelink control information (SCI) in an active time of a discontinuous reception (DRX);

transmitting, to the first UE, sidelink data according to the SCI; and

transmitting, to the first UE, a retransmission of the sidelink data while a second timer of the first UE is running,

wherein the second timer of the first UE starts in response to an expiry of a first timer started based on the SCI,

wherein a value for the first timer is determined based on information indicating a time resource associated with the retransmission of the sidelink data, the information being included in the SCI,

wherein the IUC information is received based on an explicit request from the second UE or a condition other than the explicit request,

wherein, in case that the IUC information is received based on the explicit request from the second UE, the second UE is in the active time of the DRX after a transmission of the explicit request, and

wherein, in case that the IUC information is received based on the condition other than the explicit request, a wake up signal (WUS) is received before the IUC information is received.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein a DRX configuration of the first UE or the second UE for groupcast or broadcast is obtained based on a system information block (SIB) received from a base station.

13 . The method of claim 11 , wherein a DRX configuration of the first UE or the second UE for groupcast or broadcast is obtained based on pre-configured information.

14 . The method of claim 11 , wherein a DRX configuration of the first UE or the second UE for unicast is obtained based on a radio resource control (RRC) connection between the first UE and the second UE.

15 . A second user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the second UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

receive, from a first UE, inter-UE coordination (IUC) information,

transmit, to the first UE, sidelink control information (SCI) in an active time of a discontinuous reception (DRX),

transmit, to the first UE, sidelink data according to the SCI, and

transmit, to the first UE, a retransmission of the sidelink data while a second timer of the first UE is running,

wherein the second timer of the first UE starts in response to an expiry of a first timer started based on the SCI,

wherein a value for the first timer is determined based on information indicating a time resource associated with the retransmission of the sidelink data, the information being included in the SCI,

wherein the IUC information is received based on an explicit request from the second UE or a condition other than the explicit request,
