Abstract

Claims (27)

1 . An electronic device comprising:

circuitry configured to:

perform communications with at least one of a road side unit (RSU), a base station (BS), or another electronic device;

receive, from the BS, a first parameter indicating a resource pool used for performing sidelink communication with the another electronic device;

receive, from the BS, at least one second parameter comprising information identifying one group of a plurality of groups to which the electronic device is assigned;

based on the at least one second parameter, set a communication parameter for performing the sidelink communication corresponding to the one group identified by the at least one second parameter, and

perform the sidelink communication based on the first parameter and the communication parameter.

2 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the communication parameter comprises information indicating a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle of the sidelink communication.

3 . The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the communication parameter comprises an extension parameter indicating an extension of the DRX cycle.

4 . The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the communication parameter comprises a DRX group number.

5 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first parameter comprises identification information indicating a group of electronic devices having common sidelink communication parameters to which the electronic device belongs.

6 . A method performed by an electronic device, the method comprising:

performing communications with at least one of a road side unit (RSU), a base station (BS), or another electronic device;

receiving, from the BS, a first parameter indicating a resource pool used for performing sidelink communication with the another electronic device;

receiving, from the BS, at least one second parameter comprising information identifying one group of a plurality of groups to which the electronic device is assigned;

based on the at least one second parameter, setting a communication parameter for performing the sidelink communication corresponding to the one group identified by the at least one second parameter; and

performing the sidelink communication based on the first parameter and the communication parameter.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the communication parameter comprises information indicating a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle of the sidelink communication.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the communication parameter comprises an extension parameter indicating an extension of the DRX cycle.

9 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the communication parameter comprises a DRX group number.

10 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the first parameter comprises identification information indicating a group of electronic devices having common sidelink communication parameters to which the electronic device belongs.

11 . A non-transitory computer product containing instructions to cause an electronic device to perform a method, the method comprising:

performing communications with at least one of a road side unit (RSU), a base station (BS), or another electronic device;

receiving, from the BS, a first parameter indicating a resource pool used for performing sidelink communication with the another electronic device;

receiving, from the BS, at least one second parameter comprising information identifying one group of a plurality of groups to which the electronic device is assigned;

based on the at least one second parameter setting a communication parameter for performing the sidelink communication corresponding to the one group identified by the at least one second parameter; and

performing the sidelink communication based on the first parameter and the communication parameter.
