Abstract

Disclosed is a method for a terminal transmitting a sidelink data channel in a wireless communication system. Particularly, the method comprises a step for transmitting a sidelink data channel having a first priority. The sum if resources which can be used for all sidelink data channels having a priority equal to or lower than the first priority is equal to or less than a threshold corresponding to the first priority.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of transmission using a sidelink data channel by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
performing a plurality of transmissions on the sidelink data channel using a plurality of resources,
wherein the plurality of transmissions using the plurality of resources is performed so as to satisfy the condition that:
for each priority level among a plurality of priority levels for the plurality of transmissions:
for transmissions having equal or lower priority than the priority level, a sum of resources utilizations for the transmissions is constrained to be equal to or less than a threshold corresponding to the priority level,
wherein the threshold is related to a maximum limit on resource utilization for transmitting with the priority level on the sidelink data channel.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein satisfying the condition for each priority level among the plurality of priority levels for the plurality of transmissions comprises:
for a first priority level, and for a first plurality of transmissions having equal or lower priority than the first priority level, a first sum of resources utilizations for the first plurality of transmissions is constrained to be equal to or less than a first threshold corresponding to the first priority level, and
for a second priority level having lower priority than the first priority level, and for a second plurality of transmissions having equal to or lower priority than the second priority level, a second sum of resource utilizations for the second plurality of transmissions is constrained to be equal to or less than a second threshold corresponding to the second priority.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein a first amount of resources that can use the first priority level for the sidelink data channel is greater than a second amount of resources that can use the second priority level for the sidelink data channel.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein for a third priority level, and for a third plurality of transmissions having the third priority level, a third sum of resource utilizations for the third plurality of transmissions is equal to or less than a third threshold corresponding to the third priority level,
wherein the third priority level is a lowest priority level among the plurality of priority levels.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
configuring the first threshold, the second threshold, and the third threshold corresponding to the first priority level, the second priority level, and the third priority level, respectively,
wherein the first threshold is related to a first maximum limit on resource utilization for transmitting with the first priority level on the sidelink data channel,
wherein the second threshold is related to a second maximum limit on resource utilization for transmitting with the second priority level on the sidelink data channel, and
wherein the third threshold is related to a third maximum limit on resource utilization for transmitting with the third priority level on the sidelink data channel.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein based on the sum of resource utilizations for the transmissions having equal to or lower priority than the priority level exceeding the threshold, at least one transmission having the priority level is dropped.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the maximum limit on resource utilization for transmitting with the priority level depends on a channel busy ratio (CBR) that is related to a ratio of time that the sidelink data channel satisfies a congestion criterion.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the resource utilization for transmitting with the priority level on the sidelink data channel is related to an aggregate number of sub-channels allocated to the terminal on the sidelink data channel.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein satisfying the condition that, for each priority level among the plurality of priority levels for the plurality of transmissions, and for the transmissions having equal or lower priority than the priority level, the sum of resources utilizations for the transmissions is constrained to be equal to or less than the threshold corresponding to the priority level is represented by the equation:

wherein RU(i) represents a resource utilization for transmissions having a priority level equal to i on the sidelink data channel, and
wherein TRU(k) represents a maximum limit on resource utilization for transmitting with a priority level equal to k on the sidelink data channel.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sidelink data channel is a Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH).

11. A terminal in a wireless communication system, comprising:
a wireless communication module;
at least one processor; and
at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations that comprise:
performing a plurality of transmissions on the sidelink data channel using a plurality of resources,
wherein the plurality of transmissions using the plurality of resources is performed so as to satisfy the condition that:
for each priority level among a plurality of priority levels for the plurality of transmissions:
for transmissions having equal or lower priority than the priority level, a sum of resources utilizations for the transmissions is constrained to be equal to or less than a threshold corresponding to the priority level,
wherein the threshold is related to a maximum limit on resource utilization for transmitting with the priority level on the sidelink data channel.

12. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein satisfying the condition for each priority level among the plurality of priority levels for the plurality of transmissions comprises:
for a first priority level, and for a first plurality of transmissions having equal or lower priority than the first priority level, a first sum of resources utilizations for the first plurality of transmissions is constrained to be equal to or less than a first threshold corresponding to the first priority level, and
for a second priority level having lower priority than the first priority level, and for a second plurality of transmissions having equal to or lower priority than the second priority level, a second sum of resource utilizations for the second plurality of transmissions is constrained to be equal to or less than a second threshold corresponding to the second priority.

13. The terminal of claim 12 , wherein a first amount of resources that can use the first priority level for the sidelink data channel is greater than a second amount of resources that can use the second priority level for the sidelink data channel.

14. The terminal of claim 12 , wherein for a third priority level, and for a third plurality of transmissions having the third priority level, a third sum of resource utilizati
