Abstract

Disclosed is a method for transmitting, by a terminal supporting a sidelink, a sidelink synchronization signal block (S-SSB) in a wireless communication system. Specifically, the present disclosure comprises transmitting, from a specific slot, an S-SSB including a primary sidelink synchronization signal (PSSS), a secondary sidelink synchronization signal (SSSS), and a physical sidelink broadcast channel (PSBCH), wherein the PSBCH is mapped to first orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols included in the specific slot, and the first OFDM symbols are located after second OFDM symbols for the SSSS.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of transmitting a sidelink signal by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
mapping, in a sidelink synchronization signal block (S-SSB), a primary sidelink synchronization signal (PSSS), a secondary sidelink synchronization signal (SSSS), and a physical sidelink broadcast channel (PSBCH); and
transmitting the S-SSB in a slot including a plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols,
wherein OFDM symbols with indices 1 and 2 in the slot are OFDM symbols for the PSSS,
wherein OFDM symbols with indices 3 and 4 in the slot are OFDM symbols for the SSSS, and
wherein OFDM symbols with indices ranging from an index 5 to a second-to-last OFDM symbol immediately preceding a last OFDM symbol in the slot are OFDM symbols for the PSBCH.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein an OFDM symbol with an index 0 is a start OFDM symbol in the slot.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the OFDM symbols for the PSSS and the OFDM symbols for the SSSS are four consecutive OFDM symbols.

4. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein the PSSS of the S-SSB is mapped only in the two OFDM symbols with indices 1 and 2 , and
wherein the SSSS of the S-SSB is mapped only in the two OFDM symbols with indices 3 and 4 .

5. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) for the PSBCH is mapped to the OFDM symbols for the PSBCH.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein a normal cyclic prefix (CP) is configured in the slot, and
wherein the last OFDM symbol has an index 13 , and the second-to-last OFDM symbol has an index 12 .

7. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein the PSSS, the SSSS, and the PSBCH are not mapped to the last OFDM symbol of the slot.

8. An apparatus configured to transmit a sidelink signal in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:
mapping, in a sidelink synchronization signal block (S-SSB), a primary sidelink synchronization signal (PSSS), a secondary sidelink synchronization signal (SSSS), and a physical sidelink broadcast channel (PSBCH); and
transmitting the S-SSB in a slot including a plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols,
wherein OFDM symbols with indices 1 and 2 in the slot are OFDM symbols for the PSSS,
wherein OFDM symbols with indices 3 and 4 in the slot are OFDM symbols for the SSSS, and
wherein OFDM symbols with indices ranging from an index 5 to a second-to-last OFDM symbol immediately preceding a last OFDM symbol in the slot are OFDM symbols for the PSBCH.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein an OFDM symbol with an index 0 is a start OFDM symbol in the slot.

10. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the OFDM symbols for the PSSS and the OFDM symbols for the SSSS are four consecutive OFDM symbols.

11. The apparatus of claim 8 ,
wherein the PSSS of the S-SSB is mapped only in the two OFDM symbols with indices 1 and 2 , and
wherein the SSSS of the S-SSB is mapped only in the two OFDM symbols with indices 3 and 4 .

12. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein a normal cyclic prefix (CP) is configured in the slot, and
wherein the last OFDM symbol has an index 13 , and the second-to-last OFDM symbol has an index 12 .

13. The apparatus of claim 8 ,
wherein the PSSS, the SSSS, and the PSBCH are not mapped to the last OFDM symbol of the slot.

14. The apparatus of claim 8 ,
wherein a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) for the PSBCH is mapped to the OFDM symbols for the PSBCH.

15. A user equipment (UE) configured to operate in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
at least one transceiver;
at least one processor; and
at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:
mapping, in a sidelink synchronization signal block (S-SSB), a primary sidelink synchronization signal (PSSS), a secondary sidelink synchronization signal (SSSS), and a physical sidelink broadcast channel (PSBCH); and
transmitting the S-SSB in a slot including a plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols,
wherein OFDM symbols with indices 1 and 2 in the slot are OFDM symbols for the PSSS,
wherein OFDM symbols with indices 3 and 4 in the slot are OFDM symbols for the SSSS, and
wherein OFDM symbols with indices ranging from an index 5 to a second-to-last OFDM symbol immediately preceding a last OFDM symbol in the slot are OFDM symbols for the PSBCH.
