Abstract

Disclosed are a method and apparatus for transmitting, by a first terminal, a first positioning reference signal (PRS) for relative positioning in a communication system that supports sidelink communication that supports a sidelink according to various embodiments. Disclosed are a method comprising the steps of: receiving a second PRS requesting transmission of the first PRS from a second terminal; measuring an angle of arrival (AoA) on the basis of the second PRS; determining a first PRS pattern of the first PRS on the basis of the AoA; determining a time resource region in which the transmission of the first PRS is requested on the basis of a second PRS pattern of the second PRS; and transmitting the first PRS on the basis of the first PRS pattern and the determined time resource region, and an apparatus therefor.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of transmitting, by a third device, audio data in a short-range wireless communication system, the method comprising:
transmitting, to at least one device, a first advertising message for providing a broadcast audio data streaming service;
transmitting, to the at least one device, a second advertising message including output volume control information for controlling an audio data output volume of the at least one device; and
transmitting, to the at least one device, the audio data related to the broadcast audio data streaming service,
wherein the audio data output volume in each of the at least one device is determined based on the output volume control information,
wherein the audio data is constituted as a unit of a broadcast isochronous group (BIG) including one or more broadcast isochronous stream (BIS) data, and
wherein the BIG is constituted as a unit of one or more sub BIGs.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the output volume control information is included in a specific data structure included in a specific data field of the second advertising message.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the specific data structure is constituted in a hierarchical structure separated based on a unit in which information included in the specific data structure is applied to the audio data, and
the hierarchical structure includes at least one of (i) a first level at which the information included in the specific data structure is applied to the audio data as the unit of the BIG, (ii) a second level at which the information included in the specific data structure is applied to the audio data as the unit of the sub BIG, or (iii) a third level at which the information is applied to the audio data as the unit of the BIS data.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the output volume control information is applied to the audio data as the unit of the BIG based on the output volume control information being included in the first level.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the output volume control information is applied to the audio data as the unit of the sub BIG based on the output volume control information being included in the second level, and
the output volume control information is applied to the audio data as the unit of the BIS data based on the output volume control information being included in the third level.

6. The method of claim 3 , wherein the specific data structure is a broadcast audio source endpoint (BASE) structure.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the output volume control information is included in a specific data field of the second advertising message.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the output volume control information is applied to the audio data as the unit of the BIG.

9. The method of claim 2 , wherein the audio data is constituted by (i) a data event related to data for providing the broadcast audio data streaming service and (ii) a control event related to control information for providing the broadcast audio data streaming service.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the control event further includes another output volume control information different from the output volume control information.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the other output volume control information is applied to the audio data as the unit of the BIG.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
repeatedly transmitting another audio data after the audio data is transmitted,
wherein the audio data output volume for the audio data is determined based on the output volume control information included in the specific data structure in each of the at least one device, and
the audio data output volume for the other audio data is determined based on the other output volume control information in each of the at least one device.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the specific data field is an AdvData field.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second advertising message is an AUX_SYNC_IND type advertising message.

15. A method of receiving, by a first device, audio data in a short-range wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a third device, a first advertising message for providing a broadcast audio data streaming service;
receiving, from the third device, a second advertising message including output volume control information for controlling an audio data output volume of the first device; and
receiving, from the third device, the audio data related to the broadcast audio data streaming service,
wherein the audio data output volume of the first device is determined based on the output volume control information,
wherein the audio data is constituted as a unit of a broadcast isochronous group (BIG) including one or more broadcast isochronous stream (BIS) data, and
wherein the BIG is constituted as a unit of one or more sub BIGs.

16. A third device for transmitting audio data in a short-range wireless communication system, the third device comprising:
a transmitter for transmitting a wireless signal;
a receiver for receiving the wireless signal; and
a processor functionally connected to the transmitter and the receiver,
wherein the processor is configured to
control the transmitter to transmit, to at least one device, a first advertising message for providing a broadcast audio data streaming service,
control the transmitter to transmit, to the at least one device, a second advertising message including output volume control information for controlling an audio data output volume of the at least one device, and
control the transmitter to transmit, to the at least one device, the audio data related to the broadcast audio data streaming service,
wherein the audio data output volume in each of the at least one device is determined based on the output volume control information,
wherein the audio data is constituted as a unit of a broadcast isochronous group (BIG) including one or more broadcast isochronous stream (BIS) data, and
wherein the BIG is constituted as a unit of one or more sub BIGs.
