Abstract

An apparatus and a method for effectively mapping a reference signal for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication in a wireless communication system are provided. A transmission terminal performing the V2X communication includes a processor generating sidelink control information (SCI) and a transceiver transmitting the generated SCI to a reception terminal through a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) and a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH). A decision on whether to allocate a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) of the PSSCH and the PSCCH to the same orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol is made based on a number of subchannels and at least one sized thereof.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A transmission terminal performing vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, the transmission terminal comprising:
a processor configured to generate sidelink control information (SCI); and
a transceiver configured to transmit the generated SCI to a reception terminal through a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) and a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH),
wherein a decision on whether to allocate a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) of the PSSCH, and the PSCCH, to the same orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol is made based on a number of subchannels and at least one size thereof,
wherein, when a number of subchannels is at least two and sizes of the subchannels are at least 20 physical resource blocks (PRBs), the DMRS of the PSSCH, and the PSCCH, are allocated to the same OFDM symbol of a common subchannel.

2. The transmission terminal of claim 1 , wherein, when a number of subchannels is one and a size of the subchannel is at least 20 physical resource blocks (PRB), the DMRS of the PSSCH, and the PSCCH, are allocated to the same OFDM symbol.

3. The transmission terminal of claim 1 , wherein, when a number of subchannels is one and a size of the subchannel is less than 20 PRBs, the DMRS of the PSSCH, and the PSCCH, are allocated to different OFDM symbols.

4. The transmission terminal of claim 3 , wherein a number of OFDM symbols to which the DMRS of the PSSCH is allocated is at least two.

5. The transmission terminal of claim 4 , wherein the SCI comprises first SCI and second SCI,
wherein the first SCI is transmitted to the reception terminal through the PSCCH and the second SCI is transmitted to the reception terminal through the PSSCH, and
wherein the second SCI is allocated from a lowest subcarrier excluding a subcarrier for the DMRS from a first OFDM symbol of OFDM symbols to which the DMRS of the PSSCH is allocated.

6. The transmission terminal of claim 3 ,
wherein a number of OFDM symbols to which the DMRS of the PSSCH is allocated is one.

7. The transmission terminal of claim 6 , wherein the SCI comprises first SCI and second SCI,
wherein the first SCI is transmitted to the reception terminal through the PSCCH and the second SCI is transmitted to the reception terminal through the PSSCH, and
wherein the second SCI is allocated from a lowest subcarrier excluding a subcarrier for the DMRS from an OFDM symbol to which the DMRS of the PSSCH is allocated.

8. A transmission terminal performing vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, the transmission terminal comprising:
a processor configured to generate sidelink control information (SCI); and
a transceiver configured to transmit the generated SCI to a reception terminal through a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) and a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH),
wherein a decision on whether to allocate a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) of the PSSCH, and the PSCCH, to the same orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol is made based on a number of subchannels and at least one size thereof,
wherein, when a number of subchannels is at least two and sizes of the subchannels are less than a predetermined number of physical resource blocks (PRBs), the DMRS of the PSSCH and the PSCCH are allocated to different OFDM symbols,
wherein, in a first subchannel to which the PSCCH is allocated among the at least two subchannels, a number of OFDM symbols to which the DMRS of the PSSCH is allocated is one and the DMRS of the PSSCH is allocated to an OFDM symbol different from that of the PSCCH, and
wherein, in a second subchannel to which the PSCCH is not allocated among the at least two subchannels, a number of OFDM symbols to which the DMRS of the PSSCH is allocated is at least two.

9. The transmission terminal of claim 8 , wherein a number of OFDM symbols to which the DMRS of the PSSCH is allocated is at least two and the at least two OFDM symbols are common to the at least two subchannels.

10. The transmission terminal of claim 9 , wherein the SCI comprises first SCI and second SCI,
wherein the first SCI is transmitted to the reception terminal through the PSCCH and the second SCI is transmitted to the reception terminal through the PSSCH, and
wherein the second SCI is allocated from a lowest subcarrier excluding a subcarrier for the DMRS from a second OFDM symbol of OFDM symbols to which the DMRS of the PSSCH is allocated.

11. The transmission terminal of claim 8 , wherein the predetermined number of PRBs is 20 PRBs.

12. The transmission terminal of claim 11 , wherein, in the second subchannel, one of OFDM symbols to which the DMRS of the PSSCH is allocated is the same as an OFDM symbol to which the PSCCH is allocated in the first subchannel, and
a remaining one of OFDM symbols to which the DMRS of the PSSCH is allocated is the same as an OFDM symbol to which the DMRS of the PSSCH is allocated in the first subchannel.

13. The transmission terminal of claim 12 , wherein the SCI comprises first SCI and second SCI,
wherein the first SCI is transmitted to the reception terminal through the PSCCH and the second SCI is transmitted to the reception terminal through the PSSCH, and
wherein the second SCI is allocated from a lowest subcarrier excluding a subcarrier for the DMRS from one of OFDM symbols to which the DMRS of the PSSCH is allocated.

14. A transmission terminal performing vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, the transmission terminal comprising:
a processor configured to generate sidelink control information (SCI); and
a transceiver configured to transmit the generated SCI to a reception terminal through a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) and a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH),
