Abstract

Proposed is a method for operation of a first device ( 100 ) in a wireless communication system. The method may comprise the steps of: performing first L1 ID matching related to a second device ( 200 ); initiating an inactivity timer on the basis of a success in the first L1 ID matching; performing second L1 ID matching related to a third device ( 300 ); re-initiating the inactivity timer on the basis of a success in the second L1 ID matching; and stopping the inactivity timer on the basis of a failure of first L2 ID matching related to the second device ( 200 ) and second L2 ID matching related to the third device ( 300 ).

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method for performing, by a first device, wireless communication, the method comprising:
obtaining a sidelink (SL) discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration; receiving, from a second device, first sidelink control information (SCI) related to a first transmission, for scheduling of a first physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) through a first physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH), within an active time of the SL DRX configuration; receiving, from the second device, a first medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) related to the first transmission and second SCI related to the first transmission through the first PSSCH, within the active time; obtaining a first layer (L) 1 destination identifier (ID) related to the first transmission and a first L1 source ID related to the second device, based on the second SCI; comparing 16 least significant bits (LSB) of a first full L2 source ID of the first device with the first L1 destination ID; comparing 8 LSB of a first full L2 destination ID of the first device with the first L1 source ID; starting an inactivity timer of the SL DRX configuration, based on the 16 LSB of the first full L2 source ID and the first L1 destination ID being the same, and the 8 LSB of the first full L2 destination ID and the first L1 source ID being the same; receiving, from a third device, third SCI related to a second transmission, for scheduling of a second PSSCH through a second PSCCH, within the active time; receiving, from the third device, a second MAC PDU related to the second transmission and fourth SCI related to the second transmission through the second PSSCH, within the active time; obtaining a second L1 destination ID related to the second transmission and a second L1 source ID related to the third device, based on the fourth SCI; comparing the 16 LSB of the first full L2 source ID with the second L1 destination ID; comparing the 8 LSB of the first full L2 destination ID with the second L1 source ID; restarting the inactivity timer, based on the 16 LSB of the first full L2 source ID and the second L1 destination ID being the same, and the 8 LSB of the first full L2 destination ID and the second L1 source ID being the same; obtaining a first partial L2 destination ID related to the first transmission and a first partial L2 source ID related to the second device based on the first MAC PDU; obtaining a second full L2 destination ID related to the first transmission, based on the first L1 destination ID and the first partial L2 destination ID; obtaining a second full L2 source ID related to the second device, based on the first L1 source ID and the first partial L2 source ID; obtaining a second partial L2 destination ID related to the second transmission and a second partial L2 source ID related to the third device based on the second MAC PDU; obtaining a third full L2 destination ID related to the second transmission, based on the second L1 destination ID and the second partial L2 destination ID; obtaining a third full L2 source ID related to the third device, based on the second L1 source ID and the second partial L2 source ID; and stopping the inactivity timer, based on i) the first full L2 source ID being different from the second full L2 destination ID, or the first full L2 destination ID being different from the second full L2 source ID and ii) the first full L2 source ID being different from the third full L2 destination ID, or the first full L2 destination ID being different from the third full L2 source ID.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the active time is a time during which the inactivity timer is running.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the second device is the same as the third device.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first L1 destination ID is 16 bits,
wherein the first L1 source ID is 8 bits, wherein the first full L2 source ID is 24 bits, wherein the first full L2 destination ID is 24 bits, wherein the second L1 destination ID is 16 bits, wherein the second L1 source ID is 8 bits, wherein the first partial L2 destination ID is 8 bits, wherein the first partial L2 source ID is 16 bits, wherein the second full L2 destination ID is 24 bits, wherein the second full L2 source ID is 24 bits, wherein the second partial L2 destination ID is 8 bits, wherein the second partial L2 source ID is 16 bits, wherein the third full L2 destination ID is 24 bits, and wherein the third full L2 source Id is 24 bits.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the inactivity timer is not stopped, based on the first full L2 source ID being the same as the second full L2 destination ID, and
wherein the inactivity timer is not stopped, based on the first full L2 source ID being the same as the second full L2 destination ID, and the first full L2 destination ID being the same as the second full L2 source ID.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein stopping the inactivity timer is not allowed, based on the first full L2 source ID being the same as the second full L2 destination ID, and the first full L2 destination ID being the same as the second full L2 source ID.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the inactivity timer is not stopped, based on the first full L2 source ID being the same as the third full L2 destination ID, and the first full L2 destination ID being the same as the third full L2 source ID.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein stopping the inactivity timer is not allowed, based on the first full L2 source ID being the same as the third full L2 destination ID, and the first full L2 destination ID being the same as the third full L2 source ID.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the inactivity timer is not stopped, based on i) the first full L2 source ID being different from the second full L2 destination ID, or the first full L2 destination ID being different from the second full L2 source ID and ii) the first full L2 source ID being different from the third full L2 destination ID, or the first full L2 destination ID being different from the third full L2 source ID, being not determined.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein stopping the inactivity timer is not allowed, based on i) the first full L2 source ID being different from the second full L2 destination ID, or the first full L2 destination ID being different from the second full L2 source ID and ii) the first full L2 source ID being different from the third full L2 destination ID, or the first full L2 destination ID being different from the third full L2 source ID, being not determined.

11 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transitioning to a sleep mode, based on the inactivity timer being stopped, wherein monitoring for SL communication is not performed, based on the sleep mode.

12 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first partial L2 destination ID and the first partial L2 source ID are obtained based on a MAC header of the first MAC PDU, and
wherein the second partial L2 destination ID and the second partial L2 source ID are obtained based on a MAC header of the second MAC PDU.

13 . The method of claim 1 , wherein restarting the inactivity timer includes:
starting the inactivity timer again by an inactivity timer value, after initializing the inactivity timer, based on the inactivity timer being running; and starting the inactivity timer by the inactivity timer value, based on the inactivity timer being not running.

14 . A first device for performing wireless communication, the first device comprising:
one or more memories storing instructions; one or more transceivers; and one or more processors connect
