The present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving a sidelink synchronization signal in a wireless communication system, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for setting and generating a sequence of a sidelink synchronization signal in a new radio (NR) wireless communication system supporting various numerologies and transmitting or receiving a synchronization signal on a sidelink.
A 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) new radio (NR) system may support various numerologies with respect to a time-frequency resource unit standard into consideration of various scenarios, service requirements, potential system compatibility, etc., to meet requirements for 5-th generation (5G) communication. Also, the NR system may support transmission of a physical signal or a physical channel through a plurality of beams to outperform poor channel environments, such as high pathloss, phase noise, and frequency offset, occurring on a high carrier frequency. Through this, the NR system may support applications, such as, for example, enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC), ultra Machine Type Communications (uMTC), Ultra Reliable and Low Latency Communications (URLLC), and the like.
Vehicle-to-X; Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication refers to a communication method of exchanging or sharing information, such as traffic conditions, through communication with other vehicles and/or road infrastructures during driving. V2X may include, for example, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) that refers to communication between vehicles, vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) that refers to communication between a vehicle and a user equipment (UE) carried by a pedestrian user, and vehicle-to-infrastructure/network (V2I/N) that refers to communication between a vehicle and a roadside unit (RSU)/network. Also, the V2X communication may include a method of using a PC5 link (or a sidelink) that is a device-to-device (D2D) communication interface, a method of using an Uu link (or an uplink and a downlink) that is a communication interface between a base station and a UE, or a method of using all of the PC5 link and the Uu link.
5G sidelink technology is under discussion for incorporation of new and diverse services, such as automatic driving or remote driving, through performance improvement of ultra high reliability and/or ultra low latency, in 5G mobile communication. Basically, a communication protocol on a 5G sidelink requires acquiring a synchronization on a sidelink. Definition of a synchronization reference on the 5G sidelink and setting and generation of a synchronization signal sequence according to the synchronization reference are not determined in detail so far.
An aspect of the present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for defining a sidelink synchronization reference, and setting and generating a synchronization signal sequence according to the sidelink synchronization reference.

Hereinafter, examples of the present disclosure will be described in detail so that those skilled in the art can easily carry out the examples referring to the accompanying drawings. However, the present disclosure may be embodied in many different forms and is not limited to the examples described herein.
In the following description of the examples of the present disclosure, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present disclosure unclear. Parts not related to the description of the present disclosure in the drawings are omitted, and similar parts are denoted by similar reference numerals.
In the present disclosure, when an element is referred to as being “connected”, “coupled”, or “connected” to another element, it is understood to include not only a direct connection relationship but also an indirect connection relationship. Also, when an element is referred to as “containing” or “having” another element, it means not only excluding another element but also further including another element.
In the present disclosure, the terms first, second, and so on are used only for the purpose of distinguishing one element from another, and do not limit the order or importance of the elements unless specifically mentioned. Thus, within the scope of this disclosure, the first component in an example may be referred to as a second component in another example, and similarly a second component in an example may be referred to as a second component in another example.
In the present disclosure, components that are distinguished from one another are intended to clearly illustrate each feature and do not necessarily mean that components are separate. That is, a plurality of components may be integrated into one hardware or software unit, or a single component may be distributed into a plurality of hardware or software units. Accordingly, such integrated or distributed examples are also included within the scope of the present disclosure, unless otherwise noted.
In the present disclosure, the components described in the various examples do not necessarily mean essential components, but some may be optional components. Accordingly, examples consisting of a subset of the components described in an example are also included within the scope of this disclosure. Also, examples that include other components in addition to the components described in the various examples are also included in the scope of the present disclosure. Further, the description described herein is related to a wireless communication network, and an operation performed in a wireless communication network may be performed in a process of controlling a network and transmitting data by a system that controls a wireless network, e.g., a base station, or may be performed in a user equipment connected to the wireless communication network.
It is apparent that various operations performed for communication with a terminal in a network including a base station and a plurality of network nodes may be performed by the base station or by other network nodes in addition to the base station. Here, the term ‘base station (BS)’ may be interchangeably used with other terms, for example, a fixed station, a Node B, eNodeB (eNB), gNodeB (gNB), and an access point (AP). Also, the term ‘terminal’ may be interchangeably used with other terms, for example, user equipment (UE), a mobile station (MS), a mobile subscriber station (MSS), a subscriber station (SS), and a non-AP station (non-AP STA).
Herein, transmitting or receiving a channel includes a meaning of transmitting or receiving information or a signal through the corresponding channel. For example, transmitting a control channel indicates transmitting control information or a signal through the control channel. Likewise, transmitting a data channel indicates transmitting data information or a signal through the data channel.
In the following, for clarity of description, term of description related thereto is made below.
Herein, a 5G system may be defined to include any of existing Long Term Evolution (LTE) based systems as well as a new radio (NR) system. That is, the 5G system may include a case in which LTE based wireless access technology and NR wireless access technology are applied together as well as a case in which the NR wireless access technology alone is applied. Also, 5G sidelink technology may include all of sidelink technology to which NR alone is applied and sidelink technology to which LTE and NR are applied together.
In V2X communication, control information transmitted from a UE to another UE may be scheduling assignment (SA). If the aforementioned control information is used for sidelink communication, the control information may be SCI. Here, if the control information is transmitted through a sidelink, the control information may be transmitted through the aforementioned PSCCH that is a channel used to transmit control information in the sidelink.
Also, data transmitted from a UE to another UE may be configured based on a unit of a transport port (TB). Here, if the data is transmitted through a sidelink, the data may be transmitted through the aforementioned PSSCH that is a channel used to transmit data.
Herein, an operation mode may be defined based on a resource allocation method for transmitting data and control information for V2X communication or direct link (e.g., D2D, ProSe, or SL) communication.
An base station (BS) resource scheduling mode (eNodeB resource scheduling mode) may be a mode in which a BS (eNodeB) or a relay node schedules resources used for a UE to transmit V2X (or direct link) control information and/or data. Through this, the UE may transmit the V2X (or direct link) control information and/or data. This mode may refer to the BS resource scheduling mode.
For example, the BS or the relay node may provide, to a sidelink (or direct link) transmitting UE, scheduling information about resources used to transmit sidelink (or direct ink) control information and/or data through downlink control information (DCI). Therefore, the sidelink (or direct link) transmitting UE may transmit the sidelink (or direct link) control information and data to a sidelink (or direct link) receiving UE, and the sidelink (or direct link) receiving UE may receive sidelink (or direct link) data based on the sidelink (or direct link) control information.
Meanwhile, a UE autonomous resource selection mode may be a mode in which a UE autonomously selects resources used to transmit control information and data and such resource selection may be determined through sensing of the UE from a resource pool (i.e., a set of resource candidates). Through this, the UE may transmit control information and data. This mode may refer to the UE autonomous resource selection mode.
For example, the sidelink (or direct link) transmitting UE may transmit sidelink (or direct link) control information and data to the sidelink (or direct link) receiving UE using its selected resource, and the sidelink (or direct link) receiving UE may receive sidelink (or direct link) data based on sidelink (or direct link) control information.
Here, for example, the aforementioned BS resource scheduling mode may be referred to as Mode 1 in sidelink (or direct link) communication for D2D and the like. Also, the BS resource scheduling mode may be referred to as Mode 3 in sidelink communication for V2X and the like. Also, the UE autonomous resource selection mode may be referred to as Mode 2 in sidelink (or direct link) communication for D2D and the like. Also, the UE autonomous resource selection mode may be referred to as Mode 4 in sidelink communication for V2X and the like.
Also, although the following description is made based on V2X communication for clarity of description, it is provided as an example only. For example, the present disclosure may apply alike to communication based on a direct link such as D2D, ProSe, and the like, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
Also, for example, V2X may be a general term for V2V, V2P, and V2I/N. Here, each of V2V, V2P, and V2I/N may be defined as the following Table 1 connected with LTE (Long Term Evolution).
Also, V2X communication may include PC-5 based communication that is an interface for sidelink communication, for this, as the D2D communication link (e.g., direct interface between a Device and a Device supporting the ProSe system). For V2X operation, various scenarios such as the following Table 2, Table 3, and Table 4, referring
For example, the following Table 2 and
Meanwhile, the following Table 3 and
The following Table 4 and
As described above, the V2X communication may be performed through the BS and may be performed through direct communication between UEs. Here, if the BS is used, transmission and reception may be performed through a Uu link that is a communication interface between an LTE BS and UE in LTE-based V2X communication. Also, if the sidelink is used for the direct communication between UEs, transmission and reception may be performed through a PC5 link that is a communication interface between LTE UEs in the LTE-based V2X communication.
In LTE, communication from a BS to a UE is referred to as a downlink (DL) and communication from the UE to the BS is referred to as an uplink (UL). Communication from a UE to another UE is further defined as a sidelink (SL) in addition to the uplink (UL) and the downlink (DL).
In the LTE, a technical item of initially using and applying PC5 based sidelink communication is D2D that is a proximity communication (ProSe) for public safety and commercial purposes. Also, in the LTE, a next technical item of applying the PC5 based sidelink communication is V2X that is a communication for vehicles.

In an NR system, two types of synchronization signals may be defined. For example, the two types of synchronization signals may include an NR-primary synchronization signal (NR-PSS) and an NR-secondary synchronization signal (NR-SSS).
The NR-PSS may be used to perform synchronization on an initial symbol boundary in an NR cell.
The NR-SSS may be used to detect an NR cell identifier (ID).
In a previous wireless communication system (e.g., LTE/LTE-A system) of the NR system, a bandwidth for transmission of a PSS/SSS and/or Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) is defined as 1.08 megahertz (MHz) corresponding to six physical resource blocks (PRBs). The NR system may use a relatively wide transmission bandwidth to transmit an NR-PSS/SSS and/or NR-PBCH compared to the previous wireless communication system. To this end, the NR system may use a subcarrier spacing (SCS) greater than 15 kilohertz (kHz).
If operating in 6 gigahertz (GHz) or less, one of 15 kHz and 30 kHz may be considered as a default SCS. If operating in 6 GHz or more (e.g., if operating between 6 GHz and 52.5 GHz), one of 120 kHz and 240 kHz may be considered as a default SCS.
In detail, a default SCS set and a minimum carrier bandwidth assumed by a UE during an initial access may be defined as follows. If operating in 6 GHz or less, the UE may basically assume a 15 kHz SCS and a bandwidth of 5 MHz. Also, the UE may assume a 30 kHz SCS and a bandwidth of 10 MHz in a specific band. Also, if operating in 6 GHz or more, the UE may assume a 120 kHz SCS and a bandwidth of 10 MHz.
Also, an SCS supported for data and/or control information based on a specific frequency band may be defined as follows. If operating in 1 GHz or less, SCSs of 15 kHz, 30 kHz, and 60 kHz may be supported. If operating between 1 GHz and 6 GHz, SCSs of 15 kHz, 30 kHz, and 60 kHz may be supported. If operating between 24 GHz and 52.6 GHz, SCSs of 60 kHz and 120 kHz may be supported and 240 kHz may not be supported for data. An SCS to be supported may be defined based on a band.
The NR-PSS, the NR-SSS, and/or the NR-PBCH may be transmitted in a synchronization signal (SS) block. Here, the SS block refers to a time-frequency resource area including all of the NR-PSS, the NR-SSS, and/or the NR-PBCH.
At least one SS block may constitute an SS burst. A single SS burst may be defined to include a predetermined number of SS blocks, which may also be referred to as a duration of the SS burst. Also, at least one SS block may be continuous or discontinuous within a single SS burst. Also, at least one SS block within a single SS burst may be identical or different.
At least one SS burst may constitute an SS burst set. A single SS burst set may be defined to include a predetermined periodicity and a predetermined number of SS bursts. A number of SS bursts within the SS burst set may be defined to be finite. Also, a transmission point in time of the SS burst set may be periodically defined and may also be aperiodically defined.
At least one SCS may be predefined for each synchronization signal (e.g., NR-PSS, NR-SSS, NR-PBCH) with respect to a specific frequency range or carrier. For example, at least one of 15, 30, 120, and 240 kHz may be applied as an SCS.
Here, an SCS for the NR-PSS, the NR-SSS, or the NR-PBCH may be identical. Also, at least one frequency range may be given, and different frequency ranges may overlap. Also, a single numerology may be defined and a plurality of numerologies may be defined with respect to a specific frequency range. Accordingly, one or more SCSs may be defined with respect to the specific frequency range.
Also, from a point of view of a UE, the SS burst set may be periodically transmitted.
To overcome a poor channel environment, such as high pathloss, phase-noise, and frequency offset, occurring in a high carrier frequency, an NR system may consider a transmission of a synchronization signal, a random access signal, and a broadcast channel through a plurality of beams.
With respect to the transmission through the plurality of beams, a number of beams used for the transmission and a width of each beam may be variously determined based on a cell environment. Accordingly, a standardization regarding a maximum number of beams and a maximum amount of physical resources required for the transmission is required to provide a degree of freedom for implementation as above.
Hereinafter, a method of transmitting a beam in an SS burst including a single SS block or a plurality of SS blocks is described with reference to

The UE may induce a symbol/slot index and a radio frame index from a single SS block time index. A symbol/slot index and a radio frame index according to an SS block time index of each SS block may be prefixed and thereby defined. Accordingly, if the SS block time index of each SS block is known, a frame/symbol timing of each SS block may be known based on a relationship between the SS block time index and the symbol/slot index and the radio frame index that are prefixed and thereby defined. Through this, the entire frame/symbol timings may be known.
Here, in the case of the SS block time index, 1) an SS burst index may be defined within the SS burst set and a time index for a single SS block may be defined for each SS block within a single SS burst, and 2) a time index for a single SS block may be defined for each SS block within an SS burst set.
Also, transmission of SS blocks within the SS burst set may be confined within a 5-ms window regardless of SS burst set periodicity. A number of available candidate SS block locations within the 5-ms window may be given as L. In detail, L denotes a maximum number of SS blocks within the SS burst set and may be defined based on a frequency range as follows. For example, L=4 in the frequency range of 3 GHz or less, L=8 in the frequency range of 3 GHz to 6 GHz, and L=64 in the frequency range of 6 GHz to 52.6 GHz.
Also, in the case of an initial access such as a cell selection, a default value for the SS burst set periodicity may be defined as 20 ms.
Referring to
Also, SCSs supported for the SS block may be 15 kHz and 30 kHz if operating in 6 GHz or less, and may be 120 kHz and 240 kHz if operating in 6 GHz or more.
Hereinafter, a downlink synchronization signal sequence in an NR system is described.
A total of 3 NR-PSS sequences may be present. If an NR-PSS is configured based on a pure binary phase shift keying (BPSK) M-sequence in a frequency domain, x7+x4+1 may be used as a primitive polynomial. A total of 3 NR-PSS sequences may be acquired by cyclically shifting the primitive polynomial by 0, 43, and 86 on the frequency domain. Here, a shift register value used to generate a sequence through the primitive polynomial may be represented as 11101110 using a binary system. Here, the NR-PSS may have a sequence length of 127 and may be continuously mapped to a total of 127 subcarriers.
Also, an NR-SSS may be configured based on a pure BPSK M-sequence. Here, the NR-SSS may have a sequence length of 127 identical to that of the NR-PSS, and may be continuously mapped to a total of 127 subcarriers. Here, since about 1000 physical cell IDs (PCIDs) are considered for NR, about 1000 NR-SSS sequences may be required.
M-sequence may be generated based on an irreducible primitive polynomial over GF(2). With respect to the length of 127(=27−1), the M-sequence may be generated based on one of a total of 18 irreducible primitive polynomials as shown in the following Table 5.
For example, referring to Table 5, in the case of using the primitive polynomial x7+x3+1 (represented as 131 using a decimal system, represented as 211 using an octal system, and represented as 10001001 using a binary system), the M-sequence may be generated according to the following Equation 1. In Equation 1, x(i) denotes the M-sequence and 0≤i≤126. Also, in Equation 1, x(ī+7) corresponds to x7 in the primitive polynomial, x(ī+3) corresponds to x3 in the primitive polynomial, and x(ī) corresponds to 1 in the primitive polynomial. Although initialization values x(0), x(1), x(2), x(3), x(4), x(5), and x(6) are expressed as 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, and 1, respectively, in Equation 1, they are provided as an example only. That is, other initialization values may be used.
x({dot over (i)}+7)=(x({dot over (i)}+7)+x({dot over (i)}+7)+x({dot over (i)}))mod 2,0≤{dot over (i)}≤126,
x(0)=0,x(1)=0,x(2)=0,x(3)=0,x(4)=0,x(5)=0,x(6)=1 [Equation 1]
If the generated M-sequence is represented using BPSK, the M-sequence may be modulated as represented by the following Equation 2. If a sequence value of the M-sequence=0, the value becomes 1 in response to BPSK modulation. If a sequence value of the M-sequence=1, the value becomes −1 in response to BPSK modulation.
{tilde over (s)}(i)=1−2x(i),0≤i≤126 [Equation 2]
Finally, as represented by the following Equation 3, a total of 127 sequences are generated by cyclically shifting the sequence {tilde over (s)}(i) of Equation 2 by m since a total of 127 values from 0 to 126 are available for a value of m. Therefore, {tilde over (s)}(i) corresponds to an NR-SSS sequence that is mapped to each of consecutive 127 subcarriers on a frequency axis with respect to a single symbol within a substantially single SS block.
sm(n)={tilde over (s)}((n+m)mod 127),0≤i≤126 [Equation 3]
A correlation value of the BPSK M-sequence generated in the aforementioned manner is represented as the following Equation 4. In Equation 4, if following examples of Equation 1 to Equation 3, N=127 corresponding to the length of the M-sequence. That is, as shown in Equation 4, a correlation value between sequences having the same cyclic shift (i.e., a correlation value with a corresponding sequence itself) is N, and otherwise, −1. That is, since the difference is great, the BPSK M-sequence may have a very excellent correlation characteristic.
As described above, the BPSK M-sequence has an excellent correlation characteristic. However, considering a sequence with a length of 127 for mapping to a total of 127 subcarriers on a frequency, a total number of sequences is 127 and thus, limited. As described above, about 1000 NR PCIDs need to be classified. Here, although scrambling is applied based on three NR-PSSs with respect to each of the 127 NR-SSS sequences, a total of 127.3=381 different sequence combinations are present and about 1000 NR PCIDs may not be classified accordingly. Therefore, a method of generating a greater number of sequences is required.
To generate a greater number of sequences, a plurality of irreducible primitive polynomials may be used instead of using a single irreducible primitive polynomial as described above with reference to Equation 1 to Equation 3. To generate the M-sequence with the length of 127 as shown in Table 5, one of a total of 18 irreducible primitive polynomials may be used. Therefore, a maximum of K primitive polynomials may be used among a total of 18 primitive polynomials as follows.
If x0(i) refers to an M-sequence generated through a first primitive polynomial, x1(i) refers to an M-sequence generated through a second primitive polynomial, and, in this manner, xk(i) refers to an M-sequence generated through a (k+1)-th primitive polynomial, a total of 127K sequences may be generated. Here, 0≤k≤K−1 and a maximum value of K is 18. Here, the (k+1)-th primitive polynomial may be one of 18 primitive polynomials of Table 5. Also, a method of generating an M-sequence xk(i) through each corresponding primitive polynomial may follow the method described above with reference to Equation 1.
If the generated M-sequence is represented using BPSK, modulation may be performed as represented by the following Equation 5. If a sequence value of the M-sequence=0, the value becomes 1 in response to BPSK modulation. If the sequence value of the M-sequence=1, the value becomes −1 in response to BPSK modulation.
{tilde over (s)}k(i)=1−2xk(i),0≤i≤126 [Equation 5]
As represented by Equation 6, a total of 127 sequences are generated by cyclically shifting the sequence {tilde over (s)}k(i) of Equation 5 by m since a total of 127 values from 0 to 126 are available for a value of m. Also, 127 sequences may be generated with respect to each k and a total of 127*K sequences may be finally generated. Here, 0≤k≤K−1 and a maximum value of K is 18. Therefore, sm(n) corresponds to an NR-SSS sequence that is mapped to each of consecutive 127 subcarriers on a frequency axis with respect to a single symbol within a substantially single SS block.
skm(n)={tilde over (s)}k((n+m)mod 127),0≤i≤126 [Equation 6]
A correlation value of the BPSK M-sequence generated in the aforementioned manner is represented as the following Equation 7. Here, a maximum absolute value (here, the maximum absolute value referring to a maximum absolute value among values excluding a correlation value with a corresponding sequence itself) of a correlation value according to Equation 7 is 41 of which a difference with 127 is not great compared to Equation 4 of which a corresponding value is 1 (1 if an absolute value is applied to −1). Therefore, a maximum of 127*K sequences may be generated, which may be sufficient to classify about 1000 NR PCIDs. However, a correlation characteristic may be poor.
Here, in the case of generating an M-sequence based on a maximum connected set of the M-sequence instead of generating the M-sequence from each of a total of K primitive polynomials, sequences having a further excellent correlation characteristic may be generated. The maximum connected set of the M-sequence may have a total of 18 sets as shown in Table 6 with respect to the M-sequence with the length of 127. The primitive polynomials of Table 5 may be represented using an octal system as primitive polynomials of the following Table 6.

If x0(i) refers to an M-sequence generated through a first primitive polynomial, x1(i) refers to an M-sequence generated through a second primitive polynomial, and, in this manner, xk(i) refers to an M-sequence generated through a (k+1)-th primitive polynomial (here, 0≤k≤K−1), a maximum value of K is 6, which differs from the method described above with reference to Equation 5 and Equation 6. Here, the respective primitive polynomials need to be primitive polynomials belonging to the maximum connected set of the above Table 6.
For example, in the case of using a maximum connected set 1 of Table 6, a primitive polynomial needs to be represented as one of 211, 217, 277, 323, 203, and 253 in response to a representation using an octal system.
Hereinafter, a PCID and a synchronization signal in an NR system will be described.
In the NR system, the range of a PCID is from 0 to 1007 and may have one of 1008 distinguishable values. The PCID may be represented as NIDcell and may be defined as NIDcell=3NID(1)+NID(2).
Here, NID(1) may have a single value of {0, 1, . . . , 335} and NID(2) may have a single value of {0, 1, 2}. That is, NID(1) may have a single value among 336 hypothesis values and NID(2) may have a single value among three hypothesis values.
NID(1) may be given by an NR-SSS and NID(2) may be given by an NR-PSS. That is, a base station that transmits a synchronization signal may determine values of NID(1) and NID(2) corresponding to a PCID value NIDcell of the base station and may generate and transmit NR-SSS and NR-PSS sequences based on the respective determined values of NID(1) and NID(2). A UE that receives a synchronization signal for an initial cell selection may verify NIDI) and NID(2) from the detected NR-SSS sequence and NR-PSS sequence, respectively, and may determine a PCID of a corresponding cell based on NIDcell=3NID(1)+NID(2).
Hereinafter, a process of generating NR-PSS and NR-SSS sequences is described.
Generation of a sequence dPSS(n) for an NR-PSS using an M-sequence may be represented as the following Equation 8.
dPSS(n)=1−2x(m)
m=(n+43NID(2))mod 127
0≤n<127
where
x(i+7)=(x(i+4)+x(i))mod 2
and
[x(6)x(5)x(4)x(3)x(2)x(1)x(0)]=[1110110] [Equation 8]
Referring to Equation 8, the NR-PSS may be generated using a frequency domain-based pure BPSK M-sequence. Also, three NR-PSSs may be acquired by applying three cyclic shift (CS) values in the frequency domain. That is, the CS value may be defined as CS=0 if NID(2)=0, CS=43 if NID(2)=1, and CS=86 if NID(2)=2. Also, the NR-PSS sequence may have a length of 127 in the case of the frequency domain-based pure BPSK M-sequence.
Generation of a sequence dPSS(n) for an NR-SSS using an M-sequence may be represented as the following Equation 9.
dSSS(n)=[1−2x0((n+m0)mod 127)][1−2x1((n+m1)mod 127)]
m0=15└NID(1)/112┘+5NID(2)
m1=NID(1) mod 112
0≤n<127
where
x0(i+7)=(x0(i+4)+x0(i))mod 2
x1(i+7)=(x1(i+1)+x1(i))mod 2
and
[x0(6)x0(5)x0(4)x0(3)x0(2)x0(1)x0(0)]=[0000001]
[x1(6)x1(5)x1(4)x1(3)x1(2)x1(1)x1(0)]=[0000001] [Equation 9]
Referring to Equation 9, the NR-SSS sequence may be generated using a single polynomial to which 112 cyclic shifts are applied and an additional single polynomial to which 9 cyclic shifts are applied.
Here, cyclic shift values m0 and m1 may be determined based on a cell ID (i.e., Nidcell=3NID(1)+NID(2)) extracted from the NR-PSS (i.e., NID(2)=0, 1, 2) and the NR-SSS (i.e., NID(1)=0, 1, . . . , 335). For example, m0 may have a single value among 9 cases including 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40, and m1 may have a single value among 112 cases including 0 to 111. Accordingly, available combinations of m0 and m1 may correspond to a total of 1008 (=9*112) cell IDs (i.e., PCID).
The generated NR-PSS and NR-SSS sequences may be mapped on time-frequency resources of an SS block. The NR-PSS may be mapped on consecutive 127 subcarriers present in the middle of a frequency domain at a time location of a single specific symbol of the SS block, and the NR-SSS may be mapped on consecutive 127 subcarriers present in the middle of the frequency domain at a time location of another specific symbol of the SS block. In the example of
Hereinafter, a method and apparatus for setting and generating a sidelink synchronization signal sequence in a wireless communication system and a method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving a sidelink synchronization signal according to the present disclosure will be described.
Referring to
Here, the wireless communication system may be a 5G network that supports LTE based technology (i.e., LTE and LTE enhanced radio access technology) as well as NR. Also, the base station 900 may be gNB or eNB. As described above, the wireless communication system of
Herein, a sidelink synchronization reference may be classified into a plurality of types. Also, a physical layer sidelink synchronization identity set for a corresponding sidelink synchronization signal may be distinguishably defined based on a type into which the sidelink synchronization reference is classified.
As a first example, a synchronization reference may be classified into two types based on whether a source of synchronization is an entity present in the network coverage 905 (i.e., an in-coverage entity) or an entity located out of the network coverage 905 (i.e., an out-of-coverage entity).
In detail, since the UE2 920 performs synchronization using a synchronization signal from the UE1 910 and the UE1 910 performs synchronization using a synchronization signal from the base station 900, the UE2 920 uses the in-coverage entity as a source of synchronization. The UE3 930 performs synchronization using a synchronization signal from the UE2 920, the UE2 920 performs synchronization using a synchronization signal from the UE1 910, and the UE1 910 performs synchronization using a synchronization signal from the base station 900. Accordingly, the UE3 930 uses the in-coverage entity as a source of synchronization. In this case, a synchronization reference of a sidelink 915 between the UE1 910 and the UE2 920 or a synchronization reference of a sidelink 925 between the UE2 920 and the UE3 930 may be referred to as a first type synchronization reference.
The UE5 950 present out of the coverage performs synchronization using a synchronization signal from the UE4 940 present out of the coverage. In this case, a synchronization reference of a sidelink 945 between the UE4 940 and the UE5 950 may be referred to as a second type synchronization reference.
A sidelink synchronization identity set corresponding to the first type synchronization reference may be referred to as id_net, and a sidelink synchronization identity set corresponding to the second type synchronization reference may be referred to as id_oon. That is, id_net may apply to the first sidelink 915 and the second sidelink 925 and id_oon may apply to the third sidelink 945.
As a second example, a synchronization reference may be classified into three types based on whether a source of synchronization is an in-coverage entity or an out-of-coverage entity, whether the synchronization signal is transmitted from the in-coverage entity to the out-of-coverage entity, or whether the synchronization signal is transmitted from the out-of-coverage entity to another out-of-coverage entity.
In detail, since the UE2 920 performs synchronization using a synchronization signal from the UE1 910 and the UE1 910 performs synchronization using a synchronization signal from the base station, the UE2 920 uses the in-coverage entity as a source of synchronization. Also, the UE1 910 is present in the coverage and the UE2 920 is present out of the coverage. In this case, a synchronization reference of the sidelink 915 between the UE1 910 and the UE2 920 may be referred to as a first type synchronization reference.
The UE3 930 performs synchronization using a synchronization signal from the UE2 920, the UE2 920 performs synchronization using a synchronization signal from the UE1 910, and the UE1 910 performs synchronization using a synchronization signal from the base station 900. Therefore, the UE3 930 uses the in-coverage entity as a source of synchronization. Also, all of the UE2 920 and the UE3 930 are present out of the coverage. In this case, a synchronization reference of the sidelink 925 between the UE2 920 and the UE3 930 may be referred to as a second type synchronization reference.
The UE5 950 present out of the coverage performs synchronization using a synchronization signal from the UE4 940 present out of the coverage. In this case, a synchronization reference of the sidelink 945 between the UE4 940 and the UE5 950 may be referred to as a third type synchronization reference.
A sidelink synchronization identity set corresponding to the first type synchronization reference may be referred to as id_net_1, a sidelink synchronization identity set corresponding to the second type synchronization reference may be referred to as id_net_2, and a sidelink synchronization identity set corresponding to the third type synchronization reference may be referred to as id_oon. That is, id_net_1 may apply to the first sidelink 915, id_net_2 may apply to the second sidelink 925, and id_oon may apply to the third sidelink 945.
As a third example, a synchronization reference may be classified into three types based on whether a source of synchronization is an in-coverage entity or an out-of-coverage entity and based on a type of radio access technology followed by the source of synchronization.
In detail, if a source of synchronization of the UE2 920 or the UE3 930 is an entity (e.g., gNB of an NR system) present in the coverage and according to a first type of radio access technology, a corresponding synchronization reference may be referred to as a first type synchronization reference. For example, if the base station 900 of
Alternatively, if a source of synchronization of the UE2 920 or the UE3 930 is an entity (e.g., eNB of an LTE based system) present in the coverage and according to a second type of radio access technology, a corresponding synchronization reference may be referred to as a second type synchronization reference. For example, if the base station 900 of
The UE5 950 present out of the coverage performs synchronization using a synchronization signal from the UE4 940 present out of the coverage. In this case, a synchronization reference of the sidelink 945 between the UE4 940 and the UE5 950 may be referred to as a third type synchronization reference.
A sidelink synchronization identity set corresponding to the first type synchronization reference may be referred to as id_net_1, a sidelink synchronization identity set corresponding to the second type synchronization reference may be referred to as id_net_2, and a sidelink synchronization identity set corresponding to the third type synchronization reference may be referred to as id_oon. That is, id_net_1 may apply to the first sidelink 915, id_net_2 may apply to the second sidelink 925, and id_oon may apply to the third sidelink 945.
According to the present disclosure, two or three types may be defined for a type of a synchronization reference or a type of a physical layer sidelink synchronization identity set.
If the synchronization identity set is defined using two types, id_net that uses an in-coverage entity as a synchronization reference and id_oon that uses an out-of-coverage entity as a synchronization reference may be defined.
If the synchronization identity set is defined using three types, id_net_1 for a case in which an in-coverage entity is used for a synchronization reference and a sidelink synchronization signal is transmitted from the in-coverage entity to an out-of-coverage entity, id_net_2 for a case in which an in-coverage entity is used for a synchronization reference and a sidelink synchronization signal is transmitted from an out-of-coverage entity to another out-of-coverage entity, and id_oon that uses an out-of-coverage entity for a synchronization reference may be defined.
Alternatively, if the synchronization identity set is defined using three types, id_net_1 that uses, for a synchronization reference, an in-coverage entity according to a first type of radio access technology, id_net_2 that uses, for a synchronization reference, an in-coverage entity according to a second type of radio access technology, and id_oon that uses an out-of-coverage entity for a synchronization reference may be defined.

As shown in Equation 8 and Equation 9, one (e.g., a polynomial corresponding to octal 221 of Table 5) of first and second primitive polynomials (e.g., polynomials corresponding to octal 221 and 203 of Table 5) for a downlink SSS may be used as a primitive polynomial for a downlink PSS.
A primitive polynomial for a sidelink PSS may use another single primitive polynomial (e.g., a polynomial corresponding to octal 203 of Table 5) distinguished from the primitive polynomial applied to the downlink PSS among first and second primitive polynomials for a sidelink SSS.
In this case, an initialization value for a sidelink PSS primitive polynomial may be applied to be identical to an initialization value for a downlink PSS primitive polynomial. Alternatively, another single initialization value may be applied.
For example, the primitive polynomial for the sidelink PSS may be defined as represented by the following Equation 19.
x(i+7)=(x(i+1)+x(i))mod 2
[x(6)x(5)x(4)x(3)x(2)x(1)x(0)]=[1110110] [Equation 19]
Here, a CS value for the sidelink PSS may use a portion of CS values for the downlink PSS. For example, the CS value for the sidelink PSS may be defined as CS=0 if NID(2)=0 and CS=43 if NID(2)=1.
Sidelink SSS Resource (Example C3-SSS)
Although a primitive polynomial for a sidelink SSS may use the same polynomial as that for a downlink SSS, first and second primitive polynomials may be replaced with each other. For example, if first and second primitive polynomials applied to the downlink SSS are defined as polynomials corresponding to octal 221 and 203 of Table 5, respectively (see Equation 9), first and second primitive polynomials applied to the sidelink SSS may be defined as polynomials corresponding to octal 203 and 221 of Table 5, respectively.
For example, the first and second primitive polynomials for the sidelink SSS may be defined as the following Equation 20.
x0(i+7)=(x0(i+1)+x0(i))mod 2
x1(i+7)=(x1(i+4)+x1(i))mod 2
[x0(6)x0(5)x0(4)x0(3)x0(2)x0(1)x0(0)]=[0000001]
[x1(6)x1(5)x1(4)x1(3)x1(2)x1(1)x1(0)]=[0000001] [Equation 20]
In this case, an initialization value for a sidelink SSS primitive polynomial may be applied to be identical to an initialization value for a downlink SSS primitive polynomial. Alternatively, another single initialization value may be applied.
Here, a CS value for the sidelink SSS may use a portion of CS values for the downlink SSS.
That is, the primitive polynomial of Equation 20 may be applied to the sidelink SSS and a portion of m0={0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40} and m1={0, 1, . . . , 111} may be used as the CS value for the sidelink SSS.
For example, as shown in the above Equation 11, m0={0, 5, 15, 20} may be used. Here, m1={0, 1, . . . , 111} may be used for m0={0, 5} and m1={0, 1, . . . , 55} may be used for m0={15, 20}. Therefore, a number of possible combinations of m0 and m1 may correspond to a total of 336 (=2*112+2*56) SLIDs.
As an additional example, as shown in the above Equation 12, m0={0, 5, 10, 15} may be used. Here, m1={0, 1, . . . , 111} may be used for m0={0, 5}, and m1={0, 1, . . . , 55} may be used for m0={10, 15}. Therefore, a number of possible combinations of m0 and m1 may correspond to a total of 336 (=2*112+2*56) SLIDs.
As an additional example, as shown in the above Equation 13, m0={0, 5, 15, 20} and m1={0, 1, . . . , 83} may be used. Therefore, a number of possible combinations of m0 and m1 may correspond to a total of 336 (=4*84) SLIDs.
As an additional example, as shown in the above Equation 14, m0={0, 5, 10, 15} and m1={0, 1, . . . , 83} may be used. Therefore, a number of possible combinations of m0 and m1 may correspond to a total of 336 (=4*84) SLIDs.
In the present example, first and second primitive polynomials different from those applied to a downlink SSS may be applied to a sidelink SSS. Also, one of the first and second primitive polynomials for the sidelink SSS may be applied as a primitive polynomial for a sidelink PSS. Therefore, the first and second primitive polynomials used for the downlink PSS and the downlink SSS and the first and second primitive polynomials used for the sidelink PSS and the sidelink SSS may not overlap.
For example, primitive polynomials used for the sidelink PSS and the sidelink SSS may be defined as primitive polynomials belonging to the same maximum connected set (see Table 6).
Sidelink PSS Resource (Example C4-PSS)
As a primitive polynomial for a sidelink PSS, one of remaining primitive polynomials excluding primitive polynomials used for a downlink PSS and a downlink SSS from among polynomials belonging to set 5 included in primitive polynomials (221 and 203 represented using an octal system) used for the downlink PSS and the downlink SSS in the maximum connected set of Table 6 may be selected. For example, one of polynomials 253, 271, 367, and 345 represented using an octal system may be selected as the primitive polynomial for the sidelink PSS.
For example, as shown in the following Equation 21, a polynomial corresponding to octal 253 may be applied as the primitive polynomial for the sidelink PSS. In this case, an initialization value for a sidelink PSS primitive polynomial may be applied to be identical to an initialization value for a downlink PSS primitive polynomial. Alternatively, another single initialization value may be applied.
x(i+7)=(x(i+5)+x(i+3)+x(i+1)+x(i))mod 2
[x(6)x(5)x(4)x(3)x(2)x(1)x(0)]=[1110110] [Equation 21]
Here, a CS value for the sidelink PSS may use a portion of CS values for the downlink PSS. For example, the CS value for the sidelink PSS may be defined as CS=0 if NID(2)=0 and CS=43 if NID(2)=1.
Sidelink SSS Resource (Example C4-SSS)
The same primitive polynomial as a primitive polynomial for a sidelink PSS may be selected as a first primitive polynomial for a sidelink SSS, and one of polynomials belonging to the same maximum connected set to that of the first primitive polynomial may be selected as a second primitive polynomial for the sidelink SSS.
For example, a single polynomial applied to the sidelink PSS among polynomials corresponding to octal 253, 271, 367, and 345 belonging to the maximum connected set 5 of Table 6 and a remaining single polynomial among the polynomials may be applied as primitive polynomials for the sidelink SSS. For example, if a polynomial corresponding to octal 253 is applied to the sidelink PSS, 253 and 271, 253 and 367, or 253 and 345 may be applied as the first and second primitive polynomials for the sidelink SSS.
For example, as shown in the following Equation 22, polynomials corresponding to octal 253 and 271 may be applied as the first and second primitive polynomials for the sidelink SSS. In this case, an initialization value for a sidelink PSS primitive polynomial may be applied to be identical to an initialization value for a downlink SSS primitive polynomial. Alternatively, another single initialization value may be applied.
x0(i+7)=(x0(i+5)+x0(i+3)+x0(i+1)+x0(i))mod 2
x1(i+7)=(x1(i+5)+x1(i+4)+x1(i+3)+x1(i))mod 2
[x0(6)x0(5)x0(4)x0(3)x0(2)x0(1)x0(0)]=[0000001]
[x1(6)x1(5)x1(4)x1(3)x1(2)x1(1)x1(0)]=[0000001] [Equation 22]
Here, a CS value for the sidelink SSS may use a portion of CS values for the downlink SSS.
That is, the first and second primitive polynomials as shown in Equation 22 or an additional example may be applied to the sidelink SSS, and a portion of m0={0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40} and m1={0, 1, . . . , 111} may be used as the CS value for the sidelink SSS.
For example, as shown in the above Equation 11, m0={0, 5, 15, 20} may be used. Here, m1={0, 1, . . . , 111} may be used for m0={0, 5} and m1={0, 1, . . . , 55} may be used for m0={15, 20}. Therefore, a number of possible combinations of m0 and m1 may correspond to a total of 336 (=2*112+2*56) SLIDs.
As an additional example, as shown in the above Equation 12, m0={0, 5, 10, 15} may be used. Here, m1={0, 1, . . . , 111} may be used for m0={0, 5} and m1={0, 1, . . . , 55} may be used for m0={10, 15}. Therefore, a number of possible combinations of m0 and m1 may correspond to a total of 336 (=2*112+2*56) SLIDs.
As an additional example, as shown in the above Equation 13, m0={0, 5, 15, 20} and m1={0, 1, . . . , 83} may be used. Therefore, a number of possible combinations of m0 and m1 may correspond to a total of 336 (=4*84) SLIDs.
As an additional example, as shown in Equation 14, m0={0, 5, 10, 15} and m1={0, 1, . . . , 83} may be used. Therefore, a number of possible combinations of m0 and m1 may correspond to a total of 336 (=4*84) SLIDs.
The present example describes an example of distinguishing a sidelink synchronization signal sequence from an NR downlink synchronization signal sequence by applying a different resource of a sidelink PSS or a sidelink SSS with respect to each type of a physical layer sidelink synchronization identity set (e.g., id_net and id_oon).
For example, with respect to id_net, a CS value for the sidelink SSS may be applied to be different from a CS value for a downlink SSS. Also, with respect to id_oon, a CS value for the sidelink PSS may be applied to be different from a CS value for the downlink PSS.
Sidelink PSS Resource (Example C1+C2-PSS)
A primitive polynomial and an initialization value for a sidelink PSS may be applied to be identical to those for a downlink PSS. Here, with respect to id_oon, a CS value for the sidelink PSS may be applied to be different from a CS value for the downlink PSS. Also, with respect to id_net, the CS value for the sidelink PSS may use a portion of CS values for the downlink PSS.
For example, although the same primitive polynomial and initialization value as Equation 8 may be applied to the sidelink PSS, the CS value for the sidelink PSS may be defined as CS=0 if NID(2)=0 (i.e., in the case of id_net) and CS=43+k if NID(2)=1 (i.e., in the case of id_oon) as represented by the following Equation 23. Here, although a value of k=21 or 22 may be given, it is provided as an example only.

Also, with respect to id_oon, the CS value for the sidelink SSS may use a portion of CS values for the downlink SSS.
That is, the primitive polynomial of Equation 9 may be applied to the sidelink SSS and the CS value may be applied as shown in the following examples.
For example, as shown in the following Equation 24, if NID(2)=1 (i.e., in the case of id_oon), m0={0, 15}, and if NID(2)=0 (i.e., in the case of id_net), m0={0+k, 15+k}. Also, m1={0, 1, . . . , 111} may be used for m0={0, 0+k} and m1={0, 1, . . . , 55} may be used for m0={15, 15+k}. Therefore, a number of possible combinations of m0 and m1 may correspond to a total of 336 (=2*112+2*56) SLIDs. Here, although a value of k=45 may be given, it is provided as an example only. For example, k may be a value that satisfies 15+k<112 among multiples of 5, greater than 40 (e.g., one of k={45, 50, 55, . . . , 95}).

The present example is identical to example C1-SSS among the aforementioned combinations of examples A1, B1, and C1 in terms of the primitive polynomial and the initialization value for the sidelink SSS and different therefrom in terms of examples of the CS value of the sidelink SSS. Therefore, a further description related to the corresponding description is omitted and examples of the present example about a CS value of the sidelink SSS are described.
For example, as shown in the above Equation 11, if a CS for a sidelink SSS is applied, m0={0, 5, 15, 20, 30, 35, 45, 50, 60, 65} may be used. Here, m1={0, 1, . . . , 111} may be used for m0={0, 5, 15, 20, 30, 35, 45, 50} and m1={0, 1, . . . , 55} may be used for m0={60, 65}. Therefore, a number of possible combinations of m0 and m1 may correspond to a total of 1008 (=8*112+2*56) SLIDs.
As an additional example, as shown in the above Equation 12, m0={0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45} may be used. Here, m1={0, 1, . . . , 111} may be used for m0 and m1={0, 1, . . . , 55} may be used for m0=140, 451. Therefore, a number of possible combinations of m0 and m1 may correspond to a total of 1008 (=8*112+2*56) SLIDs.
As an additional example, as shown in the above Equation 13, m0={0, 5, 15, 20, 30, 35, 45, 50, 60, 65, 75, 80} and m1={0, 1, . . . , 83} may be used. Therefore, a number of possible combinations of m0 and m1 may correspond to a total of 1008 (=12*84) SLIDs.
As an additional example, as shown in the above Equation 14, m0={0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55} and m1={0, 1, . . . , 83} may be used. Therefore, a number of possible combinations of m0 and m1 may correspond to a total of 1008 (=12*84) SLIDs.

Therefore, a number of possible combinations of m0 and m1 may correspond to a total of 1008 (=8*112+2*56) SLIDs. Here, k=45 may be given. For example, k may be a value that satisfies 65+k<112 among multiples of 5, greater than 40.
As an additional example, as shown in the above Equation 16, m0={0+k, 5+k, 10+k, 15+k, 20+k, 25+k, 30+k, 35+k, 40+k, 45+k} may be used.

The present example corresponds to example C3-PSS among the aforementioned combinations of examples A1, B1, and C3 and thus, a further description is omitted.
Although a primitive polynomial and an initialization value for the sidelink SSS may use the same polynomial as that for a downlink SSS, first and second primitive polynomials may be replaced with each other. For example, if first and second primitive polynomials applied to the downlink SSS are defined as polynomials corresponding to octal 221 and 203 of Table 5, respectively (see Equation 9), first and second primitive polynomials applied to the sidelink SSS may be defined as polynomials corresponding to octal 203 and 221 of Table 5, respectively.

For example, primitive polynomials used for the sidelink PSS and the sidelink SSS may be defined as primitive polynomials belonging to the same maximum connected set (see Table 6).
The present example of selecting one of polynomials belonging to the maximum connected set of Table 6 as a primitive polynomial for the sidelink PSS corresponds to example C4-PSS among the aforementioned combinations of examples A1, B1, and C4 and thus, a further description is omitted.

Also, in various examples of the present disclosure, an NR sidelink synchronization signal sequence may be distinguished from an NR downlink synchronization signal sequence by applying at least one of a CS value for a first NR-SSSS sequence and a CS value for a second NR-SSSS sequence to be distinguished from a CS value applied to the NR downlink synchronization signal sequence.
The sidelink synchronization signal sequence processing 1317 may be pre-aware of first and second primitive polynomials and a candidate CS value applicable to generate the first and second NR-SSSS sequences and thus, may verify a CS value applied to each NR-PSSS from each of the first and second NR-SSSS sequences and may calculate the value of NID(1) from the verified CS value and the value of NID(2).
The sidelink synchronization signal sequence processing 1317 may determine an SLID (or NIDSL) from the calculated values of NID(1) and NID(2).
Here, various examples of the present disclosure may include a case in which a physical layer sidelink synchronization identity set is configured using two types (e.g., id_net and id_oon in the example of
Also, various examples of the present disclosure may include a case in which each type of the physical layer sidelink synchronization identity set (e.g., each of id_net and id_oon, or each of id_net_1, id_net_2, and id_oon in the example of
The sidelink synchronization signal sequence processing 1317 may be pre-aware of a number of types of a physical layer sidelink synchronization identity set and a number of synchronization signal sequences included in each type of the identity set and thus, may determine an SLID value corresponding to the values of NID(1) and NID(2).
The aforementioned description made in the foregoing examples of the present disclosure may apply alike to an operation of the first terminal device 1200 and the second terminal device 1300 and thus, a further description is omitted.
In the example methods described above, processes are described as a series of operations based on a flowchart, aspects of the present disclosure are not limited to the illustrated order or sequence. Some operation may be processed in a different order or may be processed substantially simultaneously. Further, it will be understood that the illustrated operations in a flowchart do not necessarily exclude other operations, other operations may be included and one or more operations may be omitted without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure.
Various embodiments of the present disclosure are not all the possible combinations and are to explain the representative aspects of the present disclosure. Thus, it will be apparent that the descriptions made in various embodiments may apply independently or combination of at least two thereof.
Also, various embodiments of the present disclosure may be implemented by hardware, firmware, software, or combinations thereof. In the case of implementation by hardware, the embodiments may be implemented by one or more application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), digital signal processors (DSPs), digital signal processing devices (DSPDs), programmable logic devices (PLDs), field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), general processors, controllers, microcontrollers, microprocessors, etc.
