  • Publication number: 20200296678
    Abstract: Provided are a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT), with a transmission and receipt processing method and device for time-frequency synchronization between V2X terminals. When a synchronization signal to be transmitted is identical to a synchronization signal of an existing D2D terminal, time-frequency resources configured for the D2D terminal in a cell are reused to transmit the synchronization signal. When synchronization signal to be transmitted is different from a synchronization signal of an existing D2D terminal, reconfigured time-frequency resources are used to transmit the synchronization signal. The synchronization signal transmitted by a V2X terminal indicates a corresponding synchronization source type by using a value of an SLSS sequence index and/or a value of a PSBCH specified field.

  • Publication number: 20200084776
    Abstract: The present invention provides a control information transmission resource determining method in a D2D communication. In this method, a location of a subframe used for a SA transmission is determined in a SA resource pool by a TRP. In the subframe, a frequency domain resource used for the SA transmission occupies a part of symbols or PRBs in the entire subframe, and a location of the frequency domain resource is determined by a central control node assigning way, a randomly selecting way, a resource-hopping way or a mapping way between a time domain resource and a frequency domain resource. According to the method above, data transmission delay can be effectively reduced, data transmission reliability can be ensured, and V2X communication requirements can be achieved by small changes in a current system.
