Abstract

Provided are a method by which a device performs V2X communication in a wireless communication system, and a device for supporting the same. The device receives event termination information from a terminal and can transmit the event termination information to a neighboring device. The terminal is provided in a vehicle for V2X communication, and the event termination information can be information indicating that an event occurring in the terminal has been terminated.

Claims

1. A method for performing, by a first road side unit (RSU), V2X communication in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving event occurrence information and a hop level, from a second RSU,

wherein the hop level is generated by the second RSU based on a type of the event occurrence information received from a first user equipment (UE);

decreasing of the received hop level by one;

when the decreased hop level is zero;

broadcasting the event occurrence information to a second UE in a coverage of the first RSU, and

wherein the event occurrence information and the decreased hop level are not transmitted to a third RSU located in a neighbor of the first RSU; and

when the decreased hop level is larger than zero;

broadcasting the event occurrence information to the second UE in the coverage of the first RSU, and

transmitting the event occurrence information and the decreased hop level to the third RSU,

wherein the first UE and the second UE are included in vehicles, and

wherein the second RSU and the third RSU are connected with the first RSU.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the type of the event occurrence information includes a range in which the event occurrence information is propagated.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving event termination information and the hop level, from the second RSU.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the event occurrence information and the hop level are transmitted by being included in at least one of an event indication message, a deallocate temporary mobile group identify (TMGI) request message, a modify multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) bearer request message, a deactivate MBMS bearer request message, an MBMS session update request message, an MBMS session stop request message, or a new message.

5. A first road side unit (RSU) performing V2X communication in a wireless communication system, the first RSU comprising:

a memory;

a transceiver; and

a processor operatively coupled to the memory and the transceiver, wherein the processor is configured to;

control the transceiver to receive event occurrence information and a hop level, from a second RSU,

wherein the hop level is generated by the second RSU based on a type of the event occurrence information received from a first user equipment (UE);

decrease of the received hop level by one;

when the decreased hop level is zero;

control the transceiver to broadcast the event occurrence information to a second UE in a coverage of the first RSU, and

wherein the event occurrence information and the decreased hop level are not transmitted to a third RSU located in a neighbor of the first RSU; and

when the decreased hop level is larger than zero;

control the transceiver to broadcast the event occurrence information to a second UE in a coverage of the first RSU, and

control the transceiver to transmit the event occurrence information and the decreased hop level to the third RSU,

wherein the first UE and the second UE are included in vehicles, and

wherein the second RSU and the third RSU are connected with the first RSU.

6. The first RSU of claim 5, wherein the type of the event occurrence information includes a range in which the event occurrence information is propagated.
