Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method and a device for transmitting a priority list reporting in a D2D communication system, the method comprising: configuring a plurality of sidelink logical channels with a respective priority; checking whether one or more priorities of sidelink logical channels configured to the UE change or not when a new sidelink logical channel is configured, or when a configured sidelink logical channel is released; triggering a priority list reporting including information of priority of sidelink logical channels configured for the UE currently if the UE considers that the one or more priorities of sidelink logical channels configured to the UE change; and transmitting the priority list reporting to an eNode-B.

Claims

1. A method for a user equipment (UE) operating in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

configuring a plurality of sidelink logical channels with a respective priority;

checking whether one or more priorities of sidelink logical channels configured to the UE change or not when a new sidelink logical channel is configured, or when one of the configured sidelink logical channels is released;

triggering a priority list reporting including information of priority of sidelink logical channels configured for the UE currently if the UE considers that the one or more priorities of sidelink logical channels configured to the UE change; and

transmitting the priority list reporting to an eNode-B.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the UE considers that the one or more priorities of sidelink logical channels configured to the UE change:

if a new sidelink logical channel with a first priority is configured to the UE and there wasn'"'"'t any other sidelink logical channel with the first priority already configured to the UE, or

if a configured sidelink logical channel with a second priority is released and there is no more sidelink logical channel with the second priority configured to the UE.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the priority is a ProSe Per-Packet Priority.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the UE considers that the one or more priorities of sidelink logical channels configured to the UE don'"'"'t change:

if a new sidelink logical channel with a first priority is configured to the UE and there was other sidelink logical channel with the first priority already configured to the UE, or

if a configured sidelink logical channel with a second priority is released and there is a sidelink logical channel with the second priority configured to the UE.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein if the UE considers that the one or more priorities of sidelink logical channels configured to the UE don'"'"'t change, the UE doesn'"'"'t trigger the priority list reporting.

6. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

checking whether a highest priority value among the one or more priorities of sidelink logical channels configured to the UE changes or not, when the UE checks whether the one or more priorities of sidelink logical channels configured to the UE change or not; and

triggering the priority list reporting if the highest priority value changes.

7. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

checking whether a lowest priority value among the one or more priorities of sidelink logical channels configured to the UE changes or not, when the UE checks whether the one or more priorities of sidelink logical channels configured to the UE change or not; and

triggering the priority list reporting if the lowest priority value changes.

8. The method according to claim 1, wherein the information of priority of sidelink logical channels configured for the UE currently includes:

priorities of all of the sidelink logical channels configured for the UE regardless of ProSe Group, or

at least one of a lowest priority or a highest priority among priorities of all of the sidelink logical channels configured for the UE regardless of ProSe Group, or

priorities of all of the sidelink logical channels of a ProSe Group and ProSe Group identifier, or

at least one of a lowest priority or a highest priority among priorities of all of the sidelink logical channels of a ProSe Group and ProSe Group identifier.

9. A User Equipment (UE) for operating in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a Radio Frequency (RF) module; and

a processor operably coupled with the RF module and configured to;

configure a plurality of sidelink logical channels with a respective priority,

check whether one or more priorities of sidelink logical channels configured to the UE changes or not when a new sidelink logical channel is configured, or when one of the configured sidelink logical channels,

trigger a priority list reporting including information of priority of sidelink logical channels configured for the UE currently if the UE considers that the one or more priorities of sidelink logical channels configured to the UE change, and

transmit the priority list reporting to an eNode-B.

10. The UE according to claim 9, wherein the UE considers that the one or more priorities of sidelink logical channels configured to the UE change:

if a new sidelink logical channel with a first priority is configured to the UE and there wasn'"'"'t any other sidelink logical channel with the first priority already configured to the UE, or

if a configured sidelink logical channel with a second priority is released and there is no more sidelink logical channel with the second priority configured to the UE.

11. The UE according to claim 9, wherein the priority is a ProSe Per-Packet Priority.

12. The UE according to claim 9, wherein the UE considers that the one or more priorities of sidelink logical channels configured to the UE don'"'"'t change:

if a new sidelink logical channel with a first priority is configured to the UE and there was other sidelink logical channel with the first priority already configured to the UE, or

if a configured sidelink logical channel with a second priority is released and there is a sidelink logical channel with the second priority configured to the UE.

13. The UE according to claim 12, wherein if the UE considers that the one or more priorities of sidelink logical channels configured to the UE don'"'"'t change, the UE doesn'"'"'t trigger the priority list reporting.

14. The UE according to claim 9, wherein the processor is further configured to:

check whether a highest priority value among the one or more priorities of sidelink logical channels configured to the UE changes or not, when the UE checks whether the one or more priorities of sidelink logical channels configured to the UE change or not, and

trigger the priority list reporting if the highest priority value changes.

15. The UE according to claim 9, wherein the processor is further configured to:

check whether a lowest priority value among the one or more priorities of sidelink logical channels configured to the UE change or not, when the UE checks whether the one or more priorities of sidelink logical channels configured to the UE change or not, and

trigger the priority list reporting if the lowest priority value changes.

16. The UE according to claim 9, wherein the information of priority of sidelink logical channels configured for the UE currently includes:

priorities of all of the sidelink logical channels configured for the UE regardless of ProSe Group, or

at least one of a lowest priority or a highest priority among priorities of all of the sidelink logical channels configured for the UE regardless of ProSe Group, or

priorities of all of the sidelink logical channels of a ProSe Group and ProSe Group identifier, or

at least one of a lowest priority or a highest priority among priorities of all of the sidelink logical channels of a ProSe Group and ProSe Group identifier.
