5 Technical requirements of PC5 interface

5.1 Physical layer

5.1.1 Physical channel and modulation

5.1.1.1 General

5.1.1.1.1 Physical channel

The physical sidelink channel corresponds to a set of resource elements carrying information from higher layers. The sidelink contains the following physical channels.

——Physical Sidelink Shared Channel, PSSCH.

——Physical Sidelink Control Channel, PSCCH.

——Physical Sidelink Broadcast Channel, PSBCH.

Figure 1 specifies the processing procedure of baseband signal of physical sidelink channel.



Figure 1 Overview of processing procedure of baseband signal in physical sidelink channel

5.1.1.1.2 Physical signal

The physical sidelink signal is used by the physical layer but does not carry information from the higher layer. The sidelink contains the following physical signals:

——DMRS;

——Synchronization signal.

5.1.1.2 Time slot structure and physical resources

5.1.1.2.1 Radio frame structure

The transmission of sidelink is composed of radio frames with a length of Tf, and each radio frame contains 20 time slots with a length of Tslot. A sidelink subframe contains two contiguous time slots, starting from an even-numbered slot. Wherein, Tf=307200×Ts=10ms, Tslot=15360·Ts=0.5ms, Ts=1/(15000×2048). The sidelink radio frame structure is shown in Figure 2.


Figure 2 Sidelink radio frame structure

5.1.1.2.2 Resource grid

A physical sidelink channel or signal contains subcarriers and SC-FDMA symbols in a time slot. When the serving cell and the sidelink have the same uplink frequency and meet the S criterion according to 5.2.3.2 of 3GPP TS 36.304 (Release 14), the bandwidth of the sidelink is , and the bandwidth in other cases is a configurable value (defined in 5.5).

The PSSCH, PSCCH, PSBCH and synchronization signals of the sidelinks configured for transmission mode 3 and transmission mode 4 only support the normal cyclic prefix.

The resource grids are shown in Figure 3.



Figure 3 Sidelink resource grids

An antenna port is defined as the channel to which one symbol transmitted at the antenna port belongs, which may be inferred from the channel to which another symbol transmitted at the same antenna port belongs. Each antenna port corresponds to a resource grid, and the antenna ports used for physical channel or signal transmission are shown in Table 1.

Table 1 Antenna ports used for different physical channels and signals
Physical channel or signal Antenna port number
PSSCH 1000
PSCCH 1000
PSBCH 1010
Synchronization signal 1020

5.1.1.2.3 Resource elements

Every element in the resource grid is called a resource element, and (k, l) is uniquely indicated by an index in a time slot. Wherein, k=0, …, , l=0, …, represent the number in frequency domain and time domain respectively.

The resource element (k, l) on the antenna port p corresponds to a complex number , and the index pp may be omitted where no confusion will be caused or no specific antenna port is designated.

If a resource element is not used to transmit physical channel or physical signal, the value of shall be set to 0.

5.1.1.2.4 Resource block

A resource block is defined as contiguous SC-FDMA symbols and contiguous frequency-domain subcarriers in the time domain, see Table 2 for and . A physical resource block is composed of resource elements, which respectively correspond to a time slot in a time domain and 180kHz in a frequency domain.

Table 2 Physical resource block parameters
Configuration


Normal cyclic prefix 12 7
Extended cyclic prefix 12 6

The relationship between physical resource block number nPRB and the resource element (k, l) in a time slot is shown in Equation (1).

5.1.1.2.5 Resource pool

5.1.3 defines the subframe pool and resource block pool.

For PSSCH, the current time slot number in the subframe pool is , where i∈{0,1} is the number of the current time slot in the current sidelink subframe , k is equal to the footnote of , is defined by sidelink transmission mode 3 in 5.1.3.2.1.2 and by sidelink transmission mode 4 in 5.1.3.2.1.3.

5.1.1.2.6 Guard interval

The last SC-FDMA symbol of the sidelink subframe serves as a guard interval and cannot be used for the transmission of sidelink.

5.1.1.3 PSSCH

5.1.1.3.1 Scrambling

Bit blocks b(0), ..., b(Mbit-1) transmitted on PSSCH within a subframe (where Mbit is the number of transmitted bits) shall be scrambled according to 5.3.1 of 3GPP TS 36.211 (Release 14).

Scrambling sequence shall be initialized at the beginning of each PSSCH subframe according to , where, for sidelink transmission modes 3 and 4, , p and L are given in 5.1.1 of 3GPP TS 36.212 (Release 14), is equal to the decimal representation of CRC check code of PSCCH transmitted in the same subframe as PSSCH.

5.1.1.3.2 Modulation

Conduct modulation according to 5.3.2 of 3GPP TS 36.211 (Release 14). See Table 3 for the modulation mode of PSSCH.

Table 3 Modulation mode of PSSCH
Physical channel Modulation mode
PSSCH QPSK, 16QAM

5.1.1.3.3 Layer mapping

Conduct layer mapping according to 5.3.2A of 3GPP TS 36.211 (Release 14), assuming that there is only one antenna port with v=1.

5.1.1.3.4 Transform precoding

Conduct transform precoding according to 5.3.3 of 3GPP TS 36.211 (Release 14), and replace and with and respectively.

5.1.1.3.5 Pre-coding

Conduct pre-coding according to 5.3.3A of 3GPP TS 36.211 (Release 14), and it shall be assumed that there is only one antenna port with v=1.

5.1.1.3.6 Physical resource mapping

Multiply complex symbol blocks z(0), ..., z( ) by the amplitude scaling factor βPSSCH to adjust the transmission power PPSSCH (defined in 5.1.3.2.1.5), and then map to the physical resource blocks allocated to PSSCH for transmission on the antenna port p in a sequence from z(0). The mapping to the resource elements (k, l) starts from the first time slot of the subframe, and the index k is increased first, and then the index l is increased, wherein the resource elements (k, l) are those except for reference signal transmission in the above resource block for transmission. The resource elements of the last SC-FDMA symbol in a subframe need to be counted in the mapping procedure but cannot be used for transmission.

V2X communication does not support sidelink hopping, and the physical resource block for transmission is nPRB=n′VRB, where n′VRB is provided in 5.1.3.
