First, the UE may receive, from the base station, information for a resource pool related to narrowband sidelink communication (step S1405). In this case, the corresponding information may be delivered through higher layer signaling (e.g., RRC signaling) or a system information block (SIB). In this case, the corresponding information may include information for at least one of a resource pool index (e.g., an index indicative of the virtual resource pool #3 in
The UE may perform narrowband sidelink communication (with another UE) through at least one resource pool determined based on the received information and a specific hopping pattern (i.e., frequency hopping pattern) on the frequency domain (step S1410). In this case, the specific hopping pattern may be determined based on a hopping pattern (e.g., the MTC hopping pattern in
For example, another narrowband-based communication of the corresponding UE may be at least one of MTC supporting a plurality of repetition transmissions and/or narrowband NB-IoT communication.
Furthermore, if the specific hopping pattern is determined based on a hopping pattern configured for MTC (i.e., MTC hopping pattern), at least one resource pool used for narrowband sidelink communication may be configured based on a transmission unit (e.g., 6 RBs) of MTC.
