If a resource pool for narrowband sidelink communication is configured or set through the aforementioned method, there is an advantage in that a collision between a resource for narrowband sidelink communication and a resource for another narrowband-based communication (e.g., MTC, NB-IoT) can be minimized.

Furthermore, the complexity of an operation of a UE and overhead in terms of signaling can be reduced because a hopping pattern previously configured in the UE can be maintained and used without any change.

General Apparatus to which the Present Disclosure May be Applied

FIG. 16 illustrates a block diagram of a wireless communication apparatus to which methods proposed in the present disclosure may be applied.

Referring to FIG. 16, a wireless communication system includes a base station 1610 and multiple UEs 1620 located within the area of the base station 1610.

The base station 1610 includes a processor 1611, a memory 1612 and a radio frequency (RF) unit 1613. The processor 1611 implements the functions, processes and/or methods proposed in FIGS. 1 to 15. The layers of a radio interface protocol may be implemented by the processor 1611. The memory 1612 is connected to the processor 1611 and stores various types of information for driving the processor 1611. The RF unit 1613 is connected to the processor 1611 and transmits and/or receives a radio signal.

A UE 1620 includes a processor 1621, a memory 1622 and an RF unit 1623.
