Abstract
A method performed by user equipment includes setting a content of a message in a physical sidelink broadcast channel (PSBCH) of a sidelink synchronization signal/physical sidelink broadcast channel (S-SS/PSBCH) block, including a content of 12 bits of the message to indicate a sidelink Time Division Duplex Configuration (sl-TDD-Config), and transmitting the S-SS/PSBCH block. The 12 bits includes 1 bit indicating whether a pattern 1 of a time division duplex Uplink Downlink Configuration Common (tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon) Time Division Duplex (TDD) configuration is used, or both of the pattern 1 and pattern 2 of the tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon TDD configuration are used. All of the 12 bits are set to '1' for a frequency division duplex (FDD), or for a spectrum indicated with a PC5 interface when at least the tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon is not provided in a System Information Block 1 (SIB1).
