Resource allocation method and device for supporting vehicle communication in next generation mobile communication system

Abstract

Disclosed are a communication technique for merging, with IOT technology, a 5G communication system for supporting a data transmission rate higher than that of a 4G system; and a system therefor. The present disclosure can be applied to intelligent services (for example, smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, healthcare, digital education, retail, security, and safety-related services, and the like) based on 5G communication technology and IoT-related technology. An apparatus and a method performed by a first terminal in a sidelink communication system are provided. The method includes establishing a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entity for a radio bearer based on a first sidelink PDCP protocol data unit (PDU); and setting state variables of the PDCP entity to an initial value based on the first sidelink PDCP PDU, wherein the state variables include an RX_NEXT indicating a next PDCP PDU and an RX_DELIV indicating a PDCP PDU not delivered to an upper layer, wherein the initial value of a sequence number of the RX_NEXT is set based on a sequence number of the first sidelink PDCP PDU for sidelink communication, and wherein the initial value of a sequence number of the RX_DELIV is set based on the sequence number of the first sidelink PDCP PDU for the sidelink communication.
