## Abstract

An embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for performing beam search or beam transmission by a first UE in a wireless communication system, the method comprising the steps of: receiving location information from a second UE; and performing at least one of beam search and beam transmission for an area determined on the basis of the received location information, wherein one or more of a beam direction, a beam first search direction, and a beam width for the beam search or the beam transmission are determined according to one or more of a location, a speed, and a moving direction of the first UE, and a service and a required packet delay value for the first UE.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for performing beam searching or beam transmission by a first user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method. comprising:
receiving location information from a second UE; and
performing either or both of the beam searching and beam transmission for an area determined based on the received location information,
wherein at least one of a beam direction, a preferential beam searching direction, and a beam width the beam searching or beam transmission is determined according to at least one of a location, a speed, a moving direction, a service, and a packet latency requirement of the first UE,
wherein a frequency band in which the location information is received is lower than a frequency band in which the either or both of the beam searching and beam transmission is performed, and
wherein as e speed of the first UE increases, the beam width for the beam searching decreases.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the location information is included in control information.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the location information is valid only during timer period indicated by a time stamp transmitted together with the location information.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein when the first UE is in a parking lot, the beam direction includes all directions.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein when the first UE is on a highway, the preferential beam searching direction covers a smaller area than when the first UE is on a non-highway road.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein when the first UE is on a highway, the beam width is smaller than when the first UE is on a non-highway road.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the moving direction of the first UE changes the at least one of the beam direction, the preferential beam searching direction, and the beam width.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein when the service relates to a safety message, the beam width increases compared to when the service relates to other messages excluding the safety message.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein when the packet latency requirements low, the beam width decreases compared to when the packet latency requirement is high.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the first UE is a Vehicle User Equipment (VUE).

### Claim 11

A first user equipment for performing beam searching or beam transmission in a wireless communication system, the first UE comprising:
a transmitter;
a receiver; and
a processor,
wherein the processor configured to:
control the receiver to receive location information from a second UE, and
perform either or both of the beam searching and beam transmission for an area determined based on the received location information through the transmitter,
wherein at least one of a beam direction, a preferential beam searching direction, and a beam width for the beam searching or beam transmission is determined according to at least one of a location, a speed, a moving direction, a service, and a packet latency requirement of the first UE,
wherein a frequency band in which the location information is received s lower than a frequency band in which the either or both of the beam searching and beam transmission is performed, and
wherein as the speed of the first UE increases, the beam width for the beam searching decreases.
