The V2X communication is a basic technology and a key technology applied in a scene with a very high requirement on communication delay in the future, such as intelligent automobiles, automatic driving, intelligent transportation systems, and the like, for high-speed devices represented by vehicles.

To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present application, a few terms or expressions referred to in the present application will be briefly described below.

1. Transmission mode of V2X communication

The transmission method of V2X communication includes a broadcast method, a multicast method, and a unicast method.

The broadcasting mode is as follows: the sending end sends data in a broadcast mode, and all receiving ends can analyze Sidelink Control Information (SCI) and Sidelink Shared Channel (SSCH) information. In the sidelink (sidelink), the manner for ensuring that all terminal devices can analyze the control information may be: the control information data is not scrambled or uses a scrambling code known to all terminal devices.

The multicast mode is as follows: the multicast mode is similar to the broadcast mode, the data transmission is carried out by adopting the broadcast mode, and all receiving ends can analyze the control channel information and the side-link shared channel. The control information data is not scrambled or known scrambling codes of all terminal devices are used, multicast Identification (ID) is added in the control information, the terminal devices of the control information are analyzed, and whether the data need to be received is confirmed by identifying the multicast ID.

Unicast (unicast) mode: the method supports a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process, a sending end determines whether to retransmit according to the feedback of a receiving end, and coding adjustment is carried out according to a channel fed back by the receiving end.

2. Traffic type of V2X communication

In V2X communication, there are many services sent by a terminal device, including but not limited to: road safety traffic and non-road safety traffic.

Road safety service: the system is related to traffic safety, the service requirement real-time performance is high, and the system is required to transmit as soon as possible, for example, an emergency brake signal sent by a front vehicle, vehicle lane change information, a front emergency traffic accident danger avoidance notification and the like.

Non-road security class service: not directly related to road safety, such as: vehicle sensor information sharing, fleet information sharing, and the like.

As can be seen from the above, in V2X communication, the traffic includes a secure type traffic (i.e., a security-related traffic) which has a relatively strict delay requirement, and also includes a non-secure type traffic which has a relatively low delay requirement. In V2X communication, it also includes periodic traffic (traffic generation predictability, periodic transmission) and aperiodic traffic (traffic generation predictability is weak, not periodic transmission).

3. Communication mode for V2X communication

In the V2X communication, the communication mode of the terminal device may include PC5 interface-based communication and Uu interface-based communication.

The Uu interface based communication mode, which may also be referred to as a Uu communication mode or a Uu interface communication mode, indicates that V2X communication data needs to be transmitted through the mobile operator network when communication is performed through the Uu interface technology, i.e., network communication.

Based on the PC5 interface communication, which means that communication is performed by the PC5 interface technology, i.e., direct communication, V2X communication data is directly transmitted between terminal devices (V2X terminal devices), in other words, communication can be performed directly between terminal devices. The PC5 interface can be used under out of coverage (OOC) and In Coverage (IC), and authorized terminal devices transmit using the PC5 interface. The transmission link between the terminal device and the terminal device may also be referred to as a side link (sidelink) or a through link (side link).

4. Channel band for V2X communication

The channel frequency band for V2X includes the following two:

one is that the Uu interface and the terminal device share a frequency band, that is, a direct link between the terminal device and the terminal device, and the Uu interface between the terminal device and the network device share a frequency band in a time division or frequency division manner;

in another example, the single dedicated frequency band of V2X (e.g., the frequency point around 6G allocated in china, 20M spectrum), that is, the direct link between the terminal device and the terminal device is a single frequency band and is not shared with the Uu interface. The different systems can share the same signals, such as LTE-V2X and NR-V2X, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

5. Sidelink control signal SCI

Which may also be referred to as side link control information. Here, a sidelink or Sidelink (SL) refers to a transmission link between terminal devices. In SL, data transmission between terminal devices is not relayed through a network device. Such as system 200 shown in fig. 2.

6. Multiple access system

In a communication system, such as an LTE or NR system, two multiple access methods are included:

(1) single-carrier frequency-division multiple access (SC-FDMA): the process of realizing SC-FDMA is an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing multiple access technical scheme (DFT-OFDM) of discrete fourier transform spread spectrum, which is a single carrier frequency division multiple access scheme for generating signals in a frequency domain, and has the greatest advantage of better peak-to-average ratio and reduced requirement on an uplink transmitter. Transform precoding (NR) may also be referred to as NR.

(2) Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA): the transmission bandwidth is divided into a series of orthogonal non-overlapping subcarrier sets, and different subcarrier sets are allocated to different users, which may also be referred to as cyclic prefix orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CP-OFDM).

In some systems, such as in LTE systems, OFDMA is used for downlink and SC-FDMA is used for uplink; in some systems, such as the NR system, the downstream uses OFDMA and the upstream uses SC-FDMA or OFDMA, configured by the network. In some systems, such as in the LTE-V2X system, SC-FDMA is used.

It should be understood that the foregoing is illustrative only and that the present application is not limited thereto.

7. Data or data information

In the embodiments of the present application, "data" or "data information" may be understood as bits generated after an information block is coded, or "data" or "data information" may be understood as modulation symbols generated after the information block is coded and modulated. Data or data information may be carried over time-frequency resources, which may include resources in the time domain and resources in the frequency domain. In the time domain, the time-frequency resource may include one or more time-domain units (or may also be referred to as time units), and in the frequency domain, the time-frequency resource may include frequency-domain units or resource units.

One time domain unit (also referred to as a time unit) may be one symbol, or one mini-slot (mini-slot), or one slot (slot), or one subframe (subframe), where the duration of one subframe in the time domain may be 1 millisecond (ms), one slot may be composed of 7 or 14 symbols, and one mini-slot may include at least one symbol (e.g., 2 symbols or 7 symbols or 14 symbols, or any number of symbols less than or equal to 14 symbols).

Wherein, frequency domain unit or resource unit: the method can be used as a metering unit of the resource occupied by the resource in the time-frequency domain. In the embodiment of the present application, the resource unit may include, for example, a sub-channel bandwidth (sub-band), an RB, a resource block group (RB group, RBG) composed of one or more RBs, one or more RB pairs (RBpair), a half RB, 1/4 RBs, an RE group composed of one or more REs, and the like. In the NR protocol, one RB is composed of 12 consecutive subcarriers in the frequency domain and 14 consecutive symbols in the time domain. It should be understood that the above examples are illustrative only and should not be construed as limiting the present application in any way.

8. Time slot

In NR, a slot is a minimum scheduling unit of time. One slot format is to contain 14 OFDM symbols, and the Cyclic Prefix (CP) of each OFDM symbol is a normal CP (normal cyclic prefix). One slot format is to include 12 OFDM symbols, and the CP of each OFDM symbol is an extended cyclic prefix (extended CP). One slot format is to contain 7 OFDM symbols, with the CP of each OFDM symbol being a normal CP. The OFDM symbols in one slot may be all used for uplink transmission; can be used for downlink transmission; or one part can be used for downlink transmission, one part can be used for uplink transmission, and one part is reserved for no transmission. It should be understood that the above examples are illustrative only and should not be construed as limiting the present application in any way. The slot format is not limited to the above example for system forward compatibility considerations.

9. Resource scheduling for V2X communications

In PC5 interface based communications, the determination of the relevant communication channel resources may be selected based on a resource pool (or a default configured resource pool) configured by the network device (e.g., base station). Generally, V2X direct link transmission supports the following two modes:

mode 1(Mode 1): network device scheduling mode. The terminal device needs to be in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connected state. The terminal device first makes a resource request to the network device, and then the network device allocates control resources and data resources on the V2X direct link. Briefly, mode1 is based on the network device performing resource allocation and scheduling on the direct link.

Mode 2(Mode 2): the allocation of resources is not based on (Mode 1) scheduling or pre-configuration. The method mainly comprises the following steps:

(1) the terminal equipment selects the transmission resource of the straight-through link;

(2) the terminal equipment assists other terminal equipment to select transmission resources of the direct link;

(3) the terminal equipment is configured with some resources for transmission;

(4) the terminal device (which may act as a master terminal device, for example) schedules the direct links of other terminal devices.

For mode2, in order to acquire a transmission channel, the terminal device may perform idle channel estimation by any one of the following methods:

the method comprises the following steps: based on channel detection (otherwise known as sensing);

the method 2 comprises the following steps: based on energy detection (otherwise known as Listen Before Talk (LBT)).

The above two methods are briefly described below.

The method comprises the following steps: based on channel detection.

Based on the channel detection process (or called control channel detection based process), the current standard is called the sending process, and the main characteristics include: analyzing SCI on the control channel, wherein the purpose of the SCI is to acquire the occupation situation of the current channel (data channel and control channel) and the future occupation situation; the energy on the channels is calculated, the distance of the terminal equipment used by the channels is calculated, and in the case that no channel is available, the same channel is preferentially used by the terminal equipment far away from the channel. .

Parsing SCI on the control channel is based on the V2X traffic having a periodic basis, i.e. the terminal device listens for a detection time window of a certain length (e.g. 1 second). Parsing the SCI on the control channel, wherein the scheduling signaling comprises: the service period and the channels occupied by the service deduce which channels are occupied and which channels are idle in the next period of time from the monitoring time window.

After the detection time window is over, the terminal device deduces which time channels can be occupied, and the channel occupation and the data transmission time are not transmitted immediately, but a time is randomly selected to transmit in a channel selection time window, so that the data interference between the terminal devices can be reduced.

Fig. 3 shows a schematic diagram of V2X detecting a clear channel. As shown in fig. 3, it is assumed to include: channel 1, channel 2, channel 3, channel 4, channel 5, channel 6. And the terminal equipment determines that the following parameters are obtained by detecting SCI of each channel in a monitoring time window: channel 1, channel 2, channel 3 are already occupied and continue to be occupied at time 3 and time 4; channel 4, channel 5, channel 6 are not occupied within the monitoring time window. The terminal device can therefore conclude that channel 4, channel 5, channel 6 are available at

times

3 and 4.

The method 2 comprises the following steps: energy-based detection

The method based on energy detection is also called as LBT interception mechanism, namely within a certain window length, if the detected capability is lower than a certain threshold, the channel is considered to be idle and available, otherwise, the channel needs to be randomly backed off for a period of time, and interception is continued.

The third generation partnership project (3 GPP) has evaluated four channel access mechanisms:

the first is the LBT-free listening mechanism: some regions and countries do not mandate the implementation of LBT mechanism on unlicensed frequency bands.

The second is no random backoff LBT: a frame with a fixed duration, including the channel occupancy time and the idle time, is used to perform a Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) before data transmission is to be performed. If the channel is idle, the data transmission is carried out in the following channel occupation time, otherwise, the data can not be transmitted in the whole frame period. The length of time to determine whether a signal is idle before a transmitting side transmits data is determined.

The third is random backoff LBT with fixed length contention window: and a frame structure with an unfixed frame period is adopted, and a mode based on load change is adopted. The contention window is fixed in length, and an extended CCA (ECCA) is used, so that data transmission can be started immediately when a channel is detected to be idle, otherwise, the contention window, that is, a fixed number of ECCA windows, is to be entered.

The fourth is random backoff LBT with non-fixed length contention window: after detecting that the channel is occupied or the maximum transmission time is reached, the transmitting end enters a contention window. Instead of using a fixed length contention window, the sending end may change the length of the contention window. In the generation and use of the contention window, that is, before the terminal device performs the LBT listening mechanism, a random number M (M is greater than or equal to 0 and M is less than or equal to N) is generated from 0 to N (N is a configured value, N is greater than 0), and each time 1 timeslot is listened to as a channel idle, M is decremented by one until M is decremented to 0.

The 3GPP adopts the fourth LBT sensing mechanism (LBT CAT4), that is, random backoff LBT of non-fixed length contention window, as the basis of the access mechanism of the unlicensed-assisted access (LAA) downlink including the Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH). The second type (LBTCAT2) is used for detecting the Demodulation Reference Signal (DRS) before channel transmission. The LBT listening mechanism can ensure that LTE networks and other networks coexist and compete fairly.

In the embodiment of the present application, the clear channel assessment at least includes the above method 1 and method 2. Both method 1 and method 2 need to check the channel usage within a certain window time. For example, the sending mechanism is based on detecting control information of a control channel, and the time length can be 1 second; the LBT mechanism is based on energy detection, the time length can be randomly determined, and for brevity, the time windows detected in the above method 1 or method 2 are collectively referred to as detection time windows. Regardless of the method 1 or the method 2, after the detection time window is over, whether a channel is available is determined, and if the channel is available, the channel can be used to transmit data.

The following is collectively denoted by clear channel assessment.

As can be seen from the above, the resource acquisition method may be based on either the network device allocation method or the terminal device self-acquisition method. As can be seen from the foregoing, the traffic in V2X communication includes periodic traffic and aperiodic traffic, and then the surrounding traffic and aperiodic traffic acquisition resources may be based on a combination of long-period detection (or network device allocation) and short-period detection (or LBT).

Fig. 4 shows a schematic diagram of the ambient traffic and aperiodic traffic acquisition resources. In fig. 4, terminal a, terminal B, terminal C, and terminal E are taken as examples for explanation, and are respectively denoted as UE a, UE B, UE C, and UE E for distinction. It is assumed that UE a, UE B, and UE C periodically transmit a service, in other words, data of the periodic service is transmitted by UE a, UE B, and UE C; UE E transmits non-periodic traffic, in other words, data of non-periodic traffic is transmitted by UE E. As shown in fig. 4, the carrier resources are divided into two dimensions, i.e., a frequency domain and a time domain, where the frequency domain includes: subband (subband)1, subband 2, subband 3, the time domain includes: t1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8.

The UE a, the UE B, and the UE C send periodic services (such as periodic broadcast signals), and the terminal devices respectively obtain service resources of corresponding parts through long-term detection. For example, the frequency domain resource acquired by UE a includes subband 2, and the time domain includes: t1, T4, T7. And when the transmitting end transmits the SCI, the transmitting end broadcasts the resource reservation message to other terminal equipment.

UE E sends aperiodic service, and after detecting the reserved resources of UE A, UE B and UE C, finds the vacant resources, for example, the frequency domain resources include sub-band 3, time domain resources T3 and T6. UE E needs to first send resource reservation information (frequency domain resource subband 3 and time domain resource T6) on frequency domain resource subband 3 and time domain resource T3, and send data on frequency domain resource subband 3 and time domain resource T6.

As can be seen from the above, for the UE E sending aperiodic traffic, it is necessary to detect a longer time of channel detection, so as to increase the power consumption of the terminal device, on one hand, increase the computation amount of the terminal device, and on the other hand, increase the time delay of the aperiodic traffic, which is not favorable for the data transmission performance.

In view of this, the present application provides a method for transmitting data, which can shorten the time for channel detection, thereby improving the data transmission performance.

In addition, in order to facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present application, the following description is made.

steps

210, 220, each of which is described in detail below.

And 210, the terminal equipment acquires the information of the resource pool 1 and the resource pool 2.

On a specific carrier, resources can be configured into two parts according to the resource acquisition mode, and for distinction, the two parts are marked as a resource pool 1 and a resource pool 2. The network device may divide the carrier into two parts according to a frequency domain or a time domain, that is, the network device may divide a resource pool 1 (which may be referred to as a first resource pool, for example) and a resource pool 2 (which may be referred to as a second resource pool, for example) in units (or units) of the time domain or the frequency domain.

The resource in the resource pool 1 belongs to a resource allocated by the network device, and may be a resource allocated in advance, or may be a resource allocated based on a request of the terminal device. In other words, if the terminal device is to use the resource of resource pool 1 to transmit data, the resource can be obtained based on Mode1, e.g., the terminal device can request the network device for the resource, and the network device allocates the resource in resource pool 1 to the terminal device so that the terminal device can transmit data.

The resources on resource pool 2 do not belong to the resources allocated by the network device, or the resources on resource pool 2 may also be referred to as unreserved resources, in other words, if the terminal device is to use the resources of resource pool 2 to transmit data, the resources may be acquired based on Mode 2. For example, the terminal device may perform clear channel assessment in order for the terminal device to transmit data. Wherein, as described above, the clear channel assessment includes based on channel detection (alternatively referred to as sensing) or based on energy detection (alternatively referred to as LBT).

The following describes in detail the manner in which the resource pool 1 and the resource pool 2 are divided, and the manner in which the terminal device acquires the information of the resource pool 1 and the resource pool 2.

220, the terminal equipment uses the resources in the resource pool 1 to send first data; and/or the terminal equipment transmits the second data by using the resources in the second resource pool.

Optionally, the first data requires a higher transmission quality and the second data requires a lower transmission quality.

It should be understood that the first data and the second data are only named for distinguishing and do not limit the scope of the embodiments of the present application.

In the embodiment of the present application, a service with a higher transmission quality requirement may be denoted as a first service, and configured on the resource pool 1, that is, the resource in the resource pool 1 is used to transmit data of the first service; the service with lower transmission quality requirement may be denoted as a second service, and configured on the resource pool 2, that is, the resource in the resource pool 2 is used to transmit data of the second service. The transmission quality requirement may be determined according to a transmission quality requirement threshold, for example, a ProSe Per-Packet Priority (PPPP) value, or a quality of service (QoS) flow identifier (QoS flow ID, QFI) value, which reflects a service quality requirement.

For example, the first traffic may be a road safety class traffic, or the first traffic may be a road periodicity class traffic. For another example, the second service may be a non-road safety service, or the second service may also be a non-periodic service.

It should be understood that the first service and the second service are only names for distinguishing and do not limit the scope of the embodiments of the present application.

The way in which the resource pool 1 and the resource pool 2 are divided will be described in detail below.

The network device may divide the resource pool 1 and the resource pool 2 by using a time domain or a frequency domain as a unit (or as a unit), and hereinafter, a manner of dividing the network device is described by using the time domain as a unit, it should be understood that the division by the frequency domain is similar, and details are not described here.

Two methods for dividing a resource pool 1 and a resource pool 2 by using a time domain as a unit are introduced by taking a time unit as a subframe and a time unit as a time slot as examples.

The network device may divide the resource into resource pool 1 and resource pool 2 by any of the following methods.

Method 1

The carrier resources are configured into two parts, namely a resource pool 1 and a resource pool 2, with subframes (subframes) as units, wherein the resource pool 1 comprises reserved resources or reserved subframe groups, and the resource pool 2 comprises unreserved resources or unreserved subframe groups.

As exemplified in connection with fig. 6. As shown in fig. 6, a specific radio frame (radio frame) includes two parts, one part is a radio frame including resource pool 2, i.e., radio frame 0 and radio frame 4; the other part is radio frames that do not contain resource pool 2, i.e., radio frames belonging to resource pool 1, i.e., radio frame 1, radio frame 2, and radio frame 3.

It should be understood that the specific radio frame is named for distinction only, and the name does not limit the scope of the embodiments of the present application (e.g., it may be a subframe, a slot, or a symbol).

It should also be understood that the radio frame containing resource pool 2 indicates that the radio frame contains the resources in resource pool 2, that is, the radio frame contains unreserved subframes; the radio frame not including the resource pool 2 indicates that the radio frame does not include the resources in the resource pool 2, that is, the radio frame does not include the unreserved subframes. And will not be described in detail below.

The carrier resources are configured into two parts by taking a subframe as a unit. As shown in fig. 6, radio frames 0 and 4, and

radio frames

0 and 4 each include subframes of resource pool 2. Taking a radio frame 0 as an example, configuring a subframe 4, a subframe 5, a subframe 6 and a subframe 7 as a non-reserved subframe or a subframe of the resource pool 2, wherein the subframe 4, the subframe 5, the subframe 6 and the subframe 7 form a non-reserved subframe group, that is, the subframe 4, the subframe 5, the subframe 6 and the subframe 7 belong to the resource pool 2; and configuring the subframe 0, the subframe 1, the subframe 2, the subframe 3, the subframe 8 and the subframe 9 as a subframe of a reserved subframe or a resource pool 1, wherein the subframe 0, the subframe 1, the subframe 2, the subframe 3, the subframe 8 and the subframe 9 form a reserved subframe group, namely the subframe 0, the subframe 1, the subframe 2, the subframe 3, the subframe 8 and the subframe 9 belong to the resource pool 1. In other words, the network device divides the radio frame 0 into two parts, one part is an unreserved subframe group consisting of subframe 4, subframe 5, subframe 6, and subframe 7, i.e., resource pool 2, and the other part is a reserved subframe group consisting of subframe 0, subframe 1, subframe 2, subframe 3, subframe 8, and subframe 9, i.e., resource pool 1.

It should be understood that the foregoing has been described by taking subframe 4, subframe 5, subframe 6, and subframe 7 as the resource pool 2, and subframe 0, subframe 1, subframe 2, subframe 3, subframe 8, and subframe 9 as the resource pool 1, but the present application is not limited thereto, and the resource pool 1 may include more subframes, and the resource pool 2 may also include more subframes.

Method 2

The carrier resource is configured into two parts, namely a resource pool 1 and a resource pool 2, with a slot as a unit, wherein the resource pool 1 comprises reserved resources or reserved slot groups, and the resource pool 2 comprises unreserved resources or unreserved slot groups.

As exemplified in connection with fig. 7. As shown in fig. 7, the specific subframe includes two parts, one part is a subframe including resource pool 2, i.e., subframe 0 and subframe 4; the other part is a subframe not containing resource pool 2, i.e., a subframe belonging to resource pool 1, i.e., subframe 1, subframe 2, and subframe 3.

It should be understood that the specific subframes are named for distinguishing purposes only, and the names of the specific subframes do not limit the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present application (for example, the specific subframes may be slots or symbols).

It should also be understood that a subframe containing resource pool 2 means that the subframe contains the resources in resource pool 2, that is, the subframe contains the unreserved time slot; the subframe not including resource pool 2 means that the subframe does not include the resource in resource pool 2, that is, the subframe does not include the unreserved slot.

The carrier resources are configured into two parts by taking a time slot as a unit. As shown in fig. 7 for

sub-frames

0 and 4,

sub-frames

0 and 4 each include a slot of resource pool 2. Taking subframe 0 as an example, time slot 0, time slot 1, time slot 2, and time slot 3 are configured as time slots or unreserved time slots of resource pool 2, time slot 0, time slot 1, time slot 2, and time slot 3 constitute an unreserved time slot group, i.e., time slot 0, time slot 1, time slot 2, and time slot 3 belong to resource pool 2; the time slot 4, the time slot 5, the time slot 6 and the time slot 7 are configured as the time slots or reserved time slots of the resource pool 1, the time slot 4, the time slot 5, the time slot 6 and the time slot 7 form a reserved time slot group, namely the time slot 4, the time slot 5, the time slot 6 and the time slot 7 belong to the resource pool 1. In other words, the network device divides subframe 0 into two parts, one part is an unreserved slot group consisting of slot 0, slot 1, slot 2, and slot 3, i.e., resource pool 2, and the other part is a reserved slot group consisting of slot 4, slot 5, slot 6, and slot 7, i.e., resource pool 1.

It should be understood that the above description has been given by taking the example where the timeslot 0, timeslot 1, timeslot 2, and timeslot 3 constitute the resource pool 2, and the timeslot 4, timeslot 5, timeslot 6, and timeslot 7 constitute the resource pool 1, but the present application is not limited thereto, and the resource pool 1 may include more timeslots, and the resource pool 2 may also include more timeslots.

The manner in which the terminal device acquires the information of resource pool 1 and resource pool 2 in step 210 will be described below.

The terminal device may obtain the information of the resource pool 1 and the resource pool 2 in any one of the following manners.

In mode1, the network device may send indication information indicating a part of resources (i.e., resource pool 1 or resource pool 2), and the terminal device may deduce information of another part of resources (i.e., resource pool 2 or resource pool 1) according to the indication information.

For example, the network device may send indication information indicating resource pool 1, and the terminal device may determine information of resource pool 1 and infer information of resource pool 2 according to the indication information. For another example, the network device may send indication information indicating resource pool 2, and the terminal device may determine information of resource pool 2 and infer information of resource pool 1 according to the indication information.

In the mode2, the network device sends indication information for indicating the resource pool 1 and the resource pool 2, and the terminal device can determine the information of the resource pool 1 and the resource pool 2 according to the indication information.

For example, the network device sends indication information to the terminal device, indicating the position of the subframe in resource pool 1 and the position of the subframe in resource pool 2, or indicating the position of the slot in resource pool 2 and the position of the slot in resource pool 2.

Optionally, in the two manners, the indication information may be sent to the terminal device through a separate signaling; alternatively, the indication information may be transmitted to the terminal device together with the configuration information. In a possible implementation manner, the network device may broadcast the configuration information of resource pool 1 and resource pool 2 to all terminal devices in the cell.

Optionally, the indication information may be sent on a subframe of resource pool 1 or a time slot of resource pool 1, and may be sent at a certain period.

The following mainly describes the above mode 1.

The information of the resource pool 1 and the resource pool 2 can be indicated by means of a bitmap. The following description will be made in conjunction with the above two different cases.

Case 1: the carrier resources are configured into two parts by taking a subframe as a unit.

And representing a specific radio frame by using a bitmap with M bits, wherein the specific radio frame represents the radio frame containing the resource pool 2, and the M bits represent M radio frames, and M is an integer greater than 0. In the specific radio frame, a radio frame containing resource pool 2 may be represented by 1, and a radio frame not containing resource pool 2 may be represented by 0; alternatively, a radio frame including resource pool 2 may be denoted by 0, and a radio frame not including resource pool 2 may be denoted by 1.

And representing the subframes belonging to the resource pool 2 in the radio frame by using a bitmap with N bits, wherein the N bits represent N subframes, and N is an integer greater than 0. In the radio frame, 1 may be used to indicate that the subframe is a subframe in

resource pool

2, and 0 may be used to indicate that the subframe is not a subframe in resource pool 2; alternatively, 0 may be used to indicate that the subframe is a subframe in

resource pool

2, and 1 may be used to indicate that the subframe is not a subframe in resource pool 2.

As exemplified in connection with fig. 6. As shown in fig. 6, M is 5, N is 10, and the allocation of radio frames with a length of 50ms is represented by 5 bits. Assuming that radio frame 0 and radio frame 4 in a specific radio frame contain unreserved subframes (i.e., subframes in resource pool 2), the specific radio frame may be represented by a 5-bit bitmap.

In one possible implementation, 1 indicates a radio frame containing

resource pool

2, and 0 indicates a radio frame not containing resource pool 2, then the specific radio frame may be represented as 10001. Accordingly, the terminal device determines that the radio frames 0 and 4 are the radio frames including the resource pool 2 according to the representation 10001 of the specific radio frame. Moreover, the ue may conclude that the remaining radio frames, i.e., radio frame 1, radio frame 2, and radio frame 3, are radio frames that do not include resource pool 2.

In another possible implementation, 0 represents a radio frame with

resource pool

2, and 1 represents a radio frame without resource pool 2, then the specific radio frame may be denoted as 01110. Accordingly, the terminal device determines radio frame 0 and radio frame 4 as radio frames including resource pool 2 according to the representation 01110 of the specific radio frame. Moreover, the ue may conclude that the remaining radio frames, i.e., radio frame 1, radio frame 2, and radio frame 3, are radio frames that do not include resource pool 2.

Assuming that the subframes belonging to resource pool 2 in radio frame 0 or radio frame 4 include subframe 4, subframe 5, subframe 6, and subframe 7, the subframes belonging to resource pool 2 in radio frame 0 or radio frame 4 may be represented by a 10-bit bitmap.

In one possible implementation, 1 indicates that the subframe belongs to resource

pool

2, and 0 indicates that the subframe does not belong to resource pool 2, then the subframe may be represented as 0000111100 for radio frame 0 or radio frame 4. Accordingly, the terminal device determines that subframe 4, subframe 5, subframe 6, and subframe 7 belong to resource pool 2 according to representation 0000111100 of radio frame 0 or radio frame 4, that is, subframe 4, subframe 5, subframe 6, and subframe 7 are unreserved subframes. Also, the terminal device may conclude that subframe 0, subframe 1, subframe 2, subframe 3, subframe 8, and subframe 9 in the radio frame 0 or radio frame 4 do not belong to resource pool 2, i.e., subframe 0, subframe 1, subframe 2, subframe 3, subframe 8, and subframe 9 belong to resource pool 1.

In yet another possible implementation, 0 indicates the resource pool 2 to which the subframe belongs, and 1 indicates the resource pool 2 to which the subframe does not belong, and the subframe may be represented as 1111000011 for radio frame 0 or radio frame 4. Accordingly, the terminal device determines that subframe 4, subframe 5, subframe 6, and subframe 7 belong to resource pool 2 according to representation 1111000011 of radio frame 0 or radio frame 4, that is, subframe 4, subframe 5, subframe 6, and subframe 7 are unreserved subframes. Also, the terminal device may conclude that subframe 0, subframe 1, subframe 2, subframe 3, subframe 8, and subframe 9 in the radio frame 0 or radio frame 4 do not belong to resource pool 2, i.e., subframe 0, subframe 1, subframe 2, subframe 3, subframe 8, and subframe 9 belong to resource pool 1.

It should be understood that the terminal device determines the information of the resource pool 2 according to the received information indicating the resource pool 2, and deduces the information of the resource pool 1. The present application is not limited thereto. For example, the terminal device may determine the information of the resource pool 1 according to the received information, and then infer the information of the resource pool 2. In other words, the network device may send information indicating resource pool 1, from which the terminal device determines information of resource pool 1 and infers information of resource pool 2.

Case 2: the carrier resources are configured into two parts by taking a time slot as a unit.

And using M-bit bitmap to represent a specific subframe, wherein the specific subframe represents a subframe containing a resource pool 2, and the M-bit bitmap represents M subframes, wherein M is an integer greater than 0. In the specific subframe, a subframe containing resource pool 2 may be represented by 1, and a subframe not containing resource pool 2 may be represented by 0; alternatively, a subframe including resource pool 2 may be denoted by 0, and a subframe not including resource pool 2 may be denoted by 1.

And representing the time slot belonging to the resource pool 2 in the subframe by using a bitmap with N bits, wherein the N bits represent N time slots, and N is an integer greater than 0. In the subframe, 1 may indicate that the timeslot is a timeslot of

resource pool

2, and 0 may indicate that the timeslot is not a timeslot of resource pool 2; alternatively, 0 may indicate that the slot is a slot of

resource pool

2, and 1 may indicate that the slot is not a slot of resource pool 2.

As exemplified in connection with fig. 7. As shown in fig. 7, M is 5, N is 8, and 5 bits are used to indicate the specific subframe allocation with a length of 5 ms. Assuming that subframe 0 and subframe 4 in a specific subframe contain slots of resource pool 2, the specific subframe may be represented by a bitmap of 5 bits.

In one possible implementation, 1 indicates a subframe containing

resource pool

2, and 0 indicates a subframe not containing resource pool 2, the specific subframe may be designated as 10001. Accordingly, the terminal device determines subframe 0 and subframe 4 as subframes containing resource pool 2 according to the representation 10001 of the specific subframe. And, the terminal device may infer that the remaining subframes, subframe 1, subframe 2, and subframe 3, are subframes that do not contain resource pool 2.

In yet another possible implementation, 0 represents a subframe containing a slot of

resource pool

2, and 1 represents a subframe containing no slot of resource pool 2, then the specific subframe may be denoted as 01110. Accordingly, the terminal device determines subframe 0 and subframe 4 as subframes containing resource pool 2 according to the representation 01110 of the specific subframe. And, the terminal device may infer that the remaining subframes, subframe 1, subframe 2, and subframe 3, are subframes that do not contain resource pool 2.

Assuming that the slots belonging to resource pool 2 in subframe 0 or subframe 4 include slot 0, slot 1, slot 2, and slot 3, subframe 0 or subframe 4 may be represented by an 8-bit bitmap.

In one possible implementation, 1 indicates that the slot is a slot of

resource pool

2, and 0 indicates that the slot is not a slot of resource pool 2, then the slot may be indicated as 11110000 for subframe 0 or subframe 4. Accordingly, the terminal device determines that slot 0, slot 1, slot 2, and slot 3 belong to resource pool 2 according to the indication 11110000 of subframe 0 or subframe 4, i.e., slot 0, slot 1, slot 2, and slot 3 are unreserved slots. And, the terminal device may conclude that slot 4, slot 5, slot 6, and slot 7 in subframe 0 or subframe 4 belong to resource pool 1, i.e., slot 4, slot 5, slot 6, and slot 7 belong to reserved slots.

In yet another possible implementation, 0 indicates that the slot is a slot of

resource pool

2, 1 indicates that the slot is not a slot of resource pool 2, and the slot may be represented as 00001111 for subframe 0 or subframe 4. Accordingly, the terminal device determines that slot 0, slot 1, slot 2, and slot 3 belong to resource pool 2 according to the representation 00001111 of subframe 0 or subframe 4, i.e., slot 0, slot 1, slot 2, and slot 3 are unreserved slots. And, the terminal device may conclude that slot 4, slot 5, slot 6, and slot 7 in subframe 0 or subframe 4 belong to resource pool 1, i.e. slot 4, slot 5, slot 6, and slot 7 are reserved slots.

It should also be understood that the specific subframes mentioned in the above two cases are only exemplary and the present application is not limited thereto.

The procedure for the terminal device to perform clear channel assessment on resource pool 1 is described in detail below. For the sake of understanding, the exemplary illustration is that the terminal device performs LBT (or referred to as energy-based detection, hereinafter collectively referred to as LBT) and sending (or referred to as channel-based detection, hereinafter collectively referred to as sending) on the resource pool 1, respectively.

1. The terminal device performs LBT on resource pool 1.

As exemplified in connection with fig. 8. Assume that resource pool 2 includes: subframe 1, subframe 2, subframe 3, subframe 4, subframe 5, subframe 6, subframe 7, and subframe 8, the resource pool 1 including: subframe 0 and subframe 9. Taking terminal device a as an example, terminal device a starts LBT listening in subframe 1, and since subframe 9 does not belong to resource pool 2, there are at most 8 subframes, that is, subframes 1 to 8, which can send data. In other words, the terminal a performs LBT from the position of the subframe 1, and the longest transmission duration of the terminal a is 8 subframes, i.e. subframe 1 to subframe 8. Assuming that one subframe is 1ms, the longest transmission duration of terminal device a is 7 ms. Taking terminal device B as an example, terminal device B starts LBT listening in subframe 7, and since subframe 9 does not belong to resource pool 2, there are at most 2 subframes, that is, subframes 7 to 8, which can send data. In other words, terminal B performs LBT from the position of subframe 7, and the longest transmission duration of terminal B is 2 subframes, i.e. subframe 7 to subframe 8. Assuming that one subframe is 1ms, the longest transmission duration of terminal device B is 2 ms.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the present application, the terminal device performs idle channel estimation in the subframe i, which may refer to that the terminal device starts to perform idle channel estimation at a start position of the subframe i, or that the terminal device starts to perform idle channel estimation at an intermediate position of the subframe i, or that the terminal device starts to perform idle channel estimation at any position of the subframe i, and this is not limited in this embodiment of the present application. Wherein i is 0,1,2,3, … …,9, … …. For example, taking idle channel estimation as LBT, the terminal device may perform LBT in subframe i, where the LBT is started by the terminal device at the start position of subframe i, or the LBT is started by the terminal device at the middle position of subframe i, or the LBT is started by the terminal device at any position of subframe i, and this is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

Before the terminal device performs LBT, a random number X is randomly generated from 0 to T according to a contention window parameter T (or called a detection time window T, which is described above and is not described herein again) configured by the network device, and the terminal device can acquire the permission to send data only when detecting at least X idle time slots (having a specific time length, and a specific data system setting, for example, may be 16 us). The random number X is a parameter related to LBT, and for brevity, the random number X is referred to as an LBT parameter in this application.

Alternatively, the LBT parameter may be associated with the maximum transmission duration, that is, the LBT parameter may be associated with the remaining number of subframes of the resource pool 2 (or the number of subframes of the remaining resource pool 2). For example, the smaller the number of remaining subframes of the resource pool 2, i.e. the shorter the remaining time or the shortest maximum transmission duration, the smaller the parameter T.

If the terminal device only generates the LBT parameters according to the contention window parameter T, i.e. randomly generates a random number X from 0 to T, the LBT time may be too long, resulting in a short data transmission time. Such as terminal device B in fig. 8. Thus, by associating the LBT parameter with the maximum transmission duration, the above-mentioned problems can be avoided.

Optionally, in the LBT process of the terminal device, when the subframe boundary of the resource pool 2 is reached, whether to stop LBT or whether to suspend LBT is determined according to the remaining number of subframes or the maximum transmission duration of the resource pool 2.

Specifically, as can be seen from the above, resource pool 1 and resource pool 2 are adjacent, i.e., the subframe of resource pool 2 has a boundary. In the LBT process of the terminal device, when the boundary of the subframe of the resource pool 2 is reached, if the parameter X of the LBT is still greater than 0 (i.e., no channel is acquired), that is, no idle channel is acquired currently, the terminal device may adopt any one of the following methods.

The method comprises the following steps: LBT is directly stopped, and random number X is generated again to carry out LBT again.

In the LBT process of the terminal device, when the boundary of the subframe of the resource pool 2 is reached, if X is still greater than 0, that is, no idle channel is currently acquired, LBT may be directly stopped. And when the subframe of the next resource pool 2 starts, the random number X is generated again and LBT is carried out.

The method 2 comprises the following steps: LBT was directly stopped and resumed following the previously generated random number X.

In the LBT process of the terminal device, when the boundary of the subframe of the resource pool 2 is reached, if X is still greater than 0, that is, no idle channel is currently acquired, LBT may be directly stopped. Waiting until the beginning of the subframe of the next resource pool 2, LBT is performed again using the previously generated M.

The method 3 comprises the following steps: the LBT is suspended (or suspended) and continues to be performed until the beginning of the next subframe of resource pool 2.

In the LBT process of the terminal device, when the boundary of the subframe of the resource pool 2 is reached, if X is still greater than 0, that is, no idle channel is currently acquired, the LBT may be suspended or suspended. Waiting until the beginning of the subframe of the next resource pool 2, the previously suspended or suspended LBT is continued.

The method 4 comprises the following steps: whether to suspend LBT is determined based on the GAP (GAP).

The interval, which may also be referred to as a time interval or a suspension interval, is an interval from when a boundary of a subframe of the resource pool 2 is reached to when a subframe of the next resource pool 2 starts in the LBT process of the terminal device. It can also be understood as the interval from the suspension of LBT to the beginning of the next subframe of resource pool 2 if LBT is to be suspended.

In the LBT process of the terminal device, when the boundary of the subframe of the resource pool 2 is reached, if X is still greater than 0, that is, no idle channel is currently acquired, and the time (that is, the interval) for which LBT is to be suspended is calculated. If the interval is smaller than the preset threshold, the method 3 can be adopted, namely the LBT is suspended; if the interval is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the method 1 or the method 2 may be adopted. The preset threshold may be preset, or a protocol is predefined, which is not limited in this application. The benefit of this may be to address scenarios such as: when the GAP time is too long and the vehicle runs far, the previous LBT result can not be used as reference. Alternatively, in some scenarios, such as assisted driving or advanced driving assistance systems, smart driving, smart internet driving, etc., the length of the GAP may be associated with the vehicle, e.g., the higher the vehicle speed the smaller the GAP, the higher the vehicle speed the larger the GAP.

2. The terminal device performs sending on resource pool 1.

When the terminal device performs sending on resource pool 1, the detection time window may be a certain value (e.g., X ═ 1s) or a channel selection time window (e.g., Y ═ 5ms), or the time of the detection time window may be associated with the maximum transmission duration, that is, X or Y may be associated with the remaining number of subframes of resource pool 2 (or the number of subframes of remaining resource pool 2). For example, the smaller the number of remaining subframes of the resource pool 2, i.e. the shorter the remaining time or the shortest maximum transmission duration, the smaller the parameters X and/or Y.

Optionally, in the process of sending by the terminal device, when the subframe boundary of the resource pool 2 is reached, whether to stop sending or whether to suspend is determined according to the remaining number of subframes or the maximum transmission duration of the resource pool 2.

Specifically, as can be seen from the above, resource pool 1 and resource pool 2 are adjacent, i.e., the subframe of resource pool 2 has a boundary. In the sending process of the terminal device, when the boundary of the subframe of the resource pool 2 is reached, if the parameter Y is still greater than 0 (that is, no channel is acquired), that is, no idle channel is acquired currently, the terminal device may adopt any one of the following methods.

The method comprises the following steps: directly stopping the sending process, and subsequently, restarting the sending process.

In the process of sending by the terminal device, when the boundary of the subframe of the resource pool 2 is reached, if X is still greater than 0, that is, the idle channel is not currently acquired, the channel detection process can be directly stopped. Waiting until the beginning of the subframe of the next resource pool 2, the sending process is restarted.

The method 2 comprises the following steps: the sending process is suspended (or suspended) and continues to be performed when the subframe of the next resource pool 2 starts.

In the process of sending by the terminal device, when the boundary of the subframe of the resource pool 2 is reached, if X is still greater than 0, that is, no idle channel is currently acquired (or channel availability determination cannot be performed), the sending process may be suspended or suspended. Waiting until the start of the subframe of the next resource pool 2, the sending procedure, which was previously suspended or suspended, is continued.

The method 3 comprises the following steps: it is determined whether the sending process is suspended according to the GAP (GAP).

The interval, which may also be referred to as a time interval or a suspension interval, is an interval from when the terminal device reaches the boundary of the subframe of resource pool 2 to when the next subframe of resource pool 2 starts in the process of sending. It can also be understood as the interval from suspending the sending procedure to the beginning of the subframe of the next resource pool 2 if the sending procedure is to be suspended.

In the process of sending by the terminal device, when the boundary of the subframe of the resource pool 2 is reached, if X is still greater than 0, that is, no idle channel is currently acquired, the time (that is, the interval) when sending is to be suspended is calculated. If the interval is smaller than the preset threshold, the method 2 can be adopted, namely, the sending is suspended; if the interval is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the method 1 described above may be employed. The preset threshold may be preset, or the protocol is predefined. The present embodiment is not limited to this. The benefit of this may be to address scenarios such as: when the GAP time is too long and the vehicle runs far, the previous sending result can not be used as reference. Alternatively, in some scenarios, such as assisted driving or advanced driving assistance systems, smart driving, smart internet driving, etc., the length of the GAP may be associated with the vehicle, e.g., the higher the vehicle speed the smaller the GAP, the higher the vehicle speed the larger the GAP.

LBT is performed with the terminal device as exemplified in connection with fig. 9. In fig. 9, it is assumed that the carrier resources are configured in two parts in units of subframes. Fig. 9 shows two cases: case a and case B.

Case a is a case where the interval is less than a preset threshold.

In case a, it is assumed that subframe 0, subframe 1, subframe 2, subframe 3, subframe 7, subframe 8, and subframe 9 belong to subframes of resource pool 2, and subframe 4, subframe 5, and subframe 6 belong to subframes of resource pool 1. After subframe 3LBT, the terminal device calculates an interval (i.e., LBT suspension interval), and determines that the interval is 3 subframes, i.e., subframe 4 to subframe 6. As shown in case a in fig. 9, assuming that the interval is smaller than the preset threshold, that is, the duration of 3 subframes is smaller than the preset threshold, the method 3, that is, suspending LBT, may be adopted, and when the subframe of the next resource pool 2 starts, that is, when the subframe reaches to subframe 7, the terminal device continues the LBT process. Assuming that LBT is successful, i.e. a clear channel is obtained, at subframe 8, the terminal device starts data transmission from subframe 8. Subframes that may be occupied by data transmission are 3 subframes, subframe 8, subframe 9, and subframe 0.

Case B is a case where the interval is greater than or equal to a preset threshold.

In case B, it is assumed that subframe 0, subframe 7, subframe 8, and subframe 9 belong to subframes of resource pool 2, and subframe 1, subframe 2, subframe 3, subframe 4, subframe 5, and subframe 6 belong to subframes of resource pool 1. After subframe 0LBT, the terminal device calculates an interval (i.e., LBT suspension interval), and determines that the interval is 6 subframes, i.e., subframe 1 to subframe 6. As shown in case B in fig. 9, assuming that the interval is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, that is, the duration of 6 subframes is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the method 1 or the method 2 may be adopted, and when the subframe of the next resource pool 2 starts, that is, when the subframe 7 is reached, the terminal device performs LBT again. The terminal device performs LBT again in subframe 7, and starts data transmission from subframe 8, assuming that LBT is successful at subframe 8, i.e. obtains a free channel. Subframes that may be occupied by data transmission are 3 subframes, subframe 8, subframe 9, and subframe 0.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may further use a resource in the resource pool 2 to send data of the first service.

The terminal device obtains resources for sending data in the resource pool 1, where the resources obtained by the terminal device may be based on scheduling of a base station, pre-configuration, or based on an existing sending mechanism (data sending can be performed in a resource reservation manner), and the like, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto.

Optionally, for the services configured on resource pool 1, or for some services, such as services with higher requirements on latency, higher priority, or more urgent, the terminal device may occupy or use the resources of resource pool 2 for transmission.

Specifically, when the terminal device needs to occupy the resource of the resource pool 2 to transmit the service data, the terminal device or the network device may first send the SCI indicating the length of the scheduling resource. The detection time of the terminal equipment can be shortened by sending SCI to the terminal equipment to indicate information such as scheduling duration, and related scheduling information can be indicated to the sending end UE by the network equipment and then sent to the receiving end UE by the sending end UE.

As exemplified in connection with fig. 10. As shown in fig. 10, it is assumed that carrier resources are configured in two parts in units of subframes, subframe 2 and subframe 3 belong to subframes of resource pool 1, and subframe 4, subframe 5, subframe 6, and subframe 7 belong to subframes of resource pool 2.

As shown in fig. 10, the network device transmits an SCI in subframe 3, and may indicate the length of the scheduling using a Symbol Length Indication Value (SLIV). The network device sends the SCI in subframe 3, which may be the network device sending the SCI at the starting position of subframe 3, or the network device sending the SCI at any position of subframe 3, which is not limited in this embodiment.

The terminal device performing channel sensing on the subframe of the resource pool 2 receives the corresponding SCI and performs demodulation and decoding, so as to start the LBT time and perform LBT time-frequency domain bandwidth.

The process in which a communication device receives a signal on a certain channel to detect whether the channel is idle (or called idle channel assessment) may be referred to as channel sensing. Specifically, if the communication device determines whether the channel is idle through signal detection, in the case that a specific signal is not detected, the channel is considered to be idle, or in other words, the signal transmission of other communication devices is not heard; in the event that a particular signal is detected, the channel is deemed busy or, in other words, the signaling of other communication devices is heard. If the communication equipment determines whether the channel is idle through energy detection, the channel is considered to be idle or signals of other communication equipment cannot be sent under the condition that the received or detected energy is lower than a certain preset threshold value; in the case where the received or detected energy is above some preset threshold, the channel is considered busy, or, the signal transmission of other communication devices is heard.

The channel sensing is performed on the subframe of the resource pool 2, which can be understood as sensing of the terminal device on the unreserved subframe.

Optionally, an interval between the time when the network device sends the SCI and the beginning of the subframe of the resource pool 2 is less than or equal to a preset third threshold. The preset third threshold may be preset, for example, predefined by a protocol or preconfigured by a network device, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto.

The time for the network device to transmit the SCI may be to monitor the SCI at a position before the beginning of the subframe of the resource pool 2, for example, within a few slots (e.g., within 1 slot) before the beginning. For example, taking fig. 10 as an example, the time for the network device to send the SCI may be a position before the beginning of the subframe (i.e. subframe 4) of the resource pool 2, such as the position of subframe 3, so that the terminal device only needs to monitor the SCI at the beginning of subframe 3. In this way, that is, the interval between the time when the network device sends the SCI and the beginning of the subframe of the resource pool 2 is less than or equal to the preset third threshold, power consumption caused by blind detection of the SCI by the terminal device can be reduced.

Optionally, an interval between the time when the network device sends the SCI and the beginning of the subframe of the resource pool 2 is greater than or equal to a preset fourth threshold.

For simplicity, the interval between the time when the network device sends the SCI and the beginning of the subframe of resource pool 2 is denoted as the scheduling interval, as shown in fig. 10. The scheduling interval is greater than or equal to a preset fourth threshold, where the preset fourth threshold may be preset, for example, predefined by a protocol or preconfigured by a network device, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto. For example, the scheduling interval is greater than or equal to N2; as another example, assuming that a current subcarrier spacing (SCS) is 15KHz, a scheduling interval is not less than 3 symbols. In this way, that is, the interval between the time when the network device sends the SCI and the beginning of the subframe of the resource pool 2 is greater than or equal to the preset fourth threshold, the terminal device can have a long enough time to set the LBT parameter.

Optionally, the interval between the frequency domain position of the SCI sent by the network device and the beginning of the frequency domain starting position of the resource pool 2 is less than or equal to a preset fifth threshold. The preset fifth threshold may be preset, for example, predefined by a protocol or preconfigured by a network device, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto.

The frequency domain position where the network device sends the SCI may be a position before the start of the frequency domain starting position of the resource pool 2 to monitor the SCI, for example, within a few frequency domain units before the start (e.g., within 1 subcarrier, etc.). In this way, that is, the interval between the frequency domain position of the SCI sent by the network device and the start of the frequency domain starting position of the resource pool 2 is less than or equal to the preset fifth threshold, so that the power consumption caused by blind detection of the SCI by the terminal device can be reduced.

Optionally, the interval between the frequency domain position of the SCI sent by the network device and the beginning of the frequency domain starting position of the resource pool 2 is greater than or equal to a preset sixth threshold.

For simplicity, the interval between the frequency domain position of the SCI sent by the network device and the beginning of the frequency domain starting position of the resource pool 2 is denoted as the scheduling interval. In this way, that is, the interval between the frequency domain position of the SCI sent by the network device and the beginning of the frequency domain starting position of the resource pool 2 is greater than or equal to the preset sixth threshold, the terminal device can set the LBT parameter.

Two specific examples are described below in conjunction with fig. 11 and 12.

Fig. 11 is a schematic interaction diagram of a method 300 of transferring data provided by an embodiment of the present application, shown from the perspective of device interaction. As shown, method 300 may include steps 310 through 350, each of which is described in detail below.

The network device sends 310 resource configuration information.

Accordingly, the terminal device and the target device receive the resource configuration information. The target device is one or more terminal devices corresponding to the data to be transmitted by the terminal device, that is, one or more terminal devices receiving the data to be transmitted by the terminal device. Alternatively, the target device may also be one or more terminal device groups or one or more groups for receiving target data, that is, the terminal devices in the terminal device group or group all receive the data to be transmitted of the terminal device.

The network device may divide the resource into two parts, the resource pool 1 and the resource pool 2, in units of time domain or frequency domain (or units), as described in the method 200, which is for brevity and will not be described again.

The network device is configured in two parts by taking a subframe as a unit.

Optionally, the resource configuration information includes information of a radio frame and a subframe. The information about the radio frame and the subframe is described in the method 200, and is not described herein again for brevity.

Optionally, the resource configuration information includes a multiple access mode of the sidelink control channel. In one possible implementation manner, resource pool 1 is SC-FDMA, resource pool 2 is OFDMA, that is, the terminal device sends control channel information (SCI) and data channel of sidelink, and adopts configured multiple access mode; alternatively, a multiple access scheme indicating a scheme for an edge link shared data channel (PSSCH) may be added to the SCI cell.

Optionally, the resource configuration information includes resource allocation pattern information. For example, the resource obtaining Mode of the resource pool 1 is configured to be obtained based on Mode1, that is, a Mode allocated by a network device; the resource acquisition Mode of the resource pool 2 is configured to be based on Mode2 acquisition, i.e. through channel idle detection or LBT mechanism, etc.

Alternatively, the terminal device may receive the resource configuration information on resource pool 1.

The terminal device connects the traffic to resource pool 1 320.

The terminal device may connect the service to the resource pool 1 according to the service connection rule configured by the network device.

And 330, the terminal equipment applies for resources from the network equipment.

In other words, the terminal device applies for resources in resource pool 1 to the network device.

The terminal equipment sends request information to the network equipment, wherein the request information comprises at least one of the following information: the data buffering amount is the difference between the expected coverage distance of data to be sent or the path loss value from a sending end to a receiving end, the path loss from a terminal device to a network device (cell path loss for short), the service path loss (such as side link path loss) and the cell path loss.

The path loss estimation value may also be referred to as a traffic path loss. When the terminal equipment sends data in a broadcasting mode, the service path loss is calculated according to the distance range expected to be covered by the service; when the terminal equipment sends data in a unicast mode, the service path loss of the terminal equipment calculates the path loss according to the distance between the terminal equipment and the target equipment; when the terminal device sends data in a multicast mode, the traffic path loss of the terminal device can be calculated according to the maximum terminal device path loss in the terminal device group.

340, the network device allocates resources for the terminal device.

Accordingly, the terminal device obtains the resource allocated by the network device, and the resource is the resource in the resource pool 1.

The network equipment allocates scheduling resource information to the terminal equipment according to the request information of the terminal equipment, wherein the allocated scheduling resource information comprises at least one of the following information: frequency domain information (e.g., number of PRBs or number of subchannels, etc.), time domain information (number of symbols or number of slots), and slot aggregation number (number of times traffic data is repeated over successive slots), control channel, or/and multiple access manner of traffic data (e.g., OFDMA or SC-FDMA).

When the multiple access mode is different from the multiple access mode when the resource pool is configured, the multiple access mode indicated by the network equipment can cover the multiple access mode when the resource pool is allocated.

And 350, the terminal equipment transmits data to the target equipment on the allocated resources.

The data may include control data and traffic data, among others. That is, the terminal device may transmit the relevant control data and traffic data according to the information allocated by the network device.

Note that, when the network device configures only the multiple access scheme of the sidelink physical control channel (PSCCH), the terminal device determines the multiple access scheme of the data channel according to the coverage and the transmission power, and indicates the scheme in the control channel, as shown in table 1 below.

TABLE 1

And the target equipment detects the control channel on the resource pool 1 according to the configured subframe information and the multiple access information, and receives and processes the service data.

Based on the technical scheme, resources for sending the periodic service can be separated independently without being influenced by sending of the aperiodic service, and further, the transmission performance of data is improved.

Fig. 12 is a schematic interaction diagram of a method 400 of transferring data provided by an embodiment of the application, shown from the perspective of device interaction. As shown, method 400 may include steps 410 through 440, each of which is described in detail below.

The network device sends 410 resource configuration information.

The network device is configured in two parts by taking a time slot as a unit.

Optionally, the resource configuration information includes information of a subframe and a slot. The information about the subframe and the slot is as described in the method 200, and is not described herein again for brevity.

The resource configuration information includes information of subframes and slots, and does not include information of radio frames. When the subcarrier spacing is 15KHz, 1 sub-frame corresponds to 1 slot, and when the carrier spacing increases, the number of slots included in the sub-frame changes, as shown in table 2.

TABLE 2

Subcarrier spacing	slot length (millisecond)	The number of slots contained in a subframe
			15KHz	1ms
	1
		30KHz	0.5ms	2
60KHz	0.25ms				4
		120KHz	0.125ms	8

As can be seen from table 2, when the number of subcarriers increases, the time unit is subdivided, and the resource division can reduce the transmission delay of the service. Assuming that the network device only transmits information of the reserved slot group (i.e., resource pool 1) to the terminal device, it can be designed in the following manner:

1. a subframe containing a resource pool 2 time slot is represented in a periodic mode, the subframe containing the resource pool 2 time slot can be called a specific subframe, a period can be represented by T, and a subframe offset can be represented by O;

2. resource pool 2 slots within a particular subframe are represented in a SLIV fashion. The method of SLIV is a method for representing time domain length in the existing standard, and assuming that there are 8 slots in each subframe, the calculation method is as follows:

if (L-1) ≦ 4, then:

SLIV＝8*(L-1)+S；

otherwise:

SLIV＝8*(8-L+1)+(8-1-S)。

wherein, SLIV can indicate the starting time slot S of the time domain resource relative to the beginning of the sub-frame,

s represents the starting time slot of the time domain resource relative to the beginning of the subframe, and S is more than or equal to 0;

l represents the number of allocated consecutive slots starting from slot S, L being greater than 0 and L being less than (8-S).

As shown in fig. 7, the transmission cycle is 5ms (5 subframes), the subframe offset is 0, S is 4, L is 4 in the slot, and SLIV is 8 (L-1) + S is 8, 3+4 is 28.

The terminal device connects the traffic to resource pool 2 420.

430, the terminal device acquires the resource through LBT.

Detection window long time calculation (contention window parameter set): the method is introduced from the two aspects of parameter initial setting and parameter correction.

A. Initial setting of parameters

The terminal device may calculate the detection duration or the number of detection time slots according to the protocol configuration. It should be understood that a time slot here is not synonymous with a time slot for scheduled transmission of data, where a time slot is a unit of time, such as 16 us. And if the current protocol carries out the determination of the number parameters of the detection time slots according to the priority class and the service data sending time length. Assume that the calculation output parameter is CW _ L (contention window length). Assume the rules for contention window parameter setting as follows in table 3:

TABLE 3

Channel access priority	CW_min,p	CW_max,p	Time of flight
				1	3	7	2ms
2	7	15	3ms
				3	15	63	8ms
4	15	1023	10ms

In the above table, the channel access priority corresponds to transmission, and the parameter setting of the contention window is determined by the transmission time.

B. Parameter correction

Calculating the number of the current remaining 'resource pool 2 time slots', and when the remaining time is greater than a certain threshold value, not performing parameter correction, for example, as for the following table: the threshold value may take the following values: transmission time + maximum contention window number channel listening slot length. If the detection time is less than a certain threshold value, the detection time parameter setting is reduced until the condition is met.

And (3) idle channel detection: and if the sending resource is acquired before the end of the subframe of the resource pool 2, the reading help sends data on the acquired resource. Otherwise: and judging the interval duration of the subframe of the next resource pool 2, if the interval duration is greater than a threshold, such as greater than 100ms, resetting the length of a related detection window when detecting the resource on the subframe of the next resource pool 2, otherwise, continuing the detection.

And 440, the terminal equipment transmits data to the target equipment on the acquired resources.

Wherein the data comprises traffic data. Correspondingly, the target device detects the control channel information on the resource pool 2 based on the received configuration information according to the configured subframe information, multiple access information and the like, and receives and processes the service data.

Based on the technical scheme, the resource pool based on LBT or channel detection can be independently set, so that the time for detecting the channel is shortened, the problem of monitoring boundary resources based on LBT can be solved, and the transmission performance of data is improved.
