The side link refers to the wireless link between terminals in NR/LTE, and two terminals can realize direct data transmission between them through the side link. The wireless link between the side links is also called a wireless direct communication (PC5) link, and runs the PC5 protocol. In the existing protocol, the use of terminals to provide relay services between the terminal and the network side equipment 21 will be studied, wherein the terminal providing the relay service is called a relay terminal (relay UE) 22, and the terminal provided with the relay service Referred to as a remote terminal (remote UE) 23, the link between the relay terminal 22 and the remote terminal 23 is a PC5 link, running a sidelink interface protocol, and the link between the relay terminal 22 and the network side device 21 The link is a Uu link (link), running the Uu link protocol.

The sidelink discovery signal is used by the remote terminal to discover the relay terminal, and is used by the remote terminal to request the relay terminal to establish a sidelink relay connection. Generally, the relay terminal needs to broadcast and send a discovery signal defining the relay terminal, and the remote terminal determines the relay terminal that can provide the sidelink relay service by monitoring the discovery signal sent by the relay terminal. When the remote terminal has a service requirement, the remote terminal sends a request discovery signal to the relay terminal to request the establishment of a relay connection, and starts the process of establishing a relay link, including the process of "remote terminal-relay terminal-network side equipment". Relay circuit and "remote terminal-relay terminal-remote terminal" relay circuit. The relay terminal needs to always monitor at least the sidelink relay request discovery signal from the remote terminal on the entire discovery signal resource pool, so as to detect the request discovery signal of the relay circuit randomly initiated by the remote terminal in time to request the establishment of a relay connection . Similarly, when the remote terminal needs to monitor the discovery signal from the relay terminal, it also needs to monitor the discovery signal from the relay terminal on the entire discovery signal resource pool. In this way, even if there is no sidelink relay service, the relay terminal still needs to monitor the discovery signal on the entire discovery signal resource pool, resulting in relatively large power consumption of the terminal. The resource pool configuration method provided in the embodiment of the present application can solve this technical problem.

The resource pool configuration method provided by the embodiment of the present application will be described in detail below through some embodiments and application scenarios with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Please refer to FIG. 3 . FIG. 3 is a resource pool configuration method provided by an embodiment of the present application, and the method is applied to a remote terminal. As shown in Figure 3, the method includes the following steps:

Step 301, the remote terminal receives the first configuration parameter sent by the relay terminal or receives the second configuration parameter sent by the network side device.

The relay terminal sends a discovery signal resource subpool;

The relay terminal receives the discovery signal resource subpool;

The remote terminal sends a discovery signal resource subpool;

The remote terminal receives the discovery signal resource subpool.

For example, the remote terminal receives the first configuration parameter sent by the relay terminal, where the first configuration parameter may be a configuration parameter generated after the relay terminal configures a discovery signal resource subpool, or may be a configuration parameter received by the relay terminal from the network side. Based on the third configuration parameter sent by the device, it is determined whether the relay terminal is allowed to configure the discovery signal resource subpool, and if allowed, the relay terminal configures the discovery signal resource subpool and generates the first configuration parameter.

Alternatively, the remote terminal may also receive the second configuration parameter sent by the network side device, and the second configuration parameter may be a configuration parameter generated after the network side device configures the discovery signal resource subpool.

That is to say, the discovery signal resource subpool may be configured by the relay terminal to the remote terminal, or may be configured by the network side device to the remote terminal. Optionally, the discovery signal resource subpool includes a resource subpool for the discovery signal sent by the relay terminal, a resource subpool for the discovery signal received by the relay terminal, a resource subpool for the discovery signal sent by the remote terminal, and a resource subpool for the discovery signal received by the remote terminal. At least one item in the pool. Wherein, the discovery signal resource sub-pool may be used for sending or receiving the discovery signal, and the relay terminal and the remote terminal may select time-frequency resources for sending or receiving the relay link discovery signal from the discovery signal resource sub-pool.

For example, the remote terminal receives the first configuration parameter sent by the relay terminal, and the first configuration parameter is used to instruct the relay terminal to send the discovery signal resource subpool and the remote terminal to receive the discovery signal resource subpool, and then the remote terminal also It is possible to monitor the discovery signal sent by the relay terminal on the specific resource subpool of the discovery signal sent by the relay terminal, and to receive the time-frequency resource of the discovery signal sent by the relay terminal through the specific resource subpool of the discovery signal received by the remote terminal. In this way, the remote terminal can also monitor or receive the discovery signal of the relay terminal through a specific discovery signal resource subpool, and there is no need to monitor the entire discovery signal resource pool, reducing the power consumption of the remote terminal.

Alternatively, the first configuration parameter is used to instruct the relay terminal to receive the discovery signal resource subpool and the remote terminal to send the discovery signal resource subpool, and then the remote terminal may be in a specific remote terminal to send the discovery signal resource subpool To select the time-frequency resource for sending the discovery signal, the relay terminal can monitor the discovery signal sent by the remote terminal through the relay terminal receiving discovery signal resource subpool. In this way, the relay terminal can only monitor the discovery signal sent by the remote terminal through the sub-pool of discovery signal resources received by the relay terminal, and does not need to monitor the relay request discovery signal of the remote terminal on the entire discovery signal resource pool. following terminal power loss.

Alternatively, the first configuration parameter may also be used only to indicate at least one of the above four discovery signal resource subpools. For example, the first configuration parameter may only be used to instruct the relay terminal to send the discovery signal resource subpool, and the remote terminal may monitor the discovery signal sent by the relay terminal through the relay terminal to send the discovery signal resource subpool , or monitor the discovery signal sent by the relay terminal through the discovery signal resource pool. For another example, the first configuration parameter may only be used to instruct the relay terminal to receive the discovery signal resource subpool, and the remote terminal may select the corresponding relay chain based on the relay terminal receiving the discovery signal resource subpool. The time-frequency resource of the channel discovery signal is sent, and the time-frequency resource is sent, so that the relay terminal can receive the discovery signal sent by the relay terminal through the relay terminal receiving discovery signal resource subpool. Of course, the first configuration parameter may also be used only to instruct the remote terminal to send the discovery signal resource subpool, or to instruct the remote terminal to receive the discovery signal resource subpool, which will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

It can be understood that the discovery signal resource subpool indicated by the first configuration parameter may also be other possible combinations of at least one of the above four discovery signal resource subpools; The discovery signal resource subpool may also be various possible combinations of at least one of the above four discovery signal resource subpools, which are not listed in this embodiment of the present application.

In this embodiment of the present application, the remote terminal receives the first configuration parameter sent by the relay terminal or the second configuration parameter sent by the network side device, and both the first configuration parameter and the second configuration parameter can be used to instruct the relay terminal to send At least one of the discovery signal resource subpool, the relay terminal reception discovery signal resource subpool, the remote terminal transmission discovery signal resource subpool, and the remote terminal reception discovery signal resource subpool. In this way, the remote terminal can monitor the discovery signal requested by the sidelink relay on the discovery signal resource subpool based on the first configuration parameter or the second configuration parameter, without having to monitor the discovery signal in the entire discovery signal resource pool or all discovery signal resources. Monitoring is performed on the resource pool, which reduces the power consumption of the terminal.

Optionally, the first configuration parameter is sent through any of the following: broadcast information, dedicated sidelink radio resource control (Radio Resource Control, RRC) signaling. That is to say, the relay terminal may notify the remote terminal of the first configuration parameter through dedicated sidelink RRC signaling or through broadcast information, so that the remote terminal determines the discovery based on the first configuration parameter. Signal resource subpool.

Optionally, the second configuration parameter is sent by any one of the following: system message, RRC signaling. That is to say, the network side device may notify the remote terminal of the second configuration parameter through a system message or dedicated RRC signaling, so that the remote terminal determines the discovery signal resource subpool based on the second configuration parameter .

In this embodiment of the present application, the discovery signal resource subpool is determined based on the discovery signal resource pool, and the discovery signal resource pool includes any of the following items:

A time-frequency resource for sending a relay link discovery signal;

A time-frequency resource for sending a relay link discovery signal and relay link target data, where the target data is data on the relay link other than the discovery signal.

Optionally, the discovery signal resource pool may be a time-frequency resource pool configured separately by the system for sending discovery signals, and the relay terminal and the remote terminal select and transmit a time-frequency relay chain from the discovery signal time-frequency resource pool The time-frequency resource of the path discovery signal. In this case, the system also configures a time-frequency resource pool for sending relay data (that is, the target data), that is, the relay link discovery signal (including the discovery signal sent by the relay terminal and the The sending of the discovery signal) sent by the remote terminal and the sending of the relay data use different time-frequency resource pools respectively.

Alternatively, the discovery signal resource pool may include time-frequency resources for sending relay link discovery signals and time-frequency resources for sending relay data. That is to say, the transmission of the relay link discovery signal and the transmission of the relay data use the same time-frequency resource pool, that is, the system only defines or configures a side-link time-frequency resource pool for the relay data and the relay link. Sending of discovery signals.

In the embodiment of the present application, the relay terminal or the network side device may divide the discovery signal resource pool into the above four discovery signal resource subpools on the basis of the discovery signal resource pool. For example, the discovery signal resource pool includes time-frequency resources for sending discovery signals on the relay link, and the relay terminal may divide these time-frequency resources into time-frequency resources for sending discovery signals by the relay terminal. The discovery signal resource subpool, the relay terminal receiving discovery signal resource subpool including the time-frequency resource for the relay terminal to receive the discovery signal, the remote terminal sending discovery signal resource subpool including the time-frequency resource for the remote terminal sending the discovery signal, and The remote terminal reception discovery signal resource subpool includes the time-frequency resource for the remote terminal to receive the discovery signal. It should be noted that the network side device may also divide the discovery signal resource pool into the discovery signal resource subpools based on the foregoing manner.

It should be noted that the discovery signal resource subpool is smaller than the discovery signal resource pool. For example, the resource subpool for the discovery signal sent by the relay terminal may only include time-frequency resources for the The signal resource subpool may only include the time-frequency resources for the discovery signal sent by the remote terminal. Compared with the original discovery signal resource pool, which includes both the time-frequency resource for the discovery signal sent by the relay terminal and the time-frequency resource for the discovery signal sent by the remote terminal In the way of discovering the time-frequency resources of the signal, the discovery signal resource subpool provided by the embodiment of the present application includes fewer time-frequency resources, and the discovery signal resource subpool is also smaller, which can effectively reduce the number of relay terminals and remote end-to-end power consumption.

Optionally, when the remote terminal receives the second configuration parameter sent by the network side device, no time interval is reserved between any two discovery signal resource subpools within one transmission period of the discovery signal resource pool , or, the time interval is reserved between any two discovery signal resource subpools in one transmission cycle of the discovery signal resource pool;

Wherein, within the time interval, at least one of the following can be achieved:

Transition of the relay terminal from the sending state to the receiving state;

Transition of the relay terminal from the receiving state to the sending state;

Transition of the remote terminal from the sending state to the receiving state;

For example, please refer to FIG. 4a, two discovery signal resource subpools (such as discovery signal resource subpool 1 and discovery signal resource subpool 2) are included in one transmission period of the discovery signal resource pool, that is, the original discovery signal resource The transmission period of the pool can now transmit two discovery signal resource subpools, and there is no reserved time interval between the two discovery signal resource subpools, that is, there is no reserved time for the transition of the relay terminal from the sending state to the receiving state, or There is no time reserved for the transition of the relay terminal from the receive state to the transmit state, or the time reserved for the transition of the remote terminal from the receive state to the transmit state, or the transition of the remote terminal from the transmit state to the receive state time.

Or, referring to FIG. 4b, one transmission cycle of the discovery signal resource pool includes two discovery signal resource subpools (such as discovery signal resource subpool 1 and discovery signal resource subpool 2), and the two discovery signal resource subpools There is a time interval reserved between them, and within this time interval, the transition of the relay terminal from the sending state to the receiving state, the transition of the relay terminal from the receiving state to the sending state, and the transition of the remote terminal from the sending state to the receiving state can be completed. At least one of a transition and a transition of the remote terminal from a receive state to a transmit state.

Or, referring to FIG. 4c, one discovery signal resource pool includes one discovery signal resource subpool (such as discovery signal resource subpool 1) in one transmission period of the discovery signal resource pool, and another discovery signal resource subpool (such as discovery signal resource subpool 1) may be included in the next transmission period. Such as discovering the signal resource subpool 2). In the interval between adjacent transmission cycles, the transition of the relay terminal from the sending state to the receiving state, the transition of the relay terminal from the receiving state to the sending state, the transition of the remote terminal from the sending state to the receiving state, and the remote At least one of the transitions of the terminal from the receive state to the transmit state.

The relay terminal sends the discovery signal resource subpool and the relay terminal receives the discovery signal resource subpool;

The remote terminal sends the discovery signal resource subpool and the remote terminal receives the discovery signal resource subpool.

It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the time sequence of any two discovery signal resource subpools. For example, the any two discovery signal resource subpools are the resource subpool for the discovery signal sent by the relay terminal and the resource subpool for the discovery signal received by the remote terminal. In terms of time, the resource subpool for the discovery signal sent by the relay terminal may be It is located before the remote terminal receives the discovery signal resource subpool, and may also be located after the remote terminal receives the discovery signal resource subpool.

In the solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, the remote terminal monitors the discovery signal requested by the sidelink relay on a specific discovery signal resource subpool based on the first configuration parameter or the second configuration parameter, thereby reducing the power consumption of the terminal.
