Description

Periodic resource allocation and determination method and equipment

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for configuring and determining periodic resources.

Background

In a long Term Evolution (L ong Term Evolution, L TE) system, a UE determines S L resources through two modes, one is a network Scheduling mode (mode1) and the other is a UE autonomous mode (mode 2). Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS) is one of S L Resource configuration modes under mode 1. currently, for SPS in a secondary link, the network device performs S L period Resource configuration through Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, and determines the state (activation/deactivation) of the S L period Resource through a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH).

However, in practical applications, a Radio Access Technology (RAT) adopted by a secondary link interface between UEs may occur, and a scenario that a RAT adopted by a User to Network interface (Uu) of the UE is different from that adopted by a UE User to Network interface (L TE), for example, a scenario that a secondary link interface between UEs adopts L TE, and a Uu interface of the UE adopts a New Radio Access (NR).

Therefore, it is desirable to provide a better periodic resource allocation scheme to solve the above problems.

It should be noted that, although the scheme for configuring periodic resources proposed in the present application is to solve the above-mentioned problem when determining the state of periodic resources of a secondary link across RATs, the scheme proposed in the present application is not only applicable to the above-mentioned scenario in which the state of periodic resources of a secondary link is determined across RATs, but also applicable to a scenario in which the state of other periodic resources is determined.

Detailed Description

In order to make those skilled in the art better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the technical solution in the embodiment of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiment of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiment is only a part of the embodiment of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

It should be understood that the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to various communication systems, such as a Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) System, a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) System, a Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) System, a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), a long Term Evolution (L ong Term Evolution, L TE) System, a L TE Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) System, a L TE Time Division Duplex (TDD), a Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) or a Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) System, a WiMAX (New Radio System, or a New Radio System NR).

A Terminal device (UE), which may also be referred to as a Mobile Terminal (Mobile Terminal), a Mobile Terminal device, or the like, may communicate with at least one core Network via a Radio Access Network (RAN, for example), where the Terminal device may be a Mobile Terminal, such as a Mobile phone (or a "cellular" phone) and a computer having the Mobile Terminal, such as a portable, pocket, handheld, computer-embedded or vehicle-mounted Mobile device, and may exchange languages and/or data with the Radio Access Network.

The network device is a device deployed in a radio access network device for configuring resources for a period, and the network device may be a Base Station, where the Base Station may be a Base Transceiver Station (BTS) in GSM or CDMA, a Base Station (NodeB) in WCDMA, an evolved Node B (eNB or e-NodeB) and a 5G Base Station (gNB) in L TE, and a network-side device in a subsequent evolved communication system, but the term does not limit the scope of the present invention.

It should be noted that, when describing a specific embodiment, the sequence number of each process does not mean the execution sequence, and the execution sequence of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation to the implementation process of the embodiment of the present invention.

A possible application scenario of the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to fig. 1.

As shown in fig. 1, in an application scenario, a base station 11 and a transmitting terminal 12 of a secondary link (S L) communicate and Control information via a User to network (User to network interface) of a New Radio Access (NR), and a transmitting terminal 12 of the secondary link and a receiving terminal 13 of the secondary link communicate via a secondary link interface of long Term Evolution (L one Term Evolution, L TE).

It should be understood that, although the periodic resource configuration scheme proposed by the present invention is to solve the problem existing in the determination of the state of the periodic resource of the secondary link across RATs shown in fig. 1, it does not mean that the scheme proposed by the present invention is only applicable to the above scenario of determining the state of the periodic resource of the secondary link across RATs, but may also be applicable to the scenario of determining the state of other periodic resources.

The following describes a periodic resource allocation method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, where the method is applicable to a network device, for example, the base station 11 shown in fig. 1.

As shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides a periodic resource allocation method, which is applicable to a network device, and the method may include the following steps:

step 201, sending a first radio resource control RRC signaling, where the first RRC signaling is used for a terminal device to determine a state of a target resource, and the target resource includes a periodic resource configured for a sidelink of the terminal device.

For example, the base station 11 in fig. 1 may transmit first Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling to the transmitting terminal 12, where the first RRC signaling may be used for the transmitting terminal 12 to determine a state of a periodic resource configured for a secondary link between the transmitting terminal 12 and the second transmitting terminal 13.

It should be understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the target resource may include other periodic resources configured for the terminal device in addition to the periodic resource configured for the sidelink of the terminal device.

The state of the target resource may include an activated state or a deactivated state.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 2, the target resource may also be configured to the terminal device through RRC signaling. When the network device configures the target resource to the terminal device through RRC signaling, the RRC signaling may include one or more of the following:

a time domain position and a frequency domain position of the target resource;

a period parameter of the target resource;

an antenna parameter;

a reference signal parameter;

power control parameters;

coding and transmission parameters such as Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS), Transport Block Set (TBS), and the like;

a Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) process parameter;

control information and feedback parameters; and

other parameters needed in the transmission, etc.

Optionally, the first RRC signaling for determining the state of the target resource may be RRC signaling for configuring the target resource, or may be a separate RRC signaling different from the RRC signaling for configuring the target resource. That is, in this embodiment of the present specification, the first RRC signaling and the RRC signaling configuring the target resource may be different signaling, or the first RRC signaling and the RRC signaling configuring the target resource may be the same signaling.

It can be understood that, when the first RRC signaling and the RRC signaling configuring the target resource may be the same signaling, the complexity of determining the state of the target resource may be further reduced, thereby further improving the communication efficiency of the entire system.

The operation of the first RRC signaling will be described below with several specific embodiments.

Implementation mode one

If the first RRC signaling and the RRC signaling configuring the target resource are the same signaling, it means that the RRC signaling configuring the target resource can also be used for the terminal device to determine the state of the target resource.

Specifically, in an example, according to a specification of a preset protocol (a default in the protocol), the first RRC signaling may be used for the terminal device to determine that the target resource is in the first state when receiving the first RRC signaling. Or, in another example, the first RRC signaling may include preset indication information, where the preset indication information may be used to indicate that the terminal device determines that the target resource is in the first state when receiving the first RRC signaling. That is, the terminal device may determine that the target resource is in the first state as soon as receiving the first RRC signaling, where the first state may be an activated state or a deactivated state.

The foregoing embodiment is intended to illustrate that, while configuring a target resource to a terminal device through RRC signaling, the target resource is activated or deactivated without activating or deactivating the target resource through additional signaling, which may save signaling overhead.

Optionally, on the basis of the first embodiment, if the first state is an active state, that is, in a case that the target resource is activated while the target resource is configured, the method shown in fig. 2 may further include: and reserving the target resource for the terminal equipment.

Due to the fact that the transmission of the first RRC signaling needs to wait for scheduling or retransmission, the first RRC signaling is sent with a certain time delay or under the condition that the sending time is uncertain, and the like, so that the network equipment is difficult to accurately judge the time when the terminal equipment receives the first RRC signaling, and finally the network equipment is difficult to reserve the target resource for the terminal equipment according to the accurate time when the terminal equipment receives the first RRC signaling. In order to ensure that the terminal device can reserve the target resource when the target resource needs to be used, in a simple example, the target resource may be reserved for the terminal device from the time when the first RRC signaling is sent; alternatively, in another relatively precise example, the target resource may be reserved for the terminal device from receiving the feedback information of the successful transmission of the first RRC signaling, that is, once the first RRC signaling is transmitted or transmitted successfully (for example, HARQ feedback information is received), the terminal device is considered to have successfully received the first RRC signaling and activated the target resource, and the network device may start to reserve the target resource for the terminal device.

Similarly, for the network device deactivating or releasing the target resource through another RRC signaling (such as the second RRC signaling hereinafter), there is also a problem that the transmission delay of the RRC signaling is not fixed, and therefore, if the second state hereinafter includes any one of a deactivation state, a reconfiguration state, and a release state, the method shown in fig. 2 may further include: receiving confirmation information fed back by the terminal equipment, wherein the confirmation information is used for confirming that the target resource is in any one of a deactivation state, a reconfiguration state and a release state; and recovering the target resource according to the confirmation information, namely after the network equipment receives the confirmation information returned by the terminal equipment, the network equipment considers that the target resource is in a deactivation state or a release state, and further the target resource can be recovered.

Alternatively, if the second state hereinafter includes any one of a deactivation state, a reconfiguration state and a release state, the method shown in fig. 2 may further include: and after receiving the confirmation information that the second RRC signaling transmission is successful, recovering the target resource. That is, the network device may track the transmission result of the second RRC signaling, and may recover the target resource after obtaining the indication of successful transmission of the second RRC signaling.

Second embodiment

The first RRC signaling carries effective time information of a first state, where the first state may include an activated state or a deactivated state; correspondingly, the first RRC signaling may be used by the terminal device to determine the state of the target resource according to the validation time information.

In embodiment two, the first RRC signaling and the RRC signaling configuring the target resource may be different signaling; alternatively, the first RRC signaling and the RRC signaling configuring the target resource may be the same signaling.

In the second example of the embodiment, the validation time information of the first state carried in the first RRC signaling may include a validation time point of the first state. Accordingly, the first RRC signaling may be used by the terminal device to determine that the target resource is in the first state from the validation time point.

In the first RRC signaling, the effective time point of the first state can be represented by the following two forms:

in one form, the representation is by relative time position. For example, the System Frame Number (SFN) may be used to indicate that the SFN is maintained synchronously at the network device side and the terminal device side, and therefore, it is agreed in the first RRC signaling that a certain SFN after the first RRC signaling is transmitted in the first RRC signaling starts to take effect, and it may be ensured that there is no doubt in determining the effective time of the first state at the network device side and the terminal device side.

In another form, the representation is by absolute time points. For example, it may be represented by GPS time or other representation of absolute points in time.

For example, if the first state is an active state, and the effective time of the first state carried in the first RRC signaling is a specific time (absolute time point), the terminal device may activate the target resource at the specific time after receiving the first RRC signaling, so as to start using the target resource after the specific time.

It is understood that, if the first state is the active state, by using the first example of the second embodiment, the network device may start to reserve the target resource for the terminal device after the effective time point, which may avoid resource waste caused by premature reservation (e.g., reservation during the interaction process of the first RRC signaling) of the target resource, thereby improving resource utilization.

Optionally, on the basis of the first example of the first embodiment or the second embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the method for configuring periodic resources according to the embodiment of the present invention may further include:

step 202, sending a second RRC signaling, where the second RRC signaling is used for the terminal device to change the target resource from the first state to a second state, and the second state is different from the first state.

In general, if the first state is an activated state, the second state includes any one of a deactivated state, a reconfigured state, and a released state; or if the first state is a deactivation state, the second state is an activation state.

That is, after the network device determines that the target resource is in the first state by sending the first RRC signaling, the network device may also change the state of the target resource by sending another RRC signaling. For example, if the network device determines that the target resource is in the activated state by sending the first RRC signaling, the terminal device may further change the target resource from the activated state to the deactivated state, the released state, or the reconfigured state by sending a second RRC signaling for deactivating, releasing, or reconfiguring the target resource; or, if the network device determines that the target resource is in the deactivated state by sending the first RRC signaling, the terminal device may further change the target resource from the deactivated state to the activated state by sending a second RRC signaling for activating the target resource.

For the terminal device, after receiving the second RRC signaling for deactivating, releasing, or reconfiguring the target resource, the terminal device may stop using the target resource to determine that the target resource is correspondingly in a deactivated state, a released state, or a reconfigured state, and optionally, the terminal device may further feed back, as with the network device, acknowledgement information to determine that the target resource is in the deactivated state, the released state, or the reconfigured state, so that the network device may recover the target resource.

Optionally, the second RRC signaling may further carry duration information of the target resource in the second state; at this time, the second RRC signaling may also be used to restore, by the terminal device, the target resource to the first state according to the duration information.

As an example, the duration information may include a duration; accordingly, the second RRC signaling may be used to restore, by the terminal device, the state of the target resource to the first state after the duration elapses from the reception of the second RRC signaling.

For the terminal device, the use of the target resource may be suspended from receiving the second RRC signaling, and resumed after the suspension duration reaches the duration.

As another example, the duration information includes a start time point and a duration; correspondingly, the second RRC signaling may be used to restore the state of the target resource to the first state after the terminal device starts from the starting time point and the duration elapses.

Wherein, the duration may be expressed by a specific duration, such as duration of m milliseconds; alternatively, the duration may be expressed as an integer multiple of the periodicity of the target resource, such as n periods in duration.

For the terminal device, the use of the target resource may be suspended from the start time point, and the use of the target resource may be resumed after the duration of the suspension reaches the duration.

As yet another example, the duration information includes an end time point; correspondingly, the second RRC signaling is used for the terminal device to recover the state of the target resource to the first state from the ending time point.

For the terminal device, the use of the target resource may be suspended from receiving the second RRC signaling, and resumed after reaching the end time point.

Specifically, taking the first state as the activated state and the second state as the deactivated state as an example, before the network device sends the second RRC signaling, the network device may predict the duration of the target resource in the deactivated state, that is, predict the duration of the target resource stopped by the terminal device, for example, the network device needs to reserve a period of time (which may be the duration of the second state) for stopping the target resource due to policy adjustment or resource adjustment, or the network device may predict that the terminal device needs to resume using the target resource after a certain period of time (which may be the duration of the second state) based on the prediction of the network side for the service of the terminal device; and then informing the terminal equipment of the estimated duration through a second RRC signaling so that the terminal equipment can restore the state of the target resource to an activated state when the estimated duration is over, and the terminal equipment can continue to use the target resource.

Of course, in this alternative embodiment, there may also be a problem that the understanding of the duration information by the network device and the terminal device is biased due to an uncertain transmission delay of the second RRC signaling, and in order to ensure that the terminal device can reserve the target resource when it needs to use the target resource, the time for which the network device reserves the target resource should cover (or include) the time for which the terminal device may use the target resource.

In a second example of the second embodiment, the validation time information of the first state carried in the first RRC signaling may include a validation time period of the first state. Correspondingly, the first RRC signaling may be used by the terminal device to determine that the target resource is in the first state in the validation time period, and is in the second state after the validation time period ends, where the second state is different from the first state.

In the first RRC signaling, the effective time period of the first state may be a time period lasting from a first time point for a first preset time duration; alternatively, the validation period of the first state may be a period starting from a first time point to an end of a second time point, wherein the second time point is a time point later than the first time point.

The first time point and the second time point can be represented by the following two forms:

in one form, the representation is by relative time position. For example, the SFN may be represented by the SFN, and since the SFN is maintained synchronously at the network device side and the terminal device side, it is agreed in the first RRC signaling that a certain SFN of the first state after the transmission of the first RRC signaling starts to take effect, so that the network device side and the terminal device side can ensure that the determination of the start effective time of the first state is consistent.

In this case, if the first state is an active state, the receiving of the first RRC signaling means that the target resource is available m milliseconds after the first time point, and may not be available m milliseconds after the first RRC signaling. Alternatively, the first preset duration may be expressed by an integer multiple of the period of the target resource, such as n periods, in this case, if the first state is the active state, then for the terminal device, the receiving of the first RRC signaling means that the target resource is available within n periods after the first time point, and may not be available after n periods, in other words, the terminal device may continuously use the target resource of n periods after the first time point.

It is also understood that, if the first state is the active state, by using the second example of the second embodiment, the network device can reserve the target resource for the terminal device from the first time point to the second time point, which can avoid resource waste caused by the target resource being reserved too early or too long (e.g. during the interaction of the first RRC signaling), thereby improving resource utilization.

In addition, in the second example of the second embodiment, if the first state is the activated state, the second state is the deactivated state, so that the activation and deactivation of the target resource can be achieved through one RRC signaling (the first RRC signaling) (the deactivation operation is implicitly included in the effective time period of the activation operation), and the target resource does not need to be deactivated through an additional RRC signaling after the target resource is activated through the first RRC signaling, so that the signaling overhead of the network device can be saved.

Of course, optionally, if the first state is an activated state and the second state is a deactivated state, on the basis of the second example of the second embodiment, the network device may also deactivate, release or reconfigure the target resource at any time by sending another RRC signaling (e.g., the second RRC signaling mentioned above). For the terminal device, the use of the target resource may be stopped immediately upon receiving the further RRC signaling.

Optionally, whether the terminal device changes the target resource from the first state to the second state by the second example of the above second embodiment, or changes the target resource from the first state to the second state by another RRC signaling (second RRC signaling), if the first state is an active state and the second state is a deactivated state, the method may further include:

receiving confirmation information fed back by the terminal equipment, wherein the confirmation information is used for confirming that the target resource is in a deactivation state;

and releasing or recycling the target resource according to the confirmation information.

That is, after stopping using the target resource based on the first RRC signaling or the second RRC signaling, the terminal device may also report acknowledgement information for confirming that the target resource is deactivated to the network device, so that the network device releases or recovers the target resource.

Third embodiment

The first RRC signaling may be used by the terminal device to determine that the target resource is in a first state, where the first state includes an activated state or a deactivated state, and the first RRC signaling may also carry a failure condition of the first state, so that the first RRC signaling may be used by the terminal device to convert the target resource from the first state to a second state when the terminal device meets the failure condition, where the second state is different from the first state.

For example, on the basis of the first example of the first embodiment or the second embodiment, the first RRC signaling may further carry a failure condition of the first state, so that the first RRC signaling may be used by the terminal device to convert the target resource from the first state to the second state when the terminal device meets the failure condition.

In general, if the first state is an activated state, the second state includes any one of a deactivated state and a released state; or if the first state is a deactivation state, the second state is an activation state.

Specifically, if the first state is an activated state and the second state is a deactivated state, the failure condition may include at least one of:

the terminal equipment does not use the target resource within a second preset time (such as m milliseconds);

the terminal device does not use the target resource in a preset number of periods (such as n periods);

the quality of a secondary link of the terminal equipment meets a first preset condition; and

the result of the sidelink measurement of the terminal device meets a second preset condition, and so on.

Wherein the secondary link quality or secondary link measurement result may be characterized by one or more of the following parameters:

reference Signal Received Power (RSRP),

reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ),

reference Signal Time Difference (RSTD),

received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI),

block Error Rate (Block Error Rate, B L ER),

channel occupancy (CR),

channel Busy Rate (CBR), and

Signal-to-Noise and Interference Ratio (SINR), and the like.

Further, when the quality of the secondary link is represented by one or more of the parameters, whether the quality of the secondary link meets the first preset condition may be determined by determining whether the parameters are higher or lower than a preset threshold. Similarly, when the measurement result of the secondary link is represented by one or more of the parameters, whether the measurement result of the secondary link meets the second preset condition may be determined by determining whether the parameters are higher or lower than a preset threshold.

Further, on the basis of the third embodiment, if the first state is an activated state and the second state is a deactivated state, the method may further include:

That is, after determining that the target resource is in the activated state according to the first RRC signaling, the terminal device may stop using the target resource to ensure that the target resource is in the deactivated state once it is determined that the terminal device meets the failure condition of the activated state carried in the first RRC signaling. And, can also report the acknowledgement information that the acknowledgement target resource has already been deactivated to the network equipment. After receiving the confirmation information that the target resource is deactivated, the network equipment can release or recycle the target resource; or, after receiving the confirmation information that the target resource has been deactivated, the network device may determine the time for activating the target resource next time according to the actual situation without releasing or recycling the target resource; of course, after receiving the acknowledgement information that the target resource has been deactivated, the network device may also send other RRC for reconfiguring or releasing the target resource at any time, and so on.

Optionally, in the third embodiment, the first RRC signaling and the RRC signaling configuring the target resource may be different signaling; alternatively, the first RRC signaling and the RRC signaling configuring the target resource may be the same signaling.

In the third embodiment of the present invention, if the first state is an activated state and the second state is a deactivated state, the target resource may be activated and deactivated (the deactivation operation is implied in the failure condition of the first state) through one RRC signaling (the first RRC signaling), and the target resource does not need to be deactivated through an additional RRC signaling after the target resource is activated through the first RRC signaling, so that the signaling overhead of the network device may be saved.

In summary, according to the method for configuring periodic resources provided in the embodiments of the present invention, since the network device determines the state of the target resource configured for the terminal device through the RRC signaling, instead of determining the state through the PDCCH as in the related art, the complexity of determining the state of the target resource can be reduced, so as to improve the utilization rate of the target resource and the communication efficiency of the entire system.

The above describes a periodic resource configuration method applied to a network device, and a periodic resource determination method applied to a terminal device will be described in detail with reference to fig. 4 and 5.

As shown in fig. 4, a method for determining a periodic resource provided in an embodiment of the present invention may be applied to a terminal device, and the method may include:

step 401, receiving a first radio resource control, RRC, signaling.

Step 402, determining a state of a target resource according to the first RRC signaling, where the target resource includes a periodic resource configured for a sidelink of the terminal device.

The following describes a procedure for determining a state of a target resource according to the first RRC signaling according to various embodiments.

Implementation mode one

Specifically, in an example, determining the state of the target resource according to the first RRC signaling may include: and according to the provisions of a preset protocol, determining that the target resource is in the first state when the first RRC signaling is received.

Or, in another example, determining the state of the target resource according to the first RRC signaling may include: and according to preset indication information carried in the first RRC signaling, when the first RRC signaling is received, determining that the target resource is in the first state.

Wherein the first state comprises an activated state or a deactivated state.

In the first embodiment, the target resource can be activated or deactivated while the target resource is configured to the terminal device through RRC signaling, and the target resource does not need to be activated or deactivated through additional signaling, so that signaling overhead can be saved.

Optionally, on the basis of the first embodiment, if the first state is the active state, the terminal device may deactivate, release or reconfigure the target resource through another RRC signaling (such as a second RRC signaling hereinafter) sent by the network device. And after determining that the target resource is in a deactivated state, a released state or a reconfigured state, the terminal device may further send acknowledgement information to the network device, where the acknowledgement information is used to trigger the network device to recover the target resource. Or, after determining that the target resource is in the deactivated state, the terminal device may further send acknowledgement information to the network device, where the acknowledgement information may be used to trigger the network device to release or recover the target resource.

Second embodiment

The first RRC signaling carries effective time information of a first state, where the first state includes an activated state or a deactivated state, where determining a state of a target resource according to the first RRC signaling may include:

In the first RRC signaling, the effective time point of the first state may be represented by two forms, one of which is represented by a relative time position; in another form, the representation is by absolute time points.

On this basis, if the first state is an active state, and the effective time of the first state carried in the first RRC signaling is a specific time (absolute time point), the terminal device may activate the target resource at the specific time after receiving the first RRC signaling, so as to start using the target resource after the specific time.

That is, after the terminal device determines that the target resource is in the first state through the first RRC signaling, the terminal device may also change the state of the target resource through the second RRC signaling. For example, after the terminal device determines that the target resource is in the activated state through the first RRC signaling, the terminal device may further deactivate, release or reconfigure the target resource through the second RRC signaling; or, after determining that the target resource is in the deactivated state through the first RRC signaling, the terminal device may further activate the target resource through a second RRC signaling.

That is, the terminal device suspends the use of the target resource from receiving the second RRC signaling, and may resume the use of the target resource after the suspension duration reaches the duration.

In another example, the duration information includes a start time point and a duration, and the restoring the target resource to the first state according to the duration information includes:

restoring the state of the target resource to the first state after the duration has elapsed from the start time point.

That is, the terminal device suspends the use of the target resource from the start time point, and can resume the use of the target resource after the suspension duration reaches the duration.

In yet another example, the duration information includes an end time point, and the restoring the target resource to the first state according to the duration information includes:

Wherein, the first preset time duration may be expressed by a specific time length, such as m milliseconds; alternatively, the first preset duration may be expressed by an integer multiple of a period of the target resource, such as n periods.

In addition, in the second example of the second embodiment, if the first state is the activated state, the second state is the deactivated state, so that the terminal device can activate and deactivate the target resource according to one RRC signaling (the first RRC signaling) (the deactivation operation is implicitly included in the effective time period of the activation operation), and does not need to deactivate the target resource through an additional RRC signaling after the target resource is activated according to the first RRC signaling, thereby saving signaling overhead.

Of course, optionally, if the first state is an activated state and the second state is a deactivated state, on the basis of the second example of the second embodiment, the terminal device may also stop using the target resource at any time according to another RRC signaling (such as the second RRC signaling mentioned above) sent by the network device, so as to enable the target resource to be in the deactivated state, the released state, or the reconfigured state.

and sending confirmation information to the network equipment, wherein the confirmation information is used for triggering the network equipment to release or recycle the target resource.

Third embodiment

The first RRC signaling further carries a failure condition of the first state, where the determining the state of the target resource according to the first RRC signaling further includes:

and when the failure condition is met, the target resource is converted from the first state to a second state, wherein the second state is different from the first state.

Specifically, if the first state is an activated state and the second state is a deactivated state, the failure condition includes at least one of the following conditions:

the terminal equipment does not use the target resource within a second preset time length;

the terminal equipment does not use the target resource within a preset number of periods;

and the measurement result of the secondary link of the terminal equipment meets a second preset condition.

and when the target resource is in a deactivated state, sending confirmation information to network equipment, wherein the confirmation information is used for triggering the network equipment to release or recycle the target resource.

That is, after determining that the target resource is in the activated state according to the first RRC signaling, the terminal device may stop using the target resource to ensure that the target resource is in the deactivated state once it is determined that the terminal device meets the failure condition of the activated state carried in the first RRC signaling. And, can also report the acknowledgement information that the acknowledgement target resource has already been deactivated to the network equipment.

In the third implementation manner provided in the embodiment of the present invention, if the first state is an activated state and the second state is a deactivated state, the terminal device may implement activation and deactivation of the target resource according to one RRC signaling (the first RRC signaling) (the deactivation operation is implicitly included in the failure condition of the first state), and it is not necessary to deactivate the target resource through an additional RRC signaling after the target resource is activated through the first RRC signaling, so that signaling overhead may be saved.

In summary, according to the method for determining periodic resources provided in the embodiments of the present invention, since the terminal device may determine the state of the target resource through the RRC signaling, where the target resource includes the periodic resource configured for the sidelink of the terminal device, instead of being determined through the PDCCH as in the related art, the complexity of determining the state of the target resource may be reduced, so as to improve the utilization rate of the target resource and the communication efficiency of the entire system.
