Description

协作消息传输的方法及终端 技术领域
本申请实施例涉及通信领域,并且更具体地,涉及一种协作消息传输的方法及终端。
背景技术
基于蜂窝网络的设备到设备(Device-to-Deceive,D2D)通信,也可以称为端到端(End to End)通信或邻近服务(Proximity Service,ProSe),是指终端数据可不经过网络中转而直接在终端之间进行传输。在D2D通信模式下,终端数据直接在终端之间传输,避免了蜂窝通信中终端数据经过网络中转传输,由此产生链路增益。另外,用于不同D2D的资源可以复用,以及D2D通信与蜂窝通信的资源可以复用,由此可产生资源复用增益。通过链路增益和资源复用增益则可提高无线频谱资源的效率,进而提高整体网络的吞吐量。D2D通信在3GPP LTE系统中的标准化工作已经从Release-12版本开始,并在Release-13版本得以加强。
进行D2D通信的两个终端之间的链路可以称为D2D链路或端到端链路或边链路(Sidelink,SL)。两个终端之间的空口(Air Interface)可以称为PC-5。D2D通信的工作场景可以包括:有网络覆盖(In-Coverage,IC)和无网络覆盖(Out-of-Coverage,OoC)。
处于OoC场景的至少两个终端之间进行D2D通信时,可能任何一个终端都无法与外界进行通信交互,此时,至少两个终端如何与外界获得联系是一个亟需解决的问题。

具体实施方式
下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行描述。
应理解,在本申请实施例中,终端可称为用户设备(User Equipment,UE)、接入终端、终端设备、用户单元、用户站、移动站、移动台、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、用户终端、无线通信设备、用户代理或用户装置。终端可以是蜂窝电话、无绳电话、会话启动协议(Session Initiation Protocol,SIP)电话、无线本地环路(Wireless Local Loop,WLL)站、个人数字处理(Personal Digital Assistant,PDA)、具有无线通信功能的手持设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备以及 未来新无线(New Radio,NR)网络中的终端设备等。
D2D通信是一种直联通信技术。终端之间的数据交互不需要通过基站进行转发。终端之间可以直接进行交互或者在网络的辅助作用下直接进行交互。
在第三代合作伙伴计划(3rd Generation Partnership Project,3GPP)长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)的D2D描述中,定义了用于进行D2D信息收发的资源为D2D资源池(D2D Resource Pool),具体地,用于发送信息的资源池称为发送资源池,用于接收信息的资源池为接收资源池。D2D资源池在频域上是由一系列资源块(Resource Block,RB)组成,在时域上由一系列符号(Symbol)组成。在3GPP LTE D2D中,SL的RB和符号的定义可以与蜂窝通信的上行链路(Uplink,UL)相同。
D2D通信的工作场景可以包括:IC和OoC。如图1所示,终端20和终端30处于基站10的服务范围60之内,终端40和终端50处于基站10的服务范围60之外。终端20与终端30之间的D2D通信属于IC的工作场景;终端40与终端50之间的D2D通信属于OoC的工作场景。
在OoC场景,由于没有关联到任何网络设备(如基站,eNB),无法由网络来分配/配置资源池,终端40和终端50必须按照自身预先配置的资源池来收发信息。
在OoC场景,终端40会在预先定义的接收资源池(Resource Pool)中搜寻边链路同步信号(Sidelink Synchronization Signal,SLSS)以及边链路主系统信息块(Master Information Block-Sidelink,MIB-SL)。如果在一定时间内没有接收到SLSS或MIB-SL,则终端40将会在预先定义的发送资源池中主动发送SLSS和/或MIB-SL,并通过在预定义的数值范围内随机选择一个数值作为SLSS标识(Identity,ID)来标识自己。如果终端50收到来自终端40的SLSS和/或MIB-SL,并通过正确解码获得相应的同步信号和/或系统信息,终端50便可以与发送SLSS和/或MIB-SL的终端40(称为SyncRef终端)进行同步,同时终端50可以配置与终端40相同的SLSS ID用于来标识自己。终端50也可以按照终端40所包含的同步信号和/或系统信息的内容,来发送SLSS和/或MIB-SL。这样,其他终端可以与该已同步的终端(即终端50)进行同步,从而间接地与终端40完成同步。
D2D通信大致可以分为D2D发现和D2D传输两个阶段。其中,D2D发现是指终端发送发现消息(discovery announcement),而其他终端通过读取该发现消息而获得发送该发现消息的终端的信息。该发现消息可以包括发送该发现消息的终端的身份信息,例如标识(identity)。D2D传输是指终端发送控制信息和数据。其他终端通过读取该控制信息得到后续的数据的传输格式等信息,从而正确接收后续的数据。
以图1中的终端40和终端50为例,在OoC场景,终端40会在预先定义的发送资源池中的物理边链路发现信道(Physical Sidelink Discovery Channel,PSDCH)上发送发现消息(Discovery announcement)。同理,终端50也会在预先定义的接收资源池中的PSDCH上搜寻发现消息。正确接收到发现消息的终端50便可以发现发送方(即发送发现消息的终端40),从而完成发现流程。在OoC场景的D2D传输中,终端没有关联到任何网络设备(如基站,eNB),因而无法获得由网络来分配配置资源池。终端必须按照自身预先配置的资源池来收发信息以实现通信。举例来说,终端40会在预先定义的发送资源池中的物理边链路控制信道(Physical Sidelink Control Channel,PSCCH)上发送边链路控制信息(Sidelink Control Information,SCI)格式0(Format 0)信令。在物理边 链路共享信道(Physical Sidelink Shared Channel,PSSCH)上发送介质访问控制协议数据单元(Media Access Control Protocol Data Unit,MAC PDU),即数据包。通过在利用预先定理的发送资源池中的资源向终端50发送信令或数据,终端40可以实现与终端50的通信。
其中,SCI格式0用于调度PSSCH,也就是,终端50需要根据正确接收的SCI格式0中的信息来解码终端40所发出的PSSCH,进而获得数据包中的信息。SCI格式0所包含的信息可以如下表1所示:
表1
Figure PCTCN2017091647-appb-000001
举例来说,图2中所示的终端11和两个终端12,可以按照上述的方法完成相互之间的同步,并进行D2D通信。当该三个终端均处于OoC状态时,没有任何一方可以与外界进行通信交互。例如,在自然灾害救援中,终端11和两个终端12处于受困待紧急救援中,并且由于某种原因(例如,网络瘫痪)处于OoC状态。因此需要考虑如何使得该三个终端与外界进行通信交互(连接到网络)。
图3是本申请实施例的协作消息传输的方法的示意性流程图。应注意,尽管图3中协作消息的发送端示出了两个终端:终端11和终端12,实际上终端的数量可以为三个或更多个,或者,可以理解为,终端12代表至少一个终端,本申请对此不限定。图3所示的方法包括:
S102,终端11向终端12发送指示消息。
S104,终端11与终端12一起,在相同的时频资源上发送协作消息。
这里,终端11可以称为指示消息的发送端,终端12可以称为指示消息的接收端,且指示消息的接收端的数量可以为一个或多个。
具体地,在S102中,终端11通过SL发送指示消息,该指示消息可以包括时频资源 的指示信息,且该指示消息用于指示接收端(如终端12)在该时频资源上发送协作消息。
本申请实施例中,协作消息可以为发现消息、数据消息或同步消息。其中,数据消息可以是在PSSCH上发送的包含控制信息和/或数据信息的消息。同步消息可以包括同步信号,例如为SLSS。
本申请实施例中,终端11发送指示消息以发起与终端12的协作传输,可以称为主协调方,或者称为主协作终端(Master Cooperation终端,MC-终端)。
可选地,本申请实施例中,在S102之前,还可以包括:终端11与终端12完成D2D同步。其中,MC-终端可以在D2D的同步过程中确定,具体地,如果终端11在一段时间内不能检测出SLSS,终端11选择主动发送SLSS和MIB-SL以供其他终端可以和自身同步,随后终端12检测到终端11的同步信号并与终端11进行同步,则此时终端11可以作为MC-终端发起EU协作。MC-终端的选择亦可以通过终端11与终端12之间的信令交互来协商确定,例如终端11主动发起D2D通信,要求成为MC-终端,经过终端11与终端12之间的交互确定终端11为MC-终端。
作为一种实现方式,在S102中,终端11可以在第一物理信道上发送该指示消息。其中,该第一物理信道为控制信道,作为一例,该第一物理信道为物理边链路控制信道(Physical Sidelink Control Channel,PSCCH)。
可选地,指示消息可以为一个新定义的L1层控制信令,例如LTE中的SCI格式,即SCI格式1。该SCI格式1所包含的内容可以如下的表2所示:
表2
Figure PCTCN2017091647-appb-000002
具体地,终端11可以通过端到端的接口(例如LTE中的PC-5),在预先定义的发送资源池中选择用于PSCCH的时频资源(即发送资源)来发送SCI格式1。
其中的“资源块分配和跳频资源分配”和“时间资源模式”为时频资源的指示信息。也就是说,本申请实施例中的指示消息包括时频资源的指示信息。
如图4所示,在S102中,指示消息的发送端为终端11,指示消息的接收端为终端12,且该指示消息为在PSCCH上发送的SCI格式1。相对应地,图5表示在S104中,协作消息的发送端为终端11和终端12,协作消息的接收端为终端13,且终端11与终端12在相同的时频资源上发送该协作消息,其中指示消息包括该时频资源的指示信息。
参照前述表1的SCI格式0可知,SCI格式1在SCI格式0的基础上增加了标示(Flag)。也就是说,本申请实施例中的指示消息还可以进一步包括标示(Flag)。可选地,该标示为第一标示,第二标示或第三标示,其中,第一标示用于指示终端12在所述时频资源上发送发现消息;第二标示用于指示终端12在所述时频资源上发送数据消息;第三标示用于指示终端12在所述时频资源上发送同步消息。或者,第一标示用于指示终端12在所述时频资源上,在物理边链路发现信道(Physical Sidelink Discovery Channel,PSDCH)上发送发现消息;第二标示用于指示终端12在所述时频资源上,在物理边链路共享信道(Physical Sidelink Shared Channel,PSSCH)发送数据消息;第三标示用于指示终端12在专用于发送同步信号(synchronization signal,SS)的时频资源上发送同步消息,例如,可以在物理同步信道上发送同步消息。
可选地,本申请实施例中的标示的长度可以为2比特。举例来说,“01”表示第一标示,“10”表示第二标示,“11”表示第三标示。或者,举例来说,“00”表示第一标示,“01”表示第二标示,“10”表示第三标示。等等,本申请对此不作限定。
可选地,本申请实施例中的标示的长度也可以为1比特。利用该比特的第一值和第二值来分别指示发送发现消息以及发送数据消息。举例来说,“0”表示第一标示,“1”表示第二标示。其中,第一标示用于指示终端12在所述时频资源上发送发现消息;第二标示用于指示终端12在所述时频资源上发送数据消息。
作为另一种理解,指示消息用于指示终端12在所述时频资源上发送协作消息。或者指示消息用于指示在第二物理信道上发送协作消息,其中,第二物理信道占用的时频资源即为所述时频资源。其中,若指示消息中的标示为第一标示,则第二物理信道为发现信道,如PSDCH,协作消息为发现消息。若指示消息中的标示为第二标示,则第二物理信道为共享信道,如PSSCH,协作消息为数据消息。若指示消息中的标示为第三标示,则第二物理信道为物理同步信道(即专用于发送同步信号的时频资源),协作消息为同步消息。
其中,第一标示可以为格式1A(可以认为是SCI Format 1的一个子类),第二标示可以为格式1B(可以认为是SCI Format 1的一个子类),第三标示可以为格式1C(可以认为是SCI Format 1的一个子类)。也就是说,该标示可以为格式1A或格式1B或格式1C,相应地,可以认为SCI格式1包括三种子格式,分别为SCI格式1A、SCI格式1B和SCI格式1C。
具体地,若表2中的标示为格式1A,则为子格式SCI格式1A;若表2中的标示为格式1B,则为子格式SCI格式1B;若表2中的标示为格式1C,则为子格式SCI格式1C。
其中,格式1A可以用于指示终端12发送发现消息。格式1B可以用于指示终端12发送数据消息。格式1C可以用于指示终端12发送同步消息。
对于终端12来说,可以根据所接收到的消息的长度确定所收到的是SCI格式0还是 SCI格式1。如果确定为SCI格式1,进一步可以根据标示(Flag)的内容确定子格式为SCI格式1A或SCI格式1B或SCI格式1C,从而终端12可以确定将要发送的协作消息为发现消息或数据消息或同步消息。
可选地,终端12可以参照用于区分不同下行控制信息(Downlink Control Information,DCI)Format的方式区分SCI格式0与SCI格式1,这里不再赘述。
其中,作为一例,若S102中的指示消息中的标示为格式1B,即指示消息的子格式SCI格式1B。那么在S104中,终端11和终端12可以在发送数据消息之前先向终端13发送控制信息。
如图6所示,图6表示在S102中,指示消息的发送端为终端11,指示消息的接收端为终端12,且该指示消息为在PSCCH上发送的SCI格式1B。相对应地,图7表示在S104中,协作消息的发送端为终端11和终端12,协作消息的接收端为终端13。终端11和终端12在相同的时频资源上向终端13发送控制信息,随后再在另一相同的时频资源上发送数据消息。其中,终端11与终端12发送的数据消息的内容是相同或一致的。例如,终端11与终端12发送的数据消息都用于指示终端13将所述协作消息转发至其他设备。
具体地,如图7所示,终端11和终端12可以在相同的时频资源上(例如在PSCCH上发送控制信息),该控制信息为SCI格式0。其中,发送控制信息的时频资源的指示信息包括在S102的指示消息中。进一步地,终端13根据正确接收的SCI格式0中的信息来解码终端11和终端12在相同的另一时频资源上(例如在PSSCH所发送的数据),该数据为边链路数据(Sidelink Data,SL Data)。其中,发送数据的时频资源(即相同的另一时频资源)可以是由控制消息(即SCI格式0)指示的。
作为另一种实现方式,在S102中,终端11可以通过L2层的数据包,即通过特殊的媒体访问控制(Media Access Control,MAC)协议数据单元(Protocol Data Unit,PDU)承载该指示消息。此处的MAC PDU的特殊之处体现在其并不携带传统的数据信息,而是携带控制信息。并且,相比于传统的PSSCH MAC PDU,其不需要携带子头域(sub-header)。也就是说,上述如表2所示SCI格式1的内容可以承载在与PSCCH对应的数据消息中。
可选地,在S102之前,还可以包括:终端11在控制信道上发送控制信息。这里的控制信道为PSCCH,控制信息为SCI格式0。进一步地,在S102中,终端11在共享信道上发送MAC PDU。
也就是说,在S102中,终端11可以在第一物理信道上发送该指示消息。其中,该第一物理信道为共享信道,例如为PSSCH。且该指示消息携带在MAC PDU中。
其中,终端11可以事先配置PSCCH的控制信令SCI格式0,并使用SCI格式0所指示的时频资源发送MAC PDU。相应地,终端12接收SCI格式0,并在SCI格式0所指示的时频资源上,按照指定的方式解码PSSCH上由终端11发送的数据包,即MAC PDU。
如图8所示,图8表示在S102中,发送端为终端11,接收端为终端12。终端11在PSCCH上发送控制消息,该控制消息为SCI格式0,随后终端11在PSSCH上发送MAC PDU。其中指示信息携带在该MAC PDU中。相对应地,图9表示在S104中,协作消息的发送端为终端11和终端12,协作消息的接收端为终端13。且终端11与终端12在相 同的时频资源上发送协作消息。可理解,若图9中的终端11和终端12发送数据,可以参照图7所示的过程,这里不再赘述。
其中,MAC PDU可以包括MAC头域(header)和MAC服务数据单元(Service Data Unit,SDU),如图10所示。指示消息为MAC PDU。或指示消息为MAC SDU,该MAC SDU包括在MAC PDU中,且MAC PDU还包括MAC头域。其中,MAC SDU包括第一字段,MAC头域包括第二字段。该第二字段用于指示MAC SDU包括第一字段,该第一字段用于指示终端12发送协作消息。可选地,第一字段可以为标示(Flag),第二字段可以为协作指示(Cooperation Flag,CF),如下所述。
本申请实施例中的MAC头域可以为专用于D2D通信的MAC子头域,该MAC子头域包括一个“协作指示(Cooperation Flag,CF)”。可选地,当CF字段的值为第一值时,MAC子头域所在的MAC PDU为协作数据包(Cooperation MAC PDU)。相应的MAC SDU为协作MAC SDU(Cooperation MAC SDU)。协作MAC SDU包括标示(Flag)字段。当CF字段的值为第二值时,MAC SDU不包括标示(Flag)字段。本申请实施例中,协作MAC PDU是指包括协作MAC SDU的MAC PDU,其中,协作MAC SDU包括上述的SCI格式1的格式和内容。
在一种可能的实现方式中,本申请实施例中的MAC头域包括SL-SCH子头域,不再包括R/E/E/L/LCID/L子头域。具体地,现有的LTE协议中,MAC头域除了包括SL-SCH子头域,还必须包括一个R/E/E/L/LCID/L子头域来对应MAC SDU。然而,在本申请实施例中SL-SCH子头域中的CF字段可以用于指示是否为协作MAC PDU(例如,CF=1表示该MAC PDU为协作MAC PDU)。也就是说,本申请实施例中的MAC PDU已经不是传统的数据包,其中的MAC SDU的格式是固定的(即SCI格式1的格式),因此无需再包括R/E/E/L/LCID/L子头域。
如图10所示,其中的MAC头域包括版本(Version,V)字段、CF字段、源地址(SRC)字段和目的地址(DST)字段,另外还可以包括一个或多个预留(R)字段,图10中示出了3个R字段。其中,V字段用于表示该MAC PDU格式版本。R字段为预留比特,默认设置可以为0。SRC字段为层2源标识(Source Layer-2ID),用于标识源。DST字段为层2目标标识(Destination Layer-2ID),用于标识目标。
如图10所示,其中的MAC SDU包括标示(Flag)、跳频标示(Frequency hopping flag)、资源块分配和跳频资源分配(Resource block assignment and hopping resource allocation)、时间资源模式(Time resource pattern)、调制和编码方式(Modulation and Coding Scheme,MCS)、定时提前指示(Timing advance indication)、和组目标地址(Group destination ID)。
可理解,MAC头域中的CF字段可以用于指示MAC SDU是否包括标示(Flag)字段。例如,作为一例,CF字段的值为1指示该MAC SDU包括标示(Flag)字段;该CF字段的值为0指示该MAC SDU不包括标示(Flag)字段。或者,作为另一例,CF字段的值为0指示该MAC SDU包括标示(Flag)字段;该CF字段的值为1指示该MAC SDU不包括标示(Flag)字段。
相应地,对于终端12来说,可以根据MAC头域中的CF字段确定相应的MAC SDU是否包括标示(Flag)字段。
对照前述的表2,可见MAC SDU所包括的内容与前述SCI格式1所包括的内容相同。可选地,本申请实施例中的标示字段可以包括第一标示或第二标示或第三标示。相 应地,关于该标示的描述可以参见上述实施例的相关描述,为避免重复,这里不再赘述。
可选地,利用MAC头域中的预留字段(或预留字段的一部分)指示协作消息的类型(例如指示协作消息是发现消息)。此时,MAC SDU中无需标示(Flag)字段,MAC头域中也无需单独定义CF字段。
另外,可选地,指示消息还可以进一步包括协作消息的目的地址信息,例如终端13的地址信息。这样,终端12可以根据该指示消息所包括的目的地址信息,直接确定将要发送的协作消息的目的地址。
进一步地,在S104中,具体地,终端11与终端12使用相同的MCS,在相同的时频资源上,向相同的目标地址(如终端13)发送相同的协作消息。
作为一例,该相同的目标地址可以是广播地址或预先设定好的特殊地址。举例来说,如果终端11和终端12均不知道是否存在至少一个终端13时,则在S104中,终端11和终端12可以使用广播地址或预先设定好的特殊地址作为目标地址。其中,预先设定好的特殊地址可以是指专用于接收协作消息的地址,例如,可在标准中预先设定。相应地,终端13可以根据该广播地址或预先设定好的特殊地址接收协作消息。
可选地,在发送协作消息时,可以设定协作目标标识(Cooperation Destination ID),该协作目标标识为广播地址或预先设定好的特殊地址。相应地,还可以设定与协作目标标识对应的协作源标识(Cooperation Source ID)。这样,能够便于协作消息的发送端和接收端进行信息收发。
作为另一例,如果终端11和终端12中任何一个终端知道存在至少一个终端13时,终端11和终端12便可以使用终端13的地址作为目标地址。
有可能是,终端13曾经通过某种途径使得终端11和/或终端12获知终端13的地址信息。例如,终端13可以使用本申请实施例的协作消息传输的方法使得终端11和/或终端12接收到终端13的协作消息。若终端11已经知道终端13的存在,那么,作为一种实现方式,指示消息可以包括终端13的地址信息。若指示消息包括终端13的地址信息,则在S104中,终端11与终端12一起向终端13发送协作消息。若终端12已经知道终端13的存在,那么,可以在终端11与终端12的先前D2D传输中,由终端12将终端13的地址信息通知终端11。
这样,协作消息将会得到功率增益,也就是说可以扩大该协作消息的覆盖范围,使得距离相对较远的终端13能够接收到该协作消息。
可选地,本申请实施例中的协作消息可以包括特殊信息,该特殊信息用于指示终端13将该协作消息转发至其他设备。
举例来说,如果终端13处于网络覆盖范围内,也就是说,终端13能够直接与网络设备进行通信,则终端13可以将该协作消息转发至所在的小区的网络设备(如基站)。举例来说,终端13可以将该协作消息转发至能够与终端13进行通信的其他的中继终端或D2D终端等。
另外,应注意,尽管本申请上述实施例假设终端11与终端12处于OoC场景,本申请上述的方法也可以应用于IC的场景。也就是说,若终端11与终端12处于网络覆盖范围之内,也可以通过上述的协作消息传输的方法实现功率增益,例如,图3中的终端11可以替换为终端20,终端12可以替换为终端30等,本申请对此不限定。
图11是本申请实施例的协作消息传输的方法的另一个示意性流程图。图11所示的 方法由第一终端执行,其中,该第一终端可以为前述实施例中的终端11,该方法包括:
S201,第一终端向第二终端发送第一信息,该第一信息用于指示第二终端发送第二信息。
S202,第一终端,与所述第二终端一起,在相同的时频资源上向第三终端发送所述第二信息。
本申请实施例中,通过第一终端发送的第一信息的指示,第一终端与第二终端一起在相同的时频资源上向相同的目的地发送相同的信息,能够使得第二信息得到功率增益,也就是说可以变相地扩大该第二信息的覆盖范围,使得距离相对较远的第三终端能够接收到该第二信息。
可选地,第一信息可以是第一终端在第一终端与第二终端之间的SL上发送的。其中,该第一信息可以承载在第一物理信道上,该第一物理信道可以为控制信道或共享信道。例如,控制信道为PSCCH,共享信道为PSSCH。
可选地,第二信息可以为发现消息或数据消息(如包括SL数据)或同步消息(如包括SLSS)。其中,第二信息可以承载在第二物理信道上。例如,若第二信息为发现消息,第二物理信道为控制信道(如PSDCH);若第二信息为数据消息(如SL Data),第二物理信道为共享信道(如PSSCH);若第二信息为同步消息(如SLSS),第二物理信道为专用于发送同步信号的时频资源信道(可理解为物理同步信道)。
可选地,S202中的时频资源可以是预先约定的,可以是第一终端在S201之前的信令或信息中指示的,可以是S201中的第一信息所指示的,本申请对此不限定。
作为一种实现方式,该第一信息为指示消息,第二信息为协作消息。且该指示消息包括时频资源的指示信息,所述指示消息用于指示所述第二终端在所述时频资源上向第三终端发送协作消息。其中,S201可以参照前述图3的实施例中S102所述,S202可以参照前述图3的实施例中S104所述,为避免重复,这里不再赘述。

可选地,该第一信息可以承载在第一物理信道上,该第一物理信道可以为控制信道或共享信道。例如,控制信道为PSCCH,共享信道为PSSCH。
可选地,第二信息可以为发现消息或数据消息(如包括SL数据)或同步消息(如包括SLSS)。其中,第二信息可以承载在第二物理信道上。例如,若第二信息为发现消息,第二物理信道为控制信道(如PSDCH);若第二信息为数据消息,第二物理信道为共享信道(如PSSCH);若第二信息为同步消息,第二物理信道为专用于发送同步信号的时频资源信道(可理解为物理同步信道)。
可选地,S302中的时频资源可以是预先约定的,可以是第一终端在S301之前的信令或信息中指示的,可以是S301中的第一信息所指示的,本申请对此不限定。
作为一种实现方式,该第一信息为指示消息,第二信息为协作消息。且该指示消息包括时频资源的指示信息,所述指示消息用于指示所述第二终端在所述时频资源上向第三终端发送协作消息。其中,S301可以参照前述图3的实施例中S102所述,S302可以参照前述图3的实施例中S104所述,为避免重复,这里不再赘述。

作为一例,第一物理信道为控制信道,如PSCCH。
作为另一例,第一物理信道为共享信道,如PSSCH。且第一发送单元401在发送指示消息之前,还用于在PSCCH上向第二终端发送控制信息,该控制信息用于指示该指示消息的时频资源等。
