The communication system of the present application can also be applied to the vehicle to everything (V2X) technology, that is, the terminal device of the present application can also be a car, for example, a smart car or an autonomous car.

The "X" in V2X represents different communication targets. V2X can include but is not limited to: vehicle to vehicle (V2V), vehicle to roadside unit (V2I), vehicle to network (vehicle to network) , V2N), and vehicle to pedestrian (V2P). Among them, V2V can be regarded as a special case of device to device (D2D) communication. Through direct communication between vehicles, the status information of other vehicles and road conditions can be obtained in real time. For example, you can Real-time access to other vehicles' speed, driving direction, specific location, whether the emergency brake is applied, etc., so as to better assist vehicle driving and even realize automatic driving.

V2X services can be provided in two ways: namely, the way based on the PC5 interface and the way based on the Uu interface. The PC5 interface is an interface defined on the basis of a straight-through link, and by using this interface, communication transmission can be directly performed between communication devices (eg, automobiles). The PC5 interface can be used outside of coverage (OOC) and in coverage (IC), but only authorized communication devices can use the PC5 interface for transmission. The Uu interface is an interface used for wireless communication between a terminal and an access device.

Next, two main transmission modes in the V2X network are introduced: mode 1, a mode based on access device scheduling; mode 2, a UE autonomous resource selection mode. The two transmission modes have their own advantages and disadvantages, and can be flexibly used in various scenarios.

Mode one

It is mainly used for V2X communication within the coverage of the access device. This mode requires the UE to be in the radio resource control (RRC) connected state. Taking dynamic scheduling as an example, in the scheduling process, the UE first requests resources from the access device (for example, the eNB), and the access device will centrally allocate resources according to the buffer status report (BSR) of the UE. . Specifically, the base station may inform the transmitting end UE of the time-frequency resources of the sideline data through downlink control information (downlink control Information, DCI). Information (sidelink control Information, SCI) and data. In this transmission mode, the lateral transmission resources of each UE are uniformly scheduled by the access device, so resource collision can be avoided.

Mode two

Not limited by network coverage, the sending UE can also communicate in this mode without network coverage. In this mode, the UE no longer depends on the scheduling of the access device. The UE will select the sideline transmission resources based on the result of its own listening, and independently adjust the transmission format of control information and data on the V2X direct link.

In mode 2, assuming that the sending UE triggers resource selection at time slot n, the resource listening window can be defined as T time slots before the resource selection trigger, and the resource selection window can be defined as [n+T ₁ after the resource selection trigger. ,n+T ₂ ] corresponds to the time slot, the UE's specific resource listening and selection process is as follows:

First, the UE at the transmitting end listens to the SCIs sent by other UEs in the frequency domain resource pool within the resource listening window.

Then, the UE at the transmitting end judges the sensed SCI. If the monitored SCI includes resources that have been reserved by other UEs, and the reserved resources are located within the resource selection window [n+T ₁ , n+T ₂ ] of the UE at the transmitting end, then the UE at the transmitting end will compare the monitored SCI to the resource selection window [n+T 1 , n+T 2 ]. The corresponding resource is used to measure the reference signal received power (RSRP) of the physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH), and if the measured result is higher than the preset RSRP threshold Th _RSRP , the The candidate resource is excluded from the selection window. The above-mentioned preset RSPR threshold Th _RSRP is determined according to the priority corresponding to the data indicated in the SCI sensed by the transmitting end UE and the priority corresponding to the data to be sent by the transmitting end UE.

Finally, the UE at the transmitting end selects transmission resources from the remaining candidate resource sets, and sends sideline control and data to the UE at the receiving end on the selected resources.

Since the second mode is that each UE performs resource listening and selection respectively, resource collision may occur.

Optionally, in mode 2, resources can also be randomly selected in a special resource pool configured by a high layer, but the randomly selected resources have a high collision probability and transmission reliability is difficult to guarantee.

Hereinafter, some terms in the embodiments of the present application will be explained, so as to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art.

1. Sidelink (sidelink, SL)

The side link may also be called a side link, a side link, or the like, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application. In a V2X scenario, a side link is a direct link connection between two V2X terminals, and a V2X terminal is a terminal with V2X functions. The communication interface of the side link is the PC-5 air interface.

2. Sidelink SL transmission

Data transmission between two V2X terminals on the sidelink is called sidelink SL transmission.

Two V2X terminals may establish a sidelink connection before performing sidelink SL transmission. Two V2X terminals can establish a side link connection through the application layer. For example, two V2X terminals can establish a side link connection through an APP pairing. The side link is connected, but the access device does not perceive the specific interaction information.

In addition, the side link connection can also be established directly by two terminal devices without going through the access device. For example, the terminal device sends a broadcast message, and other terminal devices receive the broadcast message and determine whether to respond according to their own conditions. If successful In response, a side link connection is established between the above two terminal devices.

3. Communication resource pool

In LTE-V2X, a resource pool (RP) is defined. The resource pool is a resource pool consisting of time domain resources (composed of several sideline subframe subframes, each subframe contains consecutive M symbols) and frequency domain resources (composed of several subchannel subchannels, one subchannel is composed of several consecutive A resource set composed of RBs) is used for SL transmission between two terminals. For example, the sender sends the sideline control information SCI in the resource pool, and the SCI is carried on the PSCCH. SCI is used to schedule data, which is carried on PSSCH.

In this application, the resource pool may refer to resources used for sidelink control information and data transmission.

For example, for the time domain resources in the V2V common type resource pool, the access device may use a bitmap, and periodically repeat the bitmap to indicate the subframes used for V2V communication in all subframes in the system. A set, wherein the number of symbols occupied by SL transmission in each subframe is a fixed number of M symbols, and M may be defined as the duration of one SL time-domain transmission, or M as a time-domain transmission unit.

For example, for the frequency domain resources in the V2V common type resource pool, the access device divides the frequency band used for V2V communication into several sub-channels N, and the number of resource blocks n _CH (resource blocks, RB) in each sub-channel is The same, wherein the access device will indicate the sequence number of the first resource block of the frequency resource used for V2V communication. When scheduling V2X communication resources, scheduling is performed with sub-channel granularity in the frequency domain, and V2V SL transmission can occupy one or more sub-channels at a time.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the frequency domain resource includes several RBs, which means that the frequency domain resource includes the frequency domain bandwidth corresponding to the several RBs. For example, one RB includes 12 subcarriers, and the frequency domain resource is composed of 2 RBs, that is, the frequency domain resource is composed of 2*12=24 subcarriers. It should be noted that, the embodiment of the present application does not limit the number of subcarriers included in one RB.

4.SL frame structure

The time domain resources include one or more time units, and the time units may be radio frames, subframes, time slots, symbols, and the like. One radio frame may include multiple subframes, one subframe may include one or more time slots (slots), and one time slot may include at least one symbol (symbol). Alternatively, one radio frame may include multiple slots, and one slot may include at least one symbol.

An SL time slot is located in a time slot (slot) in the time domain and occupies multiple consecutive symbols (symbol), the start symbol position of the SL time slot (start symbol) and the number of occupied continuous symbols (SL Symbols length) are both. Configured by higher layers.

It should be noted that, all the SL time slots in the same resource pool have the same time domain starting position and the same number of time domain persistent symbols.

The SL physical channel transmitted on the SL time slot includes the physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH), the physical sidelink broadcast channel (PSBCH), the physical sidelink control channel (physical sidelink control channel, PSCCH) and the physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH).

Among them, PSBCH and sidelink physical synchronization signal block (S-SSB) are transmitted together, which are used to carry synchronization information such as sidelink frame number, resource pool time slot configuration, subframe number, etc. S-SSB includes primary synchronization Signal and secondary synchronization signal; PSFCH is used to carry the HARQ-ACK information of its corresponding PSSCH.

Wherein, PSSCH is used to carry data information, second control information and higher layer signaling information. The data information is service information from terminal equipment to terminal equipment. The second control information is mainly used to carry other control information other than the PSSCH DMRS, and may specifically include channel state information (CSI) reporting trigger information, the IP of the destination terminal of the PSSCH, the PSSCH HARQ process number, and the new data indication. (new data indicator), HARQ transmission version number and other information. The format of the second control information can be adjusted correspondingly according to the type of the service information carried. In other words, the second control information has multiple formats. The high-level signaling mainly refers to the signaling information of the media access control (media access control, MAC) layer.

Wherein, the PSCCH is used to carry control information, and the control information may be referred to as first control information, and the control information includes physical layer resource information of the sideline data channel, DMRS configuration information, the number of DMRS ports, coded modulation signals (modulation and modulation) code signal, MCS) and demodulation information such as the format of the second control information. Compared with the second control information, the number of control information bits carried by the first control information is fixed, so when the receiving end detects the PSCCH, it is not necessary to perform blind detection on the PSCCH format.

It should be noted that, in the same resource pool, the number of resources occupied by PSCCH transmission is fixed.

As an example and not a limitation, Figure 2 shows a schematic diagram of PSCCH and PSSCH in a specific frame structure. One PSSCH transmission in the frequency domain includes two subchannels, PSCCH is transmitted in one subchannel, and the subchannel bandwidth is 10PRB, The bandwidth of the PSCCH is the same as the subchannel bandwidth. 3 symbols occupied in the PSCCH time domain. The first symbol in the time domain is the copy of the second symbol, which is functionally the symbol for automatic gain control (AGC) at the receiving end. The last symbol is idle and does not map any information, which is convenient for the receiving end to perform sending and receiving switching. .

It should be noted that, in the frame structure of the prior art, in the frequency domain, one PSSCH transmission occupies an integer number of subchannels, that is, the minimum frequency domain granularity of the frequency domain resources occupied by PSSCH transmission is one subchannel. The number of PRBs is configured by the resource pool, and its starting position in the frequency domain is aligned with the minimum PRB index position of the subchannel; one PSCCH is limited to be transmitted in one subchannel, that is, the frequency domain bandwidth of the PSCCH is less than or equal to one subchannel bandwidth, when The domain occupies 2 to 3 symbols, and the number of PRBs in the specific PSCCH frequency domain bandwidth is configured by the resource pool, and is mapped on the subchannel with the smallest (low) frequency domain index of the PSSCH. In the time domain, PSSCH and PSCCH are transmitted in one SL slot. This application is also applicable to the frame structure in the prior art and the frame structure of other formats that may appear in the future, which is not limited in this application.

It should also be noted that since the minimum frequency domain granularity of the frequency domain resources occupied by PSCCH transmission is one subchannel, it is possible to send an independent PSSCH on each subchannel, that is, there may be PSCCH on each subchannel, so The receiving end needs to blindly detect the presence or absence of PSCCH on each subchannel. When the receiving end detects the PSCCH, it will decode the corresponding PSSCH according to the indication information of the first control information carried on it to obtain the second control information. content, and then further decode the data carried on the PSSCH.

It should be understood that when the PSSCH is transmitted, it needs to be transmitted together with a corresponding PSCCH to ensure that the starting position of the PSSCH and the PSCCH is the same in the frequency domain. That is, when the terminal detects the PSCCH, it can know the PSSCH corresponding to the PSCCH. The starting position of the frequency domain.

5. Resource reservation

Resource reservation refers to time-frequency resources that are determined or reserved in advance for data to be sent. The terminal may reserve periodic resources or aperiodic resources, or a combination of the two. For example, the terminal reserves a series of resources with a certain periodic interval, and also reserves one or more aperiodic resources in each periodic interval, and the aperiodic resources in the periodic interval can be used for the retransmission of the terminal. Both the above-mentioned mode 1 and mode 2 transmission modes support resource reservation. When the UE is in transmission mode 1, the resources for the UE to send PSSCH/PSCCH and the reserved resources come from the scheduling grant of the access device; when the UE is in the transmission mode 2, the resources for the UE to send PSSCH/PSCCH and the reserved resources are determined by the UE Determined according to its own listening results. Currently, the resource reservation methods supported by both Mode 1 and Mode 2 are as follows:

Resource reservation method one

If the resource pool where the PSCCH is located is configured for periodic resource reservation, it can indicate whether the data packet is a packet by carrying a field in the first-level control information corresponding to the PSCCH—resource reservation period (resource reservation period). There is periodic resource reservation. If the data packet has periodic resource reservation, this field can also be used to indicate the number of periodic reservations. This field may indicate whether the service corresponding to the PSCCH has periodic reservation. For example, if the field indicates that the period is 0ms, it means that there is no periodic resource reservation; if the field indicates that the period is x ms, and x is a positive integer greater than 0, it indicates that the service corresponding to the PSCCH has periodic reservations , and the reservation period is x ms.

Resource reservation method 2

By carrying fields in the first level control information corresponding to the PSCCH - time domain resource assignment (time resource assignment) and frequency domain resource assignment (frequency resource assignment). The resources reserved in this field can be used to indicate whether the transport block (TB) carried on the PSSCH corresponding to the PSCCH has resource reservation for retransmission. If the transport block has resource reservation for retransmission, this field also uses In order to indicate the specific time-frequency position reserved, its retransmission resources are indicated by the value TRIV (time resource indicator value) of the field time domain resource allocation and the value FRIV (frequency resource indicator value) of the frequency domain resource allocation.

According to the resource pool configuration, TRIV can indicate the current PSSCH and PSCCH transmission, or indicate the time domain position of the subsequent PSSCH and PSCCH retransmission resources. The maximum transmission times of the transport block can be configured by the resource pool. Specifically, taking the number of PSSCH and PSCCH retransmissions as one and two as an example, the meaning of the time domain resource allocation field is as follows:

[Correction 05.01.2021 under Rule 91]
Among them, N represents the number of transmissions of the last TB including the PSSCH corresponding to this PSCCH, and N is a positive integer; if N>1, it means that the TB has reserved retransmission resources, and t _i means the i-th transmission after the PSSCH/PSCCH The number of time domain offsets to this transmission, in units of logical time slots, if N=2, 1≤t ₁ ≤31; if N=3, 1≤t ₁ ≤30, t ₁ <t ₂ ≤31.

According to the resource pool configuration, the FRIV may indicate the current PSSCH and PSCCH transmission, or indicate the frequency domain location of the PSSCH and PSCCH retransmission resources for multiple subsequent times. Specifically, taking the number of PSSCH and PSCCH retransmissions as one and two as an example, the meaning of the frequency domain resource allocation field is as follows:

[Correction 05.01.2021 under Rule 91]

in

-

Indicates the starting subchannel index of the second resource reservation,

-

Indicates the starting subchannel index of the third resource reservation,

-

Indicates the number of subchannels in the resource pool where PSSCH and PSCCH are located.

It should be noted that when FRIV is used to indicate the frequency domain location of the subsequent PSSCH and PSCCH retransmission resources, the frequency domain bandwidth of each PSSCH and PSCCH retransmission resources indicated by FRIV may be the same or different. The size of the frequency domain bandwidth can be indicated by a bit value, which is not limited in this application.

It should also be noted that, in this embodiment of the present application, the first reserved resources are resources determined through resource reservation method 1, that is, resources reserved periodically, and the second reserved resources are determined through resource reservation method 2. Resources, that is, resources indicated by TRIV and FRIV.

It should be understood that the prior art supports multiple transmissions of one TB through PSSCH and PSCCH to ensure the reliability of transmission.

The resources reserved by the above two resource reservation methods include the following two ways of understanding:

way of understanding

When the resource reservation period x ms indicated in the first-level control information is not 0ms, it means that only the resources occupied by the PSSCH and PSCCH are reserved periodically. In other words, the resources reserved by the second resource reservation method TRIV Retransmission resources are only valid within this reservation period.

Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 3 , when TRIV indicates N=3, and the resource reservation period p indicated in the first-level control information is not 0ms, the PSSCH and PSCCH only indicate the periodic reservation of A series resources. Reservation, resources B1 and C1 reserved by TRIV are only limited in this cycle. The resource reservation period x ms indicates the time domain position of A2, where the time offset of A2 from A1 is x ms, that is, the interval is x ms.

way of understanding two

The resource reservation period x ms indicated in the first-level control information periodically reserves all resources indicated by TRIV, in other words, the pair of resources reserved by the second resource reservation method TRIV are reserved by the first reservation method. Each reservation period reserved is valid.

Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 4 , when the TRIV indication N=3, and the resource reservation period p indicated in the first-level control information is not 0 ms, the resource reservation period is valid for all resources indicated by the TRIV. Among them, TRIV reserves B1 and C1, and the resource reservation period that is not 0 reserves A2, B2 and C2 in the next period, and the time offset from A2, B2 and C2 to their corresponding A1, B1 and C1 is x ms.

It should be noted that the above resource reservation method is only an example and not a limitation. For other possible methods for realizing resource reservation, the solution of the present application can also realize the sharing of reserved resources among different terminals. Here This application does not make any limitation on the specific manner of reserving resources.

In the prior art, the resources reserved by the above two methods are only used by the reserved terminal itself, and the reserved resources between different terminals are independent of each other and cannot be shared, resulting in a certain degree of resource waste.

In the prior art, if the terminal selects transmission resources in the resource pool in the self-selected mode according to the result of its own listening, the terminal needs to receive the SL signal in each time slot and decode each possible PSSCH and PSCCH. When the terminal device is a power consumption sensitive device, for example, it is inconvenient to charge, or a device with a relatively small battery capacity, if the terminal device selects resources based on interception, the power consumption is large, and it is difficult to meet the service continuity requirements. In addition, the terminal can also randomly select resources from a specially configured resource pool for transmission, but the randomly selected resources have a high collision probability and transmission reliability is difficult to guarantee.

The present application proposes a communication method, which can realize resource sharing between terminals through cooperation, which can not only save a certain amount of resource overhead, but also ensure the reliability of resource selection for power consumption-sensitive terminals. The following description takes the application of the communication method provided by the embodiment of the present application to a V2X scenario as an example for description.

It should be noted that the present application can be applied to the V2X transmission scenario within the coverage of the access device, the V2X transmission scenario partially covered by the access device, and the V2X transmission scenario not covered by the access device.

It should be understood that the communication method provided in this embodiment of the present application may be executed by the terminal device in FIG. 1 . It should be noted that the terminal device may be the entire terminal of the terminal, or one or more components in the terminal that can execute the following method processes. A combination of individual components, or a chip in a terminal capable of implementing the following method process, etc., are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

It should be noted that, in the prior art, the receiving process of the receiving end is as follows. The receiving end will blindly detect the presence or absence of the PSCCH on each sub-channel. the indication information, decode the corresponding PSSCH to obtain the content of the second control information, and further decode the data carried on the PSSCH.

It should also be understood that, in this application, the link for communication between the terminal devices involved in the above-mentioned V2X system is referred to as a side link, which does not constitute any limitation to this application. For example, a side link may also be called a side link, a straight-through link, or a secondary link, or the like. Corresponding to the specific different functions of the side link can have different names. For example, the side link that transmits auxiliary information can be called the auxiliary link; in addition, it is not necessarily limited to the V2X system. In other scenarios, The link for communication between end devices may also be referred to as a side link.

Referring to FIG. 5 , which is a flowchart of a communication method 100 provided by an embodiment of the present application, the method may be executed by two V2X terminals, and the communication method is described below by taking the first terminal and the second terminal as examples. As shown in Figure 3, the method includes:

S101, a first terminal establishes a sidelink connection with a second terminal.

As an example and not a limitation, two possible manners for establishing a sidelink connection between the first terminal and the second terminal will be described below.

way A

Two V2X terminals can establish a side link connection through the application layer. For example, two V2X terminals can establish a side link connection through an APP pairing. The side link is connected, but the access device does not perceive the specific interaction information.

way B

The side link connection can be established directly by two terminal devices without going through the access device. For example, the terminal device sends a broadcast message, and other terminal devices receive the broadcast message and determine whether to respond according to their own conditions. If the response is successful, then A sidelink connection is established between the above two terminal equipments.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the present application, the first terminal and the second terminal may establish an auxiliary relationship, or the first terminal and the second terminal may establish a cooperative relationship between terminals, or the first terminal and the second terminal may form a unicast pair. It is understood that the first terminal establishes a side link connection with the second terminal.

S102, the first terminal determines the first resource.

The first terminal may use the method in the above transmission mode 1 to determine the first resource, and the access device may schedule the sideline transmission resources for the first terminal, or the method in the above transmission mode 2 may be used to determine the first resource, and the first terminal By listening to the autonomous selection of sideline transmission resources in the communication resource pool, it is also possible to randomly select the first resource in the special resource pool configured by the higher layer, and the first resource is reserved by the first terminal for sideline transmission. Resources.

It should be understood that the above-mentioned first resource is a reserved resource of the first terminal, and the reserved resource refers to a time-frequency reserved resource determined in advance for data to be sent.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned first resources include resources that can be used by the first terminal to transmit sideline information of the first terminal, and resources that can be used by the second terminal to transmit sideline information of the second terminal. Among the resources, a resource used by the second terminal to transmit the sideline information of the second terminal is called a second resource, and the second resource is a subset of the first resource.

In a possible implementation manner, the first terminal determines the first resource according to a preset requirement, and the preset requirement is determined through negotiation after the first terminal and the second terminal establish a sidelink connection. Non-limiting, the preset requirement may be that the first terminal sends indication information to the second terminal with a period of P ms, where P is a positive integer, and the indication information is used to indicate the number and location of physical resources, and the size of the physical resources is two. The default size negotiated by the user.

Optionally, further, the second resource in the first resource may be determined according to the size of the resource bearing the third information, or in other words, the second resource is determined according to the third information, and the third information includes the service request ( service requirement, SR) and/or buffer state report (buffer state report, BSR), the second resource may be based on the number of bits included in the resource request information and/or the buffer state report, or the third information may be bearer resource request group information and/or Or the size of the resources required for the buffer status report packet is determined. It should be noted that, in this case, the above-mentioned second resource can be used for sending the second information, and the second resource at this time is the same as the third resource determined by the first terminal when the second terminal has no resource selection capability. Equivalent, both are determined by the first terminal according to the size of carrying third information, and the third information is a subset of the second information.

It should be noted that the second terminal may use the above-mentioned second resource to send sideline information of the second terminal, where the sideline information includes control information and/or data, for example, a service requirement (SR) of the second terminal, Buffer state report (BSR), data to be sent on the second terminal, etc.

It should be understood that the second terminal may send sideline information to the first terminal by using the second resource in the above-mentioned first resources, and may also send sideline information to other terminals, which is not limited in this application.

In another possible implementation manner, the first terminal determines the first resource according to the second information, and in this case, the communication method further includes step S103, the second terminal sends the second information to the first terminal, and the second information is used for The second terminal determines a second resource, where the second resource is a resource used for sideline transmission by the second terminal.

As an example and not limitation, the second information includes resource request information of the second terminal, and the resource request information is used to trigger the first terminal to determine the first resource. Specifically, the resource request information may include a service request (service requirement, SR). ).

As an example and not a limitation, the second information includes resource requirement information of the second terminal, such as the size of physical resources specifically required by the second terminal, or the number of bits of data to be sent by the second terminal, etc. The resource requirement information is used for The first terminal determines the time-frequency position of the first resource. Specifically, the resource request information may include a buffer state report (buffer state report, BSR).

Before the second terminal sends the second information to the first terminal, the second terminal needs to determine a third resource, where the third resource is a sideline transmission resource used by the second terminal to send the second information, and then the third resource how to determine it.

In the first possible scenario, the second terminal does not have the ability to select resources, and the access device does not schedule resources for the second terminal that can be used for sidelink transmission, that is, the second terminal currently does not have the ability to send the resources of the second information, after the first terminal establishes a sidelink connection with the second terminal, the first terminal determines the third resource according to the size of the resource used to carry the third information, where the third information is resource request information and/or or buffer status reports. Or the first terminal determines the third resource according to third information, where the third information is the number of bits included in the resource request information and/or the buffer status report, or the third information is the bearer resource request group information and/or the buffer status report packet Required resource size. The second terminal sends the above-mentioned second information to the first terminal on the third resource. It should be noted that, in this case, when the second resource is determined according to the size of the resource bearing the third information, the second resource is equal to the third resource, and both are determined by the first terminal according to the size of the third information bearing. , are used to send the service request of the second terminal (service requirement,

SR), buffer state report (BSR), data to be sent on the second terminal, and so on.

Optionally, the first terminal determines the third resource according to a preset requirement, and the preset requirement is determined through negotiation after the first terminal and the second terminal establish a sidelink connection. As an example and not a limitation, the preset requirement is The requirement may be that the first terminal sends indication information to the second terminal with a period of P ms, where P is a positive integer, and the indication information is used to indicate the number and location of physical resources, and the number of physical resources is a default value determined through negotiation between the two , the number of information bits carried by the third information is also preset by the two parties through negotiation. The third information may be periodic service data transmission or control information transmission (SR/BSR).

It should be noted that, the third resource determined by the first terminal according to the size of the resource bearing the third information may be periodic or aperiodic, which is not limited in this application.

As an example and not a limitation, the first terminal device determines the third resource according to the size of the resource bearing the third information, where the third resource includes periodic resource reservation. When the second terminal has a sidelink transmission resource requirement, the second information is sent on the third resource, and the above-mentioned period may be determined by negotiation after the first terminal and the second terminal establish a sidelink connection.

It should be understood that when the second terminal has a sideline transmission resource requirement, the second terminal may select a third resource with the smallest delay to send the second information.

In the second possible scenario, the second terminal has the capability of resource selection, the second terminal can determine the third resource by itself, and the way for the second terminal to determine the third resource can be based on the access The scheduling of the device is determined, either through the transmission mode 2 described above, based on the autonomous selection of the UE, or determined by random selection in a special resource pool configured by a high layer.

Optionally, the second terminal may determine a sidelink transmission resource before establishing a sidelink transmission link with the first terminal, so as to be used for establishing a sidelink link connection between the second terminal and the first terminal in Mode B of S101.

It should be understood that the second terminal is a terminal that has resource assistance requirements. Specifically, the second terminal may be a power consumption-sensitive terminal. For example, the terminal device is inconvenient to charge, or a device with a relatively small battery capacity, or even a device without resource selection. capable terminal, which is not limited in this application.

S104, the first terminal sends the first information to the second terminal.

Specifically, the first terminal sends first information to the second terminal, where the first information is used to determine a second resource, and the second resource is a resource for the second terminal to send sideline information.

In a possible implementation manner, the first information includes resource reservation information, indication information and allocation information of shared resources.

The reservation information of the resource is used to indicate the reserved resource, and the reserved resource includes the first reserved resource and/or the second reserved resource, and the first reserved resource is determined by the resource reservation method 1 The resource is a periodically reserved resource, and the second reserved resource is a resource determined by resource reservation mode 2, that is, a resource indicated by TRIV and FRIV.

As an example and not a limitation, the resource reservation information may be indicated by a related field carried in the first-level control information.

The indication information is used to instruct the second terminal to use the second resource to send sideline information, that is, to instruct the second terminal to share the reserved resources of the first terminal.

In a first possible implementation manner, the related field carried in the first-level control information directly instructs the second terminal to share the reserved resources of the first terminal.

In a second possible implementation manner, a related field carried in the first-level control information indicates a second-level control information format, and the field in the second-level control information corresponding to the format indicates the resources reserved by the first terminal It can be shared with other terminals, that is, the resources reserved by the first terminal are not only used for sending sideline information of the first terminal, but also can be used for sending sideline information of the second terminal.

As an example and not a limitation, the fields in the above-mentioned second-level control information may be used by the second terminal to determine the specific parsing method of the second-level control information. For example, a related field carried in the first-level control information indicates a second-level control information The format is format 3. At this time, the number of bits carried in the second-level control information corresponding to format 3 is a fixed number, and the specific value of the kth field in the second-level control information is used to indicate the specific value of the second control information. Parsing mode, the parsing mode indicates that the resources reserved by the first terminal can be shared with other terminals. For example, k=1, that is, the first bit of the second control information is used to express different parsing modes of the second control information. For example, the value of the first bit can be 1 to indicate that the second-level control information contains Share allocation information, and parse the second-level control information according to the corresponding analysis method; correspondingly, the value of the first bit can be 0 to indicate that the second-level control information does not contain shared allocation information, that is, all The first resource indicates the reservation information of the first terminal, which will not be shared with other terminal users, and then parses the second-level control information according to a corresponding parsing method.

The allocation information of the shared resources is used to indicate the reserved resources of the first terminal, that is, the specific use allocation of the first resources between the first terminal and the second terminal. A second resource is determined in the resource.

In a first possible implementation manner, the allocation information of the shared resource may be indicated by a related field carried in the second-level control information, and the allocation information of the shared resource includes a specific resource allocation mode ( pattern), the index corresponding to the resource allocation pattern (pattern index), and the number of reservation periods n of the periodically reserved resources corresponding to the resource allocation pattern;

Specifically, taking the possible understanding of the two resource reservation methods mentioned above as an example, two possible specific allocation methods for the shared resource are introduced:

Based on the first understanding of resource reservation, the number of transmissions N of a TB including the PSSCH and PSCCH this time is a times and the number of reservation cycles n is b times as an example, as an example and not a limitation, Table 1 Specifically, a possible correspondence between the index and the resource allocation mode is given:

Table 1

[Correction 05.01.2021 under Rule 91]

In the above table, T indicates that the corresponding reserved resources are used for data transmission of the first terminal. Specifically, the transmission content may be the cooperation information between the first terminal and the second terminal, that is, the second information; in the table, A (assistance) indicates that the corresponding The reserved resources are used for data transmission by the second terminal. Specifically, the content of the data to be sent may be resource coordination request information or data information sent by the second terminal to the first terminal, that is, the first information, or the content of the data sent by the second terminal to the first terminal. Data information sent by other terminals.

Based on the second understanding of resource reservation, the number of transmissions N of a TB including the PSSCH and PSCCH this time is a times and the number of reservation cycles n is b times as an example, as an example and not a limitation, Table 2 Specifically, a possible correspondence between the index and the resource allocation mode is given:

Table 2

In a second possible implementation manner, the allocation information of the shared resource may be indicated by a related field carried in the second-level control information, and the allocation information of the shared resource includes a specific resource allocation mode ( pattern), the bit corresponding to the resource allocation pattern, the number of bits of the bit is also used to indicate the number of reservation cycles n of the periodically reserved resources corresponding to the resource allocation pattern;

Based on the first understanding of resource reservation, taking the number of transmissions N of a TB including this PSSCH and PSCCH being a times and the number of bits being c bits as an example, the number of reservation periods n is c-a +1 times, as an example and not a limitation, Table 3 specifically gives a possible correspondence between bits and resource allocation modes:
