Abstract

A resource determination method and apparatus, a node and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are disclosed. The method may include: acquiring, by a first communication node, configuration information configured by a second communication node; and selecting, by the first communication node, a target resource among a plurality of pre-configured resources according to the configuration information, where the pre-configured resources are time and frequency domain resources configured by the second communication node.

Claims (29)

1 . A resource determination method, comprising:

acquiring, by a first communication node, configuration information configured by a second communication node; and

selecting, by the first communication node, a target resource among a plurality of pre-configured resources according to the configuration information,

wherein the pre-configured resources are time and frequency domain resources configured by the second communication node;

wherein the configuration information comprises initial transmission configuration information;

wherein the initial transmission configuration information comprises:

information enabling the first communication node to select the target resource, and to select a resource with minimum interference;

wherein the first communication node performs a separate measurement on each sub-band and obtains an interference strength and a channel occupancy rate for each sub-band;

in response to the interference strength of a sub-band is less than a corresponding threshold value and the channel occupancy rate is below a corresponding threshold value, the first communication node determines that the interference on the sub-band is small and then selects a resource on the sub-band; or

in response to the interference strength of a sub-band is less than a corresponding threshold value and the channel occupancy rate is below a corresponding threshold value, and the interference strength value is minimum or the channel occupancy rate value is minimum, the first communication node determines that the interference on the sub-band is small and then selects a resource on the sub-band.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information further comprises retransmission configuration information, and the retransmission configuration information comprises:

information enabling the first communication node to select the target resource, and to select a target resource with minimum interference based on a retransmitted data packet transport block size (TBS); or

information enabling selection of the target resource for retransmission according to a pre-configured resource attribute, wherein the pre-configured resource attribute is a preemption priority or whether to allow occupancy.

3 . A resource determination method, comprising:

configuring, by a second communication node, a plurality of pre-configured resources;

configuring, by the second communication node, configuration information or indication information; and

sending, by the second communication node, the configuration information or the indication information to a first communication node;

wherein:

the pre-configured resources are configured time and frequency domain resources; the configuration information is used to instruct the first communication node to select a target resource among the plurality of pre-configured resources according to the configuration information; the configuration information comprises initial transmission configuration information; the initial transmission configuration information comprises: information enabling the first communication node to select the target resource, and to select a frequency domain resource with minimum interference; wherein the first communication node performs a separate measurement on each sub-band and obtains an interference strength and a channel occupancy rate for each sub-band; in response to the interference strength of a sub-band is less than a corresponding threshold value and the channel occupancy rate is below a corresponding threshold value, the first communication node determines that the interference on the sub-band is small and then selects a resource on the sub-band; or in response to the interference strength of a sub-band is less than a corresponding threshold value and the channel occupancy rate is below a corresponding threshold value, and the interference strength value is minimum or the channel occupancy rate value is minimum, the first communication node determines that the interference on the sub-band is small and then selects a resource on the sub-band; or

the indication information is used to instruct the first communication node to compete for a frequency domain resource among the plurality of pre-configured resources according to the indication information; the indication information comprises: a competition priority, wherein in response to the first communication node being configured with a low competition priority, the competition is delayed during the competition for a channel, and the delay time is specified by the second communication node, or whether to delay competition, wherein after acquiring the indication information, the first communication node delays for a certain period of time before competing for a channel according to the indication information, and the delay time is specified by the second communication node.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the configuration information further comprises retransmission configuration information, and the retransmission configuration information comprises one of:

information enabling the first communication node to select the target resource, and to select a target resource with minimum interference based on a retransmitted data packet transport block size (TBS); or

information enabling selection of the target resource for retransmission according to a pre-configured resource attribute, wherein the pre-configured resource attribute is a preemption priority or whether to allow occupancy.

5 . A node, comprising:

a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored on the memory and executable by the processor, wherein the computer program, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to implement the resource determination method of claim 1 .

6 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, wherein the computer program, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to implement the resource determination method of claim 1 .

7 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, wherein the computer program, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to implement the resource determination method of claim 3 .

8 . A node, comprising:

a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored on the memory and executable by the processor, wherein the computer program, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to implement the resource determination method of claim 3 .
