Abstract

A conflict indication method and apparatus, and an electronic device are provided. The conflict indication method is performed by a first terminal, and the method includes: in a case that a resource or transmission conflict is determined, indicating the resource or transmission conflict to a second terminal, including any one of the following: transmitting conflict indication signaling to the second terminal; performing conflict indication through a physical sidelink channel PSxCH; and performing conflict indication through a physical sidelink feedback channel PSFCH resource corresponding to a resource under conflict.

Claims (52)

or

conflict information carried on the PSxCH indicates that a PSCCH and/or PSSCH resource reserved for a PSCCH and/or PSSCH resource associated with a PSxCH resource encounters a conflict; a PSCCH and/or PSSCH occasion precedes an associated PSxCH occasion; a minimum time interval between each PSCCH/PSSCH occasion and the associated PSxCH occasion is Kmin, the PSxCH associated with the PSCCH/PSSCH occasion is a first PSxCH, before the PSCCH/PSSCH, that satisfies the interval.

2 . The conflict indication method according to claim 1 , wherein a first time at which the conflict indication signaling is transmitted satisfies any one of the following:

being after a second time and having an interval to the second time less than a first threshold or not greater than the first threshold, wherein the second time is a time at which the resource or transmission conflict is detected;

being before the resource under conflict and having an interval to a time at which the resource under conflict is present greater than a second threshold or not less than the second threshold; and

being before a third time and having an interval to the third time greater than a third threshold or not less than the third threshold, wherein the third time is a time at which reserved indication signaling or indication signaling for the resource under conflict is transmitted.

3 . The conflict indication method according to claim 1 , wherein a PSxCH resource comprises at least one of a time domain resource, a frequency domain resource, and a code domain resource; wherein

the time domain resource comprises L time domain basic units predefined by a protocol, configured by a control node, or pre-configured, L being a positive integer;

the frequency domain resource comprises F frequency domain basic units predefined by a protocol, configured by a control node, or pre-configured, F being a positive integer; and

the code domain resource comprises C code sequences predefined by a protocol, configured by a control node, or pre-configured, or is a code sequence generated according to a sequence generation rule predefined by a protocol, configured by a control node, or pre-configured, C being a positive integer.

4 . The conflict indication method according to claim 1 , wherein state information of the PSxCH is expressed using any one of the following:

at least one of a time domain basic unit, a frequency domain basic unit, and a code sequence; and

a coded bit.

5 . The conflict indication method according to claim 1 , wherein the PSxCH channel comprises X PSxCH occasions in time domain, the PSxCH occasion comprises Y PSxCH frequency domain resources, and the PSxCH channel comprises Z code domain resources, X, Y, and Z being positive integers.

6 . The conflict indication method according to claim 1 , wherein in the case that the conflict information carried on the PSxCH indicates that a PSCCH and/or PSSCH resource associated with a PSxCH resource encounters a conflict;

different information state values of the PSxCH indicate a PSCCH conflict and a PSFCH conflict respectively; or a same information state indicates a PSCCH conflict or a PSFCH conflict.

7 . The conflict indication method according to claim 1 , wherein in the case that the conflict information carried on the PSxCH indicates that a PSCCH and/or PSSCH resource reserved for a PSCCH and/or PSSCH resource associated with a PSxCH resource encounters a conflict;

the conflict information indicates that the PSCCH and/or PSSCH resource reserved using reservation information of a preset category encounters a conflict;

the PSCCH and/or PSSCH resource reserved using the reservation information of the preset category comprises:

a first aperiodically reserved PSCCH/PSSCH; or

a first in the next period of periodically reserved PSCCH/PSSCH.

8 . The conflict indication method according to claim 1 , wherein the PSxCH resource has a time-domain association with the PSCCH and/or PSSCH resource, comprising any one of the following:

one PSCCH or PSSCH occasion being associated with one PSxCH occasion;

a plurality of PSCCH and/or PSSCH occasions being associated with one PSxCH occasion;

one PSCCH or PSSCH occasion being associated with a plurality of PSxCH occasions; and

a plurality of PSCCH and/or PSSCH occasions being associated with a plurality of PSxCH occasions.

9 . The conflict indication method according to claim 1 , wherein a time interval, or maximum time interval between the PSCCH and/or PSSCH occasion and the associated PSxCH occasion is K, K being a duration predefined by a protocol, configured by a control node, or pre-configured.

10 . The conflict indication method according to claim 1 , wherein

a resource on a PSCCH and/or PSSCH occasion corresponding to a PSxCH occasion is numbered; and

a PSxCH resource on a PSxCH occasion is numbered; where

each numbered PSCCH or PSSCH resource corresponds to one or more numbered PSxCH resources.

11 . An electronic device comprising a processor, a memory, and a program or instructions stored in the memory and capable of running on the processor, wherein when the program or instructions are executed by the processor, following steps are implemented:
