Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, methods, devices and computer readable storage media for sensing procedure in sidelink transmission. The method comprises performing a sensing procedure for a set of candidate resources associated with a sidelink transmission within a first sensing window after a first time slot; generating a sensing report at least based on the sensing procedure; and providing the sensing report from a physical layer to a higher layer at a second time slot determined based on at least one reference slot associated with the set of candidate resource. In this way, the sensing result of a sensing procedure after the sensing trigger slot can be reported.

Claims (17)

1 . A method comprising:

performing, by a terminal device, in a case where a higher layer parameter “sl-MultiReserveResource” is disabled, a sensing procedure for a set of candidate resources associated with a sidelink transmission within a sensing window,

wherein the sensing window starts at 31 slots before y,

wherein the sensing window ends at (a first offset+a second offset) slots earlier than y, and

wherein the y is a first slot of candidate slots.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the sensing window is after a sensing trigger slot n.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , comprising:

receiving the higher layer parameter “sl-MultiReserveResource”,

wherein the higher layer parameter is not configured or is absent.

4 . A terminal comprising:

a processor configured to perform, in a case where a higher layer parameter “sl-MultiReserveResource” is disabled, a sensing procedure for a set of candidate resources associated with a sidelink transmission within a sensing window,

wherein the sensing window starts at 31 slots before y,

wherein the sensing window ends at (a first offset+a second offset) slots earlier than y, and

wherein the y is a first slot of candidate slots.

5 . The terminal device according to claim 4 , wherein the sensing window is after a sensing trigger slot n.

6 . The terminal device according to claim 4 , wherein the processor is configured to receive the higher layer parameter “sl-MultiReserveResource”, and

wherein the higher layer parameter is not configured or is absent.
