Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a resource reporting method, a terminal device, and a network device. The terminal device may select a resource to listen to and select a resource to report. In addition, the resource listening approach and the resource reporting approach can be flexibly determined. Therefore, the communication requirements of Release 15 or higher releases can be satisfied. The method includes a terminal device reports to a network device the measurement result of a first wireless time-frequency resource used for terminal-to-terminal communication. The terminal device is a terminal device supporting a network scheduling mode of a terminal-to-terminal communication resource.

Claims (56)

1. A method for reporting a resource, comprising:

obtaining, by a terminal device, first configuration information configured by a network device;

determining, by the terminal device, a first wireless time-frequency resource according to the first configuration information, the first wireless time-frequency resource being used for terminal-to-terminal communication;

obtaining, by the terminal device, second configuration information configured by the network device;

determining, by the terminal device, a second wireless time-frequency resource according to the second configuration information;

obtaining, by the terminal device, a measurement result of the first wireless time-frequency resource by sensing the second wireless time-frequency resource; and

reporting, by the terminal device, the measurement result of the first wireless time-frequency resource to the network device, the measurement result comprising resource availability information,

wherein the terminal device supports a network scheduled terminal-to-terminal communication resource mode, and

wherein a time position or range of the first wireless time-frequency resource to be reported by the terminal device is indicated by a first index.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first configuration information is configured to indicate at least one of:

a time position or range of a wireless time-frequency resource to be reported by the terminal device;

a frequency position or width of the wireless time-frequency resource to be reported by the terminal device; or,

a quantity of the wireless time-frequency resource to be reported by the terminal device.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first configuration information comprises the first index.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises determining, by the terminal device, the first wireless time-frequency resource according to a target service.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining, by the terminal device, the first wireless time-frequency resource comprises at least one of:

determining, by the terminal device, a time position or range of the first wireless time-frequency resource;

determining, by the terminal device, a frequency position or width of the first wireless time-frequency resource; or

determining, by the terminal device, a quantity of the first wireless time-frequency resource.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second configuration information is configured to indicate at least one of:

a time position or range of a wireless time-frequency resource to be sensed by the terminal device;

a frequency position or width of the wireless time-frequency resource to be sensed by the terminal device; or

a quantity of the wireless time-frequency resource to be sensed by the terminal device.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining, by the terminal device, the second wireless time-frequency resource comprises at least one of:

determining, by the terminal device, a time position or range of the second wireless time-frequency resource;

determining, by the terminal device, a frequency position or width of the second wireless time-frequency resource; or

determining, by the terminal device, a quantity of the second wireless time-frequency resource.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the reporting, by the terminal device, the measurement result of the first wireless time-frequency resource used for terminal-to-terminal communication to the network device comprises periodically reporting, by the terminal device, the measurement result of the first wireless time-frequency resource to the network device.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the measurement result is carried in at least one of a radio resource control (RRC) signaling, a media access control control element (MAC CE), a buffer status report (BSR), or a physical uplink control channel.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the measurement result further comprises at least one of following information of the first time-frequency resource: time-frequency location information; RSRP information; RSSI information; or RSRQ information.

11. A terminal device, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory,

wherein the memory is configured to store a computer program, and the processor is configured to call and run the computer program stored in the memory, and execute:

obtaining first configuration information configured by a network device;

determining a first wireless time-frequency resource according to the first configuration information, the first wireless time-frequency resource being used for terminal-to-terminal communication; and

obtaining, by the terminal device, second configuration information configured by the network device;

determining, by the terminal device, a second wireless time-frequency resource according to the second configuration information;

obtaining, by the terminal device, a measurement result of the first wireless time-frequency resource by sensing the second wireless time-frequency resource; and

reporting the measurement result of the first wireless time-frequency resource to the network device, the measurement result comprising resource availability information,

wherein the terminal device supports a network scheduled terminal-to-terminal communication resource mode, and

wherein a time position or range of the first wireless time-frequency resource to be reported by the terminal device is indicated by a first index.

12. The terminal device according to claim 11 , wherein the first configuration information is configured to indicate at least one of:

a time position or range of a wireless time-frequency resource to be reported by the terminal device;

a frequency position or width of the wireless time-frequency resource to be reported by the terminal device; or

a quantity of the wireless time-frequency resource to be reported by the terminal device.

13. The terminal device according to claim 11 , wherein the first configuration information comprises the first index.

14. The terminal device according to claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine the first wireless time-frequency resource according to a target service.

15. The terminal device according to claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to perform at least one of:

determining a time position or range of the first wireless time-frequency resource;

determining a frequency position or width of the first wireless time-frequency resource; or

determining a quantity of the first wireless time-frequency resource.

16. The terminal device according to claim 11 , wherein the second configuration information is configured to indicate at least one of:

a time position or range of a wireless time-frequency resource to be sensed by the terminal device;

a frequency position or width of the wireless time-frequency resource to be sensed by the terminal device; or

a quantity of the wireless time-frequency resource to be sensed by the terminal device.
