Abstract

A data transmission method and a terminal device are disclosed, which may solve the data transmission problems of a sidelink when the size of a time unit of a downlink and the size of a time unit of the sidelink are not the same. The method includes that a terminal device receives first control information sent by a network device, and determines a sending time for sidelink data according to the first control information.

Claims (26)

1. A method for data transmission, comprising:

receiving, by a terminal device, first control information sent by a network device; and

determining, by the terminal device, transmission time of sidelink data according to first indication information carried in the first control information;

wherein the first indication information is used for indicating an offset value of a time unit relative to a specific boundary, and determining, by the terminal device, the transmission time of the sidelink data according to the first indication information carried in the first control information comprises:

determining, by the terminal device, the transmission time of the sidelink data according to the specific boundary and the offset value.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first control information is downlink control information (DCI).

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the specific boundary is a boundary of a radio frame period.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the specific boundary is determined according to a second downlink time unit, the second downlink time unit is a time unit of a downlink on which the terminal device receives the first control information, and the first indication information is used for indicating an offset value of a time unit relative to a first downlink time unit.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein determining, by the terminal device, the transmission time of the sidelink data according to the specific boundary and the offset value comprises:

determining, by the terminal device, a first available sidelink time unit after n sidelink time units immediately following the specific boundary as the transmission time of the sidelink data,

wherein the n is the offset value.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the time unit is a subframe or a time slot.

7. A terminal device, comprising a processor and a transceiver, wherein

the transceiver is configured to receive first control information sent by a network device; and

the processor is configured to determine transmission time of sidelink data according to first indication information carried in the first control information;

wherein the first indication information is used for indicating an offset value of a time unit relative to a specific boundary, and the processor is further configured to:

determine the transmission time of the sidelink data according to the specific boundary and the offset value.

8. The terminal device of claim 7 , wherein the first control information is downlink control information (DCI).

9. The terminal device of claim 7 , wherein the specific boundary is a boundary of a radio frame period.

10. The terminal device of claim 7 , wherein the specific boundary is determined according to a second downlink time unit, the second downlink time unit is a time unit of a downlink on which the terminal device receives the first control information, and the first indication information is used for indicating an offset value of a time unit relative to a first downlink time unit.

11. The terminal device of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine a first available sidelink time unit after n sidelink time units immediately following the specific boundary as the transmission time of the sidelink data,

wherein the n is the offset value.

12. The terminal device of claim 7 , wherein the time unit is a subframe or a time slot.

13. 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 to perform the method according to claim 1 .

14. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a computer program, wherein the computer program enables a computer to perform the method according to claim 1 .
