Abstract

Methods and devices for resource allocation are provided. The method includes the following. A first terminal receives BSR information from a second terminal. The first terminal allocates a first transmission resource to the second terminal.

Claims (39)

1. A method for resource allocation, comprising:

receiving, by a first terminal, buffer status report (BSR) information from a second terminal;

receiving, by the first terminal, first information from the second terminal, wherein the first information comprises a candidate transmission resource indicator, wherein the candidate transmission resource indicator is for indicating available transmission resource that is in a first resource selection window; and

allocating, by the first terminal, a first transmission resource to the second terminal based on the BSR information and the first information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving, by the first terminal, BSR information from the second terminal comprises:

receiving, by the first terminal, first sidelink (SL) transmission channel transmitted by the second terminal, wherein the BSR information is carried by the first SL transmission channel.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the first SL transmission channel is a first SL control channel, and the BSR information is carried by first SL control information that is carried in the first SL control channel.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the first SL transmission channel is a first SL data channel, and the BSR information is carried by data that is carried in the first SL data channel.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the first SL control information carries a third information field, and the third information field is for indicating that the first SL control information carries scheduling request (SR) information.

6. The method of claim 3 , wherein the first SL control information carries a fourth information field, and the fourth information field is for indicating SR information.

7. The method of claim 4 , wherein SR information is carried by data that is carried in the first SL data channel.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, by the first terminal, a second SL transmission channel transmitted by the second terminal, wherein SR information is carried by the second SL transmission channel.

9. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the first information further comprises at least one of: a channel quality indicator (CQI), channel state information (CSI), or a modulation and coding scheme (MCS).

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

determining, by the first terminal, the first resource selection window according to one of:

pre-configuration information;

network configuration information; or

configuration information received from a third terminal.

11. A method of resource allocation, comprising:

transmitting, by a second terminal, buffer status report (BSR) information to a first terminal, the BSR information being used for the first terminal to allocate a first transmission resource to the second terminal; and

transmitting, by the second terminal, first information to the first terminal, wherein the first information comprises a candidate transmission resource indicator, wherein the candidate transmission resource indicator is for indicating available transmission resource that is in a first resource selection window.

12. A device for resource allocation, comprising:

a transceiver;

at least one processor; and

a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the transceiver to:

receive buffer status report (BSR) information from a terminal; and

receive first information from the terminal, wherein the first information comprises a candidate transmission resource indicator, wherein the candidate transmission resource indicator is for indicating available transmission resource that is in a first resource selection window;

the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the processor to:

allocate a first transmission resource to the terminal based on the BSR information and the first information.

13. The device of claim 12 , wherein the transceiver is configured to receive a first sidelink (SL) transmission channel transmitted by the terminal, wherein the BSR information is carried by the first SL transmission channel.

14. The device of claim 13 , wherein the first SL transmission channel is a first SL control channel, and the BSR information is carried by first SL control information that is carried in the first SL control channel.

15. The device of claim 13 , wherein the first SL transmission channel is a first SL data channel, and the BSR information is carried by data that is carried in the first SL data channel.

16. The device of claim 14 , wherein the first SL control information carries a third information field, and the third information field is for indicating that the first SL control information carries scheduling request (SR) information.

17. The device of claim 14 , wherein the first SL control information carries a fourth information field, and the fourth information field is for indicating SR information.

18. The device of claim 15 , wherein SR information is carried by data that is carried in the first SL data channel.

19. The device of claim 12 , wherein the transceiver is further configured to receive a second SL transmission channel transmitted by the terminal, wherein SR information is carried by the second SL transmission channel.

20. The device of claim 12 , wherein the first information further comprises at least one of: a channel quality indicator (CQI), channel state information (CSI), or a modulation and coding scheme(MCS).
