Abstract

A terminal device, a network device, a storage medium, and a connection configuration method. The connection configuration method includes reporting, by a first terminal device, to a network device connection, status of the first terminal device with at least one second terminal device.

Claims (26)

1. A method for connection configuration, comprising:

receiving, by a first terminal device, configuration information sent by a network device, wherein the configuration information is used to configure a set of multiple transmission resources for a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), and the PUCCH is used for the first terminal device to report connection status of the first terminal device with at least one second terminal device;

receiving, by the first terminal device, Downlink Control Information (DCI), wherein the DCI comprises a sidelink transmission resource allocated for the first terminal device, and the DCI further comprises indication information which comprises index information, and the index information is used for determining one transmission resource among the multiple transmission resources for the PUCCH;

determining, by the first terminal device, the transmission resource for the PUCCH according to the configuration information and the index information;

reporting, by the first terminal device, to the network device, the connection status of the first terminal device with the at least one second terminal device on the transmission resource for the PUCCH determined by the first terminal device;

wherein the connection status reported by the first terminal device to the network device comprises: that the first terminal device and the at least one second terminal device perform a unicast communication; and information relating to Quality of Service (QoS) information sent by the at least one second terminal device to the first terminal device;

wherein the connection status is separately reported according to a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) category of the at least one second terminal device, wherein the PLMN category comprises a same PLMN and a different PLMN, the same PLMN means that a Home PLMN (HPLMN) of the at least one second terminal device is the same as a PLMN of a currently accessed network system, and the different PLMN means that the HPLMN of the at least one second terminal device is different from the PLMN of the currently accessed network system.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the connection status further comprises: Quality of Service (QoS) information of a connection between the first terminal device and the at least one second terminal device.

3. A method for connection configuration, comprising:

configuring, by a network device, connection status of a first terminal device with at least one second terminal device for the first terminal device;

sending, by the network device, configuration information to the first terminal device, wherein the configuration information is used to configure a set of multiple transmission resources for a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), and the PUCCH is used for the first terminal device to report the connection status of the first terminal device with the at least one second terminal device;

sending, by the network device, Downlink Control Information (DCI) to the first terminal device, wherein the DCI comprises a sidelink transmission resource allocated for the first terminal device, and the DCI further comprises indication information which comprises index information, and the index information is used for determining one transmission resource among the multiple transmission resources for the PUCCH;

wherein the connection status reported by the first terminal device to the network device on the transmission resource for the PUCCH determined by the first terminal device according to the configuration information and the index information comprises: that the first terminal device and the at least one second terminal device perform a unicast communication; and information relating to Quality of Service (QoS) information sent by the at least one second terminal device to the first terminal device;

wherein the connection status is separately reported according to a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) category of the at least one second terminal device, wherein the PLMN category comprises a same PLMN and a different PLMN, the same PLMN means that a Home PLMN (HPLMN) of the at least one second terminal device is the same as a PLMN of a currently accessed network system, and the different PLMN means that the HPLMN of the at least one second terminal device is different from the PLMN of the currently accessed network system.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the connection status further comprises Quality of Service (QoS) information of a connection between the first terminal device and the at least one second terminal device.

5. A first terminal device, comprising:

a memory for storing computer programs; and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to execute the computer programs to:

receive configuration information sent by a network device, wherein the configuration information is used to configure a set of multiple transmission resources for a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), and the PUCCH is used for the first terminal device to report connection status of the first terminal device with at least one second terminal device;

receive Downlink Control Information (DCI), wherein the DCI comprises a sidelink transmission resource allocated for the first terminal device, and the DCI further comprises indication information which comprises index information, and the index information is used for determining one transmission resource among the multiple transmission resources for the PUCCH;

determine the transmission resource for the PUCCH according to the configuration information and the index information;

report to the network device the connection status of the first terminal device with the at least one second terminal device on the transmission resource for the PUCCH determined by the first terminal device;

wherein the connection status reported by the first terminal device to the network device comprises: that the first terminal device and the at least one second terminal device perform a unicast communication; and information relating to Quality of Service (QoS) information sent by the at least one second terminal device to the first terminal device;

wherein the connection status is separately reported according to a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) category of the at least one second terminal device, wherein the PLMN category comprises a same PLMN and a different PLMN, the same PLMN means that a Home PLMN (HPLMN) of the at least one second terminal device is the same as a PLMN of a currently accessed network system, and the different PLMN means that the HPLMN of the at least one second terminal device is different from the PLMN of the currently accessed network system.

6. The first terminal device according to claim 5 , wherein the connection status further comprises: Quality of Service (QoS) information of a connection between the first terminal device and the at least one second terminal device.
