Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a user equipment, a network side device, a wireless communication method and a storage medium. The user equipment of the present disclosure comprises a processing circuit, the processing circuit being configured to: generate channel occupancy time (COT) sharing indication information, wherein the COT sharing indication information comprises time frequency resources used by other user equipments when the user equipment shares a COT with the other user equipments; and send the COT sharing indication information to the other user equipments. By using the user equipment, the network side device, the wireless communication method and the storage medium of the present disclosure, COT sharing can be supported in a D2D communication mode, thereby enabling a channel to be utilized more reasonably, and simplifying a usage process of an unauthorized frequency band in D2D communication.

Claims (36)

1. A user equipment, comprising processing circuitry configured to:

generate Channel Occupy Time (COT) sharing indication information comprising time frequency resources used by other user equipment when the user equipment shares COT with the other user equipment; and

transmit the COT sharing indication information to the other user equipment.

2. The user equipment according to claim 1 , wherein the COT sharing indication information comprises a start time and an end time of time resources used by the other user equipment when the user equipment shares COT with the other user equipment.

3. The user equipment according to claim 1 , wherein the COT sharing indication information comprises time frequency resources used by each other user equipment of a plurality of other user equipments when the user equipment shares COT with the other user equipment.

4. The user equipment according to claim 3 , wherein the COT sharing indication information further comprises time frequency resources used when two other user equipments share COT with each other.

5. The user equipment according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:

receive, from the other user equipment, COT use indication information about a use condition by the other user equipment with respect to the time frequency resources.

6. The user equipment according to claim 5 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:

determine, according to the COT use indication information, whether the other user equipment uses the time frequency resources.

7. The user equipment according to claim 5 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:

determine, according to the COT use indication information, time frequency resources remaining within the COT.

8. The user equipment according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:

perform, after the user equipment performs transmission between the user equipment and the other user equipment, channel detection to use the time frequency resources remaining within the COT.

9. A network side equipment, comprising processing circuitry configured to:

generate Channel Occupy Time (COT) sharing indication information comprising time frequency resources used by a first user equipment served by the network side equipment when the first user equipment shares COT with a second user equipment served by the network side equipment; and

transmit the COT sharing indication information to the first user equipment,

wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:

receive resource request information from the first user equipment; and

generate resource scheduling information of the first user equipment according to the resource request information from the first user equipment wherein the resource scheduling information from the first user equipment comprises the COT sharing indication information of the first user equipment, and

wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:

receive resource request information from the second user equipment;

generate resource scheduling information of the second user equipment according to the resource request information from the second user equipment, wherein the resource scheduling information from the second user equipment comprises COT sharing indication information of the second user equipment, and the COT sharing indication information of the second user equipment comprises time frequency resources used by, the second user equipment when the first user equipment shares COT with the second user equipment; and

transmit the COT sharing indication information of the second user equipment to the second user equipment.

10. The network side equipment according to claim 9 , wherein the COT sharing indication information comprises a start time and an end time of the time resources used by the first user equipment when the first user equipment shares COT with the second user equipment.

11. A user equipment, comprising processing circuitry configured to:

receive Channel Occupy Time (COT) sharing indication information from an other user equipment; and

determine, according to the COT sharing indication information, time frequency resources used by the user equipment when the user equipment shares COT with other user equipment.

12. The user equipment according to claim 11 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:

determine, according to the COT sharing indication information, a start time and an end time of time resources used by the user equipment when the user equipment shares COT with the other user equipment.

13. The user equipment according to claim 11 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:

receive the COT sharing indication information from a network side equipment serving the user equipment.

14. The user equipment according to claim 11 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:

transmit, to the other user equipment, COT use indication information about a use condition by the user equipment with respect to the time frequency resources.

15. The user equipment according to claim 14 , wherein the COT use indication information indicates whether the user equipment uses the time frequency resources.

16. The user equipment according to claim 14 , wherein the COT use indication information indicates time frequency resources remaining within the COT.
