determining the target sidelink feedback channel format based on the format adopted by the PSCCH and a correspondence between formats of the PSCCH and sidelink feedback channel formats.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said determining, based on the feedback channel format indicator, the target sidelink feedback channel format for transmitting the feedback information for the first sidelink data comprises:

obtaining second indication information in received Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling; and

determining a sidelink feedback channel format indicated by the second indication information as the target sidelink feedback channel format.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the RRC signaling is used to configure a Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH) resource pool or a Physical Sidelink Feedback Channel (PSFCH) resource pool.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said determining, based on the feedback channel format indicator, the target sidelink feedback channel format for transmitting the feedback information for the first sidelink data comprises:

determining a data attribute of the first sidelink data; and

determining the target sidelink feedback channel format based on the data attribute of the first sidelink data and a correspondence between data attributes and sidelink feedback channel formats.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the data attribute of the first sidelink data comprises a Quality of Service (QOS) attribute of the first sidelink data.

8. A method for determining a sidelink feedback channel, applied in a transmitting device, the method comprising:

determining a target sidelink feedback channel format for transmitting feedback information for first sidelink data; and

transmitting the first sidelink data to a receiving device, and indicating the target sidelink feedback channel format to the receiving device via a feedback channel format indicator,

wherein the receiving device is configured to

when second sidelink data needs to be transmitted simultaneously in a slot for transmitting the feedback information for the first sidelink data, determine a target sidelink feedback channel for transmitting the feedback information for the first sidelink data as a first sidelink feedback channel format; and

when no second sidelink data needs to be transmitted in the slot for transmitting the feedback information for the first sidelink data, determine, based on the feedback channel format indicator, the target sidelink feedback channel format for transmitting the feedback information for the first sidelink data.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein said determining the target sidelink feedback channel format for transmitting the feedback information for the first sidelink data comprises:

determining a logical channel from which the first sidelink data comes; and

determining the target sidelink feedback channel format based on the logical channel from which the first sidelink data comes and a correspondence between logical channels and sidelink feedback channel formats.

10. The method according to claim 8 , wherein said determining the target sidelink feedback channel format for transmitting the feedback information for the first sidelink data comprises:

determining a data attribute of the first sidelink data; and

determining the target sidelink feedback channel format based on the data attribute of the first sidelink data and a correspondence between data attributes and sidelink feedback channel formats.

11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the data attribute of the first sidelink data comprises a Quality of Service (QOS) attribute of the first sidelink data.
