or

in a case that the first discovery message is transmitted between the upper layer and the MAC layer through a data logical channel, the priority of the first discovery message is determined based on the following:

a first message in a UL has a first priority, a first message in the SL has a second priority, a second message in the UL and a second message and the first discovery message in the SL have a third priority, the first priority is higher than or equal to the second priority, and the second priority is higher than the third priority.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein

the second message in the SL comprises data in the SL

the first discovery message is transmitted between the upper layer and the MAC layer through a data logical channel means that the first discovery message is transmitted between the upper layer and the MAC layer through a data radio bearer DRB.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the first discovery message is transmitted on a first SRB, the RRC signaling in the SL is transmitted on a second SRB, a third SRB used for the PC5 signaling message in the SL is configured by using RRC signaling in the SL, and if establishment of the third SRB is completed, the PC5 signaling message in the SL is transmitted on the third SRB.

6. The method according to claim 3 , wherein a plurality of messages with the third priority are transmitted on a DRB;

at least two of the plurality of messages with the third priority have different priorities; and

when the plurality of messages with the third priority cannot be sent simultaneously, based on a priority order, messages with higher priorities are preferentially sent or some of the plurality of messages with the third priority are preferentially discarded.

7. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the priority of the second message in the UL is different from the priority of the second message in the SL; and

if a priority value of the second message in the UL is lower than a first threshold, the second message in the UL is preferential; if the priority value of the second message in the UL is not lower than the first threshold, and the priority value of the second message in the SL is lower than a second threshold, the second message in the SL is preferential; or if the priority value of the second message in the UL is not lower than the first threshold, and the priority value of the second message in the SL is not lower than the second threshold, the second message in the UL is preferential;

or

if the priority value of the second message in the SL is lower than a first threshold, the second message in the SL is preferential; if the priority value of the second message in the SL is not lower than the first threshold, and the priority value of the second message in the UL is lower than a second threshold, the second message in the UL is preferential; or if the priority value of the second message in the SL is not lower than the first threshold, and the priority value of the second message in the UL is not lower than the second threshold, the second message in the SL is preferential;

or

if the priority value of the second message in the SL is lower than a first threshold, and the priority value of the second message in the UL is not lower than a second threshold, the second message in the SL is preferential; or if the priority value of the second message in the SL is not lower than a first threshold, and the priority value of the second message in the UL is lower than a second threshold, the second message in the UL is preferential;

or

if the priority value of the second message in the SL is not lower than a first threshold, and the priority value of the second message in the UL is lower than a second threshold, the second message in the UL is preferential; or if the priority value of the second message in the SL is lower than a first threshold, and the priority value of the second message in the UL is not lower than a second threshold, the second message in the SL is preferential;

or

in a first case, the second message in the SL is preferential; in a second case, the second message in the UL is preferential; or in cases other than the first case and the second case, the priority of the second message in the SL and the priority of the second message in the UL are determined by the terminal, wherein the first case is: the priority value of the second message in the SL is lower than a first threshold, and the priority value of the second message in the UL is not lower than a second threshold; and the second case is: the priority value of the second message in the SL is not lower than the first threshold, and the priority value of the second message in the UL is lower than the second threshold.
