3 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the overhead of the PSFCH is determined according to a configuration of the PSFCH;

the overhead of the PSFCH is pre-configured or predefined.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the SCI is a first stage SCI.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining the TBS further comprises:

when the TBS of a transport block transmitted in a resource pool is calculated, subtracting an overhead of a Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) or a Tracking Reference Signal (TRS) from a scheduled resource.

6 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein the overhead of the CSI-RS or TRS is:

determined by a configuration of the CSI-RS or TRS in the scheduled resource;

determined by the configuration of the CSI-RS or TRS indicated in the control information, wherein the control information is used to indicate that the TBS is re-calculated.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining the TBS comprises:

when an initial transmission of a transport block is configured with a Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) or Tracking Reference Signal (TRS), and when the TBS is calculated in a transmission process of the transport block, subtracting an overhead of the CSI-RS or TRS from a scheduled resource;

when an initial transmission of a transport block is not configured with a CSI-RS or TRS, and when the TBS is calculated in the transmission process of the transport block, ignoring the overhead of the CSI-RS or TRS; or
