Abstract

A first node receives a first signaling, the first signaling indicates a first resource pool and X1 resource sub-pools, and the X1 resource sub-pools belong to the first resource pool; determines a candidate resource set out of the first resource pool; transmits a target signal on a target time-frequency resource block, and the target time-frequency resource block belongs to the candidate resource set; a target resource subset belongs to a target resource sub-pool; a first priority is used to determine X1 first-type thresholds; the X1 resource sub-pools respectively correspond to the X1 first-type thresholds; a target threshold is a first-type threshold corresponding to the target resource sub-pool among the X1 first-type thresholds, and the target threshold is used to determine the target resource subset out of the target resource sub-pool. The present application strikes a balance between resource utilization and interference avoidance for users of a shared resource pool.
