Abstract

Example signal transmission methods, apparatuses, systems, and computer storage media are disclosed. One example method includes obtaining, by a first detection apparatus, a first moment, where the first moment is a start moment of a first time unit, and the first time unit is used for the first detection apparatus to send a first signal. The first signal is sent by the first detection apparatus based on a first periodicity, where the first signal is used to indicate sending resource information of a detection signal, and the first time unit is further used for a second detection apparatus to receive the first signal.

Claims (56)

1. A signal transmission method, wherein the method comprises:

obtaining, by a first detection apparatus, a first moment, wherein the first moment is a start moment of a first time unit, and the first time unit is used for the first detection apparatus to send a first signal; and

sending, by the first detection apparatus, the first signal based on a first periodicity, wherein:

the first signal is used to indicate sending resource information of a detection signal,

the first time unit is further used for a second detection apparatus to receive the first signal,

the first periodicity is a periodicity in which the second detection apparatus receives the first signal, and

the first periodicity is a common multiple of a second periodicity and a third periodicity, wherein the second periodicity is a periodicity in which the first detection apparatus sends the detection signal, and the third periodicity is a periodicity in which the second detection apparatus sends a second detection signal.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein:

the first periodicity is a positive integer multiple of a periodicity in which the first detection apparatus sends the detection signal.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises sending, by the first detection apparatus, the first signal in a second time unit, and the second time unit is comprised in the first time unit.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first time unit does not overlap a time unit in which the first detection apparatus sends the detection signal.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein if a sending resource of the first signal overlaps a sending resource of the detection signal, the method further comprises:

sending, by the first detection apparatus, the first signal, wherein the detection signal is not sent by the first detection apparatus; or

when a random number generated by the first detection apparatus is greater than a preset value, sending, by the first detection apparatus, the first signal, wherein the detection signal is not sent by the first detection apparatus.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein sending, by the first detection apparatus, the first signal based on the first periodicity comprises:

sending, by the first detection apparatus, the first signal based on the first periodicity and the first moment.

7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, by the first detection apparatus and during the first time unit, a third signal from the second detection apparatus.

8. An apparatus, comprising:

one or more processors; and

a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to perform operations comprising:

obtaining, by a first detection apparatus, a first moment, wherein the first moment is a start moment of a first time unit, and the first time unit is used for the first detection apparatus to send a first signal; and

sending, by the first detection apparatus, the first signal based on a first periodicity, wherein;

the first signal is used to indicate sending resource information of a detection signal,

the first time unit is further used for a second detection apparatus to receive the first signal,

the first periodicity is a periodicity in which the second detection apparatus receives the first signal, and

the first periodicity is a common multiple of a second periodicity and a third periodicity, wherein the second periodicity is a periodicity in which the first detection apparatus sends the detection signal, and the third periodicity is a periodicity in which the second detection apparatus sends a second detection signal.

9. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein:

the first periodicity is a positive integer multiple of a periodicity in which the first detection apparatus sends the detection signal.

10. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise sending, by the first detection apparatus, the first signal in a second time unit, and the second time unit is comprised in the first time unit.

11. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the first time unit does not overlap a time unit in which the first detection apparatus sends the detection signal.

12. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein if a sending resource of the first signal overlaps a sending resource of the detection signal, the operations further comprise:

sending, by the first detection apparatus, the first signal, wherein the detection signal is not sent by the first detection apparatus; or

when a random number generated by the first detection apparatus is greater than a preset value, sending, by the first detection apparatus, the first signal, wherein the detection signal is not sent by the first detection apparatus.

13. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein sending, by the first detection apparatus, the first signal based on the first periodicity comprises:

sending, by the first detection apparatus, the first signal based on the first periodicity and the first moment.

14. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving, by the first detection apparatus and during the first time unit, a third signal from the second detection apparatus.

15. A computer storage medium storing one or more instructions executable by a computer system to perform operations comprising:

obtaining, by a first detection apparatus, a first moment, wherein the first moment is a start moment of a first time unit, and the first time unit is used for the first detection apparatus to send a first signal; and

sending, by the first detection apparatus, the first signal based on a first periodicity, wherein;

the first signal is used to indicate sending resource information of a detection signal,

the first time unit is further used for a second detection apparatus to receive the first signal,

the first periodicity is a periodicity in which the second detection apparatus receives the first signal, and

the first periodicity is a common multiple of a second periodicity and a third periodicity, wherein the second periodicity is a periodicity in which the first detection apparatus sends the detection signal, and the third periodicity is a periodicity in which the second detection apparatus sends a second detection signal.

16. The computer storage medium according to claim 15 , wherein:

the first periodicity is a positive integer multiple of a periodicity in which the first detection apparatus sends the detection signal.

17. The computer storage medium according to claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise sending, by the first detection apparatus, the first signal in a second time unit, and the second time unit is comprised in the first time unit.

18. The computer storage medium according to claim 15 , wherein the first time unit does not overlap a time unit in which the first detection apparatus sends the detection signal.

19. The computer storage medium according to claim 15 , wherein if a sending resource of the first signal overlaps a sending resource of the detection signal, the operations further comprise:
