Abstract

The present application discloses a method and device for wireless communications, comprising receiving first Sidelink Control Information (SCI), a second SCI and a first Transport Block (TB) on sidelink; herein, the first SCI schedules a first Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH), and both the second SCI and the first TB are transmitted in the first PSSCH; candidates of a format of the second SCI comprise SCI format 2-A, SCI format 2-B, SCI format 2-C and a first format subset; the first format subset comprises at least a first SCI format; the present application determines a format of a second SCI by transmitting the first bit group, which can better support new functions and technologies on sidelink.

2 . The first node according to claim 1 , wherein

the first bit group belongs to the first SCI or the first bit group belongs to the second SCI.

3 . The first node according to claim 1 , wherein

the first bit group belongs to the first SCI;

wherein the meaning of the phrase that the first bit group is used to indicate the format of the second SCI is: the first bit group indicates the format of the second SCI from the first format subset; the first bit group belongs to at least one of a modulation-coding-related field or reserved field of the first SCI.

4 . The first node according to claim 2 , wherein

the first bit group belongs to the first SCI;

wherein the meaning of the phrase that the first bit group is used to indicate the format of the second SCI is: the first bit group indicates the format of the second SCI from the first format subset; the first bit group belongs to at least one of a modulation-coding-related field or reserved field of the first SCI.

5 . The first node according to claim 1 , wherein

the first bit group belongs to the second SCI;

wherein the first format subset comprises at least two SCI formats, and numbers of bits comprised in all SCI formats in the first format subset are the same.

6 . The first node according to claim 2 , wherein

the first bit group belongs to the second SCI;

wherein the first format subset comprises at least two SCI formats, and numbers of bits comprised in all SCI formats in the first format subset are the same.

7 . The first node according to claim 1 , wherein

the first bit group belongs to the second SCI;

wherein a size of the first SCI format comprised in the first format subset is the same as a size of one of the SCI format 2-A, the SCI format 2-B or the SCI format 2-C; the SCI format 2-A and the SCI format 2-B do not comprise a padding bit field.

8 . The first node according to claim 2 , wherein

the first bit group belongs to the second SCI;

wherein a size of the first SCI format comprised in the first format subset is the same as a size of one of the SCI format 2-A, the SCI format 2-B or the SCI format 2-C; the SCI format 2-A and the SCI format 2-B do not comprise a padding bit field.

9 . The first node according to claim 5 , wherein

the first bit group belongs to the second SCI;

wherein a size of the first SCI format comprised in the first format subset is the same as a size of one of the SCI format 2-A, the SCI format 2-B or the SCI format 2-C; the SCI format 2-A and the SCI format 2-B do not comprise a padding bit field.

10 . The first node according to claim 6 , wherein

the first bit group belongs to the second SCI;

wherein a size of the first SCI format comprised in the first format subset is the same as a size of one of the SCI format 2-A, the SCI format 2-B or the SCI format 2-C; the SCI format 2-A and the SCI format 2-B do not comprise a padding bit field.

11 . The first node according to claim 1 , comprising:

a first receiver, receiving a first RRC message; the first RRC message is used to indicate a size of the first SCI format comprised in the first format subset.

12 . The first node according to claim 1 , wherein

at least partial bits in the first bit group belong to the first SCI; at least partial bits in the first bit group belong to the second SCI; the first bit group comprises at least two bits.

13 . The first node according to claim 12 , wherein

a bit belonging to the first SCI in the first bit group is used to indicate: a bit belonging to the second SCI in the first bit group is used to indicate the format of the second SCI.

14 . The first node according to claim 12 , wherein

a bit belonging to the first SCI in the first bit group is used to indicate a position of a bit belonging to the second SCI in the first bit group in the second SCI; a bit belonging to the second SCI in the first bit group is used to indicate the format of the second SCI.

15 . The first node according to claim 1 , wherein

the first bit group depends on a reinterpretation of either the first SCI or the second SCI;

wherein the meaning of the phrase that the first bit group depends on a reinterpretation of either the first SCI or the second SCI comprises: the first bit group belongs to the first SCI, and the first bit group depends on a reinterpretation of at least one field of the first SCI; or the first bit group belongs to the second SCI, and the first bit group depends on a reinterpretation of at least one field of the second SCI.

16 . The first node according to claim 1 , wherein
