Abstract

Claims (70)

1 . A method for resource determination, comprising:

receiving, by a first terminal, indication information from a second terminal or a network device, the indication information indicating a reference resource set;

determining a candidate resource set based on the reference resource set; and

determining resources used for sending sidelink data based on the candidate resource set;

wherein determining the candidate resource set based on the reference resource set comprises:

determining a first resource set;

excluding resources that overlap with the reference resource set from the first resource set, to obtain a first remaining resource set;

in response to determining that a number of resources in the first remaining resource set is greater than or equal to a third threshold, taking the first remaining resource set as the candidate resource set,

wherein the third threshold is a product of an initial number of resources in an available resource set of a resource pool used by the first terminal and a fifth value,

the fifth value is determined by a fixed setting, a network configuration, or a pre-configuration;

wherein the method further comprises:

sending, by the first terminal, first high-layer information or first physical layer information to the second terminal or the network device, wherein the first high-layer information or the first physical layer information indicates at least one of: a size in frequency domain of resources included in the reference resource set, or configuration information of a resource pool used for determining the reference resource set.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the resource pool used for determining the reference resource set is identical to a resource pool used for determining the candidate resource set.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a physical layer of the first terminal receives the indication information;

the physical layer of the first terminal determines the candidate resource set based on the reference resource set; and

the method further comprises: reporting, by the physical layer, the candidate resource set to a Media Access Control (MAC) layer of the first terminal; and

determining, by the MAC layer, the resources used for sending the sidelink data based on the candidate resource set.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining, by a physical layer of the first terminal, the first resource set, and uploading, by the physical layer, the first resource set to an MAC layer of the first terminal;

determining, by the MAC layer, the candidate resource set based on the reference resource set and the first resource set; and

determining, by the MAC layer, the resources used for sending the sidelink data based on the candidate resource set.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

in response to determining that the number of resources in the first remaining resource set is less than the third threshold, raising a first RSRP threshold used for determining the first resource set to a second RSRP threshold;

determining a second resource set based on the second RSRP threshold;

excluding resources that overlap with the reference resource set from the second resource set, to obtain a second remaining resource set; and

in response to determining that a number of resources in the second remaining resource set is greater than or equal to the third threshold, taking the second remaining resource set as the candidate resource set.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the size in frequency domain of resources included in the reference resource set is different from a size in frequency domain of resources included in the first resource set,

wherein the reference resource set comprises resources that are not suitable for the first terminal to send the sidelink data,

wherein the size in frequency domain of resources included in the reference resource set is one or more sub-channels; and

the size in frequency domain of resources included in the reference resource set is different from a size in frequency domain of resources included in the candidate resource set.

7 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the resource pool used for determining the reference resource set, a resource pool used for determining the candidate resource set, and a resource pool used for determining the first resource set are identical,

wherein a number of sub-channels included in each resource in the first resource set, a number of sub-channels included in each resource in the reference resource set, and a number of sub-channels included in each resource in the candidate resource set are identical,

wherein the method further comprising:

determining an eighth resource set and a ninth resource set;

taking an intersection of the eighth resource set and the ninth resource set as the first resource set,

wherein the eighth resource set is determined based on a third target slot at which data is transmitted within a listening window and no listening is performed, and the ninth resource set is determined based on a detected Physical Sidelink Control Channel (PSCCH).

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein determining the eighth resource set comprises:

in response to determining that the data is sent at the third target slot in the listening window and no listening is performed at the third target slot, excluding resources corresponding to the third target slot from a target resource selection window to obtain the eighth resource set,

wherein excluding the resources corresponding to the third target slot from the target resource selection window comprises:

determining, in the target resource selection window, a fourth target slot corresponding to the third target slot based on a resource reservation period; and

excluding all resources in the fourth target slot.

9 . The method of claim 7 , wherein determining the ninth resource set comprises:

in response to determining that a PSCCH is detected in the listening window, measuring a RSRP of the PSCCH or a RSRP of a Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH) scheduled by the PSCCH;

in response to determining that the RSRP of the PSCCH or the RSRP of the PSSCH scheduled by the PSCCH is greater than a first RSRP threshold and a periodic resource reservation is activated for a reserved resource in the target resource selection window or in a resource pool used by the first terminal, excluding the reserved resource from the target resource selection window to obtain fifth remaining resources; and

in response to determining that an intersection of the fifth remaining resources and the eighth resource set is greater than or equal to a product of an available resource set of the resource pool used by the first terminal and a sixth value, taking the fifth remaining resources as the ninth resource set.

10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

in response to determining that the intersection of the fifth remaining resources and the eighth resource set is less than the product of the available resource set and the sixth value, raising the first RSRP threshold to a second RSRP threshold;

in response to determining that the RSRP of the PSCCH or the RSRP of the PSSCH scheduled by the PSCCH is greater than the second RSRP threshold and the periodic resource reservation is activated for the reserved resource in the target resource selection window or in the resource pool used by the first terminal, excluding the reserved resource from the target resource selection window to obtain sixth remaining resources; and
