INTER-UE COORDINATION APPARATUS AND METHOD
Embodiments of this disclosure provide an inter-UE coordination apparatus and method, the method including: transmitting sidelink control information and sidelink data information by a terminal equipment, the sidelink control information indicating a reserved resource; performing preemption detection on the reserved resource; and determining whether to receive coordination information used to indicate that a conflict occurs in the reserved resource, and/or determining whether to perform resource reselection based on the received coordination information, according to whether the reserved resource is preempted. Hence, unnecessary resource reselection may be avoided, probabilities of occurrence of conflicts may be reduced, and transmission reliabilities may be improved.
1 . An inter-UE coordination apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
a transmitter configured to transmit sidelink control information and sidelink data information, the sidelink control information indicating a reserved resource; and
a processor configured to determine to receive a physical sidelink feedback channel on used to indicate that a conflict occurs in the reserved resource; wherein
there exists a second time interval between the reserved resource and the sidelink control information indicating the reserved resource, there existing a receiving slot of the physical sidelink feedback channel in the second time interval, the second time interval including a third time interval and a fourth time interval, the third time interval being a time interval between the reserved resource and the receiving slot of the physical sidelink feedback channel, and the fourth time interval being an interval between the receiving slot of the physical sidelink feedback channel and the sidelink control information indicating the reserved resource, and
the third time interval is greater than or equal to a threshold.
2 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving slot of the physical sidelink feedback channel is a slot where a physical sidelink feedback channel is located and nearest to a slot where the reserved resource is located.
3 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein an index of a physical sidelink feedback channel resource is determined as a physical layer source identity related to the reserved resource after performing a modulus operation on a number of physical sidelink feedback channel resources.
4 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the reserved resource is indicated by a frequency resource assignment and time resource assignment field or a resource reservation period field of the sidelink control information.
5 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein sidelink transmission indicated by the sidelink control information is of unicast, groupcast or broadcast.
6 . An apparatus comprising:
a receiver configured to receive sidelink control information and sidelink data information, the sidelink control information indicating a reserved resource; and
a transmitter configured to transmit a physical sidelink feedback channel on used to indicate that a conflict occurs in the reserved resource, wherein
there exists a second time interval between the reserved resource and the sidelink control information indicating the reserved resource, there existing a receiving slot of the physical sidelink feedback channel in the second time interval, the second time interval including a third time interval and a fourth time interval, the third time interval being a time interval between the reserved resource and the receiving slot of the physical sidelink feedback channel, and the fourth time interval being an interval between the receiving slot of the physical sidelink feedback channel and the sidelink control information indicating the reserved resource, and
the third time interval is greater than or equal to a threshold.
