Abstract

A data transmission method and a terminal device are disclosed, which may solve the data transmission problems of a sidelink when the size of a time unit of a downlink and the size of a time unit of the sidelink are not the same. The method includes that a terminal device receives first control information sent by a network device, and determines a sending time for sidelink data according to the first control information.

Claims (37)

1. A method for data transmission, comprising:

sending, by a network device, first control information to a terminal device;

wherein first indication information is carried in the first control information for the terminal device to determine transmission time of sidelink data;

wherein the first indication information is used for indicating an offset value of a sidelink slot relative to a downlink slot in which the first control information is sent, and wherein the downlink slot and the offset value are used for the terminal device to determine the transmission time of the sidelink data;

wherein the offset value is a quantity of sidelink slots.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first control information is downlink control information (DCI) or radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the downlink slot and the offset value are used for the terminal device to determine the transmission time of the sidelink data comprises:

a first available sidelink slot after n sidelink slots immediately following the downlink slot is determined by the terminal device as the transmission time of the sidelink data,

wherein the n is the offset value.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the downlink slots and the offset value are used for the terminal device to determine the transmission time of the sidelink data comprises:

an n-th sidelink slot after the downlink slot is determined by the terminal device as the transmission time of the sidelink data, wherein the n is the offset value; or,

an m-th available sidelink slot after the n-th sidelink slot is determined by the terminal as transmission time of sidelink data if the n-th sidelink slot is unavailable, wherein m=1 or another value.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

sending, by the network device, first configuration information, wherein the first configuration information is used for determining a first subcarrier spacing;

sending, by the network device, second configuration information, wherein the second configuration information is used for determining a second subcarrier spacing.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein

the transmission time of the sidelink data is further determined by the terminal device according to the first subcarrier spacing and the second subcarrier spacing;

wherein the first subcarrier spacing is subcarrier spacing of a carrier or a bandwidth part (BWP) in which the first control information is sent by the network device, and the second subcarrier spacing is subcarrier spacing of a carrier, a BWP or a resource pool in which the sideink data is transmitted by the terminal device.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the first configuration information is information configured by the network device or pre-configured; or, the second configuration information is information configured by the network device or pre-configured.

8. A network device, comprising a processor and a memory, wherein the memory is configured to store a computer program, and the processor is configured to call and run the computer program stored in the memory to control the network device to: send first control information to a terminal device;

wherein first indication information is carried in the first control information for the terminal device to determine transmission time of sidelink data;

wherein the first indication information is used for indicating an offset value of a sidelink slot relative to a downlink slot in which the first control information is sent, and wherein the downlink slot and the offset value are used for the terminal device to determine the transmission time of the sidelink data,

wherein the offset value is a quantity of sidelink slots.

9. The network device of claim 8 , wherein the first control information is downlink control information (DCI) or radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

10. The network device of claim 8 , wherein the downlink slot and the offset value are used for the terminal device to determine the transmission time of the sidelink data comprises:

a first available sidelink slot after n sidelink slots immediately following the downlink slot is determined by the terminal device as the transmission time of the sidelink data,

wherein the n is the offset value.

11. The network device of claim 8 , wherein the downlink slots and the offset value are used for the terminal device to determine the transmission time of the sidelink data comprises:

an n-th sidelink slot after the downlink slot is determined by the terminal device as the transmission time of the sidelink data, wherein the n is the offset value; or,

an m-th available sidelink slot after the n-th sidelink slot is determined by the terminal as transmission time of sidelink data if the n-th sidelink slot is unavailable, wherein m=1 or another value.

12. The network device of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the network device to:

send first configuration information, wherein the first configuration information is used for determining a first subcarrier spacing;

send second configuration information, wherein the second configuration information is used for determining a second subcarrier spacing.

13. The network device of claim 12 , wherein the time of sidelink data transmission is further determined by the terminal device according to the first subcarrier spacing and the second subcarrier spacing;

wherein the first subcarrier spacing is subcarrier spacing of a carrier or a bandwidth part, BWP, in which the first control information is sent by the network device, and the second subcarrier spacing is subcarrier spacing of a carrier, a BWP or a resource pool in which the sideink data is transmitted by the terminal device.

14. The network device of claim 12 , wherein the first configuration information is information configured by the network device or pre-configured; or, the second configuration information is information configured by the network device or pre-configured.

15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a computer program, wherein the computer program enables a computer to perform the method according to claim 1 .
