Abstract

Disclosed are an information determining method, a device, and a computer storage medium. The method includes: a first terminal determines that the number of first reference signals is N, N being a positive integer; the first terminal transmits to a second terminal a control channel and the N first reference signals, where the control channel is for use by the second terminal in determining that the number of the first parameter signals is the number N so as to receive respectively the N first reference signals via N channels.

Claims (38)

1. A method for determining information, comprising:

determining, by a first terminal, that a number of first reference signals is N, wherein N is a positive integer;

determining, by the first terminal, a first scrambling sequence corresponding to a value of the N based on a first mapping relationship;

performing, by the first terminal, a scrambling operation on a control channel by using the first scrambling sequence, wherein the first scrambling sequence corresponding to the control channel is used for determining that the number of the first reference signals is N; and

sending, by the first terminal, the control channel and the N first reference signals to a second terminal, wherein the control channel is a Physical Sidelink Control Channel (PSCCH) and indicates the number of the first reference signals, and wherein the control channel is used for the second terminal to determine that the number of the first reference signals is N and to receive the N first reference signals via N channels respectively.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

determining, by the first terminal, first codec information corresponding to a value of the N based on a third mapping relationship; and

performing, by the first terminal, encoding operation on the control channel by using the first codec information; wherein the first codec information corresponding to the control channel is used for determining that the number of the first reference signals is N.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the first codec information comprises at least one of:

a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) sequence, a cyclic shift, an orthogonal cover code (OCC) sequence, or a root sequence.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein determining, by the first terminal, that the number of first reference signals is N, comprises:

determining, by the first terminal, that the number of the first reference signals is N according to preconfigured information or information configured by a network.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the control channel comprises first indication information, and the first indication information is used for determining that the number of the first reference signals is N.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining, by the first terminal, that the number of first reference signals is N, comprises:

determining, by the first terminal, that the number of the first reference signals is N according to preconfigured information or information configured by a network.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining, by the first terminal, that the number of first reference signals is N, comprises:

determining, by the first terminal, that the number of the first reference signals is N according to preconfigured information or information configured by a network.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmission resources of the control channel of the first terminal and the first reference signals are in time-division.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmission resources of the control channel of the first terminal and the first reference signals are in time-division.

10. A non-transitory computer storage medium, storing thereon computer-executable instructions, wherein when the computer-executable instructions are executed by a processor, the steps of the method of claim 1 are implemented.

11. An apparatus for determining information, comprising a processor, a memory, and a network interface controller, wherein the memory stores program instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform following acts:

determining that a number of first reference signals is N, wherein N is a positive integer;

determining a first scrambling sequence corresponding to a value of the N based on a first mapping relationship;

performing a scrambling operation on a control channel by using the first scrambling sequence, wherein the first scrambling sequence corresponding to the control channel is used for determining that the number of the first reference signals is N; and

sending, via the network interface controller, the control channel and N first reference signals to a second terminal, wherein the control channel is a Physical Sidelink Control Channel (PSCCH) and indicates the number of the first reference signals, and wherein the control channel is used for the second terminal to determine that the number of the first reference signals is N and to receive the N first reference signals via N channels respectively.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein when the program instructions are executed by the processor, the program instructions cause the processor to further perform following acts:

determining first codec information corresponding to a value of the N based on a third mapping relationship; and

performing encoding operation on the control channel by using the first codec information; wherein the first codec information corresponding to the control channel is used for determining that the number of the first reference signals is N.

13. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the first codec information comprises at least one of:

a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) sequence, a cyclic shift, an orthogonal cover code (OCC) sequence, or a root sequence.

14. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein determining that the number of first reference signals is N comprises:

determining that the number of the first reference signals is N according to preconfigured information or information configured by a network.

15. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the control channel comprises first indication information, and the first indication information is used for determining that the number of the first reference signals is N.

16. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein determining that the number of first reference signals is N comprises:

determining that the number of the first reference signals is N according to preconfigured information or information configured by a network.

17. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein determining that the number of first reference signals is N comprises:

determining that the number of the first reference signals is N according to preconfigured information or information configured by a network.

18. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein transmission resources of the control channel of the apparatus and the first reference signals are in time-division.
