Abstract

This application provides a data transmission method and apparatus. The method includes: obtaining, by a terminal, information used to indicate a first condition; obtaining to-be-transmitted data; and when the first condition is met, sending, by the terminal over a sidelink, the to-be-transmitted data that is on a first logical channel by using a first carrier frequency and the to-be-transmitted data that is on a second logical channel by using a second carrier frequency. In this method, the same data is sent, over the sidelink, on different carrier frequencies by using two logical channels, and a receiving device can receive the same duplicate data, thereby improving data transmission reliability.

Claims (60)

1. A data transmission method performed by a terminal, the method comprising:

obtaining reliability information associated with a first identifier and priority information,

wherein the reliability information comprises a reliability value set,

wherein the reliability value set is a group of discrete values, and

wherein the priority information comprises a priority value set;

obtaining a reliability value and a priority value of first data of the terminal; and

sending a sidelink buffer status report (BSR) to a network device in response to both the reliability value being a value from the reliability value set and the priority value being a value from the priority value set,

wherein the first identifier is included in the sidelink BSR.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first identifier comprises one of the following (a)-(c):

(a) a first logical channel group identity;

(b) a first destination address identifier; or

(c) a first logical channel group identity and a first destination address identifier.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein one of the following situations exists:

the reliability information comprises a second reliability threshold, and the reliability value is greater than or equal to the second reliability threshold;

the reliability information comprises a third reliability threshold, and the reliability value is less than or equal to the third reliability threshold;

the reliability information comprises a second enumerated reliability value, and the reliability value is equal to the second enumerated reliability value; or

the reliability information comprises a second reliability range, and the reliability value falls within the second reliability range.

4. A data transmission method applied to a network device, the method comprising:

sending, to a terminal, reliability information and priority information associated with at least one logical channel group (LCG) ID,

wherein the reliability information comprises a reliability value set,

wherein the reliability value set is a group of discrete values,

wherein the priority information comprises a priority value set, and

wherein at least one reliability value of the group of discrete values and a priority value of the priority value set are identified as describing a first LCG ID of the at least one LCG ID; and

receiving a sidelink buffer status report (BSR), including the first LCG ID, from the terminal.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein one of the following situations exists:

the reliability information comprises a second reliability threshold, and the at least one reliability value of the group of discrete values is greater than or equal to the second reliability threshold;

the reliability information comprises a third reliability threshold, and the at least one reliability value of the group of discrete values is less than or equal to the third reliability threshold;

the reliability information comprises a second enumerated reliability value, and the at least one reliability value of the group of discrete values is equal to the second enumerated reliability value; or

the reliability information comprises a second reliability range, and the at least one reliability value of the group of discrete values falls within the second reliability range.

6. An apparatus comprising:

a processor and a non-transitory storage medium storing executable instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:

obtain reliability information associated with a first identifier and priority information,

wherein the reliability information comprises a reliability value set,

wherein the reliability value set is a group of discrete values, and

wherein the priority information comprises a priority value set;

obtain a reliability value and a priority value of first data of the terminal; and

send a sidelink buffer status report (BSR) to a network device in response to the reliability value being a value from the reliability value set and the priority value being a value from the priority value set,

wherein the first identifier is included in the sidelink BSR.

7. The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the first identifier comprises one of the following (a)-(c):

(a) a first logical channel group identity;

(b) a first destination address identifier; or

(c) a first logical channel group identity and a first destination address identifier.

8. The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein one of the following situations exists:

the reliability information comprises a second reliability threshold, and the reliability value is greater than or equal to the second reliability threshold;

the reliability information comprises a third reliability threshold, and the reliability value is less than or equal to the third reliability threshold;

the reliability information comprises a second enumerated reliability value, and the reliability value is equal to the second enumerated reliability value; or

the reliability information comprises a second reliability range, and the reliability value falls within the second reliability range.

9. An apparatus comprising:

a processor and a non-transitory storage medium storing executable instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:

send, to a terminal, reliability information and priority information associated with at least one logical channel group (LCG) ID,

wherein the reliability information comprises a reliability value set,

wherein the reliability value set is a group of discrete values,

wherein the priority information comprises a priority value set, and

wherein at least one reliability value of the group of discrete values and a priority value of the priority value set are identified as describing a first LCG ID of the at least one LCG ID; and

receive a sidelink buffer status report (BSR), including the first LCG ID, from the terminal.

10. The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein one of the following situations exists:

the reliability information comprises a second reliability threshold, and the at least one reliability value of the group of discrete values is greater than or equal to the second reliability threshold;

the reliability information comprises a third reliability threshold, and the at least one reliability value of the group of discrete values is less than or equal to the third reliability threshold;

the reliability information comprises a second enumerated reliability value, and the at least one reliability value of the group of discrete values is equal to the second enumerated reliability value; or

the reliability information comprises a second reliability range, and the at least one reliability value of the group of discrete values falls within the second reliability range.
