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 (44)

1. A method for data transmission, comprising:

receiving, by a terminal device, first control information sent by a network device; and

determining, by the terminal device, transmission time of sidelink data according to first indication information carried in the first control information;

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 received, and determining, by the terminal device, the transmission time of the sidelink data according to the first indication information carried in the first control information comprises:

determining, by the terminal device, the transmission time of the sidelink data according to the downlink slot and the offset value;

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 determining, by the terminal device, the transmission time of the sidelink data according to the downlink slot and the offset value comprises:

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

wherein the n is the offset value.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining, by the terminal device, the transmission time of the sidelink data according to first subcarrier spacing and 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, and the second subcarrier spacing is subcarrier spacing of a carrier, a BWP or a resource pool in which the sidelink data is.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

acquiring, by the terminal device, first configuration information, and determining the first subcarrier spacing according to the first configuration information;

acquiring, by the terminal device, second configuration information, and determining the second subcarrier spacing according to the second configuration information.

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

7. 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 .

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining, by the terminal device, the transmission time of the sidelink data according to the downlink slots and the offset value comprises:

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

or,

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

9. A terminal 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 terminal device to: receive first control information sent by a network device; and

determine transmission time of sidelink data according to first indication information carried in the first control information;

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 received, and the processor is further configured to control the terminal device to:

determine the transmission time of the sidelink data according to the downlink slot and the offset value;

wherein the offset value is a quantity of sidelink slots.

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

11. The terminal device of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the terminal device to:

determine a first available sidelink slot after n sidelink slots immediately following the downlink slot as the transmission time of the sidelink data,

wherein the n is the offset value.

12. The terminal device claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the terminal device to:

determine the transmission time of the sidelink data according to first subcarrier spacing and 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, and the second subcarrier spacing is subcarrier spacing of a carrier, a BWP or a resource pool in which the sidelink data is.

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

acquire first configuration information;

determine the first subcarrier spacing according to the first configuration information;

acquire second configuration information; and

determine the second subcarrier spacing according to the second configuration information.

14. The terminal device of claim 13 , wherein the first configuration information is information configured by a network or pre-configured; or, the second configuration information is information configured by a network or pre-configured.

15. The method of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the terminal device to:

determine an n-th sidelink slot after the downlink slot as the transmission time of the sidelink data, wherein the n is the offset value;

or,

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