Abstract

The present disclosure relates to methods for controlling a transmitted power of a sidelink communication and belongs to the communication field. The method includes the followings: when V2X communication is conducted between a first UE and a second UE, the first UE obtains a transmitted power of a reference signal from the second UE and measures a received power of receiving the reference signal by the second UE; the first UE determines a path loss based on a difference between the received power and the transmitted power of the reference signal, and determines a transmitted power of the first UE conducting V2X communication with the second UE based on the path loss.

determining, by the first UE, at least two candidate path losses of the first communications respectively according to differences between transmitted powers and received powers of reference signals of the at least two first communications;

determining, by the first UE, the path loss of the first communication from the at least two candidate path losses.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein determining, by the first UE, the path loss of the first communication from the at least two candidate path losses, comprises at least one of the following:

obtaining, by the first UE, the path loss of the first communication, by performing weighted averaging for the at least two candidate path losses; and

determining, by the first UE, the path loss of the first communication randomly from the at least two candidate path losses.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein when the first UE does not receive the reference signal from the second UE, the method further comprises at least one of the following:

obtaining, by the first UE, the path loss configured by an access network device;

obtaining, by the first UE, a pre-configured path loss as the path loss; and

obtaining, by the first UE, a pre-defined path loss as the path loss.

11. A method of controlling a transmitted power of a sidelink communication, being applied to a first user equipment (UE) in a vehicle to everything (V2X) and comprising:
