Abstract

Disclosed are an information transmission method for a sidelink, and a user equipment and a computer-readable storage medium. The method comprises: detecting a control channel indication sequence at a pre-set position of each time slot; and based on the detected control channel indication sequence, determining, in the time slot where the sequence is located, a time-frequency resource position where a corresponding physical sidelink control channel is located, wherein the control channel indication sequences correspond to the physical sidelink control channels on a one-to-one basis. By applying the solution, an actual time-frequency resource position of a PSCCH can be indicated to a UE in a sidelink of an NR system.
