Abstract

A first terminal receives first sidelink (SL) carrier configuration information from a second terminal, the first SL carrier configuration information includes first bandwidth part (BWP) configuration information, and the first BWP configuration information includes one or more first resource pools; the first terminal performs unicast connection communication with the second terminal based on the first BWP configuration information.

Claims (28)

1. A communication method, applied to a first terminal, comprising:

receiving one or more pieces of sidelink (SL) carrier configuration information sent by a radio access network device, wherein the SL carrier configuration information comprises bandwidth part (BWP) configuration information, the BWP configuration information comprises one or more resource pools, and one resource pool comprises one or more subchannels;

receiving downlink control information (DCI) sent by the radio access network device, wherein the DCI comprises first indication information, the first indication information is used to indicate a time-frequency resource on a first SL carrier in one or more SL carriers, and the first SL carrier is an SL carrier scheduled by the radio access network device; and

sending data to the second terminal on the time-frequency resource based on the first indication information.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first indication information comprises second indication information and third indication information, the second indication information is used to indicate the first SL carrier, and the third indication information comprises a minimum index of a subchannel scheduled by the radio access network device.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a configured subchannel of the communication apparatus is independently numbered in a resource pool, the first indication information further comprises fourth indication information, and the fourth indication information is used to indicate the resource pool scheduled by the radio access network device.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprises:

uniformly numbering a subchannel of the one or more resource pools in the BWP configuration information from a low frequency to a high frequency.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the time-frequency resource comprises a time-frequency resource of the one or more resource pools in the BWP configuration information.

6. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions, that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving one or more pieces of sidelink (SL) carrier configuration information sent by a radio access network device, wherein the SL carrier configuration information comprises bandwidth part (BWP) configuration information, the BWP configuration information comprises one or more resource pools, and one resource pool comprises one or more subchannels;

receiving downlink control information (DCI) sent by the radio access network device, wherein the DCI comprises first indication information, the first indication information is used to indicate a time-frequency resource on a first SL carrier in one or more SL carriers, and the first SL carrier is an SL carrier scheduled by the radio access network device; and

sending data to the second terminal on the time-frequency resource based on the first indication information.

7. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 6 , wherein the first indication information comprises second indication information and third indication information, the second indication information is used to indicate the first SL carrier, and the third indication information comprises a minimum index of a subchannel scheduled by the radio access network device.

8. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 6 , wherein a configured subchannel of the communication apparatus is independently numbered in a resource pool, the first indication information further comprises fourth indication information, and the fourth indication information is used to indicate the resource pool scheduled by the radio access network device.

9. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 6 , wherein the operations further comprises:

uniformly numbering a subchannel of the one or more resource pools in the BWP configuration information from a low frequency to a high frequency.

10. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 6 , wherein the time-frequency resource comprises a time-frequency resource of the one or more resource pools in the BWP configuration information.

11. A communication apparatus, applied to a first terminal, comprising:

at least one processor, and a non-transitory memory storing instructions for execution by the at least one processor, wherein, when executed, the instructions cause the communication apparatus to perform operations comprising:

receiving one or more pieces of sidelink (SL) carrier configuration information sent by a radio access network device, wherein the SL carrier configuration information comprises bandwidth part (BWP) configuration information, the BWP configuration information comprises one or more resource pools, and one resource pool comprises one or more subchannels;

receiving downlink control information (DCI) sent by the radio access network device, wherein the DCI comprises first indication information, the first indication information is used to indicate a time-frequency resource on a first SL carrier in one or more SL carriers, and the first SL carrier is an SL carrier scheduled by the radio access network device; and

sending data to the second terminal on the time-frequency resource based on the first indication information.

12. The communication apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the operations further comprises:

uniformly numbering a subchannel of the one or more resource pools in the BWP configuration information from a low frequency to a high frequency.

13. The communication apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the time-frequency resource comprises a time-frequency resource of the one or more resource pools in the BWP configuration information.

14. The communication apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the first indication information comprises second indication information and third indication information, the second indication information is used to indicate the first SL carrier, and the third indication information comprises a minimum index of a subchannel scheduled by the radio access network device.

15. The communication apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein a configured subchannel of the communication apparatus is independently numbered in a resource pool, the first indication information further comprises fourth indication information, and the fourth indication information is used to indicate the resource pool scheduled by the radio access network device.
