Abstract

Disclosed are a signal sending method, a priority configuration method, and a device. The signal sending method includes: determining that S signals overlap in time domain; determining M signals in the S signals based on a maximum transmit power of a terminal device and priorities of the S signals, where the S signals include n sidelink signals and k uplink signals, n is a positive integer, k is an integer greater than or equal to 0, a total transmit power of the M signals is less than or equal to the maximum transmit power, and M is a positive integer; and sending the M signals. In embodiments of this application, a plurality of sidelink signals may be simultaneously sent, or a sidelink signal and an uplink signal may be simultaneously sent, thereby resolving a problem that currently a sidelink signal and an uplink signal cannot be simultaneously sent.

Claims (33)

1. A signal sending method, comprising:

determining M sidelink signals in S sidelink signals based on a maximum transmit power of a terminal device and priorities of the S sidelink signals, wherein:

a total transmit power of the M sidelink signals is less than or equal to the maximum transmit power,

M is a positive integer,

the S sidelink signals overlap in time domain, S is an integer greater than or equal to 2,

and the S sidelink signals are signals carried on a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH), and

S is a positive integer; and

sending the M sidelink signals, wherein a transmit power of each of the M sidelink signals is P/M, and P is the maximum transmit power, the M signals have the same priority.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining M sidelink signals in the S sidelink signals based on a maximum transmit power of a terminal device and priorities of the S sidelink signals comprises:

when a total transmit power of the S sidelink signals is greater than the maximum transmit power, determining the M sidelink signals in the S sidelink signals based on the maximum transmit power and the priorities of the S sidelink signals.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein priorities of the M sidelink signals are higher than priorities of S−M sidelink signals other than the M sidelink signals in the S sidelink signals.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein

the maximum transmit power is a maximum transmit power supported by a capability of the terminal device; or

the maximum transmit power is a maximum transmit power configured by a network device for the terminal device; or

the maximum transmit power is a maximum transmit power determined by the terminal device based on a maximum transmit power supported by a capability of the terminal device and a maximum transmit power configured by a network device for the terminal device.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein M=S, and the total transmit power of the S sidelink signals is less than or equal to the maximum transmit power.

6. An apparatus, comprising:

one or more processors; and

a memory, wherein the memory stores instructions for execution by the one or more processors, that prompt the apparatus to perform the steps of:

determining M sidelink signals in S sidelink signals based on a maximum transmit power of the terminal device and priorities of the S sidelink signals, wherein:

a total transmit power of the M sidelink signals is less than or equal to the maximum transmit power,

M is a positive integer,

the S sidelink signals overlap in time domain, and

S is an integer greater than or equal to 2, wherein the S sidelink signals are signals carried on a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH), S is a positive integer; and

sending the M sidelink signals, wherein a transmit power of each of the M sidelink signals is P/M, and P is the maximum transmit power, the M signals have the same priority.

7. The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein

when a total transmit power of the S sidelink signals is greater than the maximum transmit power, determining the M sidelink signals in the S sidelink signals based on the maximum transmit power and the priorities of the S sidelink signals.

8. The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein priorities of the M sidelink signals are higher than priorities of S−M sidelink signals other than the M sidelink signals in the S sidelink signals.

9. The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein

the maximum transmit power is a maximum transmit power supported by a capability of the terminal device; or

the maximum transmit power is a maximum transmit power configured by a network device for the terminal device; or

the maximum transmit power is a maximum transmit power determined by the terminal device based on a maximum transmit power supported by a capability of the terminal device and a maximum transmit power configured by a network device for the terminal device.

10. The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein M=S, and the total transmit power of the S sidelink signals is less than or equal to the maximum transmit power.
