Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a communication method and apparatus, and a device. The method includes: a first terminal device determining a first time period; and the first terminal device transmitting a first resource set to a second terminal device within the first time period, where the first resource set is used for the second terminal device to perform resource selection. The communication interference is reduced.

Claims (15)

1. A communication method, comprising:

determining, by a first terminal device, a first time period according to a request message received by the first terminal device from a second terminal device, wherein sidelink communication is performed between the first terminal device and the second terminal device, wherein the request message is carried through a medium access control control element (MAC CE), and the first time period is a time period within a first time length after the reception of the request message by the first terminal device;

upon receiving the request message, starting or resetting, by the first terminal device, a timer, wherein a time length of the timer is the first time length; and

transmitting, by the first terminal device, a first resource set to the second terminal device within the first time period, wherein the first resource set is used for the second terminal device to perform resource selection, and the request message is used to request acquiring the first resource set.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the MAC CE contains a minimum time offset value and a maximum time offset value, the minimum time offset value is different from the maximum time offset value, and the minimum time offset value and the maximum time offset value are used for the first terminal device to determine the first time period.

3. A terminal device, comprising a transceiver, a processor and a memory; wherein the memory has computer-executable instructions stored therein, and the processor executes the computer-executable instructions stored in the memory, to enable the processor to implement the steps of:

determining a first time period according to a request message received by the first terminal device from a second terminal device, wherein sidelink communication is performed between the first terminal device and the second terminal device, the request message is carried through a medium access control control element (MAC CE), and the first time period is a time period within a first time length after the reception of the request message by the first terminal device;

upon receiving the request message, starting or resetting, by the first terminal device, a timer, wherein a time length of the timer is the first time length; and

transmitting a first resource set to the second terminal device within the first time period, wherein the first resource set is used for the second terminal device to perform resource selection, and the request message is used to request acquiring the first resource set.

4. The terminal device according to claim 3 , wherein the MAC CE contains a minimum time offset value and a maximum time offset value, the minimum time of value is different from the maximum time offset value, and the minimum time offset value and the maximum time offset value are used for the terminal device to determine the first time period.

5. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing thereon computer-executable instructions, when being executed by a processor of a first terminal device, implement the steps of:

determining a first time period according to a request message received by the first terminal device from a second terminal device, wherein sidelink communication is performed between the first terminal device and the second terminal device, the request message is carried through a medium access control control element (MAC CE), and the first time period is a time period within a first time length after the reception of the request message by the first terminal device;

upon receiving the request message, starting or resetting a timer, wherein a time length of the timer is the first time length; and

transmitting a first resource set to the second terminal device within the first time period, wherein the first resource set is used for the second terminal device to perform resource selection, and the request message is used to request acquiring the first resource set.

6. The storage medium according to claim 5 , wherein the MAC CE contains a minimum time offset value and a maximum time offset value, the minimum time offset value is different from the maximum time offset value, and the minimum time offset value and the maximum time offset value are used for the first terminal device to determine the first time period.
