Abstract

A sidelink control information sending and receiving method, a terminal apparatus, and a system are provided in this application, and may be applied to fields such as vehicle-to-everything (for example, V2X, LTE-V, or V2V), intelligent driving, and an intelligent connected vehicle. In a scenario in which second-stage SCI is not required in a sidelink communication system, a transmit end apparatus in sidelink communication indicates, by using first-stage SCI, a cyclic redundancy check bit corresponding to the first-stage SCI, or a reference signal used to demodulate the first-stage SCI, that the transmit end apparatus is not to send the second-stage SCI to a receive end apparatus. In this way, the transmit end apparatus may flexibly choose, based on a specific scenario of the sidelink communication, to use 2-stage SCI or 1-stage SCI, to avoid resource waste caused by using the 2-stage SCI in any scenario of the sidelink communication, thereby improving resource utilization efficiency.

Claims (20)

1. A sidelink control information sending method, comprising:

sending, by a first terminal apparatus, first-stage sidelink control information (SCI) to a second terminal apparatus, wherein the first-stage SCI comprises first indication information, and the first indication information is used to indicate whether the first terminal apparatus is to send second-stage SCI to the second terminal apparatus; and

based on the first indication information indicating that the first terminal apparatus is not to send the second-stage SCI to the second terminal apparatus, sending, by the first terminal apparatus, a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) to the second terminal apparatus based on the first-stage SCI: or

based on the first indication information indicating that the first terminal apparatus is to send the second-stage SCI to the second terminal apparatus, sending, by the first terminal apparatus, the PSSCH to the second terminal apparatus based on the first-stage SCI and the second-stage SCI; and

wherein that the first indication information is used to indicate whether the first terminal apparatus is to send the second-stage SCI to the second terminal apparatus comprises:

wherein the first-stage SCI comprises an aggregation level (AL) field, wherein the AL field comprises at least two valid values, and the at least two valid values comprise a first valid value, wherein the first valid value is 0, and 0 is used to indicate that the first terminal apparatus is not to send the second-stage SCI to the second terminal apparatus; and

wherein a valid value other than the first valid value in the at least two valid values is used to indicate that the first terminal apparatus is to send the second-stage SCI to the second terminal apparatus, wherein any one of the valid value other than the first valid value is specifically used to indicate an aggregation level of the second-stage SCI.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein based on the first indication information indicating that the first terminal apparatus is not to send the second-stage SCI to the second terminal apparatus, the first terminal apparatus sends the PSSCH to the second terminal apparatus based on the first-stage SCI, wherein a mode of transmitting the PSSCH is broadcast.

3. A sidelink control information sending method, comprising:

sending, by a first terminal apparatus, first-stage sidelink control information (SCI) to a second terminal apparatus, wherein the first-stage SCI comprises first indication information, and the first indication information is used to indicate whether the first terminal apparatus is to send second-stage SCI to the second terminal apparatus; and

based on the first indication information indicating that the first terminal apparatus is not to send the second-stage SCI to the second terminal apparatus, sending, by the first terminal apparatus, a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) to the second terminal apparatus based on the first-stage SCI; or

based on the first indication information indicating that the first terminal apparatus is to send the second-stage SCI to the second terminal apparatus, sending, by the first terminal apparatus, the PSSCH to the second terminal apparatus based on the first-stage SCI and the second-stage SCI; and

wherein that the first indication information is used to indicate whether the first terminal apparatus is to send the second-stage SCI to the second terminal apparatus comprises:

wherein the first indication information comprises at least two valid values, wherein a first valid value in the at least two valid values is used to indicate that the first terminal apparatus is not to send the second-stage SCI to the second terminal apparatus; and

wherein a second valid value in the at least two valid values is used to indicate that the first terminal apparatus is to send the second-stage SCI to the second terminal apparatus, and the first-stage SCI further comprises an aggregation level (AL) field, wherein a valid value in the AL field is used to indicate an aggregation level of the second-stage SCI.

4. A sidelink control information sending method, comprising:

sending, by a first terminal apparatus, first-stage sidelink control information (SCI) to a second terminal apparatus, wherein a cyclic redundancy check bit corresponding to the first SCI is scrambled by using scrambling information, and the scrambling information comprises a first identifier or a second identifier, wherein the first identifier is used to indicate that the first terminal apparatus is not to send second-stage SCI to the second terminal apparatus, and the second identifier is used to indicate that the first terminal apparatus is to send the second-stage SCI to the second terminal apparatus; and

based on the scrambling information comprising the first identifier, sending, by the first terminal apparatus, a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) to the second terminal apparatus based on the first-stage SCI; or

based on the scrambling information comprising the second identifier, sending, by the first terminal apparatus, the PSSCH to the second terminal apparatus based on the first-stage SCI and the second-stage SCI.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the scrambling information comprises the first identifier, and the first terminal apparatus sends the PSSCH to the second terminal apparatus based on the first-stage SCI, wherein a mode of transmitting the PSSCH is broadcast.
