Abstract

Claims (38)

1. A method for determining a sidelink transmission mode, comprising:

sending, by a first terminal device, a first message to a network device, wherein the first message comprises group identifier information of a terminal device group where the first terminal device is located, or identification information of a second terminal device, wherein the second terminal device is a terminal device which performs unicast communication with the first terminal device;

receiving, by the first terminal device, first configuration information sent by the network device, wherein the first configuration information is used for indicating a first transmission mode;

receiving, by the first terminal device, assistance information sent by the second terminal device, wherein the assistance information is used to assist the first terminal device to select transmission resources, wherein the assistance information comprises time-frequency resource information;

determining, by the first terminal device, the first transmission mode in a plurality of transmission modes based on the first configuration information; and

adopting, by the first terminal device, the first transmission mode to perform a sidelink communication with another terminal device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first message is carried in uplink control information, a Media Access Control Control Element (MAC CE), or a Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling;

the first configuration information is carried in broadcast information, or RRC signaling.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first configuration information comprises at least one piece of following pieces of information:

the group identification information of the terminal device group where the first terminal is located, the identification information of the second terminal device which performs unicast communication with the first terminal device, type information of unicast communication, multicast communication or broadcast communication, or Quality of Service (QOS) attribute information.

4. A method for determining a sidelink transmission mode, comprising:

receiving, by a network device, a first message sent by a first terminal device, wherein the first message comprises group identifier information of a terminal device group where the first terminal device is located, or identification information of a second terminal device, wherein the second terminal device is a terminal device which performs unicast communication with the first terminal device;

sending, by the network device, first configuration information to the first terminal device, wherein the first configuration information is used for indicating the first terminal device to determine a first transmission mode in a plurality of transmission modes based on the first configuration information and adopt the first transmission mode to perform a sidelink communication with another terminal device;

wherein before adopting the first transmission mode to perform the sidelink communication with the second terminal device, the first terminal device receives assistance information sent by the second terminal device, wherein the assistance information is used to assist the first terminal device to select transmission resources, wherein the assistance information comprises time-frequency resource information.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the first message is carried in uplink control information, a Media Access Control Control Element (MAC CE), or a Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling;

the first configuration information is carried in broadcast information, or RRC signaling.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the first configuration information comprises at least one piece of following pieces of information:

the group identification information of the terminal device group where the first terminal is located, the identification information of the second terminal device which performs unicast communication with the first terminal device, type information of unicast communication, multicast communication or broadcast communication, or Quality of Service (QOS) attribute information.

7. A terminal device, comprising: a processor and a transceiver, wherein

the transceiver is configured to:

send a first message to a network device, wherein the first message comprises group identifier information of a terminal device group where the terminal device is located, or identification information of a second terminal device, wherein the second terminal device is a terminal device which performs unicast communication with the terminal device;

receive first configuration information sent by the network device, wherein the first configuration information is used for indicating a first transmission mode;

receive assistance information sent by the second terminal device, wherein the assistance information is used to assist the terminal device to select transmission resources, wherein the assistance information comprises time-frequency resource information; and

the processor is configured to determine the first transmission mode in a plurality of transmission modes based on the first configuration information;

wherein the transceiver is further configured to adopt the first transmission mode to perform a sidelink communication with another terminal device.

8. The terminal device of claim 7 , wherein the first message is carried in uplink control information, a Media Access Control Control Element (MAC CE), or a Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling;

the first configuration information is carried in broadcast information, or RRC signaling.

9. The terminal device of claim 7 , wherein the first configuration information comprises at least one piece of following information:

the group identification information of the terminal device group where the terminal device is located, the identification information of the second terminal device which performs unicast communication with the terminal device, type information of unicast communication, multicast communication or broadcast communication, or Quality of Service (QOS) attribute information.

10. A network device, comprising: a transceiver, wherein

wherein the transceiver is configured to:

receive a first message sent by a first terminal device, wherein the first message comprises group identifier information of a terminal device group where the first terminal device is located, or identification information of a second terminal device, wherein the second terminal device is a terminal device which performs unicast communication with the first terminal device;

send first configuration information to the first terminal device, wherein the first configuration information is used for indicating the first terminal device to determine a first transmission mode in a plurality of transmission modes based on the first configuration information and adopt the first transmission mode to perform a sidelink communication with another terminal device;

wherein before adopting the first transmission mode to perform the sidelink communication with the second terminal device, the first terminal device receives assistance information sent by the second terminal device, wherein the assistance information is used to assist the first terminal device to select transmission resources, wherein the assistance information comprises time-frequency resource information.

11. The network device of claim 10 , wherein the first message is carried in uplink control information, a Media Access Control Control Element (MAC CE), or a Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling;
