Abstract

Embodiments of the present application provide a wireless communication method and a terminal device. The method includes: determining, by the first terminal device, that an abnormality has occurred on the sidelink between the first terminal device and the second terminal device; and responding to the abnormality of the sidelink by the first terminal device.

Claims (45)

1. A wireless communication method, comprising:

determining, by a first terminal device, that a Radio Link Failure, RLF, has occurred on a sidelink between the first terminal device and a second terminal device; and

in response to the RLF of the sidelink, resetting, by the first terminal device, a relevant entity of a bearer communicating through the sidelink,

wherein the method further comprises:

in response to the RLF of the sidelink, transmitting, by the first terminal device, a first indication information to a network device, wherein the first indication information is used for indicating that the RLF has occurred on the sidelink related to the first terminal device,

wherein determining, by the first terminal device, that the RLF has occurred on the sidelink between the first terminal device and the second terminal device comprises:

in response to the first terminal device having transmitted a fifth message to the second terminal device and a second timer expiring, determining, by the first terminal device, the RLF has occurred on the sidelink between the first terminal device and the second terminal device, and

wherein the second timer is stopped when a sixth message is received, wherein the sixth message is an access layer configuration complete message.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the relevant entity of the bearer communicating through the sidelink comprises a media access control (MAC) layer entity.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first indication information comprises at least one of:

layer 2 ID, source address or destination address.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first indication information comprises type information of the RLF occurred on the sidelink related to the first terminal device.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

in response to the RLF of the sidelink, transmitting, by the first terminal device, a third indication information to a higher layer, wherein the third indication information is used for indicating that the RLF has occurred on the first terminal device.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the third indication information comprises destination address.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second timer is initiated when the fifth message is transmitted, wherein the fifth message is an access layer configuration message.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein determining, by the first terminal device, that the RLF has occurred on the sidelink between the first terminal device and the second terminal device comprises:

in response to a first counter reaching a first threshold, determining by the first terminal device that the RLF has occurred on the sidelink between the first terminal device and the second terminal device.

9. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising:

modifying the first counter by the first terminal device according to at least one sixth indication information, wherein the sixth indication information is defined according to a physical feedback channel.

10. A terminal device, wherein the terminal device is a first terminal device, and comprises a processor and a memory for storing a computer program,

wherein the processor is configured to call and run the computer program stored in the memory to perform operations of:

determining that a Radio Link Failure, RLF, has occurred on a sidelink between the first terminal device and a second terminal device; and

in response to the RLF of the sidelink, resetting a relevant entity of a bearer communicating through the sidelink,

wherein the processor is further configured to perform:

transmitting a first indication information to a network device, wherein the first indication information is used for indicating that the RLF has occurred on the sidelink related to the first terminal device,

wherein the processor is further configured to perform:

in response to the first terminal device having transmitted a fifth message to the second terminal device and a second timer expiring, determining, by the first terminal device, the RLF has occurred on the sidelink between the first terminal device and the second terminal device, and

wherein the second timer is stopped when a sixth message is received, wherein the sixth message is an access layer configuration complete message.

11. The terminal device according to claim 10 , wherein the relevant entity of the bearer communicating through the sidelink comprises a media access control (MAC) layer entity.

12. The terminal device according to claim 10 , wherein the first indication information comprises at least one of:

layer 2 ID, source address, destination address or type information of the RLF occurred on the sidelink related to the first terminal device.

13. The terminal device according to claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to perform operations of:

transmitting a third indication information to a higher layer, wherein the third indication information is used for indicating that the RLF has occurred on the first terminal device.

14. The terminal device according to claim 13 , wherein the third indication information comprises destination address.

15. The terminal device according to claim 10 , wherein

wherein the second timer is initiated when the fifth message is transmitted, and the fifth message is an access layer configuration message.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for storing a computer program, wherein the computer program causes a computer to execute the following operations:

determining, by a first terminal device, that a Radio Link Failure, RLF, has occurred on a sidelink between the first terminal device and a second terminal device; and

in response to the RLF of the sidelink, resetting, by the first terminal device, a relevant entity of a bearer communicating through the sidelink,

wherein the computer is further caused to execute:

transmitting a first indication information to a network device, wherein the first indication information is used for indicating that the RLF has occurred on the sidelink related to the first terminal device,

wherein determining, by the first terminal device, that the RLF has occurred on the sidelink between the first terminal device and the second terminal device comprises:

in response to the first terminal device having transmitted a fifth message to the second terminal device and a second timer expiring, determining, by the first terminal device, the RLF has occurred on the sidelink between the first terminal device and the second terminal device, and

wherein the second timer is stopped when a sixth message is received, wherein the sixth message is an access layer configuration complete message.
