Abstract

Claims (39)

1. A method for sending second stage Sidelink Control Information (SCI), comprising:

determining a first Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) symbol of a Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH);

configuring symbols of the second stage SCI based on the first DMRS symbol in an ascending or descending order of subcarriers of the first DMRS symbol, wherein Resource Elements (REs) of the symbols of the second stage SCI are not used for transmitting DMRS symbols; and

sending the second stage SCI;

wherein the method further comprises:

determining position information of a time-frequency resource used for sending the second stage SCI, and configuring the second stage SCI based on the position information, the first DMRS symbol and the subcarriers, wherein the position information comprises a starting position of the time-frequency resource used for sending the second stage SCI;

wherein an RE of the starting position of the second stage SCI and an RE of a DMRS symbol of the PSSCH scheduled by the second stage SCI are adjacent and located in a same Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol; or the RE of the starting position of the second stage SCI and the RE of the DMRS symbol of the PSSCH scheduled by the second stage SCI are adjacent and located in a same subcarrier;

wherein said configuring the second stage SCI comprises:

determining the RE of the DMRS symbol which is adjacent to the starting position of the second stage SCI;

configuring a first second stage SCI symbol on the RE of the starting position of the second stage SCI;

on a subcarrier same as a subcarrier of the first second stage SCI symbol, determining another RE which is adjacent to the RE of the DMRS symbol and has a subcarrier same as a subcarrier of the RE of the DMRS symbol, and configuring a second second stage SCI symbol; and

configuring two second stage SCI symbols sequentially on two REs which are adjacent to the REs of the DMRS symbol according to an ascending or descending order of subcarriers of the DMRS symbol.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein before sending the second stage SCI, the method further comprises:

sending indication information of time-frequency resources of the second stage SCI.

3. A method for receiving second stage Sidelink Control Information (SCI), comprising:

receiving the second stage SCI;

determining symbols of the second stage SCI based on a first Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) symbol of a Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH) in an ascending or descending order of subcarriers of the first DMRS symbol, wherein Resource Elements (REs) of the symbols of the second stage SCI are not used for transmitting DMRS symbols; and

decoding the second stage SCI;

wherein the method further comprises:

determining position information of a time-frequency resource of the second stage SCI and decoding the second stage SCI based on the position information, the first DMRS symbol and the subcarriers, wherein the position information comprises a starting position of the time -frequency resource used for sending the second stage SCI;

wherein an RE of the starting position of the second stage SCI and an RE of a DMRS symbol of the PSSCH scheduled by the second stage SCI are adjacent and located in a same Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol; or the RE of the starting position of the second stage SCI and the RE of the DMRS symbol of the PSSCH scheduled by the second stage SCI are adjacent and located in a same subcarrier;

wherein said decoding the second stage SCI comprises:

determining the RE of the DMRS symbol which is adjacent to the starting position of the second stage SCI;

determining a first second stage SCI symbol on the RE of the starting position of the second stage SCI;

on a subcarrier same as a subcarrier of the first second stage SCI symbol, determining another RE which is adjacent to the RE of the DMRS symbol and has a subcarrier same as a subcarrier of the RE of the DMRS symbol and determining a second second stage SCI symbol;

determining two second stage SCI symbols sequentially on two REs which are adjacent to the REs of the DMRS symbol according to an ascending or descending order of subcarriers of the DMRS symbol; and

decoding the determined second stage SCI symbol.

4. A device for sending second stage Sidelink Control Information (SCI), comprising a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising computer instructions, which. when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

determine a first Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) symbol of a Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH);

configure symbols of the second stage SCI based on the first DMRS symbol in an ascending or descending order of subcarriers of the first DMRS symbol, wherein Resource Elements (REs) of the symbols of the second stage SCI are not used for transmitting DMRS symbols; and

send the second stage SCI;

wherein the processor is further caused to:

determine position information of a time-frequency resource used for sending the second stage SCI, and configure the second stage SCI based on the position information, the first DMRS symbol and the subcarriers, wherein the position information comprises a starting position of the time-frequency resource used for sending the second stage SCI;

wherein an RE of the starting position of the second stage SCI and an RE of a DMRS symbol of the PSSCH scheduled by the second stage SCI are adjacent and located in a same Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol; or the RE of the starting position of the second stage SCI and the RE of the DMRS symbol of the PSSCH scheduled by the second stage SCI are adjacent and located in a same subcarrier;

wherein said configuring the second stage SCI comprises:

determining the RE of the DMRS symbol which is adjacent to the starting position of the second stage SCI;

configuring a first second stage SCI symbol on the RE of the starting position of the second stage SCI;

on a subcarrier same as a subcarrier of the first second stage SCI symbol, determining another RE which is adjacent to the RE of the DMRS symbol and has a subcarrier same as a subcarrier of the RE of the DMRS symbol, and configuring a second second stage SCI symbol; and

configuring two second stage SCI symbols sequentially on two REs which are adjacent to the REs of the DMRS symbol according to an ascending or descending order of subcarriers of the DMRS symbol.
