Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method of power control for Sidelink communication. The method includes: a first UE measures a reference signal sent by a second UE to obtain a measurement result; and the first UE reports, when a change value of the measurement result of the reference signal is greater than a threshold value, a measurement report of the reference signal to the second UE according to the measurement result of the reference signal, where the measurement report is used for power control performed by the second UE.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing at least one instruction, at least one segment of a program, a code set or an instruction set, wherein

the at least one instruction, the at least one segment of a program, the code set or the instruction set is loaded and executed by a processor to implement the method of power control for Sidelink communication of claim 1 .

8. A method of power control for Sidelink communication, comprising:

sending, by a second User Equipment (UE) in Vehicle to Everything (V2X), a reference signal to a first UE;
