Abstract

A feedback resource determining method and apparatus is applied to systems such as an internet of vehicles, V2X, and V2V. The method includes obtaining a first parameter, where the first parameter is related to a cast type and a hybrid automatic repeat request HARQ feedback manner, the cast type includes unicast and multicast, and the HARQ feedback manner corresponds to the cast type; and determining a physical sidelink feedback channel PSFCH based on the first parameter. According to the feedback resource determining method and apparatus provided, PSFCHs of different sizes are allocated for different cast types and HARQ feedback manners. This improves resource utilization.

Claims (60)

1 . A feedback resource determining method, applied to a first terminal device, comprising:

determining the PSFCH based on the first parameter.

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

sending the first parameter to a second terminal device.

3 . The method according to claim 2 , further comprising:

receiving the PSFCH sent by the second terminal device.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein:

the first parameter is further associated with a quantity of bits of a HARQ carried on the PSFCH.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein:

the HARQ feedback manner includes a first manner and a second manner;

the PSFCH includes a first PSFCH and a second PSFCH;

the first PSFCH is used to transmit HARQ information of unicast information and HARQ information fed back in the first manner; and

the second PSFCH is used to transmit HARQ information fed back in the second manner.

6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein M 1 is a quantity of frequency domain resources of the PSFCH corresponds to each physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH).

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the PSFCH comprises adjusting a size of a preallocated resource based on the first parameter.

8 . A feedback resource determining method, applied to a second terminal device, comprising:

receiving a first parameter from a first terminal device, wherein the first parameter is associated with a cast type and a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback manner, the cast type includes unicast and multicast, and the HARQ feedback manner corresponds to the cast type, and a value of the first parameter is 1/M 1 , where M 1 relates to a quantity of resources for a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH); and

determining the PSFCH based on the first parameter.

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

sending the PSFCH to the first terminal device.

determine the PSFCH based on the first parameter.

13 . The apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the instructions further cause the one or more processors to perform operations to:

send the first parameter to a second terminal device.

14 . The apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein the instructions further cause the one or more processors to perform operations to:

receive the PSFCH from the second terminal device.

15 . The apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein:

the first parameter is further associated with a quantity of bits of a HARQ carried on the PSFCH.

16 . The apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein:

the HARQ feedback manner includes a first manner and a second manner;

the PSFCH includes a first PSFCH and a second PSFCH;

the first PSFCH is used to transmit HARQ information of unicast information and HARQ information fed back in the first manner; and
