Method for processing sidelink retransmission resources, terminal device, and network device
View Patent ↗Provided is a method for processing a sidelink retransmission resource, a terminal device and a network device. A first terminal device acquires a sidelink retransmission grant resource, and ignores the sidelink retransmission grant resource in response to the sidelink retransmission grant resource being within a duration when a second terminal device is in a discontinuous reception (DRX) inactive state.
1 . A method for processing a sidelink retransmission resource, comprising:
acquiring, by a first terminal device, a sidelink retransmission grant resource; and
ignoring, by the first terminal device, the sidelink retransmission grant resource in response to the sidelink retransmission grant resource being within a duration when a second terminal device is in a discontinuous reception (DRX) inactive state.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first terminal device is in a first transmission mode, and the acquiring, by the first terminal device, the sidelink retransmission grant resource comprises: receiving, by the first terminal device, the sidelink retransmission grant resource allocated by a network device.
3 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
sending, by the first terminal device, a positive acknowledgement (ACK) to the network device.
4 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
sending, by the first terminal device, a negative acknowledgement (NACK) to the network device.
5 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
sending, by the first terminal device, cause information corresponding to the NACK to the network device.
6 . The method of claim 3 , wherein a sidelink PUCCH configuration parameter (sl-PUCCH-Config) is configured in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) for the first terminal device.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first terminal device is in a second transmission mode, and the acquiring, by the first terminal device, the sidelink retransmission grant resource comprises: selecting, by the first terminal device, the sidelink retransmission grant resource from a resource pool.
8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein selecting, by the first terminal device, the sidelink retransmission grant resource from the resource pool comprises:
selecting, by the first terminal device, at least two sidelink retransmission grant resources from the resource pool, a first resource of the at least two sidelink retransmission grant resources being adjacent to a second resource of the at least two sidelink retransmission grant resources, wherein a time gap between the first resource and the second resource is greater than or equal to a first duration, and the time gap between the first resource and the second resource is less than or equal to a second duration; and
determining, by the first terminal device, the first resource or the second resource as the sidelink retransmission grant resource.
9 . The method of claim 7 , further comprising: after ignoring, by the first terminal device, the sidelink retransmission grant resource,
re-selecting, by the first terminal device, a sidelink retransmission grant resource according to the DRX configuration of the second terminal device, wherein the re-selected sidelink retransmission grant resource is within the duration when the second terminal device is in the DRX inactive state.
10 . A terminal device, comprising: a processor and a transceiver, wherein the processor is configured to:
acquire a sidelink retransmission grant resource; and
ignore the sidelink retransmission grant resource in response to the sidelink retransmission grant resource being within a duration when a receiving terminal is in a discontinuous reception (DRX) inactive state.
11 . The terminal device of claim 10 , wherein the terminal device is in a first transmission mode, and the processor is configured to control the transceiver to receive the sidelink retransmission grant resource allocated by a network device.
12 . The terminal device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
control the transceiver to send a positive acknowledgement (ACK) to the network device.
13 . The terminal device of claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
control the transceiver to send a negative acknowledgement (NACK) to the network device.
14 . The terminal device of claim 13 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
control the transceiver to send cause information corresponding to the NACK to the network device.
15 . The terminal device of claim 12 , wherein a sidelink PUCCH configuration parameter (sl-PUCCH-Config) is configured in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) for the terminal device.
16 . The terminal device of claim 10 , wherein the terminal device is in a second transmission mode, and the processor is configured to select the sidelink retransmission grant resource from a resource pool.
17 . The terminal device of claim 16 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
re-select a sidelink retransmission grant resource according to the DRX configuration of the receiving terminal after ignoring the sidelink retransmission grant resource, wherein the re-selected sidelink retransmission grant resource is within the duration when the receiving terminal is in the DRX inactive state.
18 . A network device, comprising: a processor and a transceiver, wherein the processor is configured to:
allocate a sidelink retransmission grant resource to a first terminal device;
receive at least one of a negative acknowledgement (NACK) or cause information corresponding to the NACK from the first terminal device; and
reallocate a sidelink retransmission grant resource to the first terminal device based on discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration information of a second terminal device and at least one of the NACK or the cause information.
19 . The network device of claim 18 , wherein the cause information is used for indicating at least one of the followings that:
the first terminal device receives a NACK from the second terminal device;
the first terminal device does not send at least one of: a Physical Sidelink Control Channel (PSCCH) or a Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH); or
the first terminal device has sent at least one of a PSCCH or a PSSCH but has not received a Physical Sidelink Feedback Channel (PSFCH).
20 . The network device of claim 18 , wherein the processor is configured to perform at least one of:
scheduling a retransmission resource for the first terminal device while a retransmission timer of the second terminal device is running;
scheduling a retransmission resource for the first terminal device while an on-duration timer of the second terminal device is running;
scheduling a retransmission resource for the first terminal device while an inactivity timer of the second terminal device is running; or
scheduling a retransmission resource for the first terminal device while the second terminal device waits for a Channel State Information (CSI) report after sending a CSI request.
