Abstract

Claims (58)

1 . A method for acquiring a system message, comprising:

receiving, by a remote terminal, a first message from a relay terminal, the first message carrying a system message of a serving cell of the relay terminal, wherein the first message is a discovery announcement message,

wherein the discovery announcement message carries a second container, and the second container is used for carrying the system message of the serving cell of the relay terminal,

wherein the discovery announcement message is carried on a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH),

wherein a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) associated with the PSSCH carries sidelink control information (SCI), the SCI comprising at least one of following identifiers:

a source identifier, the source identifier being used for indicating an identifier of a terminal that sends the discovery announcement message;

a target identifier, the target identifier having an association relationship with at least one application service; or

an updating identifier, the updating identifier being used for indicating whether content in the discovery announcement message is updated,

wherein the method further comprises:

determining, by the remote terminal, whether the content in the discovery announcement message is updated based on the updating identifier in the SCI in response to that the remote terminal determines based on the SCI that neither the source identifier nor the target identifier changes in a case that the remote terminal does not receive the discovery announcement message for first time;

skipping, by the remote terminal, decoding the PSSCH carrying the discovery announcement message in response to determining that the content in the discovery announcement message is not updated; or

decoding, by the remote terminal, the PSSCH carrying the discovery announcement message, and acquiring updated content in the discovery announcement message in response to determining that the content in the discovery announcement message is updated;

or,

wherein a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) associated with the PSSCH carries sidelink control information (SCI), the SCI comprising at least one of following identifiers:

a source identifier, the source identifier being used for indicating an identifier of a terminal that sends the discovery announcement message;

a target identifier, the target identifier having an association relationship with at least one application service; or

an updating identifier, the updating identifier being used for indicating whether content in the discovery announcement message is updated,

wherein the method further comprises:

decoding, by the remote terminal, the PSSCH carrying the discovery announcement message, and acquiring an updated discovery announcement message in response to that the remote terminal determines based on the SCI that at least one of the source identifier or the target identifier changes;

or,

wherein the method further comprises:

decoding, by the remote terminal, the discovery announcement message carried on the PSSCH in a case that the remote terminal receives the discovery announcement message for first time.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the discovery announcement message further carries discovery process related information of the relay terminal, and the discovery process related information of the relay terminal comprises at least one of followings: a user identifier of the relay terminal at an application layer, or an application service identifier of the relay terminal.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the discovery announcement message further carries a sending period of the discovery announcement message.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein

the updating identifier is used for indicating whether at least one of the system message or the discovery process related information in the discovery announcement message is updated; or

the updating identifier comprises a first sub-identifier and a second sub-identifier, wherein the first sub-identifier is used for indicating whether the system message in the discovery announcement message is updated, and the second sub-identifier is used for indicating whether the discovery process related information in the discovery announcement message is updated.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the system message comprises at least one of followings: system information block (SIB) 1, SIB12, SIB13, or SIB14.

6 . A remote terminal, comprising: a processor and a memory for storing a computer program,

wherein the processor is configured to invoke and execute the computer program stored in the memory to cause the remote terminal to receive a first message from a relay terminal, the first message carrying a system message of a serving cell of the relay terminal, wherein the first message is a discovery announcement message,

wherein the discovery announcement message carries a second container, and the second container is used for carrying the system message,

wherein the discovery announcement message is carried on a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH),

wherein a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) associated with the PSSCH carries sidelink control information (SCI), the SCI comprising at least one of following identifiers:

a source identifier, the source identifier being used for indicating an identifier of a terminal that sends the discovery announcement message;

a target identifier, the target identifier having an association relationship with at least one application service; or
