Abstract

The present application provides a resource selection method and a device, for use in sidelink communication. In a resource selection process, one or more resources used for sidelink transmission are selected according to DRX configuration information of one or more second devices, and sidelink data may be transmitted on the selected one or more resources.

Claims (56)

1 . A resource selection method, performed by a first device, the method comprising:

selecting, according to Discontinuous Reception (DRX) configuration information of one or more second devices, one or more resources for sidelink transmission,

wherein the one or more second devices comprise a plurality of second devices, and

selecting, according to the DRX configuration information of one or more second devices, the one or more resources for the sidelink transmission comprises:

selecting, according to the DRX configuration information of the plurality of second devices, the one or more resources for the sidelink transmission,

wherein the method further comprises:

selecting a fourth device from the plurality of second devices; and

sending sidelink data to the fourth device on the one or more resources for the sidelink transmission,

wherein the fourth device satisfies the following conditions:

the fourth device being a device having at least one of a Medium Access Control Control Element (MAC CE) or a logical channel with a highest priority from the plurality of second devices; or

the fourth device being the device having at least one of the MAC CE or the logical channel with the highest priority from the plurality of second devices, and the fourth device being a device in a DRX activation state on the one or more resources for the sidelink transmission from the plurality of second devices.

2 . The method of claim 1 ,

wherein selecting, according to the DRX configuration information of the one or more second devices, the one or more resources for the sidelink transmission comprises:

selecting a third device from the plurality of second devices; and

selecting, according to DRX configuration information of the third device, the one or more resources for the sidelink transmission.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein selecting, according to the DRX configuration information of the third device, the one or more resources for the sidelink transmission comprises:

selecting, according to the DRX configuration information of the third device, the one or more resources for the sidelink transmission from an available resource set of a resource selection window.

4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein selecting, according to the DRX configuration information of the third device, the one or more resources for the sidelink transmission comprises:

selecting, according to the DRX configuration information of the third device, the one or more resources for the sidelink transmission from an available resource set obtained by resource exclusion.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein selecting, according to the DRX configuration information of the plurality of second devices, the one or more resources for the sidelink transmission comprises:

selecting, according to the DRX configuration information of the plurality of second devices, the one or more resources for the sidelink transmission from an available resource set of a resource selection window.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein selecting, according to the DRX configuration information of the plurality of second devices, the one or more resources for the sidelink transmission comprises:

selecting, according to the DRX configuration information of the plurality of second devices, the one or more resources for the sidelink transmission from an available resource set obtained by resource exclusion.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein selecting, according to the DRX configuration information of the plurality of second devices, the one or more resources for the sidelink transmission comprises:

selecting, according to a common DRX active time shared by the plurality of second devices, the one or more resources for the sidelink transmission, wherein the common DRX active time shared by the plurality of second devices is determined according to the DRX configuration information of the plurality of second devices.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein selecting, according to the DRX configuration information of the plurality of second devices, the one or more resources for the sidelink transmission comprises:

selecting, according to a DRX active time of at least one of the plurality of second devices, the one or more resources for the sidelink transmission, wherein the DRX active time of the at least one of the plurality of second device is determined according to the DRX configuration information of the plurality of second devices.

9 . An electronic device, comprising:

a processor and a memory,

wherein the memory is configured to store computer-executable instructions; and

the processor is configured to execute the computer-executable instructions stored in the memory to:

select, according to Discontinuous Reception (DRX) configuration information of one or more second devices, one or more resources for sidelink transmission,

wherein the one or more second devices comprise a plurality of second devices, and

wherein the processor is further configured to:

select, according to the DRX configuration information of the plurality of second devices, the one or more resources for the sidelink transmission,

select a fourth device from the plurality of second devices; and

send sidelink data to the fourth device on the one or more resources for the sidelink transmission,

wherein the fourth device satisfies the following conditions:

the fourth device being a device having at least one of a Medium Access Control Control Element (MAC CE) or a logical channel with a highest priority from the plurality of second devices; or

the fourth device being the device having at least one of the MAC CE or the logical channel with the highest priority from the plurality of second devices, and the fourth device being a device in a DRX activation state on the one or more resources for the sidelink transmission from the plurality of second devices.

10 . The electronic device of claim 9 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to:

select a third device from the plurality of second devices; and

select, according to DRX configuration information of the third device, the one or more resources for the sidelink transmission.

11 . The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

select, according to the DRX configuration information of the third device, the one or more resources for the sidelink transmission from an available resource set of a resource selection window.

12 . The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

select, according to the DRX configuration information of the third device, the one or more resources for the sidelink transmission from an available resource set obtained by resource exclusion.

13 . The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

select, according to the DRX configuration information of the plurality of second devices, the one or more resources for the sidelink transmission from an available resource set of a resource selection window.

14 . The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

select, according to the DRX configuration information of the plurality of second devices, the one or more resources for the sidelink transmission from an available resource set obtained by resource exclusion.

15 . The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to

select, according to a common DRX active time shared by the plurality of second devices, the one or more resources for the sidelink transmission, wherein the common DRX active time shared by the plurality of second devices is determined according to the DRX configuration information of the plurality of second devices.

16 . The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

select, according to a DRX active time of at least one of the plurality of second devices, the one or more resources for the sidelink transmission, wherein the DRX active time of the at least one of the plurality of second device is determined according to the DRX configuration information of the plurality of second devices.
