the communication method further comprises:

determining an intersection set of the second resource set and a fifth resource set, wherein the fifth resource set is a resource set determined by the first sidelink device through monitoring.

2 . The communication method according to claim 1 , wherein

the fourth resource set is used by the first sidelink device to exclude some or all resources in the fourth resource set in response to the first sidelink device determining the first resource set for sending information to another sidelink device.

3 . The communication method according to claim 1 , wherein

the coordination information is determined as comprising the information about the fourth resource set expected by the second sidelink device to be excluded by the first sidelink device; and

the communication method further comprises:

reporting, by the first sidelink device, a sixth resource set to a higher layer of the first sidelink device,

wherein the sixth resource set is a resource set obtained by the first sidelink device by excluding some or all resources in at least one of the fourth resource set or a reserved resource, and the reserved resource is a resource determined by the first sidelink device through autonomous monitoring.

4 . The communication method according to claim 1 , wherein

the coordination information comprises the information about the third resource set scheduled to the first sidelink device, and the first sidelink device selects some or all resources in the third resource set as resources in the first resource set, to send sidelink information.

5 . The communication method according to claim 1 , wherein the first indication information and the coordination information are carried in sidelink control information (SCI).

6 . A communication method, comprising:

receiving first indication information and trigger information, wherein the trigger information is used to trigger a coordination procedure, and the first indication information comprises a bitmap or field value that explicitly maps to a type of information included in the trigger information; and

indicating, based on the first indication information, that the trigger information comprises one or more of:

second indication information, wherein the second indication information indicates content of coordination information;

third indication information, wherein the third indication information is used to identify the trigger information; or

a trigger parameter, wherein the trigger parameter is used by a second sidelink device to determine the coordination information,

wherein the indicating comprises decoding the first indication information to identify whether the trigger information contains the second indication information, the third indication information, or the trigger parameter.

7 . The communication method according to claim 6 , wherein

the content of the coordination information comprises one or more of:

information about a second resource set recommended to a first sidelink device;

information about a third resource set scheduled to the first sidelink device;

information about a fourth resource set expected to be excluded by the first sidelink device;

a coordination parameter or a measurement result, wherein the coordination parameter or the measurement result is used by the first sidelink device to determine a first resource set; or

fourth indication information, wherein the fourth indication information indicates the first sidelink device to determine the first resource set,

wherein the first resource set is used by the first sidelink device to send sidelink information on the first resource set.

8 . The communication method according to claim 6 , wherein

the trigger parameter comprises at least one of a quantity of sub-channels, a size of a selection window, a size of a monitoring window, a periodicity, or priority information.

9 . A communication apparatus, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the communication apparatus to:

receive coordination information, wherein the coordination information is used by a first sidelink device to determine a first resource set, and the first resource set is used by the first sidelink device to send sidelink information;

receive first indication information; and

determine, based on the first indication information, that the coordination information comprises one or more of:

information about a second resource set recommended to the first sidelink device;

information about a third resource set scheduled to the first sidelink device;

information about a fourth resource set expected to be excluded by the first sidelink device;

a coordination parameter or a measurement result, wherein the coordination parameter or the measurement result is used by the first sidelink device to determine the first resource set; or

second indication information, wherein the second indication information indicates the first sidelink device to determine the first resource set,

wherein

the coordination information is determined as comprising the information about the second resource set recommended by a second sidelink device to the first sidelink device;

the first resource set is used by the first sidelink device to send sidelink information to a third sidelink device other than the second sidelink device on the first resource set; and

the communication apparatus is further caused to:

determine an intersection set of the second resource set and a fifth resource set, wherein the fifth resource set is a resource set determined by the first sidelink device through monitoring.

10 . The communication apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein

the fourth resource set is used by the first sidelink device to exclude some or all resources in the fourth resource set in response to the first sidelink device determining the first resource set for sending information to another sidelink device.

11 . The communication apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein

the coordination information is determined as comprising the information about the fourth resource set expected by the second sidelink device to be excluded by the first sidelink device; and
