Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, device and computer readable media for communications. A method comprises receiving, at a first terminal device from a second terminal device, information about a first set of candidate resources for the first terminal device to perform a sidelink transmission. The method further comprises determining a second set of candidate resources for performing the sidelink transmission. The method further comprises determining a first subset of the second set by identifying an overlap between the first set and the second set based at least on the information. The method further comprises selecting target resources for the sidelink transmission based at least on the first subset.

Claims (15)

1 . A method for a first terminal device, comprising:

receiving, from a second terminal device, a set of preferred resources for the first terminal device to perform a sidelink transmission;

selecting time and frequency resources for the sidelink transmission within an overlap between the set of preferred resources and a sensing result of the first terminal device; and

performing the sidelink transmission, to the second terminal device, using the selected time and frequency resources.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the set of preferred resources comprises resources that will not be used for transmission by the second terminal device.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the overlap comprises an overlap in time domain.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the set of preferred resources comprises resources that will be used for transmission by the second terminal device.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the set of preferred resources comprises resources that will be used for transmission by the second terminal device.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the overlap comprises an overlap in time domain.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the set of preferred resources comprises resources that are results of sensing sidelink channels by the second terminal device.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the overlap comprises an overlap both in time domain and in frequency domain.
