Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an information determination method, apparatus, device, and computer-readable storage medium. The method includes: obtaining a sidelink channel measurement result, and determining a timer length of a target DRX timer according to the sidelink channel measurement result; or receiving indication information from a second terminal and determining the timer length of the target DRX timer according the indication information from the second terminal; the indication information being used to indicate the timer length of the target DRX timer; wherein the first terminal communicates with the second terminal through a sidelink.

Claims (29)

1 . An information determination method, applied to a first terminal, comprising:

receiving indication information from a second terminal and determining a timer length of a target discontinuous reception (DRX) timer according the indication information from the second terminal; the indication information being used to indicate the timer length of the target DRX timer; wherein the first terminal communicates with the second terminal through a sidelink, wherein the receiving the indication information from the second terminal comprises: receiving a sidelink radio resource control (RRC) signaling from the second terminal, the sidelink RRC signaling being used to indicate the timer length of the target DRX timer,

wherein the target DRX timer includes one or more of the following: Onduration timer, Inactivity Timer, or Retransmission Timer,

wherein the timer length of the target DRX timer is determined according to a sidelink channel measurement result and according to a corresponding relationship between the sidelink channel measurement result and the timer length of the DRX timer from the network side device; or the timer length of the target DRX timer is determined according to a sidelink channel measurement result, according to a corresponding relationship among the sidelink channel measurement result, quality of service (QoS) and the timer length of the DRX timer from a network side device, and according to QoS required by a current service.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein before receiving the indication information from the second terminal, the method further comprises:

sending data or a reference signal to the second terminal, the data or the reference signal being used to obtain the sidelink channel measurement result.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the sidelink RRC signaling further includes at least one of the following: a source layer L2 identifier, a destination L2 identifier, a sidelink radio barrier (SLRB) identifier, or a logic channel ID (LCID).

4 . The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the corresponding relationship between the sidelink channel measurement result and the timer length of the DRX timer is received from the network side device through a dedicated RRC signaling or a broadcast RRC signaling.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the sidelink channel measurement result includes one or more of channel state information and a channel congestion degree;

the sending indication information to the first terminal comprises: obtaining a corresponding relationship among the sidelink channel measurement result, QoS and the timer length of the DRX timer from the network side device; determining the timer length of the target DRX timer according the corresponding relationship, according to QoS required by a current service and according to the sidelink channel measurement result; and sending the indication information to the first terminal, wherein the indication information is used to indicate the timer length of the target DRX timer.

8 . The method according to claim 7 , wherein the corresponding relationship between the sidelink channel measurement result and the timer length of the DRX timer is received from the network side device through a dedicated RRC signaling or a broadcast RRC signaling.

9 . The method according to claim 7 , wherein the sidelink RRC signaling further includes at least one of the following: a source layer L2 identifier, a destination L2 identifier, a sidelink radio barrier (SLRB) identifier, or a logic channel ID (LCID).

10 . The method according to claim 7 , wherein the sidelink channel measurement result includes one or both of channel state information and a channel congestion degree;

the channel state information includes one or more of the following:

CSI, RI, CQI, SINR, RSRP, RSRQ, RSSI, block error rate, bit error rate or SRS;

the channel congestion degree includes one or more of the following: a CBR threshold, or a CR.

11 . A communication apparatus, applied to a second terminal, comprising: a transceiver, a memory, a processor, and a program stored on the memory and executed by the processor; wherein the processor is configured to read the program in the memory to perform the information determination method according to claim 7 .

12 . An information determination method, applied to a network side device, comprising:

sending a corresponding relationship between a sidelink channel measurement result and a timer length of a target discontinuous reception (DRX) timer to at least one of a first terminal or a second terminal, so that at least one of the first terminal or the second terminal determines the timer length of the target DRX timer according to the corresponding relationship and the sidelink channel measurement result; or sending a corresponding relationship among the sidelink channel measurement result, QoS and the timer length of the target DRX timer to at least one of the first terminal or the second terminal, so that at least one of the first terminal or the second terminal determines the timer length of the target DRX timer according to the corresponding relationship, QoS required by a current service and the sidelink channel measurement result, wherein the target DRX timer includes one or more of the following: Onduration timer, Inactivity Timer, or Retransmission Timer.
