[0026] It can be understood that, based on Figure 1 The scenarios to which the embodiments of the present application are applicable are sidelink transmission between terminals 11, including but not limited to NR systems, 6G communication systems, and the like.

[0027] In the embodiments of the present application, the sidelink can also be referred to as: secondary link, sidelink, edge link, etc. The sidelink transmission is a direct data transmission between terminals such as user equipment (User Equipment, UE) on the physical layer.

[0028] Optionally, the time unit in the embodiments of the present application can include but is not limited to frame, subframe, slot, symbol, etc. In the following embodiments, the time unit is mainly described based on slot in NR, but is not limited to slot.

[0029] The information indication method, device, terminal and readable storage medium provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail in combination with the drawings and some embodiments and application scenarios.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 is a flowchart of an information indication method provided by the embodiments of the present application. The method is executed by a terminal such as an NR terminal. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the method includes the following steps:

[0031] Step 21: The terminal transmits or receives first control information.

[0032] In the embodiments, the first control information is carried on the first control channel.

[0033] It should be pointed out that the first control information is essentially sidelink control information (SCI), but it is different from the existing SCI. In order to avoid confusion with the existing SCI, the following related description is written as SA. The first control channel is essentially a physical sidelink control channel (Physical Sidelink Control Channel, PSCCH), but it is different from the existing PSCCH. In order to avoid confusion with the existing PSCCH, the following related description is written as PSCCH_SA.

[0034] Optionally, the first control information can adopt a first information format, and the first information format is a control information format under another communication system different from the communication system corresponding to the terminal, so that the terminal under the other communication system can successfully decode the first control information. For example, taking the terminal as an NR terminal, the first control information sent by the NR terminal can adopt the SCI format 1 in the LTE sidelink, so that the LTE terminal can successfully decode the first control information sent by the NR terminal, and obtain the resource reservation related information indicated by the first control information for resource selection, thereby not affecting the performance of the LTE terminal in the system, so that the LTE terminal and the NR terminal can share the same resource pool for resource transmission, and improve the utilization rate of system resources.

[0035] In the information indication method of this application embodiment, the terminal can send or receive first control information. Therefore, in the case of co-frequency coexistence, when the terminal, such as an NR terminal, sends the first control information, which, for example, uses SCI format 1 in LTE sidelink, it can ensure that the LTE terminal reads the periodic resource reservation information of the NR terminal for resource selection. This prevents the system performance of the LTE terminal from being significantly affected by the introduction of the NR terminal due to its inability to exclude the NR terminal's reserved resources. Therefore, the LTE terminal and the NR terminal can share the same resource pool for resource transmission, thereby improving the utilization rate of system resources.

[0036] In this embodiment of the application, the first control information may include at least one of the following:

[0037] i) First instruction information instruction field.

[0038] In this 1), the first indication information field is mainly used to distinguish terminals and / or indicate specific information about the terminal (such as an NR UE). For example, for an NR UE, since the reserved bits in the SCI format1 sent by an LTE UE are all set to 0, the first indication information field allows it to distinguish between NR UEs and LTE UEs through the information indicated by the first indication information, or directly distinguish between NR UEs and LTE UEs by the difference in control information format caused by the presence of the first indication information field. This can further enhance the first control information and help ensure the performance of NR UEs operating in the coexisting frequency band.

[0039] ii) Priority indication field; for example, used to indicate the priority of the currently transmitted data.

[0040] iii) Resource reservation indication field; for example, a periodic value used to indicate periodic reservation.

[0041] iv) Frequency domain resource indicator field; for example, used to indicate the frequency domain location of primary and retransmission resources.

[0042] v) Primary and retransmission interval indication field; for example, time domain offset used to indicate the time domain position of primary and retransmission resources.

[0043] ⅵ) Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) indicator field; for example, used to indicate the MCS level.

[0044] vii) Retransmission indication field; for example, used to indicate whether retransmission is allowed.

[0045] vii) Transmission format indication field; such as, for indicating whether the transmission format is with rate matching, Transport Block size (TBS) scaling, or with puncturing and no TBS-scaling, etc.

[0046] viii) Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) association information indication field; such as, for indicating that the reserved resources within multiple HARQ processes belong to the same Transport Block (TB), or SL process, MAC PDU, etc.

[0047] ix) Format indication field of the second control information; such as, for indicating the format of different second / third control information.

[0048] Wherein, the second / third control information can be understood as the enhanced information of the first control information. Taking the NR terminal as an example, in addition to sending the first control information, the NR terminal can also send the second / third control information. The first control information is mainly used for the LTE terminal to read the resource reservation information of the NR terminal for resource selection, in this case, other NR terminals can also decode the first control information of the NR terminal to obtain the resource reservation information. The second / third control information is mainly used for other NR terminals to read the resource reservation information of the NR terminal for resource selection and data reception, HARQ feedback, etc.

[0049] xi) Physical Sidelink Feedback Channel (PSFCH) overhead indication field; such as, for indicating the PSFCH overhead related information.

[0050] xii) Beta_offset indication field; such as, for indicating the related information of determining the second / third control information carried on the first shared channel (such as PSSCH_SA), such as mapping mode, number of modulation symbols, etc.

[0051] Optionally, the first indication information indication field can be used to indicate at least one of the following:

[0052] a) Device type.

[0053] In this section (a), either the sending terminal type or the receiving terminal type can be indicated. For example, the sending terminal can be an LTE UE or an NR UE. If 1 bit information is used to indicate the sending terminal type, '0' can represent an LTE UE and '1' can represent an NR UE; or, '0' can represent an NR UE and '1' can represent an LTE UE.

[0054] b) The protocol version used by the terminal.

[0055] c) Whether there is a next-level control information, and / or the format of the next-level control information.

[0056] d) Resource allocation mode. For example, when the NR resource allocation mode is defined as mode5 under coexisting frequency bands, it indicates whether the current allocation mode is mode5 or NR R16 resource allocation mode.

[0057] e) Resource selection mode.

[0058] f) Resource detection mode.

[0059] g) The resource reservation method is one of the following: periodic reservation, non-periodic reservation, periodic reservation and non-periodic reservation.

[0060] h) is set to one bit of '1'.

[0061] In some embodiments, taking an NR UE as an example, the content indicated by SA is the content of the indication fields in ii) to viii) above. This indication content is the same as the indication content of the control information sent by the LTE UE, and is backward compatible with the LTE UE.

[0062] In some embodiments, taking an NR UE as an example, the content indicated by SA is the content of the indication fields in i) to viii) above. This indication content is based on the indication content of the control information sent by the LTE UE, with the addition of the content indicated by the first indication information, so as to enable the NR UE to distinguish between the LTE UE and the NR UE, and to obtain other relevant information, while maintaining backward compatibility with the LTE UE.

[0063] In some embodiments, taking the NR UE as an example, the content indicated by SA is the content of the indication fields in i) to viii) above, plus the HARQ association information indication field. In this case, the NR UE can use the decoded control information SA to perform sensing.

[0064] In some embodiments, taking an NR UE as an example, the content indicated by SA is the content of the indication fields in i) to viii) above, as well as the second control information format, PSFCH overhead, and / or Beta_offset information. In this case, SA can replace the function of SCI format 1-A in the original NR UE. Therefore, SCI format 1-A does not need to be sent anymore, or part of SCI format 1-A can be combined with SCI format 2. Based on this, if the new second control information is sent on the second control channel (such as PSCCH_SA-1), the PSFCH overhead and Beta_offset information do not need to be sent.

[0065] In this embodiment of the application, the setting of the indication field in the first control information can satisfy at least one of the following:

[0066] 1) Based on the content indicated by the first information, set the first indication information indication field;

[0067] 2) Based on the HARQ association information in the resource selection process, set the HARQ association information indicator field;

[0068] 3) Set the PSFCH overhead indication field according to the PSFCH cycle indicated by the first information;

[0069] 4) Set the format indicator field of the second control information according to the format of the second control information;

[0070] 5) Set the priority indication field according to the highest priority among the corresponding transport blocks (TBs) indicated by the first information;

[0071] 6) Set the MCS indication field according to the content indicated by the first information;

[0072] 7) Set the initial retransmission interval indication field, frequency domain resource indication field and / or retransmission indication field so that the time and frequency domain resources of PSSCH determined by the resource selection process are consistent with the PSSCH resource allocation indicated by the Configured Grant (CG).

[0073] 8) Set the reserved period indication field according to the reserved period information indicated by the first information.

[0074] Optionally, the first information in 1) to 8) above can include at least one of the following: high layer indication, downlink control information (DCI), SCI, etc. In this way, taking the NR terminal as an example, by setting the first control information in the above manner, the LTE terminal can be identified, and the NR terminal can be enhanced by adding an indication field in the reserved bits.

[0075] Optionally, when the first control information is carried in the first control channel, the first control channel can satisfy at least one of the following:

[0076] I) The encoding mode is turbo encoding.

[0077] II) The scrambling sequence generator performs initialization at the start of each slot.

[0078] For example, the scrambling sequence generator can be initialized using C init = 510.

[0079] III) The modulation mode is quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK).

[0080] IV) The layer mapping multiplexes the layer mapping rule of a single antenna port on a specific channel.

[0081] For the layer mapping of the first control channel, the layer mapping rule of a single antenna port on a specific channel can be defined as a same layer mapping rule, or can be directly reused / multiplexed, and is not limited in this regard.

[0082] Taking the NR terminal as an example, the layer mapping of PSCCH_SA can multiplex the mapping rule of a single antenna port on the LTE uplink physical shared channel (PUSCH), that is, the layer mapping of PSCCH_SA is mapped according to the mapping rule of a single antenna port on the LTE PUSCH. For the LTE PUSCH, the modulation symbol of each codeword is mapped to 1 or 2 layers. The modulation symbol on the codeword q is mapped to layer x The layer mapping is x(i) = [x (0) (i)…x (v -1) (i)] T , where v is the number of layers, and x(i) is the number of modulation symbols of each layer. For the case of transmission on only one antenna port, the number of layers is 1, that is, v = 1, and the layer mapping rule is defined as: x (0) (i) = d (0) (i); where

[0083] V) Transform precoding The transform precoding rule of a specific channel is multiplexed.

[0084] For the transform precoding rule of the first control channel multiplexing the transform precoding rule of a specific channel, it can be defined as a same transform precoding rule, or directly reuse / multiplex the transform precoding rule, and no limitation is made.

[0085] Taking the NR terminal as an example, the Transform precoding of PSCCH_SA can multiplex the Transform precoding rule of LTE PUSCH, that is, the Transform precoding of PSCCH_SA is performed according to the Transform precoding rule of LTE PUSCH. For LTE PUSCH, for layers λ = 0, 1,..., υ - 1, the modulation symbol block is divided into subsets, each of which corresponds to an SC-FDMA symbol. The rule of Transform precoding is to finally generate a symbol block according to the following formula one: wherein the variable represents the bandwidth of PUSCH, and the corresponding unit is RB, is the RB block size, expressed in the number of subcarriers, and satisfies α2, α3, α5 are non-negative integers:

[0086]

[0087]

[0088]

[0089] Further, the Transform precoding of PSCCH_SA multiplexing the Transform precoding rule of LTE PUSCH can use the number of RBs configured to PSCCH_SA on the frequency band and the number of subcarriers instead of the number of RBs configured to PUSCH on the frequency band and the number of subcarriers

[0090] VI) Precoding The precoding rule of a specific channel is multiplexed, and the number of layers is 1.

[0091] The precoding rule of the first control channel can be defined as a same precoding rule or directly reuse / multiplex the precoding rule, and no limitation is made.

[0092] For example, the NR terminal, the precoding of the PSCCH_SA can multiplex the precoding rule of the LTE PUSCH, that is, the precoding of the PSCCH_SA is performed according to the precoding rule of the LTE PUSCH, and the number of layers is 1. In some embodiments, the input of the precoder is a vector [y (0) (i)... y (υ-1) (i)] T wherein The corresponding output vector is [z (0) (i)... z (P-1) (i)] T wherein For the case of transmission only on one antenna port, the precoding is defined as: z (0) (i) = y (0) (i); wherein

[0093] VII) mapped to the physical resource according to a preset rule.

[0094] For example, when the PSCCH_SA is mapped to the physical resource, the precoded symbol can be first multiplied by a power adjustment factor to meet the transmission power requirement, and then mapped to the time-frequency domain resource in the order of ascending frequency domain and then ascending time domain.

[0095] Optionally, when the terminal transmits the first control information, the terminal transmitting the first control information can also be described as the terminal transmitting the first control channel, which can satisfy at least one of the following:

[0096] a) The first control information indicates at least one of the following: priority of transmitted data, MCS level, resource reservation information, etc. For example, the NR terminal can indicate the priority of transmitted data, MCS level, and resource reservation information by transmitting the control information SA. Since the same format and channel as the LTE SA are used, the LTE terminal can read the relevant information indicated by the SA, thereby solving the problem of coexistence of the LTE terminal and the NR terminal due to incompatible control information.

[0097] b) The first control information is transmitted in a time unit of the PSSCH corresponding to the first control channel, and occupies two physical resource blocks (PRBs). For example, the time unit can be every slot, every subframe, etc.

[0098] c) If the terminal receives the DCI scheduling at time unit n, the first control information is transmitted at the first PSSCH time unit after no earlier than n+Q; wherein Q is related to the data packet processing time or the DCI processing time. It can be understood that n is only a placeholder for a specific time, which is used to make the corresponding description clearer, and does not have a specific meaning.

[0099] d) If the terminal receives the DCI scheduling at PSSCH time unit t T The first control information is initially transmitted, and the information (such as Time gap between initial transmission and retransmission) indicated in the configured sidelink grant indicates that the time interval between the initial transmission and the retransmission of the first control information is not 0, then the first control information is retransmitted at PSSCH time unit t T+gap ; wherein t T+gap is determined by the information (such as Time gap between initial transmission and retransmission) indicated in the configured sidelink grant. T The time interval between t T and t T+gap is indicated by the information (such as Frequency resource location of the initial transmission and retransmission) indicated in the configured grant CG. It can be understood that t T and t T+gap are only placeholders for specific times, which are used to make the corresponding description clearer, and do not have a specific meaning.

[0100] Optionally, when the terminal determines the RB pool of the first control channel, any of the following can be met:

[0101] 1) If the resource pool configures the terminal to transmit the first control channel and the corresponding PSSCH on adjacent RBs in a time unit, the resource of the first control channel is two consecutive PRBs, and the index of the two consecutive PRBs is related to the index of the starting subchannel and the size of the subchannel.

[0102] For example, the index of the frequency domain PRB of the first control channel resource m can be determined by the following formula: n PRB = n subCHRBstart +m*n subCHsize +j; wherein nPRB is the index of PRB, j = 0 or 1, n subCHRBstart and n subCHsize is the RB sequence number and size of the starting subchannel subchannel indicated by the upper layer parameter.

[0103] 2) If the terminal transmits the first control channel and the corresponding PSSCH on the RBs which are not adjacent in time units according to the resource pool configuration, the resource of the first control channel is two consecutive PRBs, and the indexes of the two consecutive PRBs are related to the index of the starting RB of the first control channel pool.

[0104] For example, the index of the frequency domain PRB of the first control channel resource m can be determined by the following formula: n PRB = n PSCCHstart + 2*m + j; where n PRB is the index of PRB, j = 0 or 1, n PSCCHstart is the index of the starting PRB of the PSCCH_SA pool indicated by the upper layer parameter.

[0105] Optionally, when the terminal receives the first control information, at least one of the following can be met:

[0106] 1) When the terminal detects the first control information on the first control channel, the corresponding first control information is decoded according to the resource configuration of the first control channel;

[0107] 2) The terminal does not detect more than one first control information on the first control channel at each first control channel candidate resource position; that is, the terminal is not required to detect more than one PSCCH_SA at each PSCCH_SA candidate resource position.

[0108] 3) The terminal does not assume that the reserved bit in the first control information has any one value before decoding the first control information on the first control channel; that is, the terminal should not assume that the reserved bit has any one value before decoding the SA.

[0109] In this way, taking the NR terminal as an example, with the above requirements for receiving the SA, the NR terminal can also obtain the resource reservation and other related information of the LTE terminal by decoding the SA, so as to avoid the LTE terminal reserved resources when selecting resources, thereby being compatible with the LTE terminal and realizing coexistence in the same frequency.

[0110] Optionally, the subcarrier spacing of the terminal when transmitting and receiving information adopts a specific frequency, such as 15KHz, which is the same as the subcarrier spacing of the LTE system. Thus, the LTE terminal can successfully decode the control information SA sent by the NR terminal.

[0111] Optionally, the subchannel of the resource pool in which the terminal is located can meet at least one of the following:

[0112] i. The subchannel size in the resource pool of the terminal is predefined by a protocol, preconfigured by a network, and / or configured by a network terminal, and is {n5, n6, n10, n15, n20, n25, n50, n75, n100}.

[0113] ii. The subchannel size in the resource pool of the terminal is predefined by a protocol, preconfigured by a network, and / or configured by a network terminal, and is {n4, n5, n6, n8, n9, n10, n12, n15, n16, n18, n20, n30, n48, n72, n96}.

[0114] In the above i and ii, the subchannel size can be selected as the number of PRBs. For example, n5 represents that the number of PRBs is 5; n18 represents that the number of PRBs is 18; and so on.

[0115] In some embodiments, when the PSCCH_SA is adjacent to the PSSCH frequency domain, the above i is adopted.

[0116] In some embodiments, when the PSCCH_SA is not adjacent to the PSSCH frequency domain, the above ii is adopted.

[0117] In this way, the subchannel size and the number of configurations of the NR sidelink can be configured by using the LTE sidelink configuration, so that the indication of the corresponding control information is consistent.

[0118] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the terminal can determine a first parameter, and the first parameter is a parameter determined based on at least one of the following: protocol predefinition, network preconfiguration, terminal preconfiguration, network configuration, and terminal configuration. The first parameter is used to indicate whether the control information of the terminal is separated from the data information in the frequency domain, so that the terminal can accurately select the resource of the control information. The first parameter is, for example, adjacencyPSCCH-PSSCH.

[0119] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to specific examples.

[0120] Example 1

[0121] As Figure 3As shown, the NR UE can send a first control information SA to be compatible with the resource selection rule of LTE sidelink, so that more reserved resources caused by the joining of NR terminals can be identified by LTE UEs. From the perspective of LTE UEs, there are only more UEs performing resource reservation, and the system is more congested. In addition, in order to be consistent with LTE sidelink, the position of the SA can also be in the corresponding position in the SA pool, that is, the frequency domain position is not adjacent to PSSCH. For NR UEs, the UE type indication can be carried in the SA, so that the NR UE can identify whether the current UE belongs to the NR UE, so that the NR UE can make further enhancements.

[0122] Example 2

[0123] In order to enable LTE UEs to obtain the resource reservation information of NR UEs by decoding the control information SA carried by NR UEs, the PSCCH_SA carrying the SA needs to be consistent with the PSCCH in LTE. Therefore, the encoding method, scrambling, modulation, layer mapping, precoding, etc. of PSCCH_SA need to reuse / multiplex the related rules of LTE sidelink PSCCH. Similarly, the control information SA sent by the NR UE also needs to be the same as the indication domain in the control information sent by the LTE UE in the indication domain, so as to ensure that the LTE UE can correctly decode the SA and obtain the indication information in the SA.

[0124] Since there are reserved bits in the SA indication domain, the NR UE can use the reserved bits to send enhanced information. For example, a first indication information is added to indicate whether the current sending UE or receiving UE is an NR UE, or further, to indicate the Release version / resource allocation method of the current NR UE.

[0125] Example 3

[0126] Since the reserved bits of the control information in LTE sidelink can have at least 6, and more when the number of subchannels in the resource pool configuration is small, the reserved bits can be considered to be used for further enhancement of NR UEs.

[0127] A format 1 of the SA sent by an NR UE can be as follows:

[0128] ⅰ) Priority indication domain; for example, used to indicate the priority of the currently sent data.

[0129] ⅱ) Resource reservation indication domain; for example, used to indicate the periodic reservation period value.

[0130] ⅲ) Frequency domain resource indication domain; for example, used to indicate the frequency domain position of the initial transmission and retransmission resources.

In addition, an indication field is added in the reserved bit to indicate the first indication information, that is, the first indication information indication field is added, so that the terminal type can be judged by the NR terminal, and further enhancement is made.
