[0030] Some concepts and / or terms involved in the resource reselection method, apparatus, communication device, storage medium and system provided by the embodiments of the present application are explained as follows.

[0031] 1. New radio in unlicensed spectrum (NR-U)

[0032] In a communication protocol, Radio Resource Control (RRC) configures a consistent Listen Before Talk (LBT) failure recovery procedure for a Media Access Control (MAC) entity. If LBT detection is performed before transmission and the channel is detected as busy, a low layer sends an LBT failure indication to the MAC entity.

[0033] The consistent LBT failure is per UL BWP based, and is generated by consistent LBT failure counting for all uplink (UL) transmissions from the low layer to the MAC entity. The parameter used by the UE for LBT failure counting is LBT_COUNTER (per serving cell based). RRC configures two parameters, i.e., lbt-FailureInstanceMaxCount and lbt-FailureDetectionTimer, for consistent LBT failure detection in lbt-FailureRecoveryConfig. LBT_COUNTER is incremented by one each time the MAC entity receives an LBT failure indication from the low layer. When LBT_COUNTER >= lbt-FailureInstanceMaxCount, consistent LBT failure is triggered for an active UL BWP of a serving cell, and then, the active UL BWP is switched to another UL BWP configured with a Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) occasion on the same carrier of the serving cell, and the LBT is performed in the UL BWP which has not triggered consistent LBT failure. If all UL BWPs of the serving cell have triggered consistent LBT failure, consistent LBT failure is indicated to the high layer.

[0034] In a communication protocol, an eNB / gNB can initiate channel occupancy sharing according to nodeB self-Downlink (DL) channel access or UE according to UL channel access. An eNB / gNB / UE can determine a maximum COT through a channel access priority class (CAPC) (as shown in Table 1). For channel access priorities p = 3 and p = 4, if it can be ensured that no other Radio Access Technology (RAT) shares this channel in the long term (as limited by the relevant protocol), Tm cot, p = 10 ms; otherwise, Tm cot, p = 8 ms.

[0035] Table 1 Channel access priority

[0036]

[0037] The resource reselection method provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings, some embodiments and application scenarios.

[0038] Generally, in the process of communication between a UE and a network side device, the network side device can preempt unlicensed spectrum resources for the UE, and the UE can perform data transmission with the network side device according to different channel access modes in a channel occupancy time through the unlicensed spectrum resources, thereby realizing communication between the UE and the network side device.

[0039] However, the unlicensed spectrum resources preempted by the network side device can only be used for communication between the network side device and the UE, and the UEs cannot communicate by using the unlicensed spectrum resources preempted by the network side device, resulting in a situation that the UE continuously fails to acquire transmission resources when attempting to acquire transmission resources on the unlicensed spectrum, thereby resulting in a low success rate of UE channel access.

[0040] To solve the above technical problems, in the embodiments of the present application, in the case that the UE fails to perform LBT on the first resource, the UE can determine a second resource according to target information to perform LBT on the second resource. The target information includes at least one of the following: resource configured by the network side device, timer information indicating a time length of stopping performing LBT, resource type information, and resource granularity reselection probability. Through the present scheme, in the case that the UE fails to perform LBT when attempting to acquire transmission resources on the unlicensed spectrum resources, the UE can reselect a suitable resource (i.e., the second resource) according to the target information to perform LBT operation on the resource, and for different target information, multiple ways of determining the reselected resource are given, thereby ensuring the communication demand of data transmission between UEs, and improving the success rate of UE channel access.

[0041] It should be noted that, on the unlicensed spectrum, the UE can perform resource selection based on different resource selection granularity, for example, carrier-based resource selection, or bandwidth part (BWP) based resource selection, or resource pool based resource selection. The UE can support SL transmission on one or more carriers on the unlicensed spectrum according to its terminal capability. Further, one carrier can contain one or more bandwidth parts, and one bandwidth part can contain one or more resource pools.

[0042] The embodiment of the present application provides a resource reselection method, Figure 2 A flow chart of a resource reselection method provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown. As shown in the figure, Figure 2 The resource reselection method provided by the embodiment of the present application can include the following steps 21 to 23.

[0043] Step 21, in the case that the UE fails to perform LBT on the first resource, the UE acquires target information.

[0044] The target information includes at least one of the following: resource configured by the network side device, timer information, resource type information, and resource granularity reselection probability, wherein the timer information is used to indicate the duration of stopping performing LBT.

[0045] Step 22, the UE determines a second resource according to the target information.

[0046] Step 23, the UE performs LBT on the second resource.

[0047] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the target information can be determined by any of the following: protocol agreement, network side device pre-configuration, network side device configuration, other user equipment indication, and UE autonomous decision.

[0048] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, in combination with Figure 2 As shown in the figure, Figure 3 The step 21 can be implemented by the following steps 21a and 21b.

[0049] Step 21a, the network side device sends the target information to the UE.

[0050] Step 21b, the UE receives the target information sent by the network side device.

[0051] The method of the UE determining a second resource according to target information (step 22) in the resource reselection method provided by the embodiment of the present application is described below through four implementation modes.

[0052] In the first implementation, in the case where the target information includes the resource configured by the network-side device, the method for determining the second resource by the UE according to the target information can include the following step 201 (or steps 202 and 203, or steps 202 and 204).

[0053] Step 201: The UE determines the resource pre-configured by the network-side device as the second resource.

[0054] Step 202: The network-side device sends a second message to the UE.

[0055] Step 203: The UE receives the second message sent by the network-side device, and in the case where the second message includes configuration information, determines the third resource included in the configuration information as the second resource.

[0056] Step 204: The UE receives the second message sent by the network-side device, and in the case where the second message does not include the configuration information and the second message indicates that the UE is allowed to perform LBT resource reselection, determines the fourth resource as the second resource.

[0057] In the embodiments of the present application, the fourth resource is a resource that does not trigger persistent LBT failure.

[0058] It should be noted that the resource that does not trigger persistent LBT failure can be understood as a resource with a low frequency of triggering LBT failure, or a resource that has not triggered LBT failure.

[0059] In the embodiments of the present application, in one implementation, the UE can determine the resource pre-configured by the network-side device as the second resource; in another implementation, the UE can determine the resource currently configured by the network-side device (i.e., the third resource) as the second resource; and in yet another implementation, the UE can determine the resource that does not trigger persistent LBT failure as the second resource according to the message indicating that the UE is allowed to perform LBT resource reselection.

[0060] In the embodiments of the present application, the UE can determine the resource pre-configured by the network-side device or the resource autonomously selected as the second resource to perform LBT operation on the resource, which guarantees the communication requirement of data transmission between UEs, thereby improving the success rate of UE channel access.

[0061] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the steps 202 and 203 can be implemented through the following steps 202a to 202d.

[0062] Step 202a: The UE sends a first message to the network-side device.

[0063] Step 202b, the network side device receives the first message sent by the UE.

[0064] In the embodiments of the present application, the first message is used to request LBT resource reselection.

[0065] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the first message includes at least one of the following: the first resource, and the frequency of LBT failure of the UE on the first resource.

[0066] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the first message includes the first resource; or the first message includes the frequency of LBT failure of the UE on the first resource; or the first message includes both the first resource and the frequency of LBT failure of the UE on the first resource.

[0067] It should be noted that the frequency of LBT failure of the UE on the first resource can be understood as the proportion of the number of times of LBT failure of the UE on the first resource to the total number of times of LBT of the UE. For example, if the UE performs 10 times of LBT on the first resource, and there are 8 times of LBT failure, the frequency of LBT failure of the UE on the first resource is 0.8.

[0068] It can be understood that the higher the frequency of LBT failure of the UE on the first resource, the more unavailable the first resource is, and a suitable resource needs to be reselected.

[0069] Step 202c, the network side device sends a second message to the UE.

[0070] In the embodiments of the present application, the second message includes configuration information.

[0071] Step 202d, the UE receives the second message sent by the network side device, and determines the third resource included in the configuration information as the second resource.

[0072] In the embodiments of the present application, the network side device can perform resource reconfiguration on the UE, and the third resource is carried in the message indicating the reconfiguration, so that the UE performs LBT operation on the third resource, which guarantees the communication demand of data transmission between UEs, thereby improving the success rate of UE channel access.

[0073] In this embodiment, when the UE fails to perform LBT on different resource levels, the UE can perform autonomous selection or network side device coordinated resource reconfiguration based on different resource granularity. The first embodiment is specifically described below by taking the network side device coordinated resource reconfiguration of the UE on the BWP resource level as an example.

[0074] Case 1, the network side device configures an active sidelink bandwidth part (SL BWP) for the UE, in the case that the UE triggers consistent LBT failure on a resource pool (i.e., the first resource) of the active SL BWP, the UE autonomously reselects to a resource pool (i.e., the second resource) that does not trigger consistent LBT failure to perform LBT operation on the resource pool.

[0075] Case 2, the network side device configures an active SL BWP for the UE, in the case that the UE triggers consistent LBT failure on all resource pools of the active SL BWP (i.e., the first resource):

[0076] 1) if the network side device pre-configures a target SL BWP (i.e., the second resource) for SL BWP reselection for the UE, the UE reselects to the target SL BWP to perform LBT operation on the target SL BWP.

[0077] 2) if the network side device does not pre-configure any SL BWP for the UE, the UE reports relevant information of consistent LBT failure to the network side device to request LBT resource reselection, the information includes the BWP resource (i.e., the first resource) that triggers consistent LBT failure and / or the frequency / frequency of consistent LBT failure triggered by the UE on the BWP resource;

[0078] A) if the network side device reconfigures the SL BWP resource for the UE, and the message indicating the SL BWP reconfiguration carries the target SL BWP, the UE reselects to the target SL BWP to perform LBT operation on the target SL BWP;

[0079] B) if the network side device reconfigures the SL BWP resource for the UE, but the message indicating the SL BWP reconfiguration does not carry any resource, the UE autonomously reselects to a SL BWP that does not trigger consistent LBT failure to perform LBT operation on the SL BWP.

[0080] Case 3, the network side device configures a carrier for the UE, in the case that the UE triggers consistent LBT failure on all SL BWPs of the carrier (i.e., the first resource):

[0081] 1) if there are enough uplink shared channel (UL-SCH) resources for the UE to report LBT failure MAC control element (CE) and subheader, the UE generates LBTfailure MAC CE and reports to the network side device;

[0082] 2) If there is not enough UL-SCH resource for the UE to report the LBT failure MAC CE and its subheader, the UE triggers a scheduling request (SR) to report the LBT failure MAC CE.

[0083] In the second implementation, in the case where the target information includes timer information, the method in which the UE determines the second resource according to the target information can include the following step 301 or step 302.

[0084] Step 301, in the case where the first timer information is pre-configured in the UE, the UE determines the fifth resource as the second resource after a timer reaches a first time length indicated by the first timer information.

[0085] In the embodiments of the present application, the fifth resource is any one of the following: a resource pre-configured by the network side device, a resource autonomously selected by the UE.

[0086] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the first timer information can be timer information pre-configured by the network side device for the UE.

[0087] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, if the network side device pre-configures the first timer information for the UE, the UE can determine a resource pre-configured by the network side device as the second resource after a timer reaches a first time length indicated by the first timer information; or the UE can autonomously reselect a resource and determine the autonomously reselected resource as the second resource.

[0088] Step 302, in the case where the first timer information is not pre-configured in the UE, the UE receives second timer information sent by the network side device, and determines the sixth resource as the second resource after a timer reaches a second time length indicated by the second timer information.

[0089] In the embodiments of the present application, the sixth resource is any one of the following: a resource pre-configured by the network side device, a resource configured by the network side device through configuration information, and a resource autonomously selected by the UE.

[0090] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the first time length and the second time length can be the same or different.

[0091] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the method in which the network side device configures a resource for the UE through configuration information can include: the network side device sends a message including the configuration information to the UE, the UE receives the message sent by the network side device, and the resource included in the configuration information is determined as the sixth resource.

[0092] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the UE can receive the second timer information sent by the network side device, so that the UE determines the second resource as the resource pre-configured by the network side device after the timer reaches the second time length indicated by the second timer information; or, the UE determines the second resource as the resource currently configured by the network side device; or, the UE can autonomously reselect the resource and determine the autonomously reselected resource as the second resource.

[0093] In the embodiments of the present application, the UE can select a suitable resource based on the pre-configured timer information or the currently configured timer information, so as to perform the LBT operation on the resource, thereby guaranteeing the communication requirement of data transmission between UEs and improving the success rate of UE channel access.

[0094] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the step 302 can be implemented through the following steps 302a to 302d.

[0095] The step 302a comprises that the UE sends a third message to the network side device.

[0096] The step 302b comprises that the network side device receives the third message sent by the UE.

[0097] In the embodiments of the present application, the third message is used to indicate that the UE fails to perform the LBT on the first resource.

[0098] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the third message can include the reason why the UE fails to perform the LBT on the first resource, for example, channel busy, overheating scenario, low power and the like.

[0099] The step 302c comprises that the network side device sends a fourth message to the UE.

[0100] The step 302b comprises that the UE receives the fourth message sent by the network side device.

[0101] In the embodiments of the present application, the fourth message includes the second timer information.

[0102] In the embodiments of the present application, the UE can receive the second timer information configured by the network side device, so as to determine the reselected second resource after the time length indicated by the second timer information, thereby guaranteeing the communication requirement of data transmission between UEs and improving the success rate of UE channel access.

[0103] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the resource reselection method provided by the present application further includes the following steps 303 and 304.

[0104] The step 303 comprises that the UE stops performing the LBT in the case that the timer does not reach the target time length.

[0105] In step 304, the UE clears the LBT counter after the timer reaches the target duration.

[0106] In the embodiments of the present application, the target duration is the first duration or the second duration.

[0107] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the LBT counter is used to record the number of times of LBT performed by the UE.

[0108] In the embodiments of the present application, since there may be multiple other UEs pre-empting the resources within the target duration, the UE does not perform LBT within the target duration, and clears the LBT counter after the target duration to re-perform the LBT operation, thereby ensuring the communication requirement of data transmission between UEs and improving the success rate of UE channel access.

[0109] In this implementation, when the UE triggers persistent LBT failure in the out of coverage (OOC), low battery or overheating scenarios, the UE can not perform LBT within the duration indicated by a (pre)configured timer, and re-performs the LBT operation after the timer expires. The following takes the UE at the SL carrier resource level as an example to specifically describe the second implementation.

[0110] In the case where all SL BWPs of the UE under the SL carrier trigger persistent LBT failure:

[0111] 1) If the network side device pre-configures a timer (i.e., first timer information) for the UE, the UE stops LBT within the duration T0 indicated by the timer, and clears the LBT counter after the timer expires. Then, the UE reselects to the default SL BWP pre-configured by the network side device, or the UE autonomously reselects to any SL BWP to perform the LBT operation on the default SL BWP or any resource pool on the SL BWP.

[0112] 2) If the network side device does not pre-configure the timer for the UE, the UE reports the sidelink carrier persistence LBT failure to the network side device, and can also report the reason for the persistent LBT failure (such as Channel Busy / Overheating / Low Power, etc.), the UE can receive one timer (i.e., second counter information) configured by the network side device, stop LBT within the time T1 indicated by the timer, and after the timer expires, clear the LBT counter, and then the UE reselects to the default SL BWP pre-configured by the network side device, or reselects to the SL BWP configured by the network side device according to the configuration information, or autonomously reselects to any one SL BWP to perform LBT operation on any one resource pool on the SL BWP.

[0113] In a third implementation, the target information includes resource type information, the resource type information is used to indicate a first type resource and a second type resource, and the method in which the UE determines the second resource according to the target information can include the following step 401.

[0114] Step 401: The UE determines the second type resource as the second resource.

[0115] In the embodiments of the present application, the priority of the first type resource is higher than the priority of the second type resource.

[0116] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the first type resource is a dedicated resource, and the second type resource is a shared resource; or, the first type resource is an unlicensed spectrum resource, and the second type resource is a licensed spectrum resource.

[0117] It should be noted that, since the dedicated resource and the unlicensed spectrum resource are relatively difficult to obtain, the UE usually preferentially uses the dedicated resource or the unlicensed spectrum resource.

[0118] In the embodiments of the present application, the first resource can be the first type resource, that is, in the case that the UE performs LBT failure on the resource with high priority, the UE can reselect to the resource with low priority to perform LBT operation on the resource with low priority, thereby ensuring the communication requirement of data transmission between UEs, and improving the success rate of UE channel access.

[0119] Optionally, before the step 401, the resource reselection method provided by the embodiments of the present application further includes the following steps 402 to 405.

[0120] Step 402: The UE sends a fifth message to the network side device.

[0121] Step 403, the network side device receives the fifth message sent by the UE.

[0122] In the embodiments of the present application, the fifth message is used to indicate that the UE fails to perform LBT on the first type of resource or the second type of resource.

[0123] Step 404, the network side device sends resource type information to the UE.

[0124] Step 405, the UE receives the resource type information sent by the network side device.

[0125] In the embodiments of the present application, since the network side device configures the UE with the first type of resource and the second type of resource, when the UE fails to perform LBT on the first type of resource or the second type of resource, the UE can reselect to the second type of resource (i.e. the resource with low priority) to perform LBT operation on the second type of resource, which guarantees the communication requirement of data transmission between UEs, thereby improving the success rate of UE channel access.

[0126] In this implementation, for a region, if it is ensured in the long term that no other wireless access technology shares this channel (such as relevant protocol restrictions), the network side device can configure different types of resources for the UE, such as dedicated resources or shared resources, and the UE performs LBT operation on the dedicated resources or the shared resources. In addition, the resource type used for sidelink transmission by the UE within the coverage of the network side device can also be a licensed spectrum type or an unlicensed spectrum type. The following takes the UE at the resource pool level as an example to specifically describe the third implementation.

[0127] 1) The network side device configures the UE with a dedicated resource pool and a shared resource pool, and the UE preferentially uses the dedicated resource pool:

[0128] A) If the UE triggers persistent LBT failure on the dedicated resource pool configured by the network side device, the UE reports to the network side device that LBT failure is performed on the dedicated resource pool, and reselects from the dedicated resource pool to the shared resource pool.

[0129] B) If the UE triggers persistent LBT failure on the shared resource pool configured by the network side device, the UE reports to the network side device that LBT failure is performed on the shared resource pool.

[0130] 2) The network-side device configures the UE with an unlicensed spectrum resource pool and a licensed spectrum resource pool, and the UE preferentially uses the unlicensed spectrum resource pool:

[0131] A) If the UE triggers persistent LBT failure on the unlicensed spectrum resource pool configured by the network-side device, the UE reports to the network-side device that LBT failure is performed on the unlicensed spectrum resource pool and reselects from the unlicensed spectrum resource pool to the licensed spectrum resource pool.

[0132] B) If the UE triggers persistent LBT failure on the licensed spectrum resource pool configured by the network-side device, the UE reports to the network-side device that LBT failure is performed on the licensed spectrum resource pool.

[0133] In a fourth implementation, in a case where the target information includes the resource granularity reselection probability, the method for determining the second resource by the UE according to the target information can include the following step 501 or step 502.

[0134] Step 501: In a case where the resource granularity reselection probability meets a preset condition, the UE determines the seventh resource as the second resource.

[0135] In the embodiments of the present application, the seventh resource is a resource that does not trigger persistent LBT failure.

[0136] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the resource granularity reselection probability can be a resource granularity reselection probability corresponding to the first resource.

[0137] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the resource granularity reselection probability meeting the preset condition means that a random number related to the resource granularity reselection probability falls within the range of the resource reselection probability. For example, assuming that the resource granularity reselection probability is 30%, if the random number falls within 【0, 30】, the UE needs to reselect the resource.

[0138] It should be noted that the resource that does not trigger persistent LBT failure can be understood as a resource with a low frequency of triggering LBT failure, or a resource that has not triggered LBT failure.

[0139] Step 502: In a case where the resource granularity reselection probability does not meet the preset condition, the UE determines the first resource as the second resource.

[0140] For example, assuming that the resource granularity reselection probability is 30%, if the random number falls outside 【30, 100】, the UE does not perform resource reselection and still performs LBT operation on the current resource.

[0141] In the embodiments of the present application, the UE can determine whether to reselect resources according to the resource granularity reselection probability, to perform the LBT operation on the first resource or the reselected resource, so as to ensure the communication requirement of data transmission between UEs, thereby improving the success rate of UE channel access.

[0142] In this embodiment, the network side device can configure the SL carrier on which the UE can perform transmission and the multiple SL BWPs on the SL carrier according to the capability of the UE, and multiple SL resource pools can be configured on each SL BWP. The network side device can select whether to (pre)configure the BWP reselection probability and / or the resource pool reselection probability for the UE. According to different resource granularity, the UE can perform resource reselection or report persistent LBT failure according to the resource reselection probability. For example, if the network side device (pre)configures the BWP reselection probability / resource pool reselection probability, the UE can determine whether to perform BWP reselection / resource pool reselection according to the BWP reselection probability / resource pool reselection probability when triggering persistent LBT failure. If the network side device does not configure the BWP reselection probability / resource pool reselection probability, the UE can autonomously reselect the BWP until all SL BWPs on the SL carrier trigger persistent LBT failure, and then the UE reports the persistent LBT failure to the network side device. The fourth embodiment is specifically described below taking the UE at the resource pool resource level as an example.

[0143] Case one, the network side device configures one active SL BWP for the UE, and the UE triggers consistent LBT failure on a resource pool of the active SL BWP:

[0144] 1) If the network side device configures the resource pool reselection probability based on each resource pool (i.e., each resource pool corresponds to a resource pool reselection probability) or the resource pool reselection probability based on all resource pools (i.e., all resource pools correspond to a resource pool reselection probability) for the UE;

[0145] A) UE decides to reselect resource pool according to this probability, UE can reselect to other resource pool which does not trigger consistent LBT failure in the active SL BWP to perform LBT operation in this resource pool;

[0146] B) UE does not perform resource pool reselection according to this probability, still perform LBT operation in current resource pool.

[0147] 2) If network side device does not configure resource pool reselection probability for UE, UE autonomously reselects to other resource pool which does not trigger consistent LBT failure in the active SL BWP to perform LBT operation in this resource pool.

[0148] Case two, network side device configures one active SL BWP for UE, in the case that UE triggers consistent LBT failure in all resource pools of the active SL BWP:

[0149] 1) If network side device configures BWP reselection probability based on each bandwidth part (for per BWP) or BWP reselection probability based on all bandwidth parts (for all BWP) for UE;

[0150] A) UE decides to reselect SL BWP according to this probability, UE can reselect to other SL BWP which does not trigger consistent LBT failure in the SL carrier to perform LBT operation in this SL BWP;

[0151] B) UE does not perform SL BWP reselection according to this probability, still perform LBT operation in current SL BWP.

[0152] 2) If network side device does not configure BWP reselection probability for UE, UE autonomously reselects to other SL BWP which does not trigger consistent LBT failure in the SL carrier to perform LBT operation in this SL BWP.

[0153] The resource reselection method provided in the embodiments of the present application can provide multiple ways of determining reselected resources for different target information, so that in the case that the UE triggers LBT failure based on different resource granularity, a suitable way can be selected to reselect resources to perform LBT operation on the resources, thereby ensuring the communication requirement of data transmission between UEs, and improving the success rate of UE channel access.

[0154] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the resource reselection method provided in the embodiments of the present application further includes the following steps 601 to 604.

[0155] Step 601: The network side device sends a sixth message to the UE.

[0156] Step 602: The UE receives the sixth message sent by the network side device.

[0157] In the embodiments of the present application, the sixth message includes a sidelink unlicensed spectrum resource.

[0158] In the embodiments of the present application, the network side device can configure the unlicensed spectrum resource for LBT detection to the connected mode UE through the sixth message, so that the UE performs LBT detection on the unlicensed spectrum resource and reports the LBT detection result to the network side device.

[0159] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the sixth message can be a system information block (SIB) message.

[0160] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the sixth message can carry an LBT detection period, and the UE can perform LBT detection based on the LBT detection period.

[0161] Step 603: The UE performs LBT detection on the sidelink unlicensed spectrum resource and sends the LBT detection result to the network side device.

[0162] Step 604: The network side device receives the LBT detection result sent by the UE.

[0163] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the LBT detection result can assist the UE to perform autonomous resource selection on the sidelink unlicensed spectrum.

[0164] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the LBT detection result can be that the UE performs LBT successfully on a certain resource, or that the UE performs LBT failure on a certain resource.

[0165] It should be noted that the resource reselection method provided in the embodiments of the present application can also be executed independently, that is, the steps 601 to 604 provided in the embodiments of the present application can be executed without executing the steps 21 to 23.

[0166] In the embodiments of the present application, when the UE has no communication demand, the network side device can configure an unlicensed spectrum resource for the UE, so that the UE performs LBT detection on the unlicensed spectrum resource and sends the LBT detection result to the network side device; when the UE has a communication demand, the network side device indicates an idle resource to the UE, thereby assisting the UE to select a suitable resource.

[0167] It should be noted that the resource reselection method provided in the embodiments of the present application can also be executed independently, that is, the steps 601 to 604 provided in the embodiments of the present application can be executed without executing the steps 21 to 23.
