[0078] It should be understood that, although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used to describe various information in this article, these information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the same type of information from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of this article, the first information may also be referred to as the second information, and similarly, the second information may also be referred to as the first information. Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein can be interpreted as "at the time of" or "when" or "in response to determination". Furthermore, as used in this article, the singular forms "one", "one" and "the" are intended to also include plural forms, unless there is an opposite indication in the context. It should be further understood that the terms "comprising" and "including" indicate that there are the described features, steps, operations, elements, components, projects, kinds, and / or groups, but do not exclude the existence, occurrence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components, projects, kinds, and / or groups. The terms "or", "and / or", "including at least one of the following" etc. used in this application can be interpreted as inclusive, or mean any one or any combination. For example, “comprising at least one of the following: A, B, C” means “any of the following: A; B; C; A and B; A and C; B and C; A and B and C”, and for another example, “A, B or C” or “A, B and / or C” means “any of the following: A; B; C; A and B; A and C; B and C; A and B and C”. An exception to this definition will only occur when a combination of elements, functions, steps or operations are inherently mutually exclusive in some manner.

[0079] It should be understood that, although the various steps in the flowchart in the embodiment of the present application are displayed in sequence according to the indication of the arrows, these steps are not necessarily performed in sequence according to the order indicated by the arrows. Unless there is a clear explanation in this article, the execution of these steps does not have a strict order restriction, and it can be performed in other orders. Moreover, at least a portion of the steps in the figure may include a plurality of sub-steps or a plurality of stages, and these sub-steps or stages are not necessarily performed at the same time, but can be performed at different times, and their execution order is not necessarily performed in sequence, but can be performed in turn or alternately with other steps or at least a portion of the sub-steps or stages of other steps.

[0080] As used herein, the words "if" and "if" may be interpreted as "at the time of" or "when" or "in response to determining" or "in response to detecting", depending on the context. Similarly, the phrases "if it is determined" or "if (stated condition or event) is detected" may be interpreted as "when it is determined" or "in response to determining" or "when detecting (stated condition or event)" or "in response to detecting (stated condition or event)", depending on the context.

When implementing the step, those skilled in the art may execute S2 first and then S1, etc., but these should all be within the scope of protection of this application.

[0082] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0083] In the subsequent description, the suffixes such as "module", "component" or "unit" used to represent elements are only used to facilitate the description of the present application, and have no specific meanings. Therefore, "module", "component" or "unit" can be used in a mixed manner.

[0090] WiFi is a short-range wireless transmission technology. Mobile terminals can help users send and receive emails, browse web pages, and access streaming media through WiFi module 102. It provides users with wireless broadband Internet access. Figure 1 The WiFi module 102 is shown, but it is understandable that it is not an essential component of the mobile terminal and can be omitted as needed without changing the essence of the invention.

[0091] The audio output unit 103 can convert the audio data received by the RF unit 101 or the WiFi module 102 or stored in the memory 109 into an audio signal and output it as sound when the mobile terminal 100 is in a call signal reception mode, a talk mode, a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, a broadcast reception mode, etc. Moreover, the audio output unit 103 can also provide audio output related to a specific function performed by the mobile terminal 100 (for example, a call signal reception sound, a message reception sound, etc.).

The image frame processed by the graphics processor 1041 can be stored in the memory 109 (or other storage medium) or sent via the radio frequency unit 101 or the WiFi module 102. The microphone 1042 can receive sound (audio data) via the microphone 1042 in a telephone call mode, a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, and other operating modes, and can process such sound into audio data. The processed audio (voice) data can be converted into a format output that can be sent to a mobile communication base station via the radio frequency unit 101 in the case of a telephone call mode. The microphone 1042 can implement various types of noise elimination (or suppression) algorithms to eliminate (or suppress) noise or interference generated in the process of receiving and sending audio signals.

[0093] The mobile terminal 100 also includes at least one sensor 105, such as a light sensor, a motion sensor, and other sensors. Optionally, the light sensor includes an ambient light sensor and a proximity sensor. Optionally, the ambient light sensor can adjust the brightness of the display panel 1061 according to the brightness of the ambient light, and the proximity sensor can turn off the display panel 1061 and / or the backlight when the mobile terminal 100 is moved to the ear. As a type of motion sensor, the accelerometer sensor can detect the magnitude of acceleration in all directions (generally three axes), and can detect the magnitude and direction of gravity when stationary. It can be used for applications that identify the posture of the mobile phone (such as horizontal and vertical screen switching, related games, magnetometer posture calibration), vibration recognition related functions (such as pedometer, tapping), etc.; as for other sensors that can be configured on the mobile phone, such as fingerprint sensors, pressure sensors, iris sensors, molecular sensors, gyroscopes, barometers, hygrometers, thermometers, infrared sensors, etc., they will not be repeated here.

The touch panel 1071 may include two parts: a touch detection device and a touch controller. Optionally, the touch detection device detects the user's touch orientation, detects the signal brought by the touch operation, and transmits the signal to the touch controller; the touch controller receives the touch information from the touch detection device, converts it into the touch point coordinates, and then sends it to the processor 110, and can receive and execute the command sent by the processor 110. In addition, the touch panel 1071 can be implemented in various types such as resistive, capacitive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave. In addition to the touch panel 1071, the user input unit 107 may further include other input devices 1072.

When the touch panel 1071 detects a touch operation on or near it, it transmits the information to the processor 110 to determine the type of touch event. Then, the processor 110 provides corresponding visual output on the display panel 1061 according to the type of touch event. Figure 1 In the figure, the touch panel 1071 and the display panel 1061 are used as two independent components to implement the input and output functions of the mobile terminal.

[0099] The processor 110 is the control center of the mobile terminal. It uses various interfaces and lines to connect various parts of the entire mobile terminal. It executes various functions of the mobile terminal and processes data by running or executing software programs and / or modules stored in the memory 109, and calling data stored in the memory 109, so as to monitor the mobile terminal as a whole. The processor 110 may include one or more processing units; preferably, the processor 110 may integrate an application processor and a modem processor. Optionally, the application processor mainly processes the operating system, user interface, and application programs, and the modem processor mainly processes wireless communications.

[0406] Sixth embodiment

[0407] In order to solve the problem of PSFCH transmission discarded due to LBT failure, one PSCCH / PSSCH transmission can correspond to N PSFCH opportunities. In Rel-16 Sidelink, one PSCCH / PSSCH transmission only corresponds to one PSFCH opportunity. Due to limited PSFCH resources, the more PSFCH opportunities supported by each PSCCH / PSSCH transmission, the smaller the scale that sidelink groupcast option 2 can support compared with the existing Rel-16 Sidelink. Therefore, when one PSCCH / PSSCH transmission can correspond to N PSFCH opportunities, the correspondence between PSSCH and PSFCH needs to be redesigned.

[0408] Optionally, different resource sets are configured in the frequency domain for at least two PSFCHs at different PSFCH opportunities corresponding to the same PSSCH transmission through RRC signaling or preconfiguration, that is, at least two PSFCHs at different PSFCH opportunities corresponding to the same PSSCH transmission belong to different resource sets in the frequency domain.

[0409] Optionally, the number of resource sets is the same as the number of PSFCH opportunities corresponding to the same PSSCH transmission.

[0410] Optionally, the different resource sets do not overlap in the frequency domain.

[0411] Optionally, the resource set is composed of physical resource blocks and belongs to the same resource pool.

[0412] Optionally, the resource set is composed of sub-channels and belongs to the same resource pool. Among them, the sub-channel is composed of a plurality of consecutive physical resource blocks.

[0413] Optionally, the sub-channel is composed of at least one interleaving, where the interleaving is composed of equally spaced physical resource blocks.

[0414] Optionally, by means of RRC signaling or pre-configuration, at least one PSFCH on the PSFCH occasion corresponding to a PSSCH transmission is configured with a resource set in the frequency domain, which is called the first resource set. For at least one PSFCH on the second PSFCH occasion corresponding to a PSSCH transmission, its frequency domain position is obtained by adding a first offset to the frequency domain resource of the corresponding PSFCH in the first resource set. And so on, for at least one PSFCH on the Nth PSFCH occasion corresponding to a PSSCH transmission, its frequency domain position is obtained by adding an (N - 1)th offset to the frequency domain resource of the corresponding PSFCH in the first resource set.

[0415] Optionally, the first offset,..., the (N - 1)th offset are configured by RRC signaling.

[0416] Optionally, the correspondence between a PSSCH transmission and a PSFCH is described as follows.

[0417] A set of physical resource blocks in the resource pool is provided to the terminal through RRC signaling sl-PSFCH-RB-Set for PSFCH transmissions. The physical resource blocks in the resource pool contain HARQ-ACK information. For the Nsubch sub-channels (provided by RRC signaling sl-NumSubchannel) of the resource pool and the number of PSSCH time slots associated with the PSFCH time slot (less than or equal to ), the terminal allocates the physical resource blocks in the set of physical resource blocks to the PSSCH time slot i and sub-channel j associated with the PSFCH time slot, where Msubch,slotPSFCH = MPRB,setPSFCHNsubch·NPSSCHPSFCH, 0 ≤ i < NPSSCHPSFCH, 0 ≤ j < Nsubch, and NPSSCHPSFCH is provided by RRC signaling sl-PSFCH-Period and represents the period of the PSFCH. The allocation starts in ascending order of index i and continues in ascending order of index j.

[0418] Through the technical solution of this embodiment, the terminal obtains PSFCH resources on multiple PSFCH occasions corresponding to one PSSCH transmission through RRC signaling or pre-configuration, thereby increasing the probability of successful PSFCH transmission and improving system performance.
