[0036] 1. Interlaced Resource Block (IRB) Structure

[0037] One IRB includes multiple PRBs, where two consecutive available PRBs are separated by M PRBs. For an IRB index m, the PRBs it includes are {m, m+M, m+2M, m+3M, ...}, where m∈{0, 1, ..., M-1}, i.e., one IRB includes multiple PRBs, and the interval of PRBs is M. The IRB structures are defined for the two subcarrier intervals of 15kHz and 30kHz, respectively, as shown in Table 1 below.

[0038] Table 1 IRB structure

[0039] μ Subcarrier spacing M value 0 15kHz 10 1 30kHz 5

[0040] Below, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the specific implementation of the direct link resource determination method, device and user equipment in the embodiments of the present application is described in detail.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the method for determining the direct link resource in the embodiment of the present application includes:

[0042] Step 101, obtain PSFCH resource indication information; here, the PSFCH resource indication information can also be called PSFCH resource configuration information, wherein the PSFCH resource indication information can be configuration, pre-configuration or predefined information; specifically, each item of indication information in the PSFCH resource indication information can be configuration, pre-configuration or pre-defined, for example, each item of indication information in the PSFCH resource confidence information can be configured, or, can all be pre-configured, or, can all be predefined; or, each item of indication information in the PSFCH resource configuration information can include configured indication information, pre-configured indication information and / or predefined indication information.

[0043] Step 102, determining a target PSFCH resource according to the PSFCH resource indication information, wherein the target PSFCH resource is used for PSFCH transmission, wherein the PSFCH transmission is used to carry control information, and the control information includes hybrid automatic repeat request confirmation (HARQ-ACK) information or conflict information; wherein determining the target PSFCH resource may be determining one target PSFCH resource or determining multiple target PSFCH resources. Specifically, a single target PSFCH resource includes any of the following:

[0044] a first IRB and a first number of PRBs;

[0045] A second IRB.

[0046] Here, it should be noted that, firstly, the single target PSFCH resource in this step includes a first IRB and a first number of PRBs, or includes a second IRB, which specifically means that the target PSFCH resource used for a single PSFCH transmission includes a first IRB and a first number of PRBs, or includes a second IRB; that is, the resource structure used by the resources for a single PSFCH transmission is: a first IRB and a first number of PRBs, or a second IRB. Both, the first IRB is, for example, a common IRB, that is, all PSFCH transmissions in a time slot occupy the same IRB, or all PSFCH transmissions in the same RB set in a time slot occupy the same IRB; the first number of PRBs is, for example, a first number of dedicated PRBs, that is, the PSFCH transmission resources mapped to the PSSCH transmissions occupying non-overlapping resources are orthogonal, and the PSFCH transmission resource orthogonality may be that the PSFCH transmission resources are orthogonal in the time domain, and / or, orthogonal in the frequency domain, and / or, the PSFCH transmission resources are orthogonal in the code domain; the second IRB is, for example, a dedicated IRB, that is, the PSFCH transmission resources mapped to the PSSCH transmissions occupying non-overlapping resources are orthogonal, and the PSFCH transmission resource orthogonality may be that the PSFCH transmission resources are orthogonal in the time domain, and / or, orthogonal in the frequency domain, and / or, the PSFCH transmission resources are orthogonal in the code domain.

[0047] In the direct link resource determination method of the embodiment of the present application, first, obtain the physical direct link feedback channel PSFCH resource indication information; second, determine the target PSFCH resource according to the PSFCH resource indication information, wherein the target PSFCH resource is used for PSFCH transmission, and a single target PSFCH resource includes any of the following: a first IRB and a first number of PRBs; a second IRB. In this way, the target PSFCH resource suitable for the PSFCH physical layer structure characteristics in the SL-U can be determined based on the PSFCH resource indication information.

[0048] As an optional implementation manner, the PSFCH resource indication information includes at least one of the following:

[0049] The first indication information is used to indicate a resource block set (RB set) (or RB set set) including PSFCH resources in a resource pool; wherein the first indication information may also be referred to as RB set indication information, indicating an RB set or RB set set including PSFCH resources, and the RB set may be a subset of the RB set included in the resource pool or all RB sets included in the resource pool; it should be noted that when the PSFCH indication information does not include the first indication information, when configuring the PSFCH resources, it is necessary to satisfy that there are PSFCH resources in each RB set in the resource pool, and further, it is also necessary to satisfy that the PSFCH resources in each RB set are the same, and here, the same PSFCH resources means that at least one of the number of PRBs included in the PSFCH resources in different RB sets, the number of IRBs included in the PSFCH resources, and the index of the IRBs included in the PSFCH resources is the same;

[0050] The second indication information is used to indicate the PRB (or PRB set) that can be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception; that is, the PRB indicated by the second indication information can be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception; here, the PRB indicated by the second indication information is, for example, a Dedicated PRB (or Dedicated PRB set); the first number of PRBs contained in a single target PSFCH resource is determined from the PRBs indicated by the second indication information.

[0051] The third indication information is used to indicate a first IRB (or a first IRB set) that can be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception; for example, the first IRB is a Common IRB (or a Common IRB set), and the Common IRB may be an IRB located in a resource pool or an IRB located in an RB set; wherein the third indication information indicates that one of the IRBs is configured, pre-configured or pre-defined in the resource pool as a Common IRB, for example, the first IRB in the resource pool is configured as a Common IRB, that is, only one Common IRB is configured in the resource pool; the third indication information may also indicate that one of the IRBs is configured, pre-configured or pre-defined in each RB set in the resource pool as a Common IRB, for example, the first IRB in each RB set in the resource pool is pre-defined as a Common IRB, that is, the number of Common IRBs configured in the resource pool is equal to the number of RB sets contained in the resource pool; the third indication information may also indicate that each RB set in the target RB set in the resource pool or the target RB set set is configured, pre-configured or pre-defined as a Common IRB, and the target RB set may be an RB set indicated in the first indication information. For example, if the resource pool contains three RB sets, the first IRB in the first RB set and the second RB set is configured as a Common IRB, that is, the number of Common IRBs configured in the resource pool is equal to the number of RB sets included in the target RB set set. The first IRB included in a single target PSFCH resource is determined from the first IRB indicated by the third indication information.

[0052] The fourth indication information is used to indicate a second IRB (or a second IRB set) that can be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception; for example, the second IRB is a Dedicated IRB. A second IRB may be an IRB located in a resource pool or an IRB located in an RB set. The second IRB included in a single target PSFCH resource is determined from the second IRBs indicated by the fourth indication information.

[0053] As an example, when determining the target PSFCH resources, one or more target PSFCH resources including a first IRB and a first number of PRBs can be determined based on the second indication information and the third indication information, or based on the first indication information, the second indication information and the third indication information; one or more target PSFCH resources including an IRB can be determined based on the fourth indication information, or based on the first indication information and the fourth indication information.

[0054] As an optional implementation manner, the PRB indicated by the second indication information that can be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception is any one of the following:

[0055] PRBs contained in the resource pool that can be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception;

[0056] PRBs included in the target RB set that can be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception;

[0057] The target RB set may be any one or more RB sets in the resource pool (as a special case, multiple RB sets may refer to all RB sets in the resource pool); or, the target RB set may be the RB set indicated by the first indication information; that is, the target RB set may be one or more RB sets containing PSFCH resources; for example, when the PSFCH resource indication information includes the first indication information, the target RB set may be the RB set indicated by the first indication information; or, when the PSFCH resource indication information does not include the first indication information, the target RB set may be any one or more RB sets or all RB sets in the resource pool.

[0058] For example, when PSFCH resource configuration and resource mapping are performed according to the entire resource pool, the PRB indicated by the second indication information is the PRB in a resource pool that can be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception; when PSFCH resource configuration and resource mapping are performed according to each RB set (a resource pool includes one or more RB sets), the PRB indicated by the second indication information is the PRB in a specific RB set (target RB set) that can be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception.

[0059] Here, it should be noted that, when the PRB that can be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception indicated by the second indication information is the PRB that can be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception contained in the resource pool, in the subsequent process of determining the target PSFCH resources, the PSFCH resources can also be determined with RB set as the granularity, that is, the PSFCH resources can be determined according to each RB set.

[0060] As a specific implementation method, the PRBs configured in the resource pool that can be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception include a second number of first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources, where the first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources are, for example, a first number of PRBs (specifically, for example, a first number of dedicated PRBs); for example, the PRBs that can be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception include a second number of first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources, which can be understood as the PRBs that can be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception can constitute / combine into a second number of first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources.

[0061] The second number of first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources satisfies at least one of the following conditions:

[0062] The second number is an integer multiple of the product of the PSFCH resource period and the number of subchannels in the resource pool (the total number of subchannels included in all RB sets in the resource pool, that is, the number of subchannels included in a single RB set multiplied by the number of RB sets included in the resource pool); in particular, the integer multiple may be one, that is, the second number is the product of the PSFCH resource period and the number of subchannels in the resource pool;

[0063] The second quantity is a positive integer;

[0064] The first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resource includes a first number of PRBs, wherein the first number of PRBs satisfies a first condition; here, the first number is the number of PRBs (Dedicated PRBs) required to be occupied by a single PSFCH transmission;

[0065] Specifically, the first condition includes at least one of the following three conditions: being located in one RB set, being located in the same IRB, and being located in consecutive PRBs in the same IRB.

[0066] More specifically, the consecutive PRBs in the same IRB in this optional implementation include any of the following situations:

[0067] Case 1: Adjacent PRBs in the same IRB; that is, any two adjacent / continuous PRBs are separated by M PRBs, where M is determined by the subcarrier spacing. For example, when the subcarrier spacing is 15kHz, M is 10; when the subcarrier spacing is 30kHz, M is 5; below, combined with Figure 2 , an example is given for this situation:

[0068] Figure 2 PRB#0 and PRB#5 in are two adjacent PRBs in the same IRB#0, and can be referred to as two consecutive PRBs in the same IRB#0; Figure 2Although PRB#0 and PRB#10 are located in the same IRB#0, they are separated by PRB#5 (also located in IRB#0). Therefore, PRB#0 and PRB#10 belong to PRBs located in the same IRB, but do not belong to consecutive PRBs located in the same IRB.

[0069] Assume that the total number of subchannels in the resource pool (i.e., the sum of the number of subchannels contained in each RB set in the resource pool) is 2, and the PSFCH resource period is 1 time slot (i.e., each time slot needs to be configured with PSFCH resources). Therefore, the number of first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources (each first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resource contains the first number of dedicated PRBs, and the actual PSFCH transmission resource contains 1 Common IRB and the first number of dedicated PRBs, i.e., only dedicated PRBs are concerned here) contained in the PSFCH resources of a single time slot in the resource pool (here only dedicated PRBs are concerned, not Common IRBs) needs to be an integer multiple of 2 (1*2=2). For example, the number of first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources configured in a single time slot is 2, 4, or 6. At the same time, it can be understood that the number of complete PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources configured in a single time slot is 2, 4, or 6. Each PSFCH candidate frequency domain resource contains the first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resource and a Common IRB. The Common IRBs corresponding to different PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources are The IRBs are the same (or the Common IRBs corresponding to different PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources in the same RBset are the same);

[0070] like Figure 2 As shown, the PSFCH resources configured in a single time slot ( Figure 2 Only the dedicated PRBs in the PSFCH resources are reflected, and the Common IRB is not reflected) as the PRB corresponding to Bitmap 1; it can be seen that the Dedicated PRB configured for PSFCH contains two first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources, namely PRB#0+PRB#5 and PRB#4+PRB#9; among which, each first PSFCH candidate resource occupies 2 consecutive PRBs in the same IRB. PRB#0 and PRB#5 are two adjacent PRBs in IRB#0 (interval is 5 PRBs), and PRB#4 and PRB#9 are two adjacent PRBs in IRB#4 (interval is 5 PRBs).

[0071] Case 2: Adjacent PRBs in the same IRB except for PRBs that cannot be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception; Here, PRBs that cannot be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception specifically refer to PRBs with a bitmap of 0 or PRBs that cannot be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception; Below, combined with Figure 3, an example is given for the second situation:

[0072] Assume that the number of subchannels in the resource pool is 3 and the PSFCH resource period is 1 time slot. Therefore, the number of the first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources of a single time slot (each first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resource includes a first number of dedicated PRBs, and the actual complete PSFCH transmission resource includes 1 Common IRB and a first number of dedicated PRBs, that is, only the dedicated PRBs are concerned here) needs to be an integer multiple of 3 (1*3=3). For example, the number of first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources configured for a single time slot is 3, 6 or 9. At the same time, it can be understood that the number of complete PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources configured for a single time slot is 3, 6 or 9, and each PSFCH candidate frequency domain resource includes a first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resource and a Common IRB. The Common IRBs corresponding to different PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources are the same (or the Common IRBs corresponding to different PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources located in the same RB set are the same);

[0073] like Figure 3 As shown, the PSFCH resources configured in a single time slot ( Figure 3 Only the dedicated PRB in the PSFCH resource is reflected, and the Common IRB is not reflected. It is the PRB corresponding to Bitmap 1. It can be seen that the Dedicated PRB configured for PSFCH contains 3 PSFCH candidate resources; among them, each PSFCH candidate resource occupies 2 consecutive PRBs in the same IRB except for the unavailable PRB (PRB configured as 0 in Bitmap); therefore, Figure 3 The PRBs available for PSFCH transmission in the time slot are PRB#0, PRB#2, PRB#4, PRB#7, PRB#10 and PRB#14. PRB#0, PRB#5 and PRB#10 are located in the same IRB#0, but because PRB#5 is unavailable, PRB#0 and PRB#10 are continuous PRBs in the same IRB (IRB#0) except PRB#5. Similarly, because PRB#9 is unavailable, PRB#4 and PRB#14 are continuous PRBs in the same IRB (IRB#4) except PRB#9. In addition, PRB#2 and PRB#7 are also continuous PRBs in the same IRB (IRB#2), and there is no unavailable PRB in the same IRB between these two PRBs. Therefore, the time slot contains 3 PSFCH candidate resources, namely PRB#0+PRB#10, PRB#2+PRB#7, and PRB#4+PRB#14.

[0074] As another specific implementation method, the PRBs that can be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception configured in any RB set within the target RB set include a third number of first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources; as mentioned above, the target RB set can be any one or more RB sets in the resource pool (as a special case, multiple RB sets can refer to all RB sets in the resource pool); or, the target RB set is the RB set indicated by the first indication information. In addition, the first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources here are, for example, a first number of PRBs (specifically, for example, a first number of dedicated PRBs); for example, the PRBs that can be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception include the third number of first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources, which can be understood as the PRBs that can be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception can constitute / combine into a third number of first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources; wherein the third number of first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources satisfies at least one of the following conditions:

[0075] The third number is an integer multiple of the product of the PSFCH resource period and the number of subchannels in any RB set in the target RB set; in particular, the integer multiple may be one, that is, the third number is the product of the PSFCH resource period and the number of subchannels in any RB set in the target RB set;

[0076] The third quantity is a positive integer;

[0077] The first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources include a first number of PRBs, wherein the first number of PRBs satisfies a first condition. Here, the first number is the number of PRBs (Dedicated PRBs) that need to be occupied by a single PSFCH transmission.

[0078] Specifically, the first condition includes at least one of the following three conditions: being located in one RB set, being located in the same IRB, and being located in consecutive PRBs in the same IRB.

[0079] More specifically, consecutive PRBs in the same IRB include any of the following:

[0080] (1) Adjacent PRBs in the same IRB; that is, any two adjacent / continuous PRBs are separated by M PRBs, where M is determined by the subcarrier spacing. For example, when the subcarrier spacing is 15 kHz, M is 10; when the subcarrier spacing is 30 kHz, M is 5. Figure 4 , an example is given to illustrate this situation:

[0081] Assume that the resource pool contains 2 RB sets, each RB set contains 5 subchannels (each subchannel contains 1 IRB located in 1 RB set), and the PSFCH resource period is 1 time slot. Therefore, the number of first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources contained in each RB set (each first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resource contains a first number of dedicated PRBs, and the actual PSFCH transmission resources contain 1 Common IRB and the first number of dedicated PRBs, that is, only dedicated PRBs are concerned here) needs to be an integer multiple of 5 (1*5=5). For example, the number of PSFCH candidate resources contained in each RB set can be 5 or 10. At the same time, it can be understood that the number of complete PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources configured in each RB set in a single time slot is 5 or 10, and each PSFCH candidate frequency domain resource contains the first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resource and a Common IRB, and the Common IRBs corresponding to different PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources are the same (or the Common IRBs corresponding to different PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources in the same RB set are the same). In addition, the number of (first) PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources in different RB sets needs to be the same, or the number of (first) PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources in different RB sets can be the same or different, for example, the number of (first) PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources configured in the first RB set is 5, and the number of (first) PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources configured in the second RB set is 10.

[0082] like Figure 4 As shown, the number of PRBs contained in a single RB set is 50 (the guard band PRBs configured in the two RB sets are not considered here). PSFCH resources (such as Figure 4As shown, here PSFCH resources only refer to dedicated PRBs, and Common IRBs are not reflected here. It is the PRB corresponding to Bitmap 1; it can be seen that the Dedicated PRB configured for PSFCH in each RB set contains 5 first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources, and the first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources contained in RB set #0 are PRB #0 + PRB #5, PRB #1 + PRB #6, PRB #2 + PRB #7, PRB #3 + PRB #8, PRB #4 + PRB #9; the first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources contained in RB set #1 are PRB #50 + PRB #55, PRB #51 + PRB #56, PRB #52 + PRB #57, PRB #53 + PRB #58, PRB #54 + PRB #59. Among them, each first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resource occupies 2 consecutive PRBs in the same IRB in the same RB set. For example, PRB#0 and PRB#5 are two adjacent / continuous PRBs (interval of 5 PRBs) of IRB#0 in RB set#0, and PRB#4 and PRB#9 are two adjacent / continuous PRBs (interval of 5 PRBs) of IRB#4 in RB set#0.

[0083] (2) Adjacent PRBs in the same IRB except for PRBs that cannot be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception.

[0084] Optionally, the first IRB indicated by the third indication information that can be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception is any one of the following:

[0085] A first IRB / first IRB set contained in the resource pool and usable for PSFCH transmission and / or reception;

[0086] The first IRB / first IRB set contained in the target RB set can be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception; wherein the target RB set can be any one or more RB sets in the resource pool (as a special case, multiple RB sets can refer to all RB sets in the resource pool); or, the target RB set is the RB set indicated by the first indication information.

[0087] Here, it should be noted that, when the first IRB / first IRB set indicated by the third indication information that can be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception is a PRB that can be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception contained in the resource pool, in the subsequent process of determining the target PSFCH resources, the PSFCH resources can also be determined with RB set as the granularity, that is, the PSFCH resources can be determined according to each RB set.

[0088] Here, it is also necessary to explain that the first IRB indicated by the third indication information can be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception means that the first IRB indicated by the third indication information can be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception, but the first IRB indicated by the third indication information is not necessarily used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception. For example, the first IRB indicated by the third indication information is ultimately used to transmit other signals. For example, the other signal is a PSFCH-like signal.

[0089] When the first IRB is a Common IRB, the first IRB and the PRB (dedicated PRB) for PSFCH transmission and / or reception indicated by the second indication information are located in the same RB set. For example, if the Common IRB is configured in RB set #1 and RB set #2, then the Dedicated PRB also needs to be configured in RB set #1 and RB set #2.

[0090] In addition, the Common IRB in the resource pool includes one or more Common IRBs (for example, one Common IRB is configured in each RB set), where one Common IRB and the above-mentioned first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources (i.e., the first number of PRBs) constitute a complete PSFCH transmission candidate resource, wherein the Common IRB and PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources corresponding to a complete PSFCH transmission candidate resource are located in the same RB set.

[0091] Here, it should be noted that, when the first IRB is a Common IRB, the first IRB may be predefined, for example, IRB#0 in the resource pool is directly predefined as a Common IRB.

[0092] As an optional implementation manner, the second IRB indicated by the fourth indication information that can be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception is any one of the following:

[0093] A second IRB contained in the resource pool that can be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception;

[0094] A second IRB included in the target RB set that can be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception;

[0095] The target RB set may be any one or more RB sets in the resource pool (as a special case, multiple RB sets may refer to all RB sets in the resource pool); or, the target RB set is the RB set indicated by the first indication information. That is, the target RB set is one or more RB sets containing PSFCH resources; for example, when the PSFCH resource indication information includes the first indication information, the target RB set is the RB set indicated by the first indication information; or, when the PSFCH resource indication information does not include the first indication information, the target RB set may be any one or more RB sets or all RB sets in the resource pool.

[0096] Here, it should be noted that, when the second IRB indicated by the fourth indication information that can be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception is a PRB that can be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception contained in the resource pool, in the subsequent process of determining the target PSFCH resources, the PSFCH resources can also be determined with RB set as the granularity, that is, the PSFCH resources can be determined according to each RBset.

[0097] For example, when PSFCH resource configuration and resource mapping are performed according to the entire resource pool, the second IRB indicated by the fourth indication information may be a second IRB in a resource pool that can be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception; when PSFCH resource configuration and resource mapping are performed according to each RB set (a resource pool includes one or more RB sets), the second IRB indicated by the fourth indication information may be a second IRB in a specific RB set (target RB set) that can be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception.

[0098] As a specific implementation, the second IRB included in the resource pool that can be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception includes a fourth number of PSFCH candidate resources; similarly, for example, the second IRB that can be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception includes a fourth number of PSFCH candidate resources, which can be understood as the second IRB that can be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception can constitute / combine into a fourth number of PSFCH candidate resources. Among them, the PSFCH candidate resources meet the second condition; specifically, the second condition includes any one of the following:

[0099] An IRB in an RB set; For example, a single PSFCH transmission occupies an IRB in 1 RB set. Figure 5As shown, based on the PSFCH resources configured by Bitmap, two PSFCH candidate (frequency domain) resources can be determined, which are IRB#0 located in RB set#0 (including 10 PRBs) and IRB#1 located in RBset#1 (including 10 PRBs);

[0100] PRBs within an IRB in an RB set, excluding PRBs that cannot be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception; for example, a single PSFCH transmission occupies an IRB within 1 RB set. Figure 6 As shown, based on the PSFCH resources configured by Bitmap, two PSFCH candidate resources can be determined, namely, the remaining part of IRB#0 in RB set#0 except PRB#5 (including 9 PRBs) and IRB#1 in RB set#1 (including 10 PRBs).

[0101] and / or,

[0102] The fourth quantity satisfies at least one of the following conditions:

[0103] The fourth number is an integer multiple of the product of the PSFCH resource period and the number of subchannels in the resource pool (the total number of subchannels included in all RB sets in the resource pool, that is, the number of subchannels included in a single RB set multiplied by the number of RB sets included in the resource pool); in particular, the integer multiple may be one, that is: the fourth number is the product of the PSFCH resource period and the number of subchannels in the resource pool; it should be noted here that when a subchannel includes two IRBs in one RB set, the PSFCH resource period may be configured as 1 or 2, wherein when a subchannel includes one IRB in one RB set, the PSFCH resource period may only be configured as 1;

[0104] The fourth quantity is a positive integer;

[0105] The fourth quantity is the product of the number of RB sets in the resource pool and the number of IRBs contained in a single RB set, that is, the frequency domain range of the PSFCH resource is the entire resource pool;

[0106] As another specific implementation method, the second IRB that can be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception contained in any RB set within the target RB set includes a fifth number of PSFCH candidate resources; as mentioned above, the target RB set can be any one or more RB sets in the resource pool (as a special case, multiple RB sets can refer to all RBsets in the resource pool); or, the target RB set is the RB set indicated by the first indication information.

[0107] Among them, the PSFCH candidate resources meet the second condition; as mentioned above, the second condition includes: an IRB located in an RB set, and / or, a PRB located in an IRB in an RB set, except for PRBs that cannot be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception. Examples of the second condition are not expanded here.

[0108] and / or,

[0109] The fifth quantity satisfies at least one of the following conditions:

[0110] The fifth number is an integer multiple of the product of the PSFCH resource period and the number of subchannels of any RB set in the target RB set; in particular, the integer multiple may be one, that is, the fifth number is the product of the PSFCH resource period and the number of subchannels of any RB set in the target RB set;

[0111] The fifth number is a positive integer; for example, when the subcarrier spacing is 15 kHz, the fifth number is 10; when the subcarrier spacing is 30 kHz, the fifth number is 5, that is, the PSFCH resource configuration range is the entire target RB set;

[0112] The fifth number is the number of IRBs included in any RB set in the target RB set.

[0113] Here, it should be emphasized that the PSFCH candidate resources in the fourth number of PSFCH candidate resources and the fifth number of PSFCH candidate resources can be the following two cases: case 1, the PSFCH candidate resources are PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources, that is, only the frequency domain is considered; case 2: the PSFCH candidate resources include frequency domain and code domain resources, for example, considering code domain enhancement, such as cyclic shift, on a PSFCH candidate frequency domain resource, 5 UEs can be multiplexed on the frequency domain resource. For case 2, the fourth number / fifth number=PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources*maximum multiplexing number of a single candidate frequency domain resource.

[0114] Further, as an optional implementation, before step 102, determining the target PSFCH resource according to the PSFCH resource indication information, the method further includes at least one of the following:

[0115] Determine the number of PSFCH candidate resources; here, it should be noted that when the structure of the PSFCH resource is a first IRB (such as Common IRB) and a first number of PRBs (such as Dedicated PRBs), the PSFCH candidate resource only refers to the first number of PRBs, that is, the PSFCH candidate resource is the above-mentioned first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resource; it can also be understood that the PSFCH candidate resource is a complete PSFCH candidate resource corresponding to the PSFCH transmission, that is, a single PSFCH candidate resource includes the first IRB and the first number of PRBs. In this case, the number of PSFCH candidate resources is equal to the number of the first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources. When the structure of the PSFCH resource is a second IRB (such as Dedicated IRB), the PSFCH candidate resource refers to a complete PSFCH resource, that is, a second IRB;

[0116] Determine the correspondence between the PSSCH time slot and subchannel and the PSFCH candidate resource; Here, the PSSCH time slot refers to the time slot associated with the PSFCH candidate resource;

[0117] Determine a PSFCH candidate resource set, where the PSFCH candidate resource set is a PSFCH candidate resource set corresponding to the received PSSCH; wherein the PSFCH candidate resource set includes a set of PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources, or includes a set of PSFCH candidate frequency domain and code domain resources (for example, if there are 2 frequency domain resources and 4 code domain resources, the number of PSFCH candidate resources included in the final PSFCH candidate resource set is 8).

[0118] As a specific example, this optional implementation method can be, first, determining the number of PSFCH candidate resources, secondly, determining the correspondence between PSSCH time slots and subchannels and PSFCH candidate resources based on the number of PSFCH candidate resources, thirdly, determining the PSFCH candidate resource set based on the correspondence, and finally, determining the target PSFCH resource based on the PSFCH candidate resource set.

[0119] As an optional implementation, determining the number of PSFCH candidate resources includes:

[0120] The number of PSFCH candidate resources is determined according to a third condition related to the PSFCH candidate resources and the PSFCH resource indication information, wherein the third condition is any one of the following:

[0121] A PSFCH candidate resource includes a first IRB and a first PSFCH candidate resource, wherein the first PSFCH candidate resource is a first number of PRBs; here, the first IRB is, for example, a Common IRB, and the first number of PRBs is, for example, a first number of Dedicated PRBs; that is, the structure of the PSFCH candidate resource is a first IRB and a first number of PRBs; for example, according to the second indication information in the resource pool, N first PSFCH candidate resources that meet the first condition can be determined in a PSFCH time slot, and each first PSFCH candidate resource corresponds to 1 Common IRB, so the number of PSFCH candidate resources contained in the time slot is N. In addition, determining the number of PSFCH candidate resources here can also be understood as determining the number of first PSFCH candidate (frequency domain) resources, that is, according to the second indication information in the resource pool, N PSFCH candidate resources that meet the first condition can be determined in a PSFCH time slot. Each PSFCH candidate resource corresponds to a Common IRB, so the number of determined complete PSFCH candidate resources (including a first IRB and a first PSFCH candidate resource) is equal to the number of first PSFCH candidate resources.

[0122] One PSFCH candidate resource includes one second IRB; here, the second IRB is, for example, a Dedicated IRB, that is, the structure of the PSFCH candidate resource is one second IRB.

[0123] Based on this, this optional implementation method specifically determines the number of PSFCH candidate resources based on the structure of the PSFCH candidate resources and the PSFCH resource indication information.

[0124] As a specific implementation, the first PSFCH candidate resource satisfies the first condition, as described above, the first condition includes: being located in an RB set; being located in the same IRB; and being located in at least one of consecutive PRBs in the same IRB. Specifically, in the case where the first condition includes being located in consecutive PRBs in the same IRB, the first PSFCH candidate resource includes: a first number of adjacent PRBs in the same IRB; or, a first number of adjacent PRBs in the same IRB excluding PRBs that cannot be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception.

[0125] For a specific example of the first number of adjacent PRBs in the same IRB, such as Figure 7As shown, the PSFCH resources configured for a single time slot (here refers to the first number of PRBs (dedicated PRBs), excluding Common IRBs) are the PRBs corresponding to Bitmap 1. For the case where a single PSFCH transmission occupies 1 Common IRB + 2 Dedicated PRBs, it is necessary to first determine the candidate resources that meet the requirements in the PRBs configured for PSFCH (the first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources). This example only describes the process of determining the Dedicated PRB: according to the PRB index from small to large, determine the number of candidate resources that meet the requirements. The requirements here include: 2 Dedicated PRBs belong to 2 consecutive PRBs in the same IRB. The "continuous" refers to consecutive PRBs in the same IRB (the interval between any two consecutive PRBs is M, where M is determined by the subcarrier interval, and the value of M can be 10 or 5).

[0126] According to the definition, PRB#0, PRB#5, PRB#10, and PRB#15 are located in the same IRB. Assume that the number of dedicated PRBs occupied by a single PSFCH transmission is 2. Among them, PRB#0 and PRB#5, PRB#10 and PRB#15 can be called two consecutive PRBs located in the same IRB. Therefore, PRB#0+PRB#5 is a PSFCH candidate resource and PRB#10+PRB#15 is a PSFCH candidate resource. However, since PRB#6 is not a PRB configured for PSFCH transmission and / or reception, PRB#1+PRB#6 cannot be used as a candidate resource. In addition, since PRB#1+PRB#11 does not meet the definition of continuous PRBs, PRB#1+PRB#11 cannot be used as a PSFCH candidate resource. Based on the above principles, there are 3 PSFCH candidate resources in this time slot, namely: PRB#0+PRB#5, PRB#4+PRB#9, PRB#10+PRB#15.

[0127] For the specific example of the first number of adjacent PRBs in the same IRB except for the PRBs that cannot be used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception, it is assumed that the number of dedicated PRBs occupied by a single PSFCH transmission is 2. Figure 8As shown in the figure, PRB#0 and PRB#5 are located in adjacent PRBs in the same IRB, so they are one PSFCH candidate resource; for PRB#1, PRB#6 and PRB#11, since PRB#6 is an unavailable PRB, PRB#1 and PRB#11 are two consecutive PRBs in IRB#1 except for the unavailable PRB#6, so PRB#1 and PRB#11 are one PSFCH candidate resource; the other PSFCH candidate resources are analogous. Therefore, there are 5 PSFCH candidate resources in this time slot, namely PRB#0+PRB#5, PRB#1+PRB#11, PRB#3+PRB#13, PRB#4+PRB#9, PRB#10+PRB#15.

[0128] As another specific implementation manner, when the third condition is that a PSFCH candidate resource includes a second IRB, the PSFCH candidate resource satisfies the second condition.

[0129] As mentioned above, the second condition includes any of the following:

[0130] An IRB located in an RB set;

[0131] PRBs within an IRB in an RB set, except PRBs that cannot be used for PSFCH transmission.

[0132] As an optional implementation manner, when the third condition is that a PSFCH candidate resource includes a first IRB and a first PSFCH candidate resource, determining the correspondence between the PSSCH time slot and the subchannel and the PSFCH candidate resource includes at least one of the following:

[0133] (1) Determine the number of first PSFCH candidate resources / PSFCH candidate resources corresponding to a subchannel in a PSSCH time slot according to the PSFCH resource period, the number of subchannels in the resource pool, and the number of first PSFCH candidate resources / PSFCH candidate resources in the resource pool; Here, the first PSFCH candidate resource may specifically be a first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resource, and the PSFCH candidate resource is a complete candidate resource corresponding to a single PSFCH transmission, including a Common IRB and the first PSFCH candidate resource, wherein this step may be represented by the following formula:

[0134] M subCH,slot =M Resorce set / (N subch *N PSFCH,PSSCH ),or,

[0135] or,

[0136] in:

[0137] M subCH,slot Indicates the number of first PSFCH candidate resources / PSFCH candidate resources corresponding to a subchannel in a PSSCH time slot;

[0138] M Resorce set Indicates the first PSFCH candidate resource / total number of PSFCH candidate resources in a time slot of the resource pool;

[0139] N subch Indicates the number of sub-channels in the resource pool;

[0140] N PSFCH,PSSCH Indicates the PSFCH resource period.

[0141] like Fig. 9 As shown, a specific example of this step is: the PSFCH resource period is 4 time slots, that is, the subchannels of 4 time slots correspond to the PSFCH resources of 1 time slot, each time slot contains 4 subchannels, and the PSFCH resources are configured with 32 first PSFCH candidate (frequency domain) resources / PSFCH candidate resources that meet the first condition in the frequency domain, wherein each first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resource contains 2 consecutive PRBs located in 1 IRB. Therefore, each subchannel corresponds to 2 (32 / (4*4)=2) first PSFCH candidate (frequency domain) resources / PSFCH candidate resources, and the mapping is carried out according to the principle of time domain priority mapping, that is, the first subchannel in the first time slot corresponds to the lowest 2 first PSFCH candidate (frequency domain) resources / PSFCH candidate resources in the frequency domain, and the first subchannel in the second time slot corresponds to the subsequent 2 first PSFCH candidate (frequency domain) resources / PSFCH candidate resources, and so on.

[0142] If the subchannels occupied by PSSCH are the first subchannel and the second subchannel of the 4th time slot (i.e. Fig. 9 The first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources corresponding to subchannel 3 are two consecutive PRBs in IRB#0 and two consecutive PRBs in IRB#1; the first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources corresponding to subchannel 7 are two consecutive PRBs in IRB#4 and two consecutive PRBs in IRB#5.

[0143] (2) For any RB set, according to the PSFCH resource period, the number of subchannels in the any RB set and the number of first PSFCH candidate resources / PSFCH candidate resources in the any RB set, determine the number of first PSFCH candidate resources / PSFCH candidate resources corresponding to a subchannel in a PSSCH time slot in the any RB set. Here, the first PSFCH candidate resource is, for example, a first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resource, and the PSFCH candidate resource is a complete candidate resource corresponding to a single PSFCH transmission, including a Common IRB and the first PSFCH candidate resource, wherein this step can be determined based on the following formula:

[0144] M subCH,slot =M Resorce set / (N subch *N PSFCH,PSSCH ),or,

[0145] or,

[0146] in:

[0147] M subCH,slot Indicates the number of first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources / PSFCH candidate resources corresponding to a subchannel in a PSSCH time slot;

[0148] M Resorce set Indicates the total number of PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources / PSFCH candidate resources in any RB set in a time slot;

[0149] N subch Indicates the number of subchannels in any RB set in a time slot;

[0150] N PSFCH,PSSCH Indicates the PSFCH resource period.

[0151] (3) Determine the number of first PSFCH candidate resources / PSFCH candidate resources corresponding to a subchannel in a PSSCH time slot according to the PSFCH resource period, the number of subchannels in the resource pool, the number of first PSFCH candidate resources / PSFCH candidate resources in the resource pool, and the multiplexing number of PSFCH transmissions supported by a single PSFCH candidate resource; the candidate resources in this step include frequency domain resources and code domain resources, that is, different candidate resources have different frequency domains and the same code domain, or the same frequency domain and different code domain, or different frequency domains and different code domains;

[0152] Here, it should be noted that the way to achieve multiplexing includes enhancement in the code domain, such as cyclic shift, cyclic shift hopping or PRB-level cyclic shift, etc. Therefore, the multiplexing number of PSFCH transmission is, for example, the number of cyclic shift pairs, the number of cyclic shift hoppings or the number of PRB-level cyclic shifts, etc.

[0153] This step can be determined based on the following formula:

[0154] M subCH,slot =(M Resorce set *Y) / (N subch *N PSFCH,PSSCH ),or,

[0155] or,

[0156] in:

[0157] M subCH,slot Indicates the number of first PSFCH candidate resources / PSFCH candidate resources corresponding to a subchannel in a PSSCH time slot;

[0158] M Resorce set Indicates the first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resource / the total number of PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources in a time slot of the resource pool;

[0159] Y represents the number of PSFCH transmission multiplexing (or the number of cyclic shift pairs) that can be supported by a single PSFCH candidate frequency domain resource;

[0160] N subch Indicates the number of sub-channels in the resource pool;

[0161] N PSFCH,PSSCH Indicates the PSFCH resource period.

[0162] (4) For any RB set, determine the number of first PSFCH candidate resources / PSFCH candidate resources corresponding to a subchannel in a PSSCH time slot in any RB set based on the PSFCH resource period, the number of subchannels in any RB set and the number of first PSFCH candidate resources / PSFCH candidate resources in any RB set, as well as the multiplexing number of PSFCH transmissions supported by a single (first) PSFCH candidate resource; the first PSFCH candidate resources in this step include frequency domain resources and code domain resources, that is, different candidate resources have different frequency domains and the same code domains, or have the same frequency domains and different code domains, or have different frequency domains and different code domains.

[0163] Here, it should be noted that the way to achieve multiplexing includes enhancement in the code domain, such as cyclic shift, cyclic shift hopping or PRB-level cyclic shift, etc. Therefore, the multiplexing number of PSFCH transmission is, for example, the number of cyclic shift pairs, the number of cyclic shift hoppings or the number of PRB-level cyclic shifts, etc.

[0164] This step can be determined based on the following formula:

[0165] M subCH,slot =(M Resorce set *Y) / (N subch *N PSFCH,PSSCH ),or,

[0166] or,

[0167] in:

[0168] M subCH,slot Indicates the number of first PSFCH candidate resources / PSFCH candidate resources corresponding to a subchannel in a PSSCH time slot;

[0169] M Resorce set Indicates the first PSFCH candidate frequency domain resource / total number of PSFCH candidate resources in any RB set in a time slot;

[0170] Y represents the number of PSFCH transmission multiplexing (or the number of cyclic shift pairs) that can be supported by a single PSFCH candidate frequency domain resource;

[0171] N subch Indicates the number of subchannels in any RB set in a time slot;

[0172] N PSFCH,PSSCH Indicates the PSFCH resource period.

[0173] (5) According to the PSFCH resource period, the number of subchannels in the resource pool, and the number of PRBs configured for PSFCH transmission and / or reception in the resource pool, determine the number of PRBs included in a PSFCH candidate resource set corresponding to a subchannel in a PSSCH time slot; here, the first PSFCH candidate resource may specifically be a candidate frequency domain resource, wherein this step may be represented by the following formula:

[0174] M subCH,slot =M Resorce set / (N subch *N PSFCH,PSSCH ),or,

[0175] or,

[0176] in:

[0177] M subCH,slot Indicates the number of PRBs contained in the PSFCH candidate resource set corresponding to a subchannel in a PSSCH time slot;

[0178] M Resorce set Indicates the total number of PRBs used for PSFCH transmission and / or reception in a time slot;

[0179] N subch Indicates the number of subchannels in a time slot;

[0180] N PSFCH,PSSCH Indicates the PSFCH resource period.

[0181] As another optional implementation, when the third condition is that a PSFCH candidate resource includes a second IRB, determining the correspondence between the PSSCH time slot and the subchannel and the PSFCH candidate resource includes at least one of the following:

[0182] (1) According to the PSFCH resource period, the number of sub-channels in the resource pool, and the number of PSFCH candidate resources in the resource pool, the number of PSFCH candidate resources corresponding to a sub-channel in a PSSCH time slot is determined; the PSFCH candidate resources here are the second IRB, and the PSFCH candidate resources can be called PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources; wherein this step can be expressed by the following formula:

[0183] M subCH,slot =M Resorce set / (N subch *N PSFCH,PSSCH ),or,

[0184] or,

[0185] in:

[0186] M subCH,slot Indicates the number of PSFCH candidate (frequency domain) resources corresponding to a subchannel in a PSSCH time slot;

[0187] M Resorce set Indicates the total number of candidate resources for PSFCH transmission in a time slot of the resource pool (i.e., the number of PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources in the resource pool);

[0188] N subch Indicates the number of subchannels in a time slot;

[0189] NPSFCH,PSSCH Indicates the PSFCH resource period.

[0190] (2) Determine the number of subchannels corresponding to one PSFCH candidate resource according to the PSFCH resource period, the number of subchannels in the resource pool, and the number of PSFCH candidate resources in the resource pool; wherein this step can be expressed by the following formula:

[0191] M subCH,slot =N subch *N PSFCH,PSSCH / M Resorce set ,or,

[0192] or,

[0193] in:

[0194] M subCH,slot Indicates the number of subchannels corresponding to a PSFCH candidate resource;

[0195] N subch Indicates the number of sub-channels in a time slot of the resource pool;

[0196] N PSFCH,PSSCH Indicates the PSFCH resource period;

[0197] M Resorce set Indicates the total number of PSFCH candidate (frequency domain) resources in one time slot of the resource pool.

[0198] like Fig.10 As shown, a specific example of this step is as follows: the PSFCH resource of one time slot corresponds to the subchannel of the PSSCH of two time slots, including 5 subchannels in the frequency domain, each PSFCH resource includes an IRB, and there are 5 PSFCH candidate (frequency domain) resources. Then one PSFCH candidate (frequency domain) resource corresponds to 2 (2*5 / 5=2) subchannels. Subchannels numbered 0 and 1 correspond to PSFCH candidate (frequency domain) resource 0, subchannels numbered 2 and 3 correspond to PSFCH candidate (frequency domain) resource 1, and so on. At the same time, the PSFCH resources also include multiplexing in the code domain, that is, supporting 2 UEs to multiplex on the same PSFCH frequency domain resources, so the total number of PSFCH candidate resources is 5*2=10.

[0199] (3) For any RB set, the number of PSFCH candidate resources corresponding to one subchannel in one PSSCH time slot in any RB set is determined according to the PSFCH resource period, the number of subchannels in the any RB set, and the number of PSFCH candidate resources in the any RB set; wherein this step can be expressed by the following formula:

[0200] M subCH,slot =M Resorce set / (N subch *N PSFCH,PSSCH ),or,

[0201] or,

[0202] in:

[0203] M subCH,slot Indicates the number of PSFCH candidate (frequency domain) resources corresponding to a subchannel in any RB set in a PSSCH time slot;

[0204] M Resorce set Indicates the total number of PSFCH candidate (frequency domain) resources in any RB set within a time slot;

[0205] N subch Indicates the number of subchannels in any RB set in a time slot;

[0206] N PSFCH,PSSCH Indicates the PSFCH resource period.

[0207] (4) For any RB set, the number of subchannels corresponding to one PSFCH candidate resource in any RB set is determined according to the PSFCH resource period, the number of subchannels in the any RB set, and the number of PSFCH candidate resources in the any RB set. This step can be expressed by the following formula:

[0208] M subCH,slot =(N subch *N PSFCH,PSSCH ) / M Resorce set ,or,

[0209] or,

[0210] in:

[0211] M subCH,slot Indicates the number of subchannels corresponding to a PSFCH candidate resource in any RB set;

[0212] N subch Indicates the number of subchannels in any RB set in a time slot;

[0213] N PSFCH,PSSCH Indicates the PSFCH resource period;

[0214] M Resorce setIndicates the total number of PSFCH candidate (frequency domain) resources in any RB set within a time slot.

[0215] (5) Determine the number of PSFCH candidate resources corresponding to a subchannel in a PSSCH time slot based on the PSFCH resource period, the number of subchannels in the resource pool, the number of PSFCH candidate resources in the resource pool, and the multiplexing number of PSFCH transmissions supported by a single PSFCH candidate frequency domain resource; here, the PSFCH candidate resources may specifically be frequency domain resources and code domain resources.

[0216] Here, it should be noted that the way to achieve multiplexing includes enhancement in the code domain, such as cyclic shift, cyclic shift hopping or PRB-level cyclic shift, etc. Therefore, the multiplexing number of PSFCH transmission is, for example, the number of cyclic shift pairs, the number of cyclic shift hoppings or the number of PRB-level cyclic shifts, etc.

[0217] Specifically, this step can be expressed by the following formula:

[0218] M subCH,slot =(M Resorce set *Y) / (N subch *N PSFCH,PSSCH ),or,

[0219] or,

[0220] in:

[0221] M subCH,slot Indicates the number of PSFCH candidate resources corresponding to a subchannel in a PSSCH time slot;

[0222] M Resorce set Indicates the total number of candidate resources for PSFCH transmission in a time slot of the resource pool (i.e., the number of PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources in the resource pool);

[0223] Y represents the number of PSFCH transmission multiplexing (or the number of cyclic shift pairs) that can be supported by a single PSFCH candidate resource;

[0224] N subch Indicates the number of subchannels in a time slot;

[0225] N PSFCH,PSSCH Indicates the PSFCH resource period.

[0226] A specific example of this step is Fig.11As shown, a PSFCH resource of one time slot corresponds to a PSSCH subchannel of two time slots, including 5 subchannels in the frequency domain, each PSFCH resource includes an IRB, and there are 5 PSFCH candidate frequency domain resources in total. At the same time, the PSFCH resource also includes multiplexing in the code domain, so the total number of PSFCH candidate resources is 5*2=10.

[0227] (6) For any RB set, the number of PSFCH candidate resources corresponding to a subchannel in a PSSCH time slot in any RB set is determined according to the PSFCH resource period, the number of subchannels in any RB set, the number of PSFCH candidate resources in any RB set, and the multiplexing number of PSFCH transmissions supported by a single PSFCH candidate frequency domain resource. Here, the PSFCH candidate resources include resources in the frequency domain and the code domain.

[0228] Here, it should be noted that the way to achieve multiplexing includes enhancement in the code domain, such as cyclic shift, cyclic shift hopping or PRB-level cyclic shift, etc. Therefore, the multiplexing number of PSFCH transmission is, for example, the number of cyclic shift pairs, the number of cyclic shift hoppings or the number of PRB-level cyclic shifts, etc.

[0229] Among them, this step can be expressed by the following formula:

[0230] M subCH,slot =(M Resorce set *Y) / (N subch *N PSFCH,PSSCH ),or,

[0234] M Resorce set Indicates the total number of PSFCH candidate (frequency domain) resources in any RB set within a time slot;

[0239] M subCH,slot =M Resorce set / (N subch *N PSFCH,PSSCH ),or,

[0240] or,

[0241] in:

[0242] M subCH,slot Indicates the number of PRBs contained in the PSFCH candidate resources corresponding to a subchannel in a PSSCH time slot;

[0243] M Resorce set Indicates the total number of PRBs used for PSFCH transmission in a time slot.

[0244] N subch Indicates the number of subchannels in a time slot;

[0246] As another optional implementation, when the third condition is that a PSFCH candidate resource includes a second IRB, the correspondence between the PSSCH time slot and the subchannel and the PSFCH candidate resource includes at least one of the following:

[0247] The subchannel index is the same as the IRB index corresponding to the PSFCH candidate resource;

[0248] The subchannel index is the same as the PSFCH candidate resource index;

[0249] The index of the IRB corresponding to the subchannel is the same as the index of the IRB corresponding to the PSFCH candidate resource.

[0250] Here, it should be noted that after determining the number of first PSFCH candidate resources corresponding to a sub-channel in a PSSCH time slot according to the above-mentioned multiple optional implementation methods, or after determining the number of sub-channels corresponding to a PSFCH candidate resource, it is possible to further determine a set of PSFCH candidate resources corresponding to a sub-channel in a PSSCH time slot based on the above-mentioned determined content.

[0251] As an optional implementation manner, determining a PSFCH candidate resource set includes:

[0252] According to the reference subchannels occupied in the reference RB set corresponding to the PSSCH transmission, a PSFCH candidate resource set corresponding to the PSSCH is determined.

[0255] The RB set with the largest index among all RB sets corresponding to PSSCH transmission;

[0257] Specifically, the reference subchannel includes any of the following:

[0258] The resources occupied by PSSCH transmission are the starting subchannels in the reference RB set;

[0259] The resources occupied by PSSCH transmission are all sub-channels in the reference RB set.

[0260] Also Fig. 9 For example, in the above combination Fig. 9 Based on the example, if the PSFCH candidate resource set is determined according to the starting subchannel, the index of the PSFCH candidate resource set corresponding to the PSSCH is 3; if the PSFCH candidate resource set is determined according to all subchannels, the index of the PSFCH candidate resource set corresponding to the determined PSSCH is 3 and 7.

[0261] In addition, if the reference RB set is all RB sets corresponding to PSSCH transmission, the first number of PRBs corresponding to PSFCH transmission resources determined in different RB sets are located in the same IRB. For example, the PSFCH transmission resource adopts Common IRB and the first number of PRBs. PSSCH transmission occupies RB set#1 and RB set#2, and PSFCH transmission resource 1 and PSFCH transmission resource 2 are determined in RB set#1 and RB set#2 respectively. The first number of PRBs in PSFCH transmission resource 1 needs to be located in the same IRB (for example, IRB#1 and IRB#2), the first number of PRBs in PSFCH transmission resource 2 needs to be located in the same IRB (for example, IRB#1 and IRB#2), and the first number of PRBs in PSFCH transmission resource 1 and the first number of PRBs in PSFCH transmission resource 2 are located in the same IRB (for example, IRB#1 and IRB#2).

[0262] Further, as an optional implementation manner, determining the PSFCH candidate resource set also includes:

[0263] In the determined PSFCH candidate resource set, a target PSFCH candidate resource set that can be used for PSFCH transmission is screened. In other words, a PSFCH candidate resource set that is actually available in the PSFCH candidate resource set corresponding to the PSSCH is determined.

[0264] As a specific embodiment, when the PSFCH candidate resources include a first number of PRBs, each PSFCH candidate resource in the target PSFCH candidate resource set includes a first number of PRBs and the first number of PRBs satisfies a first condition.

[0265] Among them, as mentioned above, the first condition includes at least one of the three conditions of being located in an RB set, being located in the same IRB, and being located in consecutive PRBs in the same IRB. Specifically, consecutive PRBs located in the same IRB include: a first number of adjacent PRBs in the same IRB, or a first number of adjacent PRBs in the same IRB except for PRBs that cannot be used for PSFCH transmission.

[0266] As another specific implementation, when the PSFCH candidate resources include a second IRB, each PSFCH candidate resource in the target PSFCH candidate resource set satisfies the second condition. As mentioned above, the second condition includes any one of the following:

[0267] An IRB located in an RB set;

[0268] PRBs within an IRB in an RB set, except PRBs that cannot be used for PSFCH transmission.

[0269] As an optional implementation, in step 102, determining the target PSFCH resource includes:

[0270] The target PSFCH resource is determined from the PSFCH candidate resource set according to at least one of the following:

[0271] The number of candidate resources in the PSFCH candidate resource set;

[0272] First identification information, used to indicate the source ID of layer 1;

[0273] Second identification information; here, when the user equipment (UE) detects that the propagation type indicated in the sidelink control information (SCI) format 2-A is multicast, the second identification information is the identification of the UE; or, when the UE detects that the propagation type indicated in the SCI format 2-A is not multicast, the second identification information is a first value, for example, the first value is 0.

[0274] PSFCH index information; here, the PSFCH index information indicates the PSFCH number corresponding to the PSSCH;

[0275] Timeslot information, indicating the timeslot index of the PSSCH resource in the PSSCH period corresponding to the PSFCH;

[0276] The number of PSFCH transmission multiplexing supported by a single PSFCH candidate resource; for example, the number of cyclic shift pairs, the number of cyclic shift hoopings, or the number of PRB-level cyclic shifts supported by a single PSFCH candidate resource;

[0277] RB set information: refers to RB set index information, and the RB set refers to the RB set where the PSFCH candidate resource is located.

[0278] The determination process of this optional implementation method can be implemented according to any of the following formulas:

[0279] PSFCH_index=(K+M)Mod(L1*Y);

[0280] PSFCH_index=(K+M+I)Mod(L1*Y);

[0281] PSFCH_index=(K+M)Mode(L2);

[0282] PSFCH_index=(K+M+I)Mod(L2);

[0283] in:

[0284] L1 represents the number of candidate frequency domain resources in the PSFCH candidate frequency domain resource set corresponding to the PSSCH transmission;

[0285] L2 represents the number of candidate resources in the PSFCH candidate resource set corresponding to the PSSCH transmission;

[0286] Y represents the number of PSFCH transmission multiplexing (or the number of cyclic shift pairs) that can be supported by a single PSFCH candidate frequency domain resource;

[0287] K represents the aforementioned first quantity;

[0288] M represents the number of PRBs between two adjacent PRBs in the same IRB, where M is determined by the subcarrier spacing;

[0289] I indicates which PSFCH the PSFCH is corresponding to the PSSCH, that is, I is the PSFCH index information.

[0290] Here, it should be noted that when the structure of the PSFCH resource is the first IRB and the first number of PRBs, the target PSFCH resource determined in this optional implementation method may be the first number of PRBs, and the PSFCH candidate resource set is a set of first PSFCH candidate frequency domains that meet the conditions. On this basis, it is necessary to further determine the Common IRB, wherein the method for determining the Common IRB is: the Common IRB that is located in the same RB set as the determined first number of PRBs is the Common IRB in the PSFCH transmission resource corresponding to the PSSCH transmission, or the Common IRB predefined in the resource pool is the Common IRB to be determined; in addition, in this optional implementation method, the target PSFCH resource determined may be a complete PSFCH resource (including the Common IRB and the first PSFCH candidate resource) corresponding to a single PSFCH transmission, and the PSFCH candidate resource set is a set of complete PSFCH resources corresponding to a single PSFCH transmission.

[0291] As an example, Fig. 9 For example, in the above combination Fig. 9Based on the example, the UE determines the actual transmission resource according to (K+M)Mod 8, and the final transmission resource is the DedicatedPRB that needs to be occupied by the PSFCH transmission numbered 7. The actual transmission also needs to occupy the Common IRB, such as IRB#2, and the Common IRB and Dedicated PRB are in the same RB set. Among them,

[0292] As another example, Fig.11 For example, in the above combination Fig.11 Based on the example, the UE can determine the actual transmission resources (target PSFCH resources) according to (K+M)Mod 10.
