[0028] In the first aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure proposes a side link communication method, which is executed by a first terminal, and the method includes: using a first power to send a side link feedback channel PSFCH corresponding to multiple carriers, wherein there is time domain overlap between the PSFCHs of at least some carriers among the PSFCHs corresponding to the multiple carriers, and the first power is less than or equal to a pre-set first maximum transmission power.

[0029] In the above embodiment, PSFCHs corresponding to multiple carriers can be sent at the first power, so that a corresponding number of PSFCHs can be sent at an appropriate power in a carrier aggregation scenario, thereby improving the side link communication efficiency.

[0030] In combination with some embodiments of the first aspect, the PSFCHs corresponding to multiple carriers have y1 PSFCHs to be sent; the method also includes: if the total transmission power of the y1 PSFCHs to be sent is greater than a pre-set first maximum transmission power, power adjustment is performed on the y1 PSFCHs to be sent or the PSFCHs are discarded to obtain y2 PSFCHs, wherein the total transmission power of the y2 PSFCHs is the first power, and y2 is less than or equal to y1.

[0031] In the above embodiment, when the total transmit power of y1 PSFCHs to be transmitted exceeds the maximum transmit power, the power of y1 PSFCHs to be transmitted can be adjusted or dropped. This allows the terminal to transmit a corresponding number of PSFCHs at an appropriate power in a carrier aggregation scenario, thereby improving sidelink communication efficiency.

[0032] In combination with some embodiments of the first aspect, the method also includes: determining y3 PSFCHs to be sent, where y3 is greater than a first threshold; based on the priority corresponding to the PSFCH, discarding the PSFCH with the lowest priority from the y3 PSFCHs to be sent in turn, to obtain y1 PSFCHs to be sent, where y1 is less than or equal to the first threshold.

[0033] In the above embodiment, when the number of PSFCHs that the terminal needs to send exceeds a first threshold, some of the PSFCHs can be discarded. This allows the terminal to send a corresponding number of PSFCHs at an appropriate power in a carrier aggregation scenario, thereby improving sidelink communication efficiency.

[0112] FIG1 is a schematic diagram showing a communication system architecture according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0113] As shown in FIG1 , a communication system 100 includes a terminal 101 and a network device 102 .

Ordinary technicians in this field can know that with the evolution of the system architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solution proposed in the embodiment of the present disclosure is also applicable to similar technical problems.

Furthermore, multiple systems may be combined (for example, a combination of LTE or LTE-A with 5G).

[0123] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in LTE sidelink (SL) carrier aggregation (CA), if the PSCCH or PSSCH transmissions of multiple carriers overlap in the time domain, and the total transmission power of the multiple carriers exceeds the maximum transmission power determined by the terminal, that is, P CMAXThen the transmission power on the corresponding carrier with large priority value can be reduced or dropped, and the process is repeated until the total transmission power does not exceed P CMAX Among them, P CMAX It is determined by the terminal based on its own configuration. Among them, the large priority value mentioned above can be considered as the maximum priority value.

[0124] In some embodiments, for SL transmission mode 3 or 4 in LTE, if the SL transmission of the terminal on one carrier overlaps with the sidelink SL transmission on other carriers in the time domain. And the total transmit power exceeds a preset threshold. The terminal can adjust the transmit power of the SL transmission with sidelink control information (SCI). The "priority" field of the SCI can be set to the maximum value of all "priority" values ​​of the overlapping SL transmissions. In this case, the calculation of the adjustment of the SL transmit power is not specified. If the transmit power still exceeds the above-mentioned preset threshold after the power adjustment, the terminal should discard the SL transmission with the largest "priority" field in its SCI. And repeat the process on the carrier that is not discarded. When the SL transmissions that overlap in the time domain on two or more carriers have the same "priority" field value, it is not specified which SL transmission the terminal adjusts.

[0125] In some embodiments, in a scenario where a terminal in NR SL needs to feed back multiple PSFCHs simultaneously, if the number of multiple PSFCHs to be fed back is less than or equal to the maximum number supported by the terminal, and the total transmit power of the terminal is less than or equal to P CMAX Then N TX,PSFCH =N sch,T,XPS Among them, N TX,PSFCH Indicates the number of PSFCHs actually sent by the terminal, N sch,TX,PSFCH Indicates the number of PSFCHs that the terminal is expected to send. Therefore, when the number of multiple PSFCHs that need to be fed back is less than or equal to the maximum number supported by the terminal, N TX,PSFCH Should be equal to N sch,TX,PSFCH At the same time, P PSFCH,K (i) = P PSFC,Hone Among them, P PSFCH,k (i) represents the transmission power of K PSFCHs with priority i, P PSFCH,one Indicates the transmit power of a PSFCH determined by the terminal.

[0126] Among them, P PSFCH,one It can be obtained by formula 1. PSFCH,one =P 0,PSFCH +10log 10 (2μ )+α PSFCH PL ...Formula 1

[0127] Among them, P 0,PSFCH P represents the target received power, μ represents the corresponding subcarrier spacing (SCS), α is the path loss compensation coefficient, and PL represents the path loss value of the corresponding path loss (PL). PSFCH,one The unit can be dBm.

[0128] In some embodiments, if the total transmission power of the PSFCH sent by the terminal is greater than P CMAX , then we can make Among them, M i It can represent the total number of PSFCHs with priority i. K can be The maximum value of . Among them, i is the priority value, the smaller the priority value, the higher the priority. It can be determined that the sum of the transmission powers of multiple PSFCHs with priority values ​​less than or equal to i needs to be less than or equal to P CMAX In the case of the maximum number of PSFCH, the priority value is the K mentioned above. In this case, N can be determined according to the implementation of the terminal. TX,PSFCH The value of P PSFCH,K (i) = min(P CMAX -10log 10 (N TX,PSFCH ), P PSFCH,one ).

[0129] It is understandable that This situation mainly corresponds to the situation where the number of transmitted PSFCHs exceeds the maximum number supported by the terminal when the priority value is less than or equal to K+1, and the number of transmitted PSFCHs does not exceed the maximum number supported by the terminal when the priority value is less than or equal to K. However, in fact, among multiple PSFCHs with a priority value of K+1, the terminal can still transmit some of them and the number of transmitted PSFCHs does not exceed the maximum number supported by the terminal.

[0130] In some embodiments, the number of multiple PSFCHs that need feedback is greater than the maximum number supported by the terminal, and the total transmit power of the terminal is less than or equal to P CMAX . The difference from the above embodiment is that N TX,PSFCH =N MAX,PSFCH Among them, N MAX,PSFCH Indicates the maximum number of PSFCHs supported by the terminal.

[0131] In some embodiments, PSFCH feedback is performed on a terminal at the same time. It is possible to provide feedback to multiple resource pools at the same time. Some resources in a resource pool can be used for PSFCH. The power control parameters for PSFCH can be located in a specific field. For example, the specific field can be SL-ResourcePoolIE. Therefore, it can be considered to be configured for each resource pool. Among them, multiple resource pools with overlapping PSFCH resources are fixed, and the power control parameters in these resource pools are configured to the same value.

[0132] For example, you can refer to the following configuration:

[0133] In some embodiments, in the NR SL CA scenario, if PSFCHs of different carriers overlap, it is also necessary to consider how to power control the PSFCHs. Of course, the number of PSFCHs to be sent can also be determined.

[0134] In some embodiments, the power control parameters of different carriers may be configured to different values.

[0135] FIG2 is a schematic diagram illustrating an interaction of a side link communication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2 , the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a side link communication method for a communication system 100, the method comprising:

[0136] Step S2101: The first terminal determines the PSFCH to be sent and adjusts the PSFCH to be sent.

[0137] In some embodiments, the first terminal may determine a number of PSFCHs to be transmitted and a transmit power required to transmit the number of PSFCHs. The first terminal may determine whether to adjust the PSFCHs to be transmitted and how to adjust the PSFCHs to be transmitted based on the relationship between the number of PSFCHs to be transmitted, the transmit power, and the maximum number of transmit PSFCHs and the maximum transmit power supported by the terminal.

[0138] In some embodiments, the multiple PSFCHs that the terminal needs to send are PSFCHs corresponding to multiple carriers.

[0139] In some embodiments, among the PSFCHs corresponding to multiple carriers that the terminal needs to send, there is time domain overlap between the PSFCHs of at least some carriers.

[0140] For example, assuming that the terminal needs to send PSFCHs corresponding to five carriers, the PSFCHs corresponding to any two, three, four, or five carriers overlap in the time domain.

[0141] In some embodiments, the number of the multiple PSFCHs that the terminal needs to send may be y1, where y1 is less than or equal to the maximum number of PSFCHs that the terminal is allowed to send.

[0142] In some embodiments, the number of the multiple PSFCHs that the terminal needs to send may be y3, where y3 is greater than the maximum number of PSFCHs that the terminal is allowed to send.

[0143] In some embodiments, the PSFCH that the first terminal needs to send may be PSFCHs corresponding to multiple carriers.

[0144] In some embodiments, the first terminal may be the terminal 101 mentioned above.

[0145] In some embodiments, the first terminal needs to transmit y3 PSFCHs. The first terminal may discard the PSFCHs with the lowest priorities from the y3 PSFCHs to be transmitted, based on the priorities of the PSFCHs, to obtain y1 PSFCHs to be transmitted. Here, y3 is greater than a first threshold, and y1 is less than or equal to the first threshold.

[0146] For example, assume y3 is 10 and the first threshold is 8. The first terminal can then determine the lowest-priority PSFCH among the 10 PSFCHs and discard it. Nine PSFCHs remain, still greater than the first threshold. The first terminal can then determine the lowest-priority PSFCH among the remaining nine PSFCHs and discard it. The remaining eight PSFCHs equal the first threshold. The first terminal then stops discarding PSFCHs. At this point, y1 is 8.

[0147] In some embodiments, the first threshold may represent the maximum number of PSFCHs supported by the terminal. For example, it may be recorded as N MAX,PSFCH .

[0148] In some embodiments, the first threshold may be determined by the terminal based on its own terminal capabilities. For example, the terminal may determine the maximum number of PSFCHs supported for transmission based on current battery level, hardware configuration, software configuration, etc. Of course, the specific capabilities based on which the terminal determines the maximum number of PSFCHs supported by the terminal may be arbitrarily selected based on actual circumstances and are not limited in this disclosure.

[0149] In some embodiments, the number of PSFCHs that the first terminal needs to send is, for example, y3. MAX,PSFCH In the case of , it means that the first terminal can only send N MAX,PSFCHPSFCHs. Therefore, the first terminal needs to adjust the y3 PSFCHs. For example, the first terminal may sequentially discard the lowest-priority PSFCH from the y3 PSFCHs based on the priority of the PSFCHs. For example, the first terminal may determine the priority of the corresponding PSFCH based on the priority value of the transmitted PSFCH. A larger priority value indicates a lower priority.

[0150] For example, the first terminal may preferentially discard the PSFCH with the largest priority value, and determine again whether the number of discarded PSFCHs is greater than N MAX,PSFCH . For the number of PSFCHs after discarding greater than N MAX,PSFCH In the case of N, the PSFCH with the largest priority value among the remaining PSFCHs will continue to be discarded, that is, the PSFCH with the lowest priority. MAX,PSFCH This quantity can be y1, in which case y1 can usually be equal to N MAX,PSFCH .

[0151] In some embodiments, at least one bandwidth corresponding to the transmission of the PSFCH corresponds to a second threshold value, and the sum of the second threshold values ​​corresponding to the respective bandwidths is equal to the first threshold value. Bandwidth may include at least one of a frequency band and a carrier. A frequency band may include at least one carrier. The sum of the second threshold values ​​corresponding to the respective bandwidths may be less than or equal to the first threshold value.

[0152] For example, when the bandwidth is a frequency band, a separate third threshold may be assigned to each frequency band. In this case, the third threshold is equal to the upper second threshold. The sum of the third thresholds corresponding to each frequency band may be less than or equal to the first threshold.

[0153] For another example, when bandwidth is a carrier, a separate fourth threshold may be assigned to each carrier. In this case, the fourth threshold is equal to the upper second threshold. The sum of the fourth thresholds corresponding to each carrier may be less than or equal to the first threshold.

[0154] In some embodiments, the second threshold may be a second threshold corresponding to the Rth bandwidth, that is, the second threshold may be the maximum number of PSFCHs corresponding to the Rth bandwidth. R is a positive integer. The maximum number of PSFCHs corresponding to the Rth bandwidth represents the maximum number of PSFCHs allowed to be transmitted on the Rth bandwidth.

[0155] In some embodiments, the first terminal may make adjustments for different bandwidths respectively.

[0156] For example, for the Rth bandwidth, the first terminal discards the lowest-priority PSFCHs from the PSFCHs to be transmitted corresponding to the Rth bandwidth in order of priority. This continues until the number of PSFCHs corresponding to the Rth bandwidth is less than or equal to the maximum number of PSFCHs corresponding to the Rth bandwidth. The number of PSFCHs for the Rth bandwidth after PSFCH adjustment can be referred to as y4. That is, there are y4 PSFCHs to be transmitted corresponding to the Rth bandwidth.

[0157] For example, for the Rth bandwidth, the first terminal discards the PSFCH with the lowest priority from the PSFCHs corresponding to the Rth bandwidth according to the priority corresponding to the PSFCHs. Then, the first terminal determines again based on the remaining PSFCHs whether the number of PSFCHs corresponding to the Rth bandwidth is less than or equal to the maximum number of PSFCHs corresponding to the Rth bandwidth. If the number of PSFCHs corresponding to the Rth bandwidth is still greater than the maximum number of PSFCHs corresponding to the Rth bandwidth, the PSFCH with the lowest priority among the remaining PSFCHs will continue to be discarded until the number of PSFCHs corresponding to the Rth bandwidth is less than or equal to the maximum number of PSFCHs corresponding to the Rth bandwidth.

[0158] In some embodiments, in the entire bandwidth occupied by sending PSFCH, the sum of y4 corresponding to each bandwidth should be equal to y1.

[0159] In some embodiments, the number of PSFCHs that the terminal needs to send is less than or equal to N MAX,PSFCH In this case, y1 can be equal to the number of PSFCHs corresponding to multiple carriers that the terminal needs to send.

[0160] In some embodiments, the number of PSFCHs that the terminal needs to send is greater than N MAX,PSFCH In this case, y1 can be equal to N MAX,PSFCH .

[0161] In some embodiments, different frequency bands may have their own corresponding N MAX,PSFCH , which can be recorded as N MAX,PSFCH,f . N MAX,PSFCH,f It can be expressed as N corresponding to the frequency band f MAX,PSFCH .

[0162] In some embodiments, the number of PSFCHs that the first terminal needs to send is y1. In this case, since y1 is less than or equal to the first threshold, the first terminal may not adjust the PSFCH.

[0163] It can be considered that the PSFCHs corresponding to the multiple carriers sent by the first terminal have y1 PSFCHs to be sent.

[0164] In some embodiments, y1 PSFCHs to be sent can be considered to satisfy N MAX,PSFCH In this case, whether to adjust the power of y1 PSFCHs to be sent or to discard the PSFCHs can be determined based on the total transmit power of y1 PSFCHs to be sent.

[0165] In some embodiments, if the total transmit power of y1 PSFCHs to be transmitted is greater than a preset first maximum transmit power, the first terminal may perform power adjustment or PSFCH discard on the y1 PSFCHs to be transmitted, resulting in y2 PSFCHs. The total transmit power of the y2 PSFCHs may be referred to as a first power. The first power is less than or equal to the first maximum transmit power. y2 is less than or equal to y1.

[0166] It is understandable that the first maximum transmit power may be considered as the maximum transmit power pre-configured by the terminal. For example, the terminal may determine the first maximum transmit power according to its own configuration.

[0167] In some embodiments, the first maximum transmit power may be denoted as P CMAX .

[0168] For example, the total transmission power of y1 PSFCHs to be sent is greater than P CMAX In the case of , the first terminal needs to adjust the power of y1 PSFCHs to be sent or discard the PSFCHs, and then obtain y2 PSFCHs. Make the total transmission power of y2 PSFCHs less than or equal to P CMAX , thereby meeting the constraints of the sending requirements.

[0169] It is clear that P CMAX It can be the first maximum transmission power determined according to actual needs. When the terminal transmission power exceeds P CMAX It can be considered that the sending requirement is not met. CMAX It can be determined by the terminal based on its own configuration. A suitable value can be selected according to actual conditions, and this disclosure does not limit it.

[0170] In some embodiments, y2 is less than or equal to y1, and the first terminal may reduce the power and / or discard the y1 PSFCHs to be transmitted. In this case, only part of the PSFCHs may be reduced in power and / or discarded.

[0171] For example, the first terminal may reduce the power of the lowest priority PSFCH among y1 PSFCHs to be sent based on the priorities of the PSFCHs to be sent. The first terminal determines whether the total transmit power corresponding to the y1 PSFCHs to be sent after the power reduction is greater than the first maximum transmit power.

[0172] In one case, when the total transmit power corresponding to the y1 PSFCHs to be transmitted after power reduction is less than or equal to the first maximum transmit power, y2 is still equal to y1. The first terminal only reduces the power of the PSFCH with the lowest priority.

[0173] In another case, if the total transmit power corresponding to the y1 PSFCHs to be transmitted after power reduction is still greater than the first maximum transmit power, the first terminal may discard the PSFCHs for which power reduction is performed, that is, discard the PSFCH with the lowest priority among the y1 PSFCHs to be transmitted. The first terminal again determines whether the total transmit power corresponding to the remaining PSFCHs after discarding the PSFCHs is greater than the first maximum transmit power.

[0174] In one case, when the total transmit power corresponding to the remaining PSFCHs after discarding the PSFCHs is less than or equal to the first maximum transmit power, y2 is less than y1. The first terminal discards the PSFCH with the lowest priority to ensure that the total transmit power of y2 PSFCHs is less than or equal to P CMAX .

[0175] In another case, if the total transmit power corresponding to the remaining PSFCHs after discarding the PSFCHs is still greater than the first maximum transmit power, the first terminal may repeat the above process, i.e., reduce the power of or discard the PSFCH with the lowest priority from the remaining PSFCHs, until the total transmit power corresponding to the remaining PSFCHs is less than or equal to the first maximum transmit power, thereby obtaining y2 PSFCHs.

[0176] For example, for a PSFCH transmitted on a carrier, the transmission power on the carrier can be guaranteed to be the following formula. PSFCH,one,c =P 0,PSFCH,c +10log 10 (2 μ )+α PSFCH,c PL ...Formula 2

[0177] Wherein, c represents the carrier index. PSFCH,one,c It represents the transmit power value of PSFCH obtained after power control on each carrier.

[0178] In some embodiments, when there are multiple PSFCHs with the lowest priority among y1 PSFCHs to be sent, the first terminal can determine which PSFCH to reduce power and / or discard based on the terminal implementation of the first terminal itself.

[0179] For example, the first terminal determines to reduce the power of the lowest-priority PSFCH among y1 PSFCHs to be transmitted. However, there are multiple PSFCHs with the same lowest priority. The first terminal can, based on its own terminal implementation, decide to reduce the power of a particular PSFCH among the multiple lowest-priority PSFCHs. Alternatively, the first terminal can discard the PSFCH.

[0180] For another example, the first terminal determines to reduce the power of the lowest-priority PSFCH among the remaining PSFCHs to be transmitted after PSFCH discard. However, there are multiple PSFCHs with the same lowest priority. The first terminal may determine to reduce the power of a particular PSFCH among the multiple lowest-priority PSFCHs based on its own terminal implementation. Of course, the first terminal may also discard the PSFCH.

[0181] Of course, the specific terminal implementation may be a preset rule pre-stored in the terminal, or determined by the terminal based on its own power, hardware conditions, and software conditions. The present disclosure does not limit the specific implementation of the terminal.

[0182] In some embodiments, the first terminal does not perform power reduction and / or discard on the PSFCH corresponding to the primary carrier or the default carrier.

[0183] For example, when the terminal determines to reduce the power of the lowest priority PSFCH among y1 PSFCHs to be sent, but the lowest priority PSFCH is sent on the primary carrier or the default carrier, the first terminal does not reduce the power and / or discard the PSFCH.

[0184] Of course, the primary carrier or the default carrier may be pre-configured, and which carriers are the primary carrier and which carriers are the default carrier may be defined according to actual conditions, which is not specifically limited in the present disclosure.

[0185] In some embodiments, y2 is equal to y1, and the first terminal may reduce the power of all PSFCHs among the y1 PSFCHs to be transmitted. In this case, the number of PSFCHs will not be changed, but the power of all PSFCHs will be reduced.

[0186] In some embodiments, power adjustment may be performed independently for each carrier, mainly taking into account that power control parameters configured by resource pool network devices or pre-configured by terminals on different carriers are different.

[0187] In some embodiments, the total transmit power of the PSFCH corresponding to the xth carrier may be determined based on the number of PSFCHs corresponding to the xth carrier and the PSFCH transmit power corresponding to the xth carrier, where x is a positive integer. The PSFCH transmit power corresponding to the xth carrier represents the transmit power of a single PSFCH on the xth carrier.

[0188] For example, the P corresponding to each PSFCH in each carrier PSFCH,one,c It can be determined by referring to Formula 2. The total transmit power of the PSFCH corresponding to the x-th carrier can be determined by referring to Formula 3.

[0189] Among them, if N sch,TX,PSFCH,c =0, then a c =0; in other cases, a c =1. That is, when there is no PSFCH to be sent on a carrier, the transmit power on the carrier is 0. In other cases, the transmit power on the carrier can be equal to the logarithm of the number of PSFCHs sent on the carrier multiplied by 10, and the value is P PSFCH,one,c (dBm) and. C represents the number of all carriers. The PSFCH in each carrier is calculated according to P PSFCH,one,c to send.

[0190] In some embodiments, when the terminal performs power reduction on all PSFCHs in the y1 PSFCHs to be transmitted, the terminal may determine whether the power reduction is satisfied according to the terminal's own implementation before performing power reduction. N TX,PSFCH .

[0191] in, M i,c Expressed as each carrier so that the total power is less than or equal to P CMAX The number of PSFCHs of corresponding priority.

[0192] In some embodiments, the PSFCH transmit power corresponding to the xth carrier is determined based on a first PSFCH transmit power and a second PSFCH transmit power. The first PSFCH transmit power indicates the transmit power of a single PSFCH on the xth carrier determined by the terminal; the second PSFCH transmit power indicates the configured transmit power of a single PSFCH on the xth carrier. The first PSFCH transmit power is determined based on the second PSFCH transmit power, the total transmit power of the PSFCHs corresponding to the xth carrier, and the first maximum transmit power. The second PSFCH transmit power is configured by the network device or pre-configured by the terminal.

[0193] In some embodiments, the first PSFCH transmission power is the transmission power of a single PSFCH actually transmitted by the first terminal.

[0194] For example, the PSFCH transmission power corresponding to the xth carrier can be recorded as P PSFCH,K (i) represents the transmit power corresponding to each PSFCH with a priority value within K on the x-th carrier.

[0195] Among them, P PSFCH,K (i) can be determined according to formula 4. PSFCH,K (i) = min(P new , P PSFCH,one,c )...Formula 4

[0196] Among them, P new That is the first PSFCH transmission power mentioned above, P PSFCH,one,c That is the second PSFCH transmission power mentioned above. new It can be determined by formula 5.

[0197] In some embodiments, for M i = 0, which means that for the current carrier, the total transmission power corresponding to all PSFCHs with the highest priority is also greater than P CMAX , it is impossible to send multiple PSFCHs simultaneously. Therefore, for this carrier, only P PSFCH,one,c ≤P CMAX That is, when sending PSFCH alone, ensure that the transmission power of PSFCH is less than or equal to P CMAX .

[0198] Therefore, it can be considered that the first PSFCH transmit power represents the transmit power of the PSFCH corresponding to the xth carrier determined by the terminal. CMAX In the case of P new Usually less than P PSFCH,one,c; When the total transmission power of the PSFCH corresponding to the xth carrier is less than P CMAX In the case of P new Usually greater than P PSFCH,one,c .

[0199] In some embodiments, if the total transmission power of the PSFCH to be sent corresponding to the Rth bandwidth is greater than the second maximum transmission power corresponding to the Rth bandwidth, the PSFCH to be sent corresponding to the Rth bandwidth is power adjusted or the PSFCH is discarded.

[0200] Among them, in all bandwidths occupied by sending PSFCH, the sum of the second maximum transmission power corresponding to each bandwidth is equal to the first maximum transmission power.

[0201] It is understood that the second maximum transmit power can be considered the maximum transmit power corresponding to the Rth bandwidth. This indicates the maximum transmit power allowed by the first terminal in the Rth bandwidth. When the first terminal determines that the total transmit power of the PSFCH to be transmitted corresponding to the Rth bandwidth exceeds the second maximum transmit power corresponding to the bandwidth, the first terminal may adjust the power of the PSFCH to be transmitted corresponding to the bandwidth or discard the PSFCH. For example, this may involve power reduction or discarding some PSFCHs in the Rth bandwidth.

[0202] In some embodiments, the second maximum transmit power may be configured based on higher layer signaling.

[0203] In some embodiments, the second maximum transmit power may be determined based on the total transmit power of the PSFCHs to be transmitted corresponding to all bandwidths, the total transmit power of the PSFCHs to be transmitted corresponding to the Rth bandwidth, and the maximum transmit power.

[0204] The total bandwidth corresponds to the total transmission power of the PSFCH to be sent, indicating the total transmission power required for all PSFCHs that the first terminal needs to send.

[0205] The Rth bandwidth corresponds to the total transmission power of the PSFCH to be sent, indicating the total transmission power required by the first terminal for all PSFCHs to be sent on the Rth bandwidth.

[0206] For example, the second maximum transmit power can be determined by Formula 6.

[0207] Among them, f represents different frequency bands, P PSFCH,one,f,c It is expressed as the power control parameter of the corresponding carrier on different frequency bands. sch,TX,PSFCH,f,c It is expressed as the number of PSFCHs transmitted on each carrier in different frequency bands. min Indicates the minimum value of the carrier index on the frequency band, f maxIndicates the maximum value of the carrier index on the frequency band. sch,TX,PSFCH,f,c =0, then a f,c =0; in other cases, a f,c =1.

[0208] In some embodiments, the total transmit power of the PSFCH corresponding to the Wth frequency band is determined based on the total transmit power of the PSFCH corresponding to each carrier in the Wth frequency band, where W is a positive integer.

[0209] In some embodiments, the first terminal may further discard all PSFCHs to be sent on a specific carrier, where the specific carrier may be a carrier in the Wth frequency band that meets the first condition.

[0210] In some embodiments, the first condition includes a simultaneous transmission multiple carrier restriction.

[0211] For example, assuming that the simultaneous transmission of multiple carriers is limited to a maximum of 6 carriers, but the first terminal needs to simultaneously transmit 8 carriers, which is more than the requirement of the simultaneous transmission of multiple carriers, the first terminal needs to discard the PSFCH corresponding to the specific carrier.

[0212] For example, the terminal may select carriers as specific carriers based on the priority of sending PSFCHs on the carriers, and discard the PSFCHs corresponding to the specific carriers.

[0213] For example, if there is only one carrier with the lowest PSFCH priority, this carrier can be used as a special carrier and the PSFCH corresponding to this special carrier is discarded. Then, based on the remaining carriers, it is determined whether the number of carriers required to transmit simultaneously is less than or equal to six.

[0214] For example, if there are multiple carriers with the lowest PSFCH priority, all of these carriers can be designated as special carriers. The PSFCHs corresponding to these special carriers are discarded. Subsequently, a determination is made based on the remaining carriers to determine whether the number of carriers required to transmit simultaneously is less than or equal to six.

[0215] For example, if there are multiple carriers with the lowest PSFCH priority, the terminal can determine which carriers corresponding to the PSFCHs are designated as specific carriers based on its own implementation. The terminal then discards the PSFCHs corresponding to these specific carriers. The terminal then determines whether the number of carriers with the remaining carriers is less than or equal to the requirement of transmitting six carriers simultaneously.

[0216] In the above example, if the remaining carriers are still greater than the requirement for simultaneously transmitting six carriers, the first terminal continues to use one or more of the above methods to determine a specific carrier based on the remaining carriers and discards the PSFCH corresponding to the specific carrier until the remaining carriers are less than or equal to the requirement for simultaneously transmitting six carriers.

[0217] In some embodiments, when the first condition includes a restriction on sending multiple carriers simultaneously, the first terminal may discard all PSFCHs corresponding to the carrier with the lowest priority of the PSFCH to be sent, starting from the Wth frequency band, according to the priority of the PSFCHs to be sent in the carriers, until the number of carriers in the Wth frequency band is less than or equal to the number of carriers for which the multiple carriers to be sent simultaneously are restricted.

[0218] For example, the first terminal may determine the PSFCH with the lowest priority among all PSFCHs to be sent on all carriers, and discard all PSFCHs in the carrier corresponding to the PSFCH. The first terminal determines whether it is less than or equal to the number of carriers limited to sending multiple carriers simultaneously based on the remaining carriers. When the remaining carriers are still greater than the number of carriers limited to sending multiple carriers simultaneously, the first terminal determines the carrier corresponding to the PSFCH with the lowest priority among the remaining carriers based on the remaining carriers, and discards all PSFCHs in the carrier. Until the remaining carriers are less than or equal to the number of carriers limited to sending multiple carriers simultaneously.

[0219] In some embodiments, the first condition includes a carrier combination requirement.

[0220] For example, the carrier combination requirement may be that consecutive carriers must be transmitted. Therefore, assuming that the carriers that the first terminal needs to transmit are carrier 0, carrier 2, and carrier 3, the first terminal needs to discard the PSFCH corresponding to carrier 0. This continues until the number of carriers in the Wth frequency band meets the carrier combination requirement.

[0221] For another example, the carrier combination requirement can directly limit the number of carrier combinations allowed for transmission. The terminal then needs to discard all PSFCHs corresponding to carriers other than those specified in the carrier combination requirement within the Wth frequency band until the number of carriers within the Wth frequency band meets the carrier combination requirement.

[0222] In some embodiments, the first condition includes a radio frequency retuning time limit.

[0223] For example, the RF retuning time limit can be the time limit required for carrier switching. For example, assume that the first terminal needs to switch carriers over two time slots. For two adjacent slots, such as slot 1 and slot 2, slot 1 transmits the PSFCH corresponding to carrier 0 and the PSFCH corresponding to carrier 1, while slot 2 transmits the PSFCH corresponding to carrier 0 and the PSFCH corresponding to carrier 2. Carrier 0 needs to be transmitted in both slot 1 and slot 2, and no carrier switching is involved. Therefore, the PSFCH corresponding to carrier 0 can be transmitted in slot 2. Regarding carrier 2, since the PSFCH corresponding to carrier 1 is transmitted in slot 1, a carrier switch is required in slot 2. In other words, carrier 1 must be switched to carrier 2. However, since carrier switching requires two slots, the carrier 1 to carrier 2 switch cannot be completed in slot 2. Therefore, the first terminal can only discard the PSFCH corresponding to carrier 2 in slot 2. Therefore, in slot 2, the first terminal can only transmit the PSFCH corresponding to carrier 0 and cannot transmit the PSFCH corresponding to carrier 2.

[0224] It is understood that in the above embodiments, when at least one of power reduction and discarding is performed on a PSFCH and / or intra-carrier PSFCH, after performing power reduction and / or discarding once, it is possible to determine again whether corresponding requirements are met based on the remaining PSFCHs and / or carriers. The power reduction and / or discarding can be repeated until the remaining PSFCHs and / or carriers meet the corresponding requirements.

[0225] Step S2102: The first terminal sends PSFCHs corresponding to multiple carriers to the second terminal using a first power.

[0226] In some embodiments, the first terminal sends PSFCHs corresponding to multiple carriers to the second terminal using a first power.

[0227] In some embodiments, the second terminal receives a PSFCH corresponding to multiple carriers transmitted using a first power.

[0228] In some embodiments, the first terminal uses the second power to send a PSFCH corresponding to a different bandwidth to the second terminal.

[0229] In some embodiments, the second terminal receives a PSFCH corresponding to a different bandwidth transmitted using a second power.

[0230] The sum of the PSFCHs corresponding to the multiple bandwidths is the same as the PSFCHs corresponding to the multiple carriers transmitted and / or received using the first power. The sum of the second powers corresponding to the multiple bandwidths is equal to the first power.

[0275] FIG5 is a flow chart of another side link communication method according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG5 , the embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a side link communication method, the method comprising:

[0276] Step S5101: A first terminal sends PSFCHs corresponding to multiple carriers to a second terminal using a first power.

[0277] The optional implementation method of step S5101 can refer to the optional implementation method of step S2102 in Figure 2, the optional implementation method of step S3102 in Figure 3a, the optional implementation method of step S3201 in Figure 3b, the optional implementation method of step S4101 in Figure 4, and other related parts in the embodiment involved in Figure 2, other related parts in the embodiment involved in Figure 3a, other related parts in the embodiment involved in Figure 3b, and other related parts in the embodiment involved in Figure 4, which will not be repeated here.

[0278] Next, the present disclosure will describe the above solution with more detailed embodiments.

[0279] In some embodiments, the LTE SL CA mechanism can be reused without scaling the transmit power of all PSFCHs.

[0280] In some embodiments, the power on one carrier is guaranteed to be as shown in Formula 2.

[0281] In some embodiments, if the number of PSFCHs to be sent is greater than N MAX,PSFCH , then according to the priority value from large to small (the larger the priority value, the lower the priority), discard the corresponding number of PSFCHs, where N MAX,PSFCH The maximum number of PSFCH transmissions supported in each frequency band determined by the terminal based on its own capabilities

[0282] In some embodiments, if each band / carrier is configured with a different N MAX,PSFCHvalue, then prioritize each frequency band / carrier according to the priority value from large to small, discard the PSFCH transmission on the corresponding frequency band / carrier, and then execute the subsequent steps.

[0283] In some embodiments, if the total power of the (remaining) PSFCH transmissions on a PSFCH occasion is greater than P CMAX , the power of the PSFCH corresponding to the maximum priority value will be reduced (the difference from LTE is that LTE's PSCCH and PSSCH can only be sent one on a carrier, but PSFCH can be sent multiple on a carrier), or discarded, and the process will be repeated until the total power of the transmission does not exceed P CMAX ;

[0284] In some embodiments, for PSFCHs of the same priority, which PSFCH to power down or drop is determined based on implementation.

[0285] In some embodiments, if a primary carrier or a default carrier is configured, the current mechanism ensures that no PSFCH dropping or power reduction is performed on the primary carrier or the default carrier.

[0286] In some embodiments, refer to the power control mechanism of NR SL PSFCH (intra-band CA case, each carrier performs power control, N MAX,PSFCH Configured for each frequency band)

[0287] In some embodiments, the transmit power of all PSFCHs may be scaled. In this case, the different power control parameters in the resource pools on different carriers need to be considered. In this case, the transmit power of each PSFCH needs to consider the parameters of each carrier, such as reference formula 2 and / or formula 3.

[0288] In some embodiments, similar to the related mechanism in the above example, the UE can select the one that satisfies the requirements based on the implementation.

[0289] in, M i,c Expressed as each carrier so that the total power is less than or equal to P CMAX The sum of the number of PSFCHs of the corresponding priority. K is the maximum value of the priority value.

[0290] In some embodiments, reference may be made to Formula 4 and Formula 5.

[0291] In some embodiments, if M i = 0, then for each carrier, only P PSFCH,one,c ≤P CMAX .

[0292] In some embodiments, for a PSFCH to be sent greater than N MAX,PSFCH In the case of N, only N can be sent according to the priority MAX,PSFCH PSFCH, at this time N sch,TX,PSFCH =N MAX,PSFCH Only relevant parameters need to be replaced, and for CMAX Select N according to priority TX,PSFCH PSFCH sent.

[0293] In some embodiments, the power control mechanism of inter-band CA SL PSFCH (in this case N MAX,PSFCH is configured or defined per frequency band).

[0294] In some embodiments, the PSFCH in each frequency band is discarded first, so that the number of PSFCH transmissions in each frequency band is less than or equal to N. MAX,PSFCH,f , where f represents the corresponding frequency band. This parameter represents the maximum number of PSFCHs that a UE can transmit within each frequency band. The above process is then repeated. The total number of PSFCHs to be transmitted is the sum of all PSFCHs discarded based on the maximum number of PSFCHs that can be transmitted within each frequency band.

[0295] In some embodiments, the terminal needs to drop all PSFCH transmissions on certain carriers.

[0296] In some embodiments, the total power is allocated to each frequency band, and the P of each frequency band can be configured by a high-level layer. CMAX,f , or let P CMAX,f =Total power of the number of PSFCHs to be sent on this frequency band / total power of the number of PSFCHs to be sent on all frequency bands * P CMAX ; Then, if there is only one carrier for a frequency band, the frequency band can refer to the R16 mechanism to determine the PSFCH power and the number of transmissions, but use P CMAX,f Replace the P in the existing technology CMAX If there are multiple carriers, execute the above process, as shown in the following example: CMAX,f Please refer to Formula 6.

[0297] In some embodiments, the UE may need to discard all PSFCH transmissions on certain carriers before performing the above steps.

[0298] In some embodiments, the reason for discarding is due to limitations on multiple simultaneous transmissions, limitations on supported carrier combinations, or limitations on RF retuning time. The discarded carriers begin with the carrier with the lowest priority (highest priority value) among all corresponding PSFCH transmissions on the carrier. This process is repeated until the terminal's requirements are met. The terminal can perform the power control allocation process described above for the PSFCH transmissions on the remaining carriers.

[0299] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, each step can be implemented as an independent embodiment. Part or all of the steps and their optional implementations can be arbitrarily combined with part or all of the steps in other embodiments, or with optional implementations of other embodiments.

[0300] The embodiments of the present disclosure also provide an apparatus for implementing any of the above methods. For example, a sidelink communication apparatus is provided, comprising units or modules for implementing each step performed by the first terminal in any of the above methods. For another example, another sidelink communication apparatus is provided, comprising units or modules for implementing each step performed by the second terminal in any of the above methods.
