4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining, by the first terminal device and based on the control information and the at least two types of terminal information, the terminal mode that is of the second terminal device and that exists when the second terminal device sends data on the first time-frequency resource comprises:
if the control information comprises a terminal mode, determining, by the first terminal device, the terminal mode comprised in the control information as the terminal mode that is of the second terminal device and that exists when the second terminal device sends data on the first time-frequency resource; or
if the control information does not comprise the terminal mode, determining, by the first terminal device, first terminal information from the at least two types of terminal information, and determining a terminal mode comprised in the first terminal information as the terminal mode that is of the second terminal device and that exists when the second terminal device sends data on the first time-frequency resource, wherein a terminal type in the first terminal information is a first terminal type.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in the at least two types of terminal information, terminal modes in every two types of terminal information are different, and terminal types in every two types of terminal information are different, and wherein the determining, by the first terminal device and based on the control information and the at least two types of terminal information, the terminal mode that is of the second terminal device and that exists when the second terminal device sends data on the first time-frequency resource comprises:
if the control information comprises a terminal type, determining, by the first terminal device, second terminal information from the at least two types of terminal information based on the terminal type comprised in the control information, and determining a terminal mode comprised in the second terminal information as the terminal mode that is of the second terminal device and that exists when the second terminal device sends data on the first time-frequency resource, wherein a terminal type in the second terminal information is the second terminal type; or
if the control information does not comprise the terminal type, determining first terminal information from the at least two types of terminal information, and determining a terminal type comprised in the first terminal information as the terminal type that is of the second terminal device and that exists when the second terminal device sends data on the first time-frequency resource, wherein the terminal type in the first terminal information is a first terminal type.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining, by the first terminal device, the candidate time-frequency resource from the time-frequency resource in the second time period in the shared resource pool based on the signal strength corresponding to the first time-frequency resource and the terminal mode that is of the second terminal device and that exists when the second terminal device sends data on the first time-frequency resource comprises:
determining, by the first terminal device, a second time-frequency resource and a third time-frequency resource from the first time-frequency resource based on the terminal mode that is of the second terminal device and that exists when the second terminal device sends data on the first time-frequency resource, wherein a terminal mode of a terminal device that sends data on the second time-frequency resource is a first terminal mode, and a terminal mode of a terminal device that sends data on the third time-frequency resource is the second terminal mode; and
