Abstract

In an uplink information receiving method, a first terminal device receives first indication information sent by a network device, where the first indication information indicates a first uplink resource; and the first terminal device sends uplink information to the network device on a fourth uplink resource, where the fourth uplink resource is a resource other than a second uplink resource in the first uplink resource, the second uplink resource is a subset of a third uplink resource, and the third uplink resource is an intersection between a fifth uplink resource configured for a second terminal device and the first uplink resource.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a first terminal device, first indication information from a network device, wherein the first indication information indicates a first uplink resource scheduled for the first terminal device;
determining, by the first terminal device in a first time period, whether a second resource in a third uplink resource is available; and
sending, by the first terminal device, uplink information to the network device on a fourth uplink resource, wherein the fourth uplink resource is a resource in the first uplink resource other than a second uplink resource, the second uplink resource is a subset of the third uplink resource, the third uplink resource is an intersection between a fifth uplink resource and the first uplink resource, the fifth uplink resource is scheduled for a second terminal device, the second uplink resource comprises a first resource corresponding to the first time period, the second resource in the third uplink resource is after the first time period, and the second resource in the third uplink resource is comprised in the second uplink resource or the fourth uplink resource.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein determining, by the first terminal device in the first time period, whether the second resource in the third uplink resource is available comprises:
receiving, in the first time period, second indication information from the network device, wherein the second indication information indicates that the second resource in the third uplink resource is unavailable, and the second uplink resource further comprises the second resource.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein determining, by the first terminal device in the first time period, whether the second resource in the third uplink resource is available comprises:
receiving, in the first time period, second indication information from the network device, wherein the second indication information indicates that the second resource in the third uplink resource is available, and the fourth uplink resource comprises the second resource.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein determining, by the first terminal device in the first time period, whether the second resource in the third uplink resource is available comprises:
performing, in the first time period, detection on a first signal from the second terminal device, wherein:
when the first signal is detected, the second resource in the third uplink resource is unavailable and the second uplink resource further comprises the second resource in the third uplink resource; or
when the first signal is not detected, the second resource in the third uplink resource is available and the fourth uplink resource comprises the second resource after the first time period in the third uplink resource.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein:
the second uplink resource comprises a third resource in the third uplink resource, and the second terminal device sends first signals on the third resource; or
the fifth uplink resource further comprises a fourth resource, the fourth resource is before the third uplink resource, and the second terminal device sends the first signals on the fourth resource.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein:
the first signals identifies the second terminal device, and the first signals indicate the second terminal device sends uplink information on the fifth uplink resource.

7. A method, comprising:
sending, by a network device, first indication information to a first terminal device, wherein the first indication information indicates a first uplink resource scheduled for the first terminal device;
sending, in a first time period, second indication information to the first terminal device, wherein the second indication information indicates whether a second resource in a third uplink resource is available, and the second resource in the third uplink resource is after the first time period; and
receiving, on a fourth uplink resource, uplink information from the first terminal device, wherein the fourth uplink resource is a resource in the first uplink resource other than a second uplink resource, the second uplink resource is a subset of the third uplink resource, the second uplink resource comprises a first resource corresponding to the first time period, the third uplink resource is an intersection between a fifth uplink resource and the first uplink resource, and the fifth uplink resource is scheduled for a second terminal device.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the second indication information indicates the second resource in the third uplink resource is unavailable, and the second uplink resource further comprises the second resource.

9. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the second indication information indicates that the second resource in the third uplink resource is available, and the fourth uplink resource comprises the second resource.

10. An apparatus, comprising:
at least one processor; and
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to the at least one processor and storing programming instructions for execution by the at least one processor, wherein the programming instructions instruct the at least one processor to:
receive first indication information from a network device, wherein the first indication information indicates a first uplink resource scheduled for the apparatus;
determine, in a first time period, whether a second resource in a third uplink resource is available; and
send uplink information to the network device on a fourth uplink resource, wherein the fourth uplink resource is a resource in the first uplink resource other than a second uplink resource, the second uplink resource is a subset of the third uplink resource, the third uplink resource is an intersection between a fifth uplink resource and the first uplink resource, the fifth uplink resource is scheduled for a second terminal device, the second uplink resource comprises a first resource corresponding to the first time period, the second resource in the third uplink resource is after the first time period, and the second resource in the third uplink resource is comprised in the second uplink resource or the fourth uplink resource.

11. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the programming instructions further instruct the at least one processor to:
receive, in the first time period, second indication information from the network device, wherein the second indication information indicates that the second resource in the third uplink resource is unavailable, and the second uplink resource further comprises the second resource.

12. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the programming instructions instruct the at least one processor to:
receive, in the first time period, second indication information from the network device, wherein the second indication information indicates that the second resource in the third uplink resource is available, and the fourth uplink resource comprises the second resource.
