Abstract

A control information sending method and a control information receiving method include: a transmitter determining a first frequency-domain bandwidth occupied by user data to be sent; the transmitter selecting, according to the first frequency-domain bandwidth, from n candidate frequency-domain bandwidths, a second frequency-domain bandwidth occupied by control information corresponding to the user data, wherein n is an integer greater than 1; the transmitter sending the control information to a receiver according to the second frequency-domain bandwidth; the receiver determining that the transmitter sends the n candidate frequency-domain bandwidths of the control information; and the receiver performing blind detection on the control information according to the n candidate frequency-domain bandwidths.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for sending control information in a sidelink communication, comprising:
determining, by a transmitter, a first frequency-domain bandwidth occupied by user data to be sent;
selecting, by the transmitter based on the first frequency-domain bandwidth, from a number of n candidate frequency-domain bandwidths, a second frequency-domain bandwidth occupied by control information corresponding to the user data, wherein n is an integer greater than 1; and
sending, by the transmitter based on the second frequency-domain bandwidth, the control information to a receiver.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second frequency-domain bandwidth is a candidate frequency-domain bandwidth closest to the first frequency-domain bandwidth among the n candidate frequency-domain bandwidths.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second frequency-domain bandwidth is a candidate frequency-domain bandwidth that is not greater than the first frequency-domain bandwidth among the n candidate frequency-domain bandwidths.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the second frequency-domain bandwidth is a candidate frequency-domain bandwidth closest to the first frequency-domain bandwidth among the candidate frequency-domain bandwidths that are not greater than the first frequency-domain bandwidth.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the sending, by the transmitter based on the second frequency-domain bandwidth, the control information to the receiver comprises:
determining, by the transmitter based on a first frequency-domain position occupied by the user data and the second frequency-domain bandwidth, a second frequency-domain position occupied by the control information, wherein the second frequency-domain position overlaps with the first frequency-domain position; and
sending, by the transmitter by occupying frequency-domain resources at the second frequency-domain position, the control information to the receiver.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the control information comprises indication information configured to indicate the first frequency-domain bandwidth occupied by the user data.

7. A method for receiving control information in sidelink communication, comprising:
determining, by a receiver, a number of n candidate frequency-domain bandwidths for a transmitter to send control information, wherein a second frequency-domain bandwidth occupied by the control information in sending of the control information is one of the n candidate frequency-domain bandwidths, and n is an integer greater than 1; and
performing, by the receiver based on the n candidate frequency-domain bandwidths, blind detection on the control information.

8. The method according to claim 7 , further comprising:
determining, by the receiver based on the detected control information, a first frequency-domain bandwidth occupied by user data corresponding to the control information in sending of the user data,
wherein the control information comprises indication information configured to indicate the first frequency-domain bandwidth occupied by the user data; and

receiving, by the receiver, the user data in the first frequency-domain bandwidth.

9. A device for sending control information in sidelink communication, which is applied to a transmitter and comprises:
a processor; and
a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor,
wherein the processor is configured to:
determine a first frequency-domain bandwidth occupied by user data to be sent;
select, based on the first frequency-domain bandwidth, from a number of n candidate frequency-domain bandwidths, a second frequency-domain bandwidth occupied by control information corresponding to the user data, wherein n is an integer greater than 1; and
send the control information to a receiver based on the second frequency-domain bandwidth.

10. A device implementing the method according claim 7 , comprising:
a processor; and
a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor,
wherein the processor is configured to implement steps of the method.

11. A communication system implementing the method according to claim 1 , comprising the transmitter, wherein the second frequency-domain bandwidth occupied by the control information is selected from the number of n candidate frequency-domain band widths with n being a pre-set limited number, to limit frequency-domain positions that are capable of being occupied by the control information, thereby reducing complexity of blind detection on the control information by the receiver.

12. The communication system according to claim 11 , further comprising the receiver, wherein the receiver is configured to:
determine the number of n candidate frequency-domain bandwidths for the transmitter to send control information,
wherein the second frequency-domain bandwidth occupied by the control information in sending of the control information is one of the n candidate frequency-domain bandwidths; and

perform the blind detection on the control information based on the n candidate frequency-domain bandwidths.

13. The communication system according to claim 12 , wherein the receiver is further configured to:
determine, based on the detected control information, the first frequency-domain bandwidth occupied by the user data corresponding to the control information in sending of the user data,
wherein the control information comprises indication information configured to indicate the first frequency-domain bandwidth occupied by the user data; and

receive the user data in the first frequency-domain bandwidth.

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon for execution by a processing circuit to implement the method according to claim 1 .

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon for execution by a processing circuit to implement the method according to claim 7 .
