Abstract

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of communications, particularly to a feedback information transmission method. The method comprises: sending, by a first terminal, a sidelink hybrid auto repeat request ACK (HARQ-ACK) codebook via a physical uplink channel within a target time unit for sending sidelink HARQ-ACK information within the target time unit, the sidelink HARQ-ACK codebook including sidelink HARQ-ACK information corresponding to at least one sidelink data.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A feedback information transmission method, comprising:
generating, by a first terminal, a sidelink hybrid auto repeat request ACK (HARQ-ACK codebook based on a time domain position of a resource pool of a sidelink channel and a first time-interval set, wherein the sidelink channel includes a physical sidelink shared channel PSSCH) and a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH); and
sending, by a first terminal, the sidelink HARQ-ACK codebook via a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) within a target time unit for sending sidelink HARQ-ACK information corresponding to at least one sidelink data, wherein the sidelink HARQ-ACK codebook includes the sidelink HARQ-ACK information,
wherein the sidelink HARQ-ACK information is configured to indicate a receiving state corresponding to the sidelink data, and the sidelink data is physical layer data sent by the first terminal via a sidelink, and
wherein the method further comprises:
receiving the first time-interval set configured via higher layer signaling, wherein the first time-interval set includes a set of offsets k i between a first time slot where an end symbol of the sidelink channel is located and a second time slot where the sidelink HARQ-ACK codebook is fed back, both i and k i being positive integers.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
sending, by the first terminal, a target HARQ-ACK feedback codebook via the PUCCH or the PUSCH within the target time unit for sending the uplink HARQ-ACK information in addition to the sending of the sidelink HARQ-ACK information within the target time unit for sending the sidelink HARQ-ACK information, wherein the target HARQ-ACK feedback codebook includes an uplink HARQ-ACK codebook and the sidelink HARQ-ACK codebook,
wherein the uplink HARQ-ACK codebook comprises uplink HARQ-ACK information corresponding to at least one downlink data.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein before sending, by the first terminal, the target HARQ-ACK feedback codebook via the PUCCH or the PUSCH within the target time unit for sending the uplink HARQ-ACK information, the method further comprises:
generating, by the first terminal, the uplink HARQ-ACK codebook;
the generating of, by the first terminal, the sidelink HARQ-ACK codebook; and
combining, by the first terminal, the uplink HARQ-ACK codebook and the sidelink HARQ-ACK codebook to obtain the target HARQ-ACK feedback codebook.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein said combining, by the first terminal, the uplink HARQ-ACK codebook and the sidelink HARQ-ACK codebook to obtain the target HARQ-ACK feedback codebook comprises:
combining, by the first terminal, the uplink HARQ-ACK codebook and the sidelink HARQ-ACK codebook in a predetermined order to obtain the target HARQ-ACK feedback codebook,
wherein a codebook type corresponding to the uplink HARQ-ACK codebook and a codebook type corresponding to the sidelink HARQ-ACK codebook are both semi-static HARQ-ACK.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the predetermined order includes:
an order that the sidelink HARQ-ACK codebook is sorted before the uplink HARQ-ACK codebook; or
an order that the uplink HARQ-ACK codebook is sorted before the sidelink HARQ-ACK codebook.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said generating, by the first terminal, the sidelink HARQ-ACK codebook based on the time domain position of the resource pool of the sidelink channel comprises:
traversing a plurality of resource pools of the first terminal, and generating, for each of the resource pools, sidelink HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the resource pool based on the time domain position of the sidelink channel in the resource pool; and
sorting sidelink HARQ-ACK information respectively corresponding to the plurality of the resource pools in an ascending order of indexes of the resource pools, to obtain the sidelink HARQ-ACK codebook.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:
traversing the set of offsets k i in the first time-interval set, and determining, for the first time slot, a number of the PSSCHs that are allowed to be sent in the first time slot; and
for each of a plurality of resource pools of the first terminal, based on the number of the PSSCHs that are allowed to be sent in the first time slot determining a number of bits of sidelink HARQ-ACK information generated in correspondence to each of a plurality of time slots of the resource pool.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the method further comprises:
determining whether the first time slot is a possible time domain position for the sidelink channel, based on time domain resource information of the sidelink channel in the resource pool; and
in response to the first time slot being determined to be the possible time domain position for the sidelink channel, performing a determination on the number of bits of the sidelink HARQ-ACK information generated in correspondence to each of the plurality of time slots of the resource pool based on the number of the PSSCHs that are allowed to be sent in the first time slot.

9. The method according to claim 7 , wherein said determining the number of bits of the sidelink HARQ-ACK information generated in correspondence to each of the plurality of time slots of the resource pool based on the number of the PSSCHs that are allowed to be sent in the first time slot comprises:
in response to the number of the PSSCHs that are allowed to be sent in the first time slot being one, determining that the number of bits of the sidelink HARQ-ACK information generated in correspondence to each of the plurality of time slots of the resource pool is one; and
in response to the number the PSSCHs that are allowed to be sent in the first time slot being greater than one, determining that the number of bits of the sidelink HARQ-ACK information generated in correspondence to each of the plurality of time slots of the resource pool is at most P, wherein P is a number of sidelink channels accommodable in one time slot at a minimum resource granularity in time domain configured by the higher layer signaling to send the sidelink channels in configuring the resource pool.
