Abstract

A resource determining method includes obtaining, by a terminal device, resource information, determining, by the terminal device, a first resource jointly reserved by N services, where N is greater than or equal to 2, and determining whether to use the first resource as a candidate resource based on signal strength thresholds of the N services and signal strength of the N services.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A resource determining method implemented by a first terminal device, wherein the resource determining method comprises:
receiving, from a plurality of second terminal devices, first resource information of a first service and second resource information of a second service, wherein each of the first resource information and the second resource information comprises information of a first resource, wherein the first resource is jointly reserved by the first service and the second service;
either:
determining, based on the first resource information and the second resource information, a first signal strength threshold corresponding to the first service, a first signal strength of the first resource information, and a first candidate resource set for determining a resource for transmission, wherein the first candidate resource set does not comprise the first resource when the first signal strength is greater than the first signal strength threshold; or
determining, based on the first resource information and the second resource information, a second signal strength threshold corresponding to the second service, a second signal strength of the second resource information, and a second candidate resource set, wherein the second candidate resource set does not comprise the first resource when the second signal strength is greater than the second signal strength threshold; and

determining the second signal strength threshold based on first priority information of the first service and second priority information of the second service.

2. The resource determining method of claim 1 , wherein the first resource information comprises first priority information of the first service, and wherein the second resource information comprises second priority information of the second service.

3. The resource determining method of claim 1 , wherein the information of the first resource comprises at least one of:
an index of the first resource; or
time-frequency location information of the first resource.

4. The resource determining method of claim 1 , further comprising further determining the first signal strength threshold based on first priority information of the first service and second priority information of the second service.

5. The resource determining method of claim 1 , wherein the first signal strength threshold comprises at least one of the following: a signal strength threshold of a service with a highest priority in the first service and the second service; a signal strength threshold of a service with a smallest difference between a signal strength threshold and signal strength in the first service and the second service; or a minimum signal strength threshold in signal strength thresholds of the first service and the second service.

6. The resource determining method of claim 1 , wherein the second signal strength threshold comprises at least one of the following: a signal strength threshold of a service with a highest priority in the first service and the second service; a signal strength threshold of a service with a smallest difference between a signal strength threshold and signal strength in the first service and the second service; or a minimum signal strength threshold in signal strength thresholds of the first service and the second service.

7. The resource determining method of claim 1 , wherein the first service and the second service are sidelink transmission services.

8. A first terminal device comprising:
a memory configured to store instructions; and
a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to cause the first terminal device to:
receive, from a plurality of second terminal devices, first resource information of a first service and second resource information of a second service, wherein each of the first resource information and the second resource information comprises information of a first resource, wherein the first resource is jointly reserved by the first service and the second service;
either:
determine, based on the first resource information and the second resource information, a first signal strength threshold corresponding to the first service, a first signal strength of the first resource information, and a first candidate resource set for determining a resource for transmission, wherein the first candidate resource set does not comprise the first resource when the first signal strength is greater than the first signal strength threshold; or
determine, based on the first resource information and the second resource information, a second signal strength threshold corresponding to the second service, a second signal strength of the second resource information, and a second candidate resource set, wherein the second candidate resource set does not comprise the first resource when the second signal strength is greater than the second signal strength threshold; and

determine the first signal strength threshold based on first priority information of the first service and second priority information of the second service.

9. The first terminal device of claim 8 , wherein the first resource information comprises first priority information of the first service, and wherein the second resource information comprises second priority information of the second service.

10. The first terminal device of claim 8 , wherein the information of the first resource comprises at least one of:
an index of the first resource; or
time-frequency location information of the first resource.

11. The first terminal device of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the instructions to cause the first terminal device to further determine the second signal strength threshold based on first priority information of the first service and second priority information of the second service.

12. The first terminal device of claim 8 , wherein the first signal strength threshold comprises at least one of the following: a signal strength threshold of a service with a highest priority in the first service and the second service; a signal strength threshold of a service with a smallest difference between a signal strength threshold and signal strength in the first service and the second service; or a minimum signal strength threshold in signal strength thresholds of the first service and the second service.

13. The first terminal device of claim 8 , wherein the second signal strength threshold comprises at least one of the following: a signal strength threshold of a service with a highest priority in the first service and the second service; a signal strength threshold of a service with a smallest difference between a signal strength threshold and signal strength in the first service and the second service; or a minimum signal strength threshold in signal strength thresholds of the first service and the second service.

14. The first terminal device of claim 8 , wherein the first service and the second service are sidelink transmission services.

15. A computer program product comprising computer-executable instructions that are stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium and that, when executed by a processor, cause a first terminal device to:
receive, from a plurality of second terminal devices, first resource information of a first service and second resource information of a second service, wherein each of the first resource information and the second resource information comprises information of a first resource, wherein the first resource is jointly reserved by the first service and the second service;
either:
determine, based on th
