Abstract

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of communications, and disclosed are a resource reservation method and apparatus, a device and a storage medium. The method comprises: once LBT is successful, sending sidelink control information, wherein the sidelink control information is used to indicate N transmission resources reserved for a first transmission block, and the upper limit value of N is an integer greater than 3. Provided in the embodiments of the present application is a method for indicating transmission resources reserved by a terminal device when performing sidelink transmission on the basis of an unlicensed spectrum. Moreover, the sidelink control information sent by the terminal device may indicate more than three transmission resources, so that the reserved transmission resources may be indicated as much as possible in the sidelink control information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for resource reservation performed by a terminal device in connection with sidelink transmission on an unlicensed spectrum, the method comprising:
performing Listen Before Talk (LBT) on the unlicensed spectrum; and
sending sidelink control information after the LBT is successful, wherein the sidelink control information is used to indicate N transmission resources reserved for a first transport block, and an upper limit of N is an integer greater than 3,
wherein the sidelink control information comprises a first period field, and the first period field is used to indicate a first time-domain period between periodic transmission resource groups reserved for the first transport block, the transmission resource group comprises at least one transmission resource indicated by a time-domain resource assignment field and/or a frequency-domain resource assignment field,
wherein the sidelink control information further comprises a first period parameter field, and the first period parameter field is used to indicate the number of reserved periods of the transmission resource group, and
wherein the sidelink control information is used to indicate transmission resources reserved for M transport blocks, the M transport blocks comprise the first transport block, and M is an integer greater than 1, the sidelink control information further comprises a second period field and a second period parameter field, the second period field is used to indicate a second time-domain period between periodic transmission resource sets reserved for the M transport blocks, and the second period parameter field is used to indicate the number of reserved periods of the transmission resource set.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein,
the time-domain resource assignment field is used to indicate at least one time-domain resource position of the N transmission resources; and
the frequency-domain resource assignment field is used to indicate at least one frequency-domain resource position of the N transmission resources.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein two transmission resources with a time-domain interval of the first time-domain period in two adjacent transmission resource groups have the same frequency-domain resource position.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein two transmission resources with a time-domain interval of the second time-domain period in two adjacent transmission resource sets have the same frequency-domain resource position.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein time-domain resource positions of the N transmission resources are located within a transmission delay range of the first transport block, and data carried in the first transport block is transmitted multiple times within the transmission delay range.

6. A terminal device, comprising: a processor, and a transceiver connected to the processor; wherein:
the processor is configured to perform Listen Before Talk (LBT) on the unlicensed spectrum; and
the transceiver is configured to send sidelink control information after the LBT is successful, wherein the sidelink control information is used to indicate N transmission resources reserved for a first transport block, and an upper limit of N is an integer greater than 3,
wherein the sidelink control information comprises a first period field, and the first period field is used to indicate a first time-domain period between periodic transmission resource groups reserved for the first transport block, the transmission resource group comprises at least one transmission resource indicated by a time-domain resource assignment field and/or a frequency-domain resource assignment field,
wherein the sidelink control information further comprises a first period parameter field, and the first period parameter field is used to indicate the number of reserved periods of the transmission resource group, and
wherein the sidelink control information is used to indicate transmission resources reserved for M transport blocks, the M transport blocks comprise the first transport block, and Mis an integer greater than 1, the sidelink control information further comprises a second period field and a second period parameter field, the second period field is used to indicate a second time-domain period between periodic transmission resource sets reserved for the M transport blocks, and the second period parameter field is used to indicate the number of reserved periods of the transmission resource set.

7. The terminal device according to claim 6 , wherein,
the time-domain resource assignment field is used to indicate at least one time-domain resource position of the N transmission resources; and
the frequency-domain resource assignment field is used to indicate at least one frequency-domain resource position of the N transmission resources.
