Abstract

A resource configuration method for a short-range communications field includes obtaining at least one resource parameter; determining a first time-frequency resource based on the at least one resource parameter; and sending at least one piece of resource configuration information to at least one second terminal device. The at least one piece of resource configuration information is used to configure at least one second time-frequency resource used for the at least one second terminal device, and the at least one second time-frequency resource belongs to the first time-frequency resource.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A resource configuration method implemented by a first terminal device, wherein the resource configuration method comprises:
obtaining a resource parameter from a first resource parameter set, wherein the first resource parameter set comprises a plurality of resource parameters corresponding to at least one of a plurality of pieces of capability information of the first terminal device or a plurality of device types of the first terminal device, and wherein the resource parameter is preconfigured; determining a first time-frequency resource based on the resource parameter; and sending a piece of resource configuration information to at least one second terminal device, wherein the piece of resource configuration information configures a second time-frequency resource that is used for the at least one second terminal device, and wherein the second time-frequency resource belongs to the first time-frequency resource.

2 . The resource configuration method of claim 1 , wherein the resource parameter corresponds to capability information of the first terminal device, corresponds to a device type of the first terminal device, or corresponds to the capability information of the first terminal device and the device type of the first terminal device.

3 . The resource configuration method of claim 2 , wherein the capability information comprises at least one of:
identity information of the first terminal device, wherein the identity information indicates that the first terminal device has a resource allocation or scheduling capability; type information of a communication domain of the first terminal device; or priority information of the communication domain.

4 . The resource configuration method of claim 1 , wherein the resource parameter comprises at least one of a channel occupancy ratio information, modulation and coding scheme information, resource cycle information, or resource duration information.

5 . The resource configuration method of claim 2 , further comprising sending at least one of first resource indication information, the capability information of the first terminal device, or information about the device type of the first terminal device, wherein the first resource indication information indicates the first time-frequency resource.

6 . A communication method implemented by a first terminal device, wherein the communication method comprises:
receiving first resource configuration information from a second terminal device; obtaining second resource configuration information corresponding to a first resource pool, wherein the second resource configuration information is preconfigured; and initiating a connection setup request to the second terminal device based on the first resource configuration information and the second resource configuration information, or disconnecting a connection to the second terminal device based on the first resource configuration information and the second resource configuration information.

7 . The communication method of claim 6 , wherein the first resource configuration information comprises at least one of first channel busy ratio information, first modulation and coding scheme information, or first resource quantity information, and wherein the second resource configuration information comprises at least one of second channel busy ratio information, second modulation and coding scheme information, or second resource quantity information.

8 . The communication method of claim 7 , wherein disconnecting the connection to the second terminal device further comprises:
disconnecting the connection to the second terminal device based on a determination that a first channel load ratio indicated by the first channel busy ratio information is greater than or greater than or equal to a second channel load ratio indicated by the second channel busy ratio information; or disconnecting the connection to the second terminal device based on a determination that a difference between a first channel load ratio indicated by the first channel busy ratio information and a second channel load ratio indicated by the second channel busy ratio information is greater than or greater than or equal to a first threshold.

9 . The communication method of claim 7 , wherein disconnecting the connection to the second terminal device further comprises disconnecting the connection to the second terminal device based on a determination that a resource quantity indicated by the first resource quantity information is less than or less than or equal to a resource quantity indicated by the second resource quantity information.

10 . The communication method of claim 7 , wherein disconnecting the connection to the second terminal device further comprises:
disconnecting the connection to the second terminal device based on a determination that a first modulation and coding scheme indicated by the first modulation and coding scheme information is less than a second modulation and coding scheme indicated by the second modulation and coding scheme information; or disconnecting the connection to the second terminal device based on a determination that a distance between the second modulation and coding scheme and the first modulation and coding scheme is greater than or greater than or equal to a second threshold.

11 . The communication method of claim 7 , wherein initiating the connection setup request to the second terminal device further comprises:
initiating the connection setup request to the second terminal device based on a determination that a first channel load ratio indicated by the first channel busy ratio information is less than a second channel load ratio indicated by the second channel busy ratio information; or initiating the connection setup request to the second terminal device a difference between the second channel load ratio and the first channel load ratio is greater than or greater than or equal to a third threshold.

12 . The communication method of claim 7 , wherein initiating the connection setup request to the second terminal device further comprises initiating the connection setup request to the second terminal device based on a determination that a resource quantity indicated by the first resource quantity information is greater than a resource quantity indicated by the second resource quantity information.

13 . The communication method of claim 7 , wherein initiating the connection setup request to the second terminal device further comprises:
initiating the connection setup request to the second terminal device based on a determination that a first modulation and coding scheme indicated by the first modulation and coding scheme information is greater than or equal to a second modulation and coding scheme indicated by the second modulation and coding scheme information; or initiating the connection setup request to the second terminal device based on a determination that a distance between the first modulation and coding scheme and the second modulation and coding scheme is greater than or greater than or equal to a fourth threshold.

14 . The communication method of claim 6 , wherein obtaining the second resource configuration information further comprises obtaining the second resource configuration information that is based on signaling.

15 . The communication method of claim 6 , wherein the first resource configuration information corresponds to a second resource pool or is comprised in a first semi-persistent scheduling message.

16 . A resource configuration apparatus, comprising:
at least one processor;
