Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed are a sidelink transmission method, and a terminal and a computer-readable storage medium. The method comprises: acquiring a time domain resource, on a sidelink, for transmission; and taking a preset position on the time domain resource as a time domain sending position of sidelink control information, and sending the sidelink control information on the sidelink. The application of the above-mentioned solution enables a receiving terminal to determine the specific sending position, on the time domain resource, of the sidelink control information, and can reduce the complexity of a blind test of the receiving terminal, improve receiving efficiency and reduce the power consumption of the receiving terminal.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A sidelink transmission method, comprising: acquiring a time-frequency resource for transmission on a sidelink; and taking a preset position on the time-frequency resource as a time domain transmission position of sidelink control information, and transmitting the sidelink control information on the sidelink. 2 . The sidelink transmission method according to claim 1 , wherein the preset position comprises a first preset position or a second preset position, and taking a preset position on the time-frequency resource as a time domain transmission position of sidelink control information comprises: determining that the preset position is the first preset position or the second preset position based on a time when the time-frequency resource is successfully acquired, wherein a start position of the first preset position is earlier than a start position of the second preset position in a time domain. 3 . The sidelink transmission method according to claim 2 , wherein a time domain length of the time-frequency resource is a resource selection time domain unit, and a frequency domain length of the time-frequency resource is at least one sub-channel, wherein the resource selection time domain unit comprises one time slot, a plurality of time slots or a plurality of symbols, and the sub-channel comprises at least one frequency domain resource block. 4 . The sidelink transmission method according to claim 3 , wherein the first preset position is first L symbols in the resource selection time domain unit, wherein L is a time domain length of the sidelink control information, and is a positive integer less than or equal to a total number of symbols in the resource selection time domain unit. 5 . The sidelink transmission method according to claim 3 , wherein the first preset position is the second to (L+1) th symbols in the resource selection time domain unit, wherein L is a time domain length of the sidelink control information and is a positive integer, and (L+1) is less than or equal to a total number of symbols in the resource selection time domain unit. 6 . The sidelink transmission method according to claim 3 , wherein the second preset position is the (W+1) th to (W+L) th symbols in the resource selection time domain unit, wherein the W th symbol is an end symbol of a time window in the resource selection time domain unit, L is a time domain length of the sidelink control information, W and L are both positive integers, (W+L) is less than or equal to a total number of symbols in the resource selection time domain unit, the time window is a maximum length of time allowed for resource awareness in the resource selection time domain unit, and a start symbol of the time window is a start symbol of the resource selection time domain unit. 7 . The sidelink transmission method according to claim 3 , wherein the second preset position is the (W+2) th to (W+L+1) th symbols in the resource selection time domain unit, wherein (W+L+1) is less than or equal to a total number of symbols in the resource selection time domain unit, L is a time domain length of the sidelink control information, and W and L are both positive integers. 8 . The sidelink transmission method according to claim 2 , wherein determining that the preset position is the first preset position or the second preset position based on a time when the time-frequency resource is successfully acquired comprises: if the time when the time-frequency resource is successfully acquired is later than a start time of the first preset position, determining that the preset position is the second preset position; or if the time when the time-frequency resource is successfully acquired is earlier than or is the start time of the first preset position, determining that the preset position is the first preset position. 9 . The sidelink transmission method according to claim 8 , wherein when the preset position is the second preset position, the method further comprises: transmitting sidelink data corresponding to the sidelink control information at a start time of a first symbol or a second symbol after the time-frequency resource is successfully acquired within a time window where the time-frequency resource is acquired. 10 . (canceled) 11 . (canceled) 12 . A terminal, comprising: an acquiring circuitry configured to acquire a time-frequency resource for transmission on a sidelink; and a first transmitting circuitry configured to: take a preset position on the time-frequency resource as a time domain transmission position of sidelink control information, and transmit the sidelink control information on the sidelink. 13 . The terminal according to claim 12 , wherein the preset position comprises a first preset position or a second preset position, and the first transmitting circuitry is configured to determine that the preset position is the first preset position or the second preset position based on a time when the time-frequency resource is successfully acquired, wherein a start position of the first preset position is earlier than a start position of the second preset position in a time domain. 14 . The terminal according to claim 13 , wherein a time domain length of the time-frequency resource is a resource selection time domain unit, and a frequency domain length of the time-frequency resource is at least one sub-channel, wherein the resource selection time domain unit comprises one time slot, a plurality of time slots or a plurality of symbols, and the sub-channel comprises at least one frequency domain resource block. 15 . The terminal according to claim 14 , wherein the first preset position is first L symbols in the resource selection time domain unit, wherein L is a time domain length of the sidelink control information, and is a positive integer less than or equal to a total number of symbols in the resource selection time domain unit. 16 . The terminal according to claim 14 , wherein the first preset position is the second to (L+1) th symbols in the resource selection time domain unit, wherein L is a time domain length of the sidelink control information and is a positive integer, and (L+1) is less than or equal to a total number of symbols in the resource selection time domain unit. 17 . The terminal according to claim 14 , wherein the second preset position is the (W+1) th to (W+L) th symbols in the resource selection time domain unit, wherein the W th symbol is an end symbol of a time window in the resource selection time domain unit, L is a time domain length of the sidelink control information, W and L are both positive integers, (W+L) is less than or equal to a total number of symbols in the resource selection time domain unit, the time window is a maximum length of time allowed for resource awareness in the resource selection time domain unit, and a start symbol of the time window is a start symbol of the resource selection time domain unit. 18 . The terminal according to claim 14 , wherein the second preset position is the (W+2) th to (W+L+1) th symbols in the resource selection time domain unit, wherein (W+L+1) is less than or equal to a total number of symbols in the resource selection time domain unit, L is a time domain length of the sidelink control information, and W and L are both positive integers. 19 . The terminal according to claim 13 , wherein the first transmitting circuitry is configured to: if the time when the time-frequency resource is successfully acquired is later than a start time of the first preset position, determine that the preset p
