Detailed Description

Technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

It should be understood that the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application may be applied to various communication systems, for example: a Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) System, a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) System, a Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) System, a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), a long term evolution LTE System, a LTE Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) System, a LTE Time Division Duplex (TDD), a Universal Mobile telecommunications System (Universal Mobile telecommunications System, UMTS), a UMTS Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) communication System, a New Radio (New Radio, NR), a future 5G System, and the like.

In particular, the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application may be applied to various communication systems based on a non-orthogonal Multiple Access technology, such as a Sparse Code Multiple Access (SCMA) system, a Low Density Signature (LDS) system, and the like, and certainly the SCMA system and the LDS system may also be called other names in the communication field; further, the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application may be applied to a Multi-Carrier transmission system using a non-Orthogonal multiple access technology, for example, an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) using a non-Orthogonal multiple access technology, a Filter Bank Multi-Carrier (FBMC), a General Frequency Division Multiplexing (GFDM), a Filtered Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (F-OFDM) system, and the like.

A terminal device in the embodiments of the present application may refer to a User Equipment (UE), an access terminal, a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a remote terminal, a mobile device, a User terminal, a wireless communication device, a User agent, or a User Equipment. The access terminal may be a cellular phone, a cordless phone, a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) phone, a Wireless Local Loop (WLL) station, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a handheld device with Wireless communication function, a computing device or other processing device connected to a Wireless modem, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, a terminal device in a future 5G Network or a terminal device in a future evolved Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), and the like, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

The Network device in this embodiment may be a device for communicating with a terminal device, where the Network device may be a Base Transceiver Station (BTS) in GSM or CDMA, a Base Station (NodeB, NB) in a WCDMA system, an evolved node b (eNB or eNodeB) in an LTE system, a wireless controller in a Cloud Radio Access Network (CRAN) scenario, or a relay Station, an Access point, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, and a Network device gNB in a future 5G Network or a Network device in a future evolved PLMN Network, and the like, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited.

Fig. 1 and 2 are schematic diagrams of an application scenario of the embodiment of the present application. Fig. 1 exemplarily shows one network device and two terminal devices, and optionally, the wireless communication system may include a plurality of network devices and each network device may include other numbers of terminal devices within a coverage area, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application. In addition, the wireless communication system may further include other Network entities such as a Mobility Management Entity (MME), a Serving Gateway (S-GW), a Packet Data Network Gateway (P-GW), and the like, but the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.

Specifically, the terminal Device 20 and the terminal Device 30 may communicate in a Device-to-Device (D2D) communication mode, and when performing D2D communication, the terminal Device 20 and the terminal Device 30 directly communicate via a D2D link, i.e., a Sidelink (SL). For example, as shown in fig. 1 or fig. 2, terminal device 20 and terminal device 30 communicate directly via a sidelink. In fig. 1, terminal device 20 and terminal device 30 communicate via a sidelink, the transmission resources of which are allocated by the network device; in fig. 2, terminal device 20 and terminal device 30 communicate via a sidelink, and their transmission resources are selected by the terminal device autonomously without the need for the network device to allocate transmission resources.

The D2D communication mode may be applied to Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication or Vehicle-to-other device (V2X) communication. In V2X communication, X may refer to any device with wireless receiving and transmitting capability, such as but not limited to a slow moving wireless device, a fast moving vehicle-mounted device, or a network control node with wireless transmitting and receiving capability. It should be understood that the embodiment of the present application is mainly applied to the scenario of V2X communication, but may also be applied to any other D2D communication scenario, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited in this respect.

LTE-V2X is standardized in Release-14 of the 3GPP protocol, defining two transmission modes, namely transmission mode 3(mode 3) and transmission mode 4(mode 4). The transmission resource of the terminal equipment using the transmission mode3 is allocated by the base station, and the terminal equipment transmits data on a sidelink according to the resource allocated by the base station; the base station may allocate resources for single transmission to the terminal device, or may allocate resources for semi-static transmission to the terminal device. If the terminal equipment using the transmission mode 4 has the interception capability, adopting an interception (sending) and reservation (reservation) mode to transmit data, and if the terminal equipment does not have the interception capability, randomly selecting transmission resources in the resource pool. The terminal equipment with the interception capability acquires an available resource set in a resource pool in an interception mode, and the terminal equipment randomly selects one resource from the set for data transmission. Because the service in the car networking system has a periodic characteristic, the terminal device usually adopts a semi-static transmission mode, that is, after the terminal device selects one transmission resource, the resource is continuously used in a plurality of transmission cycles, so that the probability of resource reselection and resource conflict is reduced. The terminal device can carry the information of the reserved secondary transmission resource in the control information transmitted this time, so that other terminal devices can judge whether the resource is reserved and used by the terminal device by detecting the control information of the terminal device, and the purpose of reducing resource conflict is achieved.

In NR-V2X, autonomous driving needs to be supported, and thus higher requirements are placed on data interaction between vehicles, such as higher throughput, lower latency, higher reliability, greater coverage, more flexible resource allocation, and the like.

In the NR-V2X system, multiple transmission modes are introduced, for example, mode 1 and mode 2, where mode 1 is that the network allocates sidelink transmission resources for the terminal (similar to mode3 in LTE-V2X), and mode 2 is that the terminal selects sidelink transmission resources, and in mode 2, the following modes are included but not limited to:

mode 2 a: the terminal autonomously selects a transmission resource (similar to mode 4 in LTE-V2X); for example, the terminal autonomously selects resources (the resources may be selected randomly or by listening) in a pre-configured or network-configured resource pool.

mode 2 b: the terminal assists other terminals to select resources; for example, the first terminal sends assistance information to the second terminal, which may include, but is not limited to: available time-frequency resource Information, available transmission resource set Information, Channel measurement Information and Channel Quality Information (such as Channel State Information (CSI), Channel Quality Indicator (CQI), Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI), Rank Indicator (RI), Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP), Reference Signal Receiving Quality (RSRQ), Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), path loss Information, etc.).

mode 2 c: the terminal selects resources from the transmission resources configured for the terminal; for example, the network configures a plurality of transmission resources for each terminal, and when the terminal has a side data transmission function, one transmission resource is selected from the plurality of transmission resources configured by the network for data transmission.

mode 2 d: the first terminal allocates transmission resources for the second terminal; for example, the first terminal is a group head of group communication, the second terminal is a group member of the group, and the first terminal directly allocates time-frequency resources for sidelink transmission to the second terminal.

If the terminal device is operating in mode 1, the sidelink transmission resource of the terminal device is allocated by the network device. If the terminal device receives the downlink data or the downlink reference signal sent by the network device, the terminal device needs to send feedback information, that is, uplink feedback information, for the downlink data or the downlink reference signal, to the network device, where the uplink feedback information may be a demodulation result of the downlink data or a measurement result of the downlink reference signal, for example. If transmission of the sidestream data or the sidestream reference signal occurs, the terminal device further needs to send feedback information for the sidestream data or the sidestream reference signal, that is, sidestream feedback information, to the network device to assist the network device in performing resource reallocation. For example, the sending-end terminal device sends the side line data or the side line reference signal to the receiving-end terminal device, and the side line feedback information may be side line feedback information obtained from the receiving-end terminal device and sent by the sending-end terminal device to the network device, or the side line feedback information may also be a demodulation result of the received side line data or a measurement result of the received side line reference signal and sent by the receiving-end terminal device to the network device. As shown in fig. 3, the UE1 receives the sideline resource allocation information sent by the gNB, and thus sends sideline data to the UE2, the UE2 sends the demodulation result of the sideline data, that is, the sideline feedback information to the UE1, and the UE1 can send the sideline feedback information to the network device; the UE1 may also receive downlink data sent by the gNB and obtain uplink feedback information accordingly, and the UE1 may send the uplink feedback information to the network device.

When the terminal device sends the Uplink feedback information to the network device, the Uplink feedback information may be carried through a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) or a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH); when the terminal device sends the sidestream feedback information to the network device, the sidestream feedback information may also be carried through a PUCCH or a PUSCH. Currently, a terminal device does not support simultaneous transmission of two uplink channels at the same time (e.g., simultaneous transmission of two PUCCHs, or simultaneous transmission of two PUSCHs, or simultaneous transmission of a PUCCH and a PUSCH). Therefore, when the terminal device needs to transmit both the uplink feedback information and the side-line feedback information, how to transmit the two types of feedback information is a problem to be solved.

Fig. 4 is a schematic block diagram of a method 100 for transmitting information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 4, the method 100 includes some or all of the following:

s110, the first terminal equipment obtains the uplink feedback information and the side-line feedback information.

S120, the first terminal device sends first information to a network device on an uplink channel, where the first information is used to indicate the uplink feedback information and the sideline feedback information.

First, it should be noted that the uplink feedback information is feedback for a downlink data channel or feedback for downlink reference signal measurement. The sidelink feedback information is feedback for sidelink data channel or feedback for sidelink reference signal measurement. Specifically, the uplink feedback information may be a demodulation result of the downlink data channel or a measurement result of the downlink reference signal, and the sidelink feedback information may be a demodulation result of the sidelink data channel or a measurement result of the sidelink reference signal. For example, the uplink feedback information may include at least one of the following information: a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) acknowledgement ACK, a HARQ negative acknowledgement NACK, Channel State Information (CSI), a Channel Quality Indicator (CQI), a Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI), a Rank Indicator (RI), path loss Information, beam Information, Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ), a Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), and a Channel State Information Reference Signal Resource Indicator (CSI-Reference Signal Indicator, CRI), and the like. The side-line feedback information may include at least one of the following information: side HARQ ACK, side HARQ NACK, side CSI, side CQI, side RSRP, side RSRQ, side RSSI, side path loss information, side beam information, side PMI, side RI, and side CRI, etc.

In addition, the first terminal device in this embodiment may be a side data channel or a sending end of a side reference signal, for example, the first terminal device is UE1 in fig. 3. The first terminal device may also be a receiving end of a sidelink data channel or a sidelink reference signal, for example, the first terminal device is UE2 in fig. 3.

If the first terminal device is a sending end, the sidelink feedback information is sent to the first terminal device by a second terminal device, and the second terminal device is a receiving end of a sidelink data channel or a sidelink reference signal. Specifically, the first terminal device may send a side-line data channel and/or a side-line reference signal to the second terminal device, the second terminal device demodulates the side-line data channel sent by the first terminal device and/or measures the side-line reference signal sent by the first terminal device, the second terminal device may determine side-line feedback information according to a demodulation result and/or a measurement result, and then the second terminal device may send the side-line feedback information to the first terminal device, and the first terminal device processes the side-line feedback information and sends the side-line feedback information to the network device.

If the first terminal device is the receiving end, the sidestream feedback information is determined by the first terminal device according to a sidestream data channel or a sidestream reference signal sent by a second terminal device, and the second terminal device is the sending end of the sidestream data channel or the sidestream reference signal. Specifically, the first terminal device receives a side-line data channel and/or a side-line reference signal sent by the second terminal device, demodulates the side-line data channel and/or measures the side-line reference signal, and determines side-line feedback information according to a demodulation result and/or a measurement result, and the first terminal device may further process the side-line feedback information and send the side-line feedback information to the network device.

Specifically, the first terminal device may obtain both the uplink feedback information and the side feedback information, the first terminal device may perform joint processing on the uplink feedback information and the side feedback information to obtain first information, and then the first terminal device may send the processed first information to the network device, and indicate the uplink feedback information and the side feedback information to the network device through the first information. The first information may be carried on an uplink channel, for example, on a PUCCH or a PUSCH. For example, the first terminal device concatenates information bits of the uplink feedback information and the side-line feedback information together to perform operations such as channel coding, and transmits the concatenated information bits to the network device through the same PUCCH. Optionally, the first terminal device may also not perform combination processing on the uplink feedback information and the side-line feedback information, that is, the uplink feedback information and the side-line feedback information are independently processed, and the processed uplink feedback information and the processed side-line feedback information may be carried on the same uplink channel, for example, the same PUCCH or the same PUSCH. For example, the first terminal device performs operations such as channel coding on the uplink feedback information and the information of the sidestream feedback information, and transmits the uplink feedback information and the sidestream feedback information to the network device through the same PUSCH, but the uplink feedback information and the sidestream feedback information occupy different resources on the PUSCH.

Therefore, in the method for transmitting information according to the embodiment of the present application, by sending the first information indicating the uplink feedback information and the sideline feedback information at the same time on one uplink channel, uplink feedback and sideline feedback to the network device at the same time can be achieved.

Optionally, the uplink channel is a PUCCH. That is, the first terminal device transmits the first information on one PUCCH. Specifically, the network device may allocate a transmission resource of a PUCCH for the first terminal device and instruct to transmit the first information on the transmission resource, and the first terminal device carries the first information, which instructs the uplink feedback information and the side-row feedback information at the same time, on the PUCCH and transmits the first information to the network device.

Optionally, the first terminal device may perform a binding operation and/or a multiplexing operation on the uplink feedback information and the side-line feedback information to generate the first information. The binding operation performed on one information may refer to performing an and operation on all information bits of the information, which is also referred to as a bit and operation, where the information bits after binding are 1 bit. The multiplexing operation of the multiple pieces of information may refer to a concatenation operation of all information bits of the multiple pieces of information, or a bit concatenation operation, where a concatenated information bit may be a sum of information bits of the multiple pieces of information.

Specifically, the first terminal device may generate the first information in the following manner.

The first method is as follows: the information bits of the uplink feedback information and the side-line feedback information may be subjected to bit and operation. Specifically, the information bits of the uplink feedback information and the side row feedback information may be concatenated, and all the concatenated information bits may be subjected to and operation, or the information bits of the uplink feedback information and the side row feedback information may be subjected to bit and operation, and the bits of the uplink feedback information and the side row feedback information and the bits after operation may be subjected to bit and operation. The present embodiment is not limited to this. For example, the uplink feedback information is N bits, the side line feedback information is M bits, and the concatenated N + M bits are anded to form 1 bit, which is sent to the network device as the first information.

The second method comprises the following steps: the uplink feedback information and the side feedback information may be concatenated. For example, the uplink feedback information is N bits, the side-line feedback information is M bits, and after concatenation, M + N bits are formed and sent to the network device as the first information.

The third method comprises the following steps: the information bits of the uplink feedback information and the side-line feedback information can be respectively and-operated, and the uplink feedback information and the side-line feedback information after the and-operation are cascaded. For example, the uplink feedback information is N bits, the side line feedback information is M bits, the uplink feedback information and the side line feedback information after the and operation are respectively 1 bit, and 2 bits are formed after the concatenation and are sent to the network device as the first information.

The method is as follows: the uplink feedback information can be and-operated, and the uplink feedback information and the side feedback information after the and-operation are cascaded. For example, the uplink feedback information is N bits, the side line feedback information is M bits, the uplink feedback information subjected to the and operation is 1 bit, and the uplink feedback information and the side line feedback information are cascaded to form 1+ M bits, which are sent to the network device as the first information.

The fifth mode is as follows: and the side row feedback information and the uplink feedback information after the and operation can be cascaded. For example, the uplink feedback information is N bits, the side row feedback information is M bits, the side row feedback information subjected to the and operation is 1 bit, and is cascaded with the uplink feedback information to form 1+ N bits, which are sent to the network device as the first information.

It should be understood that, in the above various manners, the order of the information bits of the uplink feedback information and the sidelink feedback information in the first information is not limited, and may be that the uplink feedback information is before and the sidelink feedback information is after; or the uplink feedback information may be posterior and the sideline feedback information may be anterior.

After the network device receives the first information, it may determine, according to the first information, a demodulation result of the downlink data channel or the sideline data channel, or a measurement result of the downlink reference signal or the sideline reference signal, and take the feedback information as feedback information for the data channel, which is described in the above various manners, respectively, and the network device may continue to allocate retransmission resources after receiving the first information, for example, if it is determined as HARQ NACK, the network device may consider that demodulation fails; if it is determined to be HARQ ACK, the network device may consider that demodulation is successful, if the network device also allocates retransmission resources at the same time when allocating Transmission resources at the previous time, the network device may reschedule and allocate the retransmission resources, and if it is determined to be a Discontinuous Transmission (DTX) state, the network device may consider that demodulation is failed, and the network device may continue to allocate retransmission resources.

In the first mode, if 1 bit of the first information received by the network device indicates HARQ NACK, the contents of the uplink feedback information and the side-line feedback information may be considered to be HARQ NACK, and the network device may consider that the downlink data channel and the side-line data channel to which the first information is directed both fail to demodulate; if 1 bit of the first information received by the network device indicates HARQ ACK, the contents of the uplink feedback information and the sidelink feedback information may be considered as HARQ ACK, and the network device may consider that the downlink data channel and the sidelink data channel targeted by the first information are both successfully demodulated.

In the second mode, if each information bit in the uplink feedback information corresponds to one downlink data channel and each information bit in the side-line feedback information corresponds to one side-line data channel, each information bit in the first information corresponds to a demodulation result of one downlink data channel or one side-line data channel, and if the information bit is HARQ ACK, the demodulation of the corresponding downlink data channel or side-line data channel is successful; if the data channel is the HARQ NACK, it represents that the corresponding downlink data channel or the sidelink data channel fails to demodulate.

In the third mode, if each information bit in the uplink feedback information corresponds to one downlink data channel and each information bit in the side-line feedback information corresponds to one side-line data channel, then 2 bits in the first information correspond to all downlink data channels and all side-line data channels respectively, and if a certain bit in the first information is HARQ ACK, it represents that the downlink data channel or the side-line data channel corresponding to the bit is successfully demodulated; if the bit is the HARQ NACK, it represents that demodulation of the downlink data channel or the sidelink data channel corresponding to the bit fails.

In the fourth mode, if each information bit in the uplink feedback information corresponds to one downlink data channel and each information bit in the side-line feedback information corresponds to one side-line data channel, the first bit or the last bit in the first information corresponds to all uplink feedback information, and each remaining information bit corresponds to one side-line data channel, if the bit of the uplink feedback information is HARQ ACK, it represents that all downlink data channels are successfully demodulated, and if the bit of the uplink feedback information is HARQ NACK, it represents that all downlink data channels are unsuccessfully demodulated; if the bit of the side-row feedback information is HARQ ACK, it represents that the side-row data channel corresponding to the bit is successfully demodulated, and if the bit of the side-row feedback information is HARQ NACK, it represents that the side-row data channel corresponding to the bit is unsuccessfully demodulated.

In the fifth mode, if each information bit in the uplink feedback information corresponds to one downlink data channel and each information bit in the side row feedback information corresponds to one side row data channel, the first bit or the last bit in the first information corresponds to all the side row feedback information, and each remaining information bit corresponds to one downlink data channel, if the bit of the side row feedback information is HARQ ACK, it represents that all the side row data channels are successfully demodulated, and if the bit of the side row feedback information is HARQ NACK, it represents that all the side row data channels are unsuccessfully demodulated; if the bit of the uplink feedback information is HARQ ACK, it represents that the downlink data channel corresponding to the bit is successfully demodulated, and if the bit of the uplink feedback information is HARQ NACK, it represents that the downlink data channel corresponding to the bit is unsuccessfully demodulated.

Optionally, the side row feedback information may include first side row feedback information and second side row feedback information, where the first side row feedback information may be for feedback of a side row data channel and/or a side row reference signal that is sent by the first terminal device to the second terminal device, that is, the first side row feedback information is sent by the second terminal device to the first terminal device. The second sidelink feedback information may be for feedback of a sidelink data channel and/or a sidelink reference signal received by the first terminal device from the second terminal device, that is, the second sidelink feedback information is obtained by the first terminal device according to a demodulation result of the received sidelink data channel and/or a measurement result of the sidelink reference signal.

Optionally, the side row feedback information may include feedback information for at least one side row data channel and/or side row reference signal. For example, the side row feedback information includes third side row feedback information and fourth side row feedback information, wherein the third side row feedback information is feedback information for a side row data channel and/or a side row reference signal between the first terminal device and the second terminal device, and the fourth side row feedback information is feedback information for a side row data channel and/or a side row reference signal between the first terminal device and the third terminal device.

It should be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the first information may be used to indicate multiple types of feedback information, for example, the first information indicates the first side line feedback information and the second side line feedback information. For another example, the first information indicates uplink feedback information and the various types of side-line feedback information, and for another example, the first information indicates data feedback information and channel feedback information. The embodiments of the present application should not be limited to the first information indicating the uplink feedback information and the side-line feedback information described herein.

Optionally, if the first terminal device as the transmitting end does not detect the side-line feedback information sent by the second terminal device, or the first terminal device detects that the state of the side-line feedback information for the side-line data channel or the side-line reference signal sent to the second terminal device is a Discontinuous Transmission (DTX) state, the first terminal device sets the side-line feedback information sent to the network device as HARQ NACK. For example, the first terminal device sends a Physical Sidelink Control Channel (PSCCH) and a Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSCCH) to the second terminal device, and if the second terminal device does not detect the PSCCH, the PSCCH will not be detected, and therefore the Sidelink feedback information will not be sent to the first terminal device. Then, the first terminal device does not detect the sideline feedback information, and the state of the sideline feedback information detected by the first terminal device at this time may be considered as the DTX state. The first terminal device may set the sidelink feedback information sent to the network device as HARQ NACK, and may reallocate the sidelink transmission resource after the network device receives the sidelink feedback information.

Optionally, the uplink channel is a PUSCH. That is, the first terminal device transmits the first information on one PUSCH. Specifically, the network device may allocate a transmission resource of a PUSCH for the first terminal device and instruct to transmit the first information on the transmission resource, and the first terminal device carries the first information which instructs the uplink feedback information and the sidestream feedback information at the same time on the PUSCH and transmits the first information to the network device.

Optionally, the first information occupies a first transmission resource on the PUSCH, and the first transmission resource may be determined in a puncturing manner or a rate matching manner. The size of the first transmission resource can be determined according to the first information, and the starting position of the first transmission resource can also be determined by protocol predefinition or network equipment configuration. The puncturing method is to partially overlap resources available for the first information with resources available for the data on resources of the PUSCH, and to calculate the available resources of the data, the resources overlapping with the first information are included, and the data is encoded and rate-matched according to the size of the available resources, but the first information is mapped on the overlapping resources, and the data is not mapped, that is, the data is punctured by the first information. Specifically, the data may be mapped to the PUSCH resource first, and the data on the PUSCH resource is punctured according to the size and the position of the resource occupied by the first information, that is, the first information may cover part of the data on the PUSCH resource; or mapping the first information to the PUSCH resource according to the size and the position of the resource occupied by the first information, wherein the resource occupied by the first information does not map data when mapping data. In the rate matching mode, on resources of the PUSCH, resources available for the first information and resources available for the data are orthogonal, and when available resources of the data are calculated, the resources used by the first information are excluded, and operations such as encoding and rate matching are performed on the data according to the size of the remaining available resources.

Optionally, according to the above illustration of the uplink feedback information and the side-line feedback information, the first information may be divided into data feedback information and channel feedback information. The resources occupied by the data feedback information can be determined by a puncturing method or a rate matching method, and the channel feedback information can be determined by the rate matching method. Wherein the data feedback information may include at least one of HARQ ACK, HARQ NACK, side-row HARQ ACK, and side-row HARQ NACK. The channel feedback information includes at least one of the following information: CSI, CQI, PMI, RI, path loss information, beam information, RSRP, RSRQ, RSSI, CRI, sideline CSI, sideline CQI, sideline RSRP, sideline RSRQ, sideline RSSI, sideline path loss information, sideline beam information, sideline PMI, and sideline RI.

For example, if the bit sequence of the data feedback information is less than or equal to K bits, the resource occupied by the data feedback information is determined by puncturing, and if the bit sequence of the data feedback information is greater than K bits, the resource occupied by the data feedback information is determined by rate matching, where K is a positive integer.

Referring to fig. 5a and 5b, uplink data, HARQ ACK, and CSI may occupy all resources on the PUSCH resource except for a Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS). Preferably, the HARQ ACK occupies resources on a symbol previous or subsequent to the symbol on which the DMRS is located. In fig. 5a, the resource occupied by HARQ ACK is determined by puncturing. In fig. 5b, the resource occupied by the HARQ ACK is determined by a rate matching method. In fig. 5a and 5b, the resources occupied by CSI are determined by using a rate matching method.

When the data feedback information includes both data feedback information for downlink data and data feedback information for sidelink data, the data feedback information for downlink data and the data feedback information for sidelink data may occupy orthogonal resources on the PUSCH. The orthogonal resource means a resource orthogonal to each other in the time domain, the frequency domain, the code domain, or the space domain. For example, HARQ ACK and/or HARQ NACK occupies a second transmission resource on the PUSCH, and side HARQ ACK and/or side HARQ NACK occupies a third transmission resource on the PUSCH, where the second transmission resource and the third transmission resource are orthogonal resources.

Referring to fig. 6a and 6b, uplink data, HARQ ACK, sidelink HARQ ACK, CSI, and sidelink CSI may occupy all resources on the PUSCH resources except for DMRS. In fig. 6a, the resources occupied by HARQ ACK and sidelink HARQ ACK are determined by puncturing. In fig. 6b, the resource occupied by the HARQ ACK is determined by the puncturing method, and the resource occupied by the sidelink HARQ ACK is determined by the rate matching method. The side-row HARQ ACK and the side-row HARQ ACK adopt orthogonal resources, and the side-row CSI and the CSI also adopt orthogonal resources. In fig. 6a and fig. 6b, the resources occupied by CSI and side CSI are both determined by using a rate matching method.

Optionally, the data feedback information for the downlink data and the data feedback information for the sideline data may be processed first, and then it may be determined whether the data feedback information in the first information adopts the puncturing method or the rate matching method according to the size of the processed bit sequence. For example, the information bit of the HARQ ACK and/or HARQ NACK is N, the information bit of the side HARQ ACK and/or HARQ NACK is M, the HARQ ACK and/or HARQ NACK and the side HARQ ACK and/or HARQ NACK are concatenated, the concatenated information bit is M + N, if M + N is less than or equal to K, the resource occupied by the data feedback information is determined in a puncturing manner, and if M + N is greater than K, the resource occupied by the data feedback information is determined in a rate matching manner. Wherein K is a positive integer.

Referring to fig. 7a and 7b, uplink data, concatenated data feedback information, CSI, and sideline CSI may occupy all resources on the PUSCH resource except for the DMRS. In fig. 7a, the resource occupied by the concatenated data feedback information is determined by puncturing. In fig. 7b, the resource occupied by the concatenated data feedback information is determined by a rate matching method. In fig. 7a and 7b, the resources occupied by CSI and sideline CSI are both determined by using a rate matching method.

Optionally, the operations in the first to fifth manners may be performed on the data feedback information for the downlink data and the data feedback information for the sideline data, and it is determined whether the resource occupied by the data feedback information is obtained by a puncturing manner or a rate matching manner according to the size of the bit sequence of the data feedback information after the operations.

Optionally, the parameter K may be a parameter predefined by a protocol or configured by a network. For example, K may be 2. When the information bit is small, a punching mode is adopted, the error rate of data is not influenced, and the operation is simple. And when the information bit is large, a rate matching mode is adopted, so that the error rate of the data is not increased due to the punching of the data.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, when there is no uplink data transmission on the PUSCH, the first information may occupy all resources on the PUSCH resource except for the resource occupied by the DMRS, or the first information may occupy all resources on the PUSCH resource except for the time domain symbol occupied by the DMRS. Referring to fig. 8, the HARQ ACK, the sidelink HARQ ACK, the CSI, and the sidelink CSI occupy all resources on the PUSCH resource except for the time domain symbol occupied by the DMRS, and the unoccupied resources on the time domain symbol occupied by the DMRS are idle resources.

Optionally, the uplink feedback information and the sidelink feedback information in the first information may be transmitted through orthogonal resources on a PUSCH, as shown in fig. 6a and 6b, the uplink feedback information includes HARQ ACK and CSI, and the sidelink feedback information includes sidelink HARQ ACK and sidelink CSI. And the resources occupied by the HARQ ACK and the CSI are orthogonal to the resources occupied by the side-row HARQ ACK and the side-row CSI.

Optionally, the data feedback information and the channel feedback information in the first information may be transmitted through orthogonal resources on the PUSCH. As shown in fig. 6a and 6b, the data feedback information includes HARQ ACK and side row HARQ ACK, and the channel feedback information includes CSI and side row CSI, where the resources occupied by the HARQ ACK and the side row HARQ ACK are orthogonal to the resources occupied by the CSI and the side row CSI.

Optionally, before the first terminal device transmits the first information, the first terminal device determines a transmission resource of an uplink channel carrying the first information.

In an implementable embodiment, the first terminal device may obtain first configuration information, where the first configuration information is used to indicate a fourth transmission resource for transmitting the uplink feedback information. For example, the network device may allocate a transmission resource for transmitting the uplink feedback information to the first terminal device. The first terminal device may further obtain second configuration information, where the second configuration information is used to indicate a fifth transmission resource for transmitting the sidelink feedback information. For example, the network device may also allocate transmission resources for transmitting the sidelink feedback information for the first terminal device. The first terminal device may select to send the uplink channel carrying the first information on the fourth transmission resource or the fifth transmission resource. Optionally, the first terminal device may select one of the fourth transmission resources or the fifth transmission resources as the transmission resource of the uplink channel carrying the first information according to the sequence of the fourth transmission resource or the fifth transmission resource in the time domain. For example, the first terminal device may select a transmission resource that is earlier in the time domain. Optionally, the first terminal device may select one of the first configuration information and the second configuration information as a transmission resource of an uplink channel carrying the first information according to the sequence of obtaining the first configuration information or the second configuration information. For example, the first terminal device first obtains the first configuration information, and then the first terminal device may select the fourth transmission resource to send the uplink channel carrying the first information. Optionally, the first terminal device may determine, according to the type of the uplink channel, a transmission resource of the uplink channel carrying the first information. For example, if the first configuration information indicates that the fourth transmission resource is a PUCCH, the second configuration information indicates that the fifth transmission resource is a PUSCH, and the uplink channel on the resource is a PUCCH, the first terminal device may select the fifth transmission resource and transmit a PUSCH channel carrying the first information on the resource.

If the feedback information is data feedback information, the network device may allocate a transmission resource of the feedback information corresponding to the downlink data or the sidestream data to the first terminal device while allocating the transmission resource of the downlink data or the sidestream data to the first terminal device. That is, the first configuration information may also be used to indicate a transmission resource for transmitting downlink data, and the second configuration information may also be used to indicate a transmission resource for transmitting sideline data. For example, the first terminal device may further receive a first Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) sent by the network device, where the first PDCCH is used to indicate a transmission resource for transmitting the PSCCH and/or the PSCCH, and the first PDCCH may also be used to indicate a transmission resource for transmitting the sidelink feedback information for the PSCCH. The first terminal device may receive a second PDCCH sent by the network device, where the second PDCCH is used to indicate a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) for transmission, and the second PDCCH may also be used to indicate a transmission resource for transmitting uplink feedback information for the PDSCH. Wherein the first PDCCH and the second PDCCH may be different.

Considering the situation that the first terminal device may not detect the PDCCH, the following scenarios may be considered:

scene 1: the first terminal device detects the first PDCCH but does not detect the second PDCCH, so the first terminal device sends side-row feedback information to the network device and does not send the uplink feedback information;

scene 2: the first terminal device detects the second PDCCH, but does not detect the first PDCCH, and therefore the first terminal device sends uplink feedback information to the network device, and does not send side-row feedback information.

Scene 3: the first terminal device does not detect the first PDCCH and does not detect the second PDCCH, and therefore the first terminal device does not send uplink feedback information or side feedback information to the network device.

Scene 4: the first terminal device detects both the first PDCCH and the second PDCCH, and therefore the first terminal device needs to send both uplink feedback information and side feedback information.

If the first terminal device does not send some feedback information to the network device, the network device does not naturally know whether the first terminal device detects the corresponding PDCCH, and the network device still needs to detect on the transmission resource of the feedback information indicated by the PDCCH. The network device may first perform detection according to a condition of sending both the uplink feedback information and the side-line feedback information, if the detection fails, perform detection according to a condition of sending only the uplink feedback information or the side-line feedback information, and if the detection fails, perform detection according to a condition that the first terminal device does not feed back any information, that is, the corresponding state is a DTX state.

In an alternative embodiment, the network device may directly allocate the transmission resource of the uplink channel carrying the first information to the first terminal device without selecting between the two transmission resources.

In another alternative embodiment, the first terminal device may further obtain third configuration information, where the third configuration information is used to indicate a sixth transmission resource used to transmit downlink data corresponding to the uplink feedback information or a seventh transmission resource used to transmit sidelink data corresponding to the sidelink feedback information, and the first terminal device may determine, according to the sixth transmission resource or the seventh transmission resource, a transmission resource of an uplink channel carrying the first information. That is, the sixth transmission resource or the seventh transmission resource may implicitly indicate the transmission resource of the uplink channel. For example, the time domain resource of the uplink channel may be the next time slot of the sixth transmission resource or the seventh transmission resource and occupy the last two time domain symbols in the time slot, the starting position of the frequency domain resource of the uplink channel may be determined by the starting position of the frequency domain resource of the sixth transmission resource or the seventh transmission resource, and the length of the frequency domain resource may be predefined or may be the same as the length of the frequency domain resource of the sixth transmission resource or the seventh transmission resource.

Fig. 9 is a schematic block diagram of a method 200 for transmitting information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 9, the method 200 includes some or all of the following:

s210, the first terminal equipment determines uplink feedback information and side feedback information sent to the network equipment;

s220, the first terminal device sends the uplink feedback information and the side-line feedback information to the network device on different time domain resources.

First, it should be noted that the uplink feedback information is feedback for a downlink data channel or feedback for downlink reference signal measurement. The sidelink feedback information is feedback for sidelink data channel or feedback for sidelink reference signal measurement. Specifically, the uplink feedback information may be a demodulation result of the downlink data channel or a measurement result of the downlink reference signal, and the sidelink feedback information may be a demodulation result of the sidelink data channel or a measurement result of the sidelink reference signal. For example, the uplink feedback information may include at least one of the following information: HARQ ACK, HARQ NACK, CSI, CQI, PMI, RI, path loss information, beam information, RSRP, RSRQ, RSSI, and CRI, and the like. The side-line feedback information may include at least one of the following information: side HARQ ACK, side HARQ NACK, side CSI, side CQI, side RSRP, side RSRQ, side RSSI, side path loss information, side beam information, side PMI, and side RI, etc.

In addition, the first terminal device in this embodiment may be a side data channel or a sending end of a side reference signal, for example, the first terminal device is UE1 in fig. 3. The first terminal device may also be a receiving end of a sidelink data channel or a sidelink reference signal, for example, the first terminal device is UE2 in fig. 3.

If the first terminal device is a sending end, the sidelink feedback information is sent to the first terminal device by a second terminal device, and the second terminal device is a receiving end of a sidelink data channel or a sidelink reference signal. Specifically, the first terminal device may send a side-line data channel and/or a side-line reference signal to the second terminal device, the second terminal device demodulates the side-line data channel sent by the first terminal device and/or measures the side-line reference signal sent by the first terminal device, the second terminal device may determine side-line feedback information according to a demodulation result and/or a measurement result, and then the second terminal device may send the side-line feedback information to the first terminal device, and the first terminal device processes the side-line feedback information and sends the side-line feedback information to the network device.

If the first terminal device is the receiving end, the sidestream feedback information is determined by the first terminal device according to a sidestream data channel or a sidestream reference signal sent by a second terminal device, and the second terminal device is the sending end of the sidestream data channel or the sidestream reference signal. Specifically, the first terminal device receives a side-line data channel and/or a side-line reference signal sent by the second terminal device, demodulates the side-line data channel and/or measures the side-line reference signal, and determines side-line feedback information according to a demodulation result and/or a measurement result, and the first terminal device may further process the side-line feedback information and send the side-line feedback information to the network device.

Specifically, the first terminal device does not expect to transmit the uplink feedback information and the sideline feedback information at the same time. The difference of time domain resources of the uplink feedback information and the side-line feedback information can be realized through the scheduling of the network equipment, so that the first terminal equipment is ensured to send only one type of feedback information at the same time.

The method 300 for transmitting information according to the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below with reference to fig. 10. As shown in fig. 10, the method 300 includes at least some of the following:

s310, the UE1 (sidestream data sender) may obtain first configuration information from the gNB (network device), where the first configuration information is used to indicate a first transmission resource for transmitting uplink feedback information.

S320, the UE1 may further obtain second configuration information from the gNB, where the second configuration information is used to indicate a second transmission resource for transmitting the sidelink feedback information, and the first transmission resource and the second transmission resource do not overlap in a time domain.

S330, the gNB may send downlink data to the UE 1.

S340, the UE1 may send uplink feedback information for the downlink data to the gNB on the first transmission resource.

S350, the UE1 may transmit the sidestream data to the UE2 (sidestream data receiver).

S360, the UE2 may send the sidestream feedback information for the sidestream data to the UE 1.

S370, the UE1 may send the sidestream feedback information to the network device on the second transmission resource.

It should be understood that, in the various embodiments of the present application, the sequence numbers of the above-mentioned processes do not mean the execution sequence, and the execution sequence of each process should be determined by its function and inherent logic, and should not constitute any limitation to the implementation process of the embodiments of the present application.

Alternatively, the network device may allocate transmission resources of feedback information corresponding to downlink data or sidestream data to the UE1 while allocating transmission resources for the downlink data or sidestream data to the UE 1. That is, the first configuration information may also be used to indicate a transmission resource for transmitting downlink data, and the second configuration information may also be used to indicate a transmission resource for transmitting sideline data. For example, the UE1 may also receive a first PDCCH sent by the network device, where the first PDCCH may be used to indicate transmission resources for transmitting the PSCCH and/or PSCCH, and the first PDCCH may also be used to indicate transmission resources for transmitting the sidestream feedback information for the PSCCH. The UE1 may receive a second PDCCH sent by the network device, where the second PDCCH is used to indicate that the PDSCH is transmitted, and the second PDCCH may also be used to indicate transmission resources for transmitting uplink feedback information for the PDSCH. Wherein the first PDCCH and the second PDCCH may be different.

Alternatively, the transmission resource for the UE2 to transmit the sidelink feedback information to the UE1 may be determined by:

one is as follows: the gNB determines transmission resources for the UE2 to send the sidelink feedback information to the UE 1. For example, the gNB may send the allocated transmission resources to UE1, UE1 to UE 2; as another example, the gNB may directly send the allocated transmission resources to the UE 2.

The second step is as follows: the UE1 may determine a transmission resource for the UE2 to send the sidelink feedback information to the UE 1. The indication Information of the transmission Information may be carried by the UE1 through Sidelink Control Information (SCI) or psch and sent to the UE 2.

And thirdly: an implicit indication of transmission resources for the sidestream data may be sent to the UE2 from the UE 1. For example, the time domain resource of the sidelink feedback information may be the next time slot of the transmission resource of the sidelink data and occupy the last two time domain symbols in the time slot, the start position of the frequency domain resource is the same as the frequency domain start position of the transmission resource of the sidelink data, and the length of the frequency domain resource may be predefined or the same as the length of the frequency domain resource of the transmission resource of the sidelink data.

Alternatively, the sidestream feedback information sent by the UE1 to the network device may be feedback for a sidestream data channel or a sidestream reference signal between the UE1 and the UE 2. For example, the side row feedback information may include first side row feedback information and second side row feedback information, where the first side row feedback information may be feedback for a side row data channel or a side row reference signal transmitted by the UE1 to the UE2, that is, the first side row feedback information is transmitted by the UE2 to the UE 1. The second downlink feedback information may be feedback for the downlink data channel or the downlink reference signal received by the UE1 from the UE2, that is, the second downlink feedback information is obtained by the UE1 according to the demodulation result of the received downlink data channel or the measurement result of the downlink reference signal. And the UE1 jointly sends the sidestream feedback information to the network device according to the acquired first sidestream feedback information and the acquired second sidestream feedback information.

Optionally, the sidestream feedback information sent by the UE1 to the network device may also include feedback for both the sidestream data channel or the sidestream reference signal between the UE1 and the UE2, and may also include feedback for the sidestream data channel or the sidestream reference signal between the UE1 and the UE3 (different from the UE 2).

It should be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the UE1 may send multiple types of feedback information to the network device in different time domains, for example, sending the first side-row feedback information on a third transmission resource and sending the second side-row feedback information on a fourth transmission resource, where the third transmission resource and the fourth transmission resource do not overlap in the time domain. For another example, the first side-line feedback information is sent on a third transmission resource, the second side-line feedback information is sent on a fourth transmission resource, and the uplink feedback information is sent on a fifth transmission resource, where the third transmission resource, the fourth transmission resource, and the fifth transmission resource are not overlapped in a time domain.

Alternatively, if the UE1 as the transmitting end does not detect the sidelink feedback information transmitted by the UE2, or the UE1 detects that the status of the sidelink feedback information for the sidelink data channel or the sidelink reference signal transmitted to the UE2 is a DTX status, the UE1 sets the sidelink feedback information transmitted to the network device as HARQ NACK. For example, UE1 transmits PSCCH and PSCCH to UE2, and if UE2 does not detect PSCCH, it will not detect PSCCH, and therefore, it will not transmit side-row feedback information to UE 1. Then the UE1 will not detect the sidelink feedback information, and the status of the sidelink feedback information detected by the UE1 at this time can be considered as the DTX status. The UE1 may set the sidelink feedback information sent to the network device to be HARQ NACK, and may reallocate the sidelink transmission resources when the network device receives the sidelink feedback information.

If the network device allocates transmission resources for the UE1 to retransmit the sidelink data while allocating transmission resources for the sidelink data, the network device may reallocate and schedule retransmission resources that are not used by the UE1 when receiving the HARQ ACK transmitted by the UE 1. If the network device receives the HARQ NACK sent by the UE1, the network device may reallocate retransmission resources for the sidelink data for the UE 1. If the UE1 detects that the status of the sidestream feedback information of the UE2 is a DTX status, the UE1 may send a HARQ NACK to the network device, and the network device may reallocate retransmission resources for the sidestream data for the UE 1.

The state of the uplink feedback information sent by the UE1 to the network device is similar to the state of the sidelink feedback information.

Alternatively, the UE1 may carry the uplink feedback information through a PUCCH or PUSCH channel.

Alternatively, the UE1 may carry the sidestream feedback information through a PUCCH or PUSCH channel.

Referring to fig. 11, a network device sends downlink data at time m, allocates a transmission resource at time m + p to send uplink feedback information, where the uplink feedback information is feedback information for the downlink data at time m; the network device allocates the transmission resource at time n for the UE1 to transmit the sideline data, and allocates the transmission resource at time n + q for the UE1 to transmit the sideline feedback information to the network device, where the feedback information is the feedback information for the sideline data transmitted by the UE1 to the UE 2.

The time m + p and the time n + q are different times, that is, the transmission resource for transmitting the uplink feedback information and the transmission resource for transmitting the side uplink feedback information are not overlapped in a time domain. Thus, the UE1 only needs to send one type of feedback information at a time.

UE1 is configured to receive downlink data at time m and transmit uplink feedback information for the downlink data at time m + p; the UE1 may receive configuration information sent by a network device, the configuration information including scheduling information for transmitting sidestream data and resource allocation information for sending sidestream feedback information to the network device. The UE1 transmits the sidelink data (PSCCH and/or PSCCH) to the UE2 at the network device's allocated transmission resource for sidelink data (i.e., time n) and transmits the sidelink feedback information to the network device at time n + q. The parameters p, q may be protocol pre-configured or network configured.

It should be understood that the time instant herein is a concept having a time width, for example, the time instant m may be regarded as a time unit m.

Fig. 12 is a schematic block diagram of a method 400 for transmitting information according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 12, the method 400 includes some or all of the following:

s410, if the transmission resource for transmitting the uplink feedback information and the transmission resource for transmitting the sideline feedback information overlap in a time domain, the first terminal device sends the uplink feedback information or the sideline feedback information to the network device.

First, it should be noted that the uplink feedback information is feedback for a downlink data channel or feedback for downlink reference signal measurement. The sidelink feedback information is feedback for sidelink data channel or feedback for sidelink reference signal measurement. Specifically, the uplink feedback information may be a demodulation result of the downlink data channel or a measurement result of the downlink reference signal, and the sidelink feedback information may be a demodulation result of the sidelink data channel or a measurement result of the sidelink reference signal. For example, the uplink feedback information may include at least one of the following information: HARQ ACK, HARQ NACK, CSI, CQI, PMI, RI, path loss information, beam information, RSRP, RSRQ, RSSI, and CRI, and the like. The side-line feedback information may include at least one of the following information: side HARQ ACK, side HARQ NACK, side CSI, side CQI, side RSRP, side RSRQ, side RSSI, side path loss information, side beam information, side PMI, side RI, and side CRI, etc.

In addition, the first terminal device in this embodiment may be a side data channel or a sending end of a side reference signal, for example, the first terminal device is UE1 in fig. 3. The first terminal device may also be a receiving end of a sidelink data channel or a sidelink reference signal, for example, the first terminal device is UE2 in fig. 3.

If the first terminal device is a sending end, the sidelink feedback information is sent to the first terminal device by a second terminal device, and the second terminal device is a receiving end of a sidelink data channel or a sidelink reference signal. Specifically, the first terminal device may send a side-line data channel and/or a side-line reference signal to the second terminal device, the second terminal device demodulates the side-line data channel sent by the first terminal device and/or measures the side-line reference signal sent by the first terminal device, the second terminal device may determine side-line feedback information according to a demodulation result and/or a measurement result, and then the second terminal device may send the side-line feedback information to the first terminal device, and the first terminal device processes the side-line feedback information and sends the side-line feedback information to the network device.

If the first terminal device is the receiving end, the sidestream feedback information is determined by the first terminal device according to a sidestream data channel or a sidestream reference signal sent by a second terminal device, and the second terminal device is the sending end of the sidestream data channel or the sidestream reference signal. Specifically, the first terminal device receives a side-line data channel and/or a side-line reference signal sent by the second terminal device, demodulates the side-line data channel and/or measures the side-line reference signal, and determines side-line feedback information according to a demodulation result and/or a measurement result, and the first terminal device may further process the side-line feedback information and send the side-line feedback information to the network device.

Specifically, the network device may allocate a first transmission resource to the first terminal device for sending uplink feedback information, allocate a second transmission resource to the first terminal device for sending side-line feedback information, where the first transmission resource and the second transmission resource may overlap in a time domain, or the first transmission resource and the second transmission resource may be the same transmission resource. The first terminal device determines to send uplink feedback information or sidestream feedback information, that is, the first terminal device discards one of the feedback information.

It should be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the first terminal device may select to send one of the multiple types of feedback information to the network device, and is not limited to select among the uplink feedback information and the sidelink feedback information. For example, one side row feedback information transmission may be selected between the first side row feedback information and the second side row feedback information mentioned above, and the other side row feedback information is discarded, where the transmission resource for transmitting the first side row feedback information and the transmission resource for transmitting the second side row feedback information overlap in the time domain. For another example, one side row feedback information may be selected to be transmitted between the above-mentioned third side row feedback information and the fourth side row feedback information, and another side row feedback information may be discarded, where a transmission resource for transmitting the third side row feedback information overlaps a transmission resource for transmitting the fourth feedback information in a time domain.

If the feedback information is data feedback information, the network device may allocate a transmission resource of the feedback information corresponding to the downlink data or the sidestream data to the first terminal device while allocating the transmission resource of the downlink data or the sidestream data to the first terminal device. That is, the first configuration information may also be used to indicate a transmission resource for transmitting downlink data, and the second configuration information may also be used to indicate a transmission resource for transmitting sideline data. For example, the first terminal device may further receive a first PDCCH sent by the network device, where the first PDCCH is used to indicate transmission resources for transmitting PSCCH and/or PSCCH, and the first PDCCH may also be used to indicate transmission resources for transmitting sidestream feedback information for PSCCH. The first terminal device may receive a second PDCCH sent by the network device, where the second PDCCH is used to indicate that the PDSCH is transmitted, and the second PDCCH may also be used to indicate a transmission resource for transmitting uplink feedback information for the PDSCH. Wherein the first PDCCH and the second PDCCH may be different.

Optionally, if the first terminal device as the transmitting end does not detect the side-line feedback information sent by the second terminal device, in other words, the first terminal device detects that the state of the side-line feedback information for the side-line data channel or the side-line reference signal sent to the second terminal device is a DTX state, the first terminal device sets the side-line feedback information sent to the network device as HARQ NACK. For example, the first terminal device transmits PSCCH and PSCCH to the second terminal device, and if the second terminal device does not detect PSCCH, the PSCCH will not be detected, and therefore side-row feedback information will not be transmitted to the first terminal device. Then, the first terminal device does not detect the sideline feedback information, and the state of the sideline feedback information detected by the first terminal device at this time may be considered as the DTX state. The first terminal device may set the sidelink feedback information sent to the network device as HARQ NACK, and may reallocate the sidelink transmission resource after the network device receives the sidelink feedback information.

Optionally, the first terminal device may determine to send the uplink feedback information or the sidelink feedback information according to a first criterion. In other words, the first terminal device may decide to discard the uplink feedback information or the sidelink feedback information according to a first criterion.

Optionally, the first criterion may be a type of feedback information. For example, the first terminal device only sends the side-row feedback information, and does not send the uplink feedback information. For another example, the first terminal device only sends the data feedback information and does not send the channel feedback information, and if the uplink feedback information includes the data feedback information and the sideline feedback information includes the channel feedback information, the first terminal device sends the uplink feedback information and does not send the sideline feedback information.

Alternatively, the first criterion may be priorities of the uplink feedback information and the sidelink feedback information, or priorities of various types of feedback information. For example, the first terminal device may send feedback information with the highest priority to the network device. The sidestream transmission in the car networking is generally a service related to safety, so that the sidestream transmission has higher priority, and when the terminal can only feed back one type of information, the terminal can preferentially select and send sidestream feedback information.

Optionally, the first criterion may also be a size relationship between a first attribute of side line data corresponding to the side line feedback information and a first threshold, or a size relationship between a first attribute of downlink data corresponding to the uplink feedback information and a first threshold, or a size relationship between a first attribute of side line data corresponding to the side line feedback information and a first attribute of downlink data corresponding to the uplink feedback information. The first attribute may be priority information, delay information, reliability information, transmission rate information, and communication distance information. The first threshold may be a priority threshold, a delay threshold, a reliability threshold, a transmission rate threshold, and a communication distance threshold. For example, the first attribute is priority information, the first threshold is a priority threshold, the first terminal device compares the priority of the sideline data with the priority threshold, if the value of the priority is less than or equal to the priority threshold (the lower the value of the priority can be set, the higher the priority is, for example, the range of the value of the priority is [0,7], where 0 represents the highest priority, and 7 represents the lowest priority), the sideline feedback information is sent, otherwise, the uplink feedback information is sent. For another example, the first attribute is delay information, the first threshold is a delay threshold, the first terminal device may compare the delay of the side line data with the delay threshold, and send the uplink feedback information if the value of the delay information is greater than or equal to the delay threshold, otherwise send the side line feedback information.

Optionally, the first criterion may also be a time sequence of the first terminal device receiving the downlink data corresponding to the uplink feedback information and the side-line feedback information. For example, if the first terminal device receives downlink data first, the uplink feedback information is sent, and the side-line feedback information is not sent; if the first terminal device receives the side-line feedback information first, the side-line feedback information is sent first, and the uplink feedback information is not sent.

Optionally, the first terminal device may carry the uplink feedback information through a PUCCH or PUSCH channel.

Optionally, the first terminal device may carry the sidelink feedback information through a PUCCH or PUSCH channel.
