The following clearly describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Apparently, the described embodiments are only some rather than all of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of this application shall fall within the protection scope of this application.
The terms “first”, “second”, and the like in this specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish between similar objects instead of describing a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the terms used in this way are interchangeable in appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of this application can be implemented in other orders than the order illustrated or described herein. In addition, objects distinguished by “first” and “second” usually fall within one class, and a quantity of objects is not limited. For example, there may be one or more first objects. In addition, the term “and/or” in the specification and claims indicates at least one of connected objects, and the character “I” generally represents an “or” relationship between associated objects.
It should be noted that technologies described in the embodiments of this application are not limited to a long term evolution (LTE)/LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) system, and can also be used in other wireless communications systems, such as code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA), single-carrier frequency-division multiple access (SC-FDMA), and other systems. The terms “system” and “network” in the embodiments of this application are usually used interchangeably. The described technologies may be used for the foregoing systems and radio technologies, and may also be used for other systems and radio technologies. However, in the following descriptions, the new radio (NR) system is described for an illustrative purpose, and NR terms are used in most of the following descriptions. These technologies may also be applied to other systems than the NR system, for example, a 6th Generation (6G) communications system.
In R16, introduction of a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) can improve reliability of a system and increase resource utilization in the system. Time-frequency domain resources of the PSFCH and a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) or a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) satisfy a predefined mapping relationship, with limited transmission flexibility. In an unlicensed frequency band, resource positions of the PSFCH that are determined according to the PSSCH/PSCCH and a predefined rule may not be available for PSFCH transmission due to presence of other systems that preempt resources.
When unicast information is transmitted on an SL, a receive end may be enabled to feed back CSI information, and a transmit end adjusts transmission parameters based on the CSI information. In the unlicensed frequency band, a resource for feeding back the CSI information also needs to be obtained through resource contention and preemption with other systems coexisting in the frequency band.
The SL feedback resource in the unlicensed frequency band has limited flexibility, and may not be available for feedback information transmission. Consequently, the following problems occur: Channel access efficiency of UE is low, and a requirement for occupying a channel bandwidth in the unlicensed frequency band cannot be satisfied.
A method and an apparatus for determining a sidelink feedback resource, UE, and a storage medium provided in the embodiments of this application are hereinafter described in detail by using some embodiments and application scenarios thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Step 200: First UE determines a sidelink SL feedback resource, where the SL feedback resource is used by the first UE to send feedback information.
Optionally, the first UE is a PSSCH or PSCCH receiving-side device, or a feedback-information transmitting-side device.
The first UE determines the sidelink SL feedback resource, where the SL feedback resource is used by the first UE to send the feedback information.
Optionally, the sidelink SL feedback resource is determined by at least one of a protocol predefinition, a preconfiguration, a configuration, or an indication.
It should be noted that the preconfiguration means a preconfiguration by a network-side device by using RRC signaling, or a preconfiguration by the UE by using RRC signaling; the configuration means a configuration by the network-side device by using RRC signaling, or a configuration by the UE by using RRC signaling; and the indication means an indication by at least one of a MAC CE, DCI, and SCI, where the network-side device provides the indication by using a MAC CE and/or DCI, or the UE provides the indication by using a MAC CE and/or SCI.

In this embodiment of this application, the sidelink SL feedback resource is determined, the SL feedback resource is used by the first UE to send the feedback information, and the feedback resource is determined by the UE. Therefore, flexibility of resource scheduling is improved, and channel access efficiency of the UE can be improved. In this way, the feedback information is sent in an unlicensed frequency band, and system efficiency is improved.
Optionally, the sidelink SL feedback resource satisfies at least one of the following:
That the SL feedback resource is a distributed resource may be understood as “the SL feedback resource is transmitted based on a distributed structure, or based on a resource allocated discontinuously in frequency domain”.
The localized resource may be understood as a resource continuously allocated in frequency domain.
In some optional embodiments, in a case that the SL feedback resource is a distributed resource, the determining a sidelink SL feedback resource includes at least one of the following:
Optionally, the bandwidth occupied by the SL feedback resource includes at least one of the following:
The bandwidth of the PSCCH or the bandwidth of the PSSCH is the bandwidth of the PSCCH or the PSSCH corresponding to the feedback information, and indicates that a frequency domain range between a smallest resource number and a largest resource number is available.
Considering a position of successful PSSCH or PSCCH access, a probability of successful access of the feedback information is also higher. In an implementation, the bandwidth occupied by the SL feedback resource is a subset of frequency domain of the PSCCH or a subset of frequency domain of the PSSCH.
A resource block (RB) set is a listen before talk (LBT) bandwidth. A plurality of RB sets refer to a plurality of LBT bandwidths, which may be a wideband operation.
The RB set is a minimum detection granularity defined in an unlicensed frequency band.
Optionally, the frequency domain resource granularity occupied by the SL feedback resource includes at least one of the following:
A physical resource block (PRB) may be understood as a structure of an interlace.
For example, at predefined 15 kHz, there are 10 interlaces, and within each interlace, one PRB is occupied; at predefined 30 kHz, there are 5 interlaces, and within each interlace, one PRB is occupied.
Alternatively, a total of two PRBs are used for transmission, at start RB and end RB positions of the bandwidth.

Optionally, the slot number or the slot quantity satisfies:
For example, I_num=Interlace number, or the interlace number is an integer multiple of I_num, or I_num is an integer multiple of the interlace number. For the second relationship, a PSFCH corresponding to a plurality of interlaces may be sent in a candidate slot.

That the frequency domain resource position of the SL feedback resource is a parameter randomly selected within a preconfigured range includes at least one of the following:
Optionally, the slot number or the slot quantity satisfies:
Optionally, the UE ID is at least one of the following:
In some other optional embodiments, that the SL feedback resource is determined based on resource allocation or a resource structure of a physical sidelink control channel PSCCH and/or a physical sidelink shared channel PSSCH satisfies at least one of the following:
In an implementation, in a case that the resource allocation mode used by the PSCCH/PSSCH is distributed resource allocation, the SL feedback resource uses distributed resource allocation. Alternatively, in a case that a resource used by the PSCCH/PSSCH is a distributed resource, the SL feedback resource is a distributed resource.
In an implementation, in a case that the resource allocation mode used by the PSCCH/PSSCH is localized resource allocation, the SL feedback resource uses localized resource allocation. Alternatively, in a case that a resource used by the PSCCH/PSSCH is a localized resource, the SL feedback resource is a localized resource.
Optionally, if the PSSCH/PSCCH uses continuous resource allocation, that is, localized resource allocation, the SL feedback resource and the PSSCH/PSCCH have a same frequency domain range.
Optionally, if the PSSCH/PSCCH uses interlaced based resource allocation, that is, distributed resource allocation, the SL feedback resource and the PSSCH/PSCCH have a same frequency domain range.
Optionally, if the PSSCH/PSCCH uses interlaced based resource allocation, the SL feedback resource is within a frequency domain range of the PSSCH/PSCCH.
In an implementation, in a case that a resource of the PSCCH and/or PSSCH is a localized resource, the SL feedback resource may be a localized resource or a distributed resource. Optionally, whether the SL feedback resource is a localized resource or a distributed resource is determined by a preconfiguration, a configuration, or an indication. The indication may be a MAC CE indication, and/or a DCI indication, and/or an SCI indication.
In this embodiment of this application, the sidelink SL feedback resource is determined, the SL feedback resource is used by the first UE to send the feedback information, the feedback resource is determined by the UE, and the feedback resource may be a distributed resource or a localized resource, or allocation of the feedback resource is determined based on resource allocation of the PSCCH and/or PSSCH. Therefore, channel access efficiency of the UE can be improved. In this way, the feedback information is sent in the unlicensed frequency band, and system efficiency is improved.
In some optional embodiments, a sequence of the feedback information satisfies at least one of the following:
The resource of the feedback information is reflected by the sequence of the feedback information.
In an implementation, the feedback information is transmitted by using a sequence with a sequence length of N, and a value of N is related to an SCS configuration. For example, 15 kHz corresponds to N1, and 30 kHz corresponds to N2. In interlaced based resource allocation, PSFCH information defined by N1 or N2 can cover a part (10 PRBs or 5 PRBs) of frequency domain resources, and a capacity of the PSFCH information can be expanded.
In an implementation, the feedback information is transmitted by using a sequence with a sequence length of N, and a length of N is related to an available resource. In this case, the sequence length first matches a frequency domain resource that possibly changes, to generate the sequence. For example, for a resource with an interlace of 10 PRBs, the sequence length is length N1=10×m, and for a resource with an interlace of 11 PRBs, the sequence length is length N1=11×m. A sequence of 10×m to (11×m−1) is a repetition of a sequence of 9×m to (10×m−1).
In an implementation, the feedback information is detected by feedback-information receiving-side device based on a predefined or preconfigured sequence length. For example, if the sequence length of the feedback information is 11×m and a predefined detection sequence length is 10×m, a feedback information receive end detects the sequence based on 10×m. Sequence generation at a transmit end and sequence detection at a receive end need to be defined separately in this method.
In this embodiment of this application, the sidelink SL feedback resource is determined, the SL feedback resource is used by the first UE to send the feedback information, and the SL feedback resource is determined by the sequence of the feedback information. Therefore, channel access efficiency of the UE can be improved. In this way, the feedback information is sent in the unlicensed frequency band, and system efficiency is improved.
In some optional embodiments, a resource mapping of the feedback information satisfies at least one of the following:
In an implementation, a feedback information sequence is mapped from a lowest PRB of a frequency domain resource. Optionally, if the sequence is mapped to PRB 1 to PRB n, and there are N PRBs remaining in the frequency domain resource, a sequence within the remaining frequency domain resource is a repetition of the sequence of the first n PRBs. N may be greater than, equal to, or less than n. If N>n, the sequence is a plurality of repetitions of the sequence of the first n PRBs, and the repetitions may be complete or partial repetitions. If N<n, the sequence is a partial repetition of the sequence of the first n PRBs. If N=n, the sequence is a repetition of the sequence of the first n PRBs.
In an implementation, based on a case that the PSFCH occupies one PRB and that the remaining PRBs are repetitions, a feedback information sequence on each PRB is a repetition of the feedback information sequence.
In an implementation, the resource mapping of the feedback information is related to an interlace index. For example, at 15 kHz, interlaces 0 to 5 correspond to 11 PRBs, interlaces 6 to 9 correspond to 10 PRBs, and for interlaces 0 to 5, a predefined PSFCH length N1 is mapped, and the last PRB is a repeated mapping of the tenth PRB.
In this embodiment of this application, the sidelink SL feedback resource is determined, and the mapping of the feedback information sequence is determined. Therefore, channel access efficiency of the UE can be improved. In this way, the feedback information is sent in the unlicensed frequency band, and system efficiency is improved.
The method for determining a sidelink feedback resource according to the embodiments of this application is further described below by using some examples.
If the frequency domain resource spacing is a gap between two adjacent frequency domain resource granularities, resource occupancy of a PSFCH in frequency domain when the frequency domain resource spacing is defined as 3 PRBs and a scheduling granularity is defined as 2 PRBs is shown in
If the frequency domain resource spacing is a spacing of two adjacent frequency domain resource granularities, resource occupancy of a PSFCH in frequency domain when the frequency domain resource spacing is defined as 5 PRBs and a scheduling granularity is defined as 2 PRBs is shown in
Defining the gap between frequency domains facilitates IBE control/reduction.

If the frequency domain resource spacing is a spacing of two adjacent frequency domain resource granularities, resource occupancy of a PSFCH in frequency domain when the frequency domain resource spacing is defined as 50 PRBs and 2 PRBs are scheduled is shown in
The PSFCH uses an RE based interlace structure. The PSFCH occupies one or more REs in a PRB, and the REs may use continuous or discontinuous resource allocation. If one RE is occupied in a PRB, resources of one PSFCH are shown in
Step 1100: A feedback-information receiving-side device detects or receives feedback information on a sidelink SL feedback resource, where the SL feedback resource is used by first UE to send the feedback information.
Optionally, the feedback-information receiving-side device may be second UE, scheduling UE, or a network-side device.

Optionally, the scheduling UE may be header UE header UE for controlling data transmission and reception of a pair of UEs.
Optionally, the scheduling UE may be a device sending a PSSCH and/or PSCCH, or a device controlling UE or header UE to send a PSSCH and/or PSCCH, or a device authorizing UE to send a PSSCH and/or PSCCH.
Optionally, the feedback-information receiving-side device determines the sidelink SL feedback resource by using at least one of a protocol predefinition, a preconfiguration, a configuration, or an indication.
It should be noted that the preconfiguration means a preconfiguration by a network-side device by using RRC signaling, or a preconfiguration by the UE by using RRC signaling; the configuration means a configuration by the network-side device by using RRC signaling, or a configuration by the UE by using RRC signaling; and the indication means an indication by at least one of a MAC CE, DCI, or SCI, where the network-side device provides the indication by using a MAC CE and/or DCI, and the UE provides the indication by using a MAC CE and/or SCI.
