US 12,004,205 B2 · Sidelink communication method, network device, and terminal device

Abstract

This application provides a sidelink communication method, a terminal device, and a network device. In the sidelink communication method, a network device determines downlink control information. The downlink control information carries first indication information. The first indication information is used to indicate slot formats respectively corresponding to the terminal devices in K terminal device pairs. A terminal device pair is two terminal devices performing sidelink communication between themselves. K is a positive integer. The network device sends the downlink control information. In the technical solutions provided in this application, the network device may configure a slot format for the terminal devices in the terminal device pairs.

Dependent claims

A method, comprising:

receiving, by a terminal device, downlink control information from a network device, wherein the downlink control information carries first indication information, the terminal device is one terminal device in K terminal device pairs, the first indication information indicates slot formats respectively corresponding to terminal devices in the K terminal device pairs, each terminal device pair comprises two terminal devices performing sidelink communication, and K is a positive integer, wherein a one-to-one correspondence between K information segments and the K terminal device pairs is either preconfigured or comprised in a second message received by the terminal device;
and
parsing, by the terminal device, the downlink control information.

An apparatus, comprising:

a memory storage comprising instructions;
and
one or more processors in communication with the memory storage, wherein execution of the instructions by the one or more processors causes the apparatus to:
determine downlink control information, wherein the downlink control information carries first indication information, the first indication information indicates slot formats respectively corresponding to terminal devices in K terminal device pairs, a terminal device pair is two terminal devices performing sidelink communication, and K is a positive integer, wherein a one-to-one correspondence between K information segments and the K terminal device pairs is either preconfigured or comprised in a second message sent by the apparatus;
and
send the downlink control information.
