## Abstract

This application discloses a communication method and a related product. The method includes: sending a first message, where the first message includes a first link configuration parameter, and the first link configuration parameter is used to establish a first link; and receiving a first acknowledgement message sent by a second user terminal, where the first acknowledgement message is used to indicate that the second user terminal completes establishment of the first link to the first user terminal.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A communication method performed by a first user terminal, comprising:
determining a first communication resource pool set specifying a plurality of first communication resource pools, wherein the first communication resource pool set is used to determine a first link configuration parameter;
sending a first message using the first communication resource pool set, wherein the first message comprises the first link configuration parameter, and the first link configuration parameter is used to establish a first link;
receiving a first acknowledgement message sent by a second user terminal, wherein the first acknowledgement message is used to indicate that the second user terminal completes establishment of the first link to the first user terminal;
sending a second message to the second user terminal through the first link, wherein the second message comprises a second link configuration parameter, and the second link configuration parameter is used to establish a second link;
receiving a second acknowledgement message sent by the second user terminal, wherein the second acknowledgement message is used to indicate that the second user terminal completes establishment of the second link to the first user terminal; and
communicating with the second user terminal through the second link,
wherein the first link is a link different than the second link.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein before the sending the first message, the method further comprises:
receiving a first configuration message sent by an access network device, wherein the first configuration message comprises the first communication resource pool set.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The method according to claim 2, wherein the first configuration message comprises one of first system information or a first radio resource control connection reconfiguration message.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein before the sending the second message to the second user terminal through the first link, the method further comprises:
receiving a second configuration message sent by an access network device, wherein the second configuration message comprises a second communication resource pool set, and the second communication resource pool set is used to determine the second link configuration parameter.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The method according to claim 4, wherein the second configuration message comprises one of a second system information or a second radio resource control connection reconfiguration message.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein the first communication resource pool set comprises a first carrier aggregation configuration, the first carrier aggregation configuration comprises one or more frequency bands of a first carrier, and each frequency band of the first carrier is a licensed frequency band below 6 GHz in New Radio.

### Claim 7

A communication method performed by a second user terminal, comprising:
blindly searching for a first message sent by a first user terminal, wherein the first message comprises a first link configuration parameter, and the first link configuration parameter is used to establish a first link, wherein the first message is received at one of a plurality of first communication resource pools specified by a first communication resource pool set and the first communication resource pool set is used to determine the first link configuration parameter;
sending a first acknowledgement message to the first user terminal, wherein the first acknowledgement message is used to indicate that the second user terminal completes establishment of the first link to the first user terminal;
receiving a second message sent by the first user terminal through the first link, wherein the second message comprises a second link configuration parameter, and the second link configuration parameter is used to establish a second link;
sending a second acknowledgement message to the first user terminal, wherein the second acknowledgement message is used to indicate that the second user terminal completes establishment of the second link to the first user terminal; and
communicating with the first user terminal through the second link,
wherein the first link is a link different than the second link.

### Claim 8

A communication method performed in a communications system that comprises a first user terminal, a second user terminal, and an access network device, wherein the method comprises:
determining, by the first user terminal, a first communication resource pool set specifying a plurality of first communication resource pools, wherein the first communication resource pool set is used to determine a first link configuration parameter;
sending, by the first user terminal, a first message using the first communication resource pool set, wherein the first message comprises the first link configuration parameter, and the first link configuration parameter is used to establish a first link;
blindly searching, by the second user terminal, for the first message;
sending, by the second user terminal, a first acknowledgement message to the first user terminal, wherein the first acknowledgement message is used to indicate that the second user terminal completes establishment of the first link to the first user terminal;
sending, by the first user terminal, a second message to the second user terminal, wherein the second message comprises a second link configuration parameter, and the second link configuration parameter is used to establish a second link;
sending, by the second user terminal, a second acknowledgement message to the first user terminal, wherein the second acknowledgement message is used to indicate that the second user terminal completes establishment of the second link to the first user terminal; and
communicating, by the first user terminal, with the second user terminal through the second link,
wherein the first link is a link different than the second link.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The method according to claim 8, wherein before the sending, by the first user terminal, the first message, the method further comprises:
sending, by the access network device, a first configuration message to the first user terminal, wherein the first configuration message comprises the first communication resource pool set.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The method according to claim 9, wherein the first communication resource pool set comprises a first carrier aggregation configuration, the first carrier aggregation configuration comprises one or more frequency bands of a first carrier, and each frequency band of the first carrier is a licensed frequency band below 6 GHz in New Radio.

### Claim 11 (depends on 9)

The method according to claim 9, wherein the first configuration message comprises one of first system information or a first radio resource control connection reconfiguration message.

### Claim 12 (depends on 8)

The method according to claim 8, wherein before the sending, by the first user terminal, the second message to the second user terminal, the method further comprises:
sending, by the access network device, a second configuration message to the first user terminal, wherein the second configuration message comprises a second communication resource pool set, and the second communication resource pool set is used to determine the second link configuration parameter.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The method according to claim 12, wherein the second configuration message comprises one of second system information or a second radio resource control connection reconfiguration message.
