Method for implementing user equipment cooperation and apparatus

A method for implementing user equipment cooperation by a first user equipment, the method comprising:

• receiving, by the first user equipment, cooperative control information sent by an access network device;
• and
• performing, by the first user equipment, based on the cooperative control information, sidelink transmission in a first transmission unit of a first subframe and uplink transmission in a second transmission unit of the first subframe, wherein the first transmission unit is adjacent to the second transmission unit, and the sidelink transmission comprises that the first user equipment sends feedback information to a second user equipment.

An access network device, comprising a processing unit and a communications unit, wherein

• the processing unit is configured to generate cooperative control information, wherein the cooperative control information is used to instruct a first user equipment to perform sidelink transmission in a first transmission unit of a first subframe and perform uplink transmission in a second transmission unit of the first subframe, the first transmission unit is adjacent to the second transmission unit, and the sidelink transmission comprises that the first user equipment sends feedback information to a second user equipment;
• and
• the communications unit is configured to send the cooperative control information to the first user equipment and the second user equipment.

A first user equipment comprising a communications unit, wherein

• the communications unit is configured to receive cooperative control information sent by an access network device;
• and
• the communications unit is further configured to perform, based on the cooperative control information, sidelink transmission in a first transmission unit of a first subframe and uplink transmission in a second transmission unit of the first subframe, wherein the first transmission unit is adjacent to the second transmission unit, and the sidelink transmission comprises that the first user equipment sends feedback information to a second user equipment.
