Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart of a resource pool switching method provided in an embodiment of the present application, where the resource pool switching method is executed by a first terminal, and includes:

step 201, under the condition that the current resource pool of the first terminal is determined to be switched according to the received first indication information and/or according to the pre-configuration, switching the current resource pool of the first terminal to a target resource pool.

The first terminal supports resource pool switching. The above steps may include the following: under the condition that the current resource pool of the first terminal is determined to be switched according to the received first indication information, the current resource pool of the first terminal is switched to a target resource pool, for example, the first indication information comprises resource information of the target resource pool, and the first terminal determines the target resource pool to be switched according to the first indication information;

or, according to the preconfiguration, switching the current resource pool of the first terminal to the target resource pool when determining that the current resource pool of the first terminal is switched, for example, switching the target resource pool determined according to the preconfiguration when the first terminal determines that the resource pool is required to be switched;

or, when determining to switch the current resource pool of the first terminal according to the received first indication information and according to the preconfiguration, the current resource pool of the first terminal is switched to the target resource pool, for example, when the first indication information indicates that the first terminal switches resources, the first terminal may determine that the target resource pool is switched according to the preconfiguration.

The first indication information can be sent to the first terminal by the second terminal, the control node and the network side device. The preconfiguration may be predefined for the protocol; configuring or pre-configuring network side equipment; the first terminal configuration or pre-configuration, etc.

In this embodiment, switching the current resource pool of the first terminal to the target resource pool, that is, switching the current resource pool of the first terminal to the target resource pool, may be understood as an action that the first terminal completes the switching.

In this embodiment, the first terminal may determine whether to perform resource pool switching according to the first indication information and/or according to the pre-configuration, and switch the current resource pool of the first terminal to the target resource pool when determining to perform resource pool switching, so that the first terminal may switch the current resource pool, flexibly select the resource pool used by the first terminal, improve the performance of the resource pool used by the first terminal at different times, and enable the first terminal to obtain the optimal performance at different times.

In the above, the first indication information includes at least one of:

an identification of the target resource pool;

frequency point information related to the target resource pool.

The first indication Information is carried in at least one of Downlink Control Information (DCI), Sidelink Control Information (Sidelink Control Information SCI) and a high-level signaling, where the high-level signaling is Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling or Media Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE) signaling.

In the above, the identifier of the target resource pool may be indicated by a plurality of bits (bits).

In a case where the first indication information includes the target resource pool, the target resource pool is determined according to the first indication information.

In the above, the first indication information is indication information of multicast transmission, indication information of unicast transmission, indication information of broadcast transmission, or dedicated indication information.

In the foregoing, switching the current resource pool of the first terminal to the target resource pool includes:

if the current resource pool of the first terminal meets at least one of the following conditions, switching the current resource pool of the first terminal into a target resource pool according to the pre-configuration of the first terminal:

a channel occupancy rate (CR) of the current resource pool is greater than a first threshold value;

a Channel Busy Rate (CBR) of the current resource pool is greater than a second threshold;

the peak rate of the current resource pool is smaller than a third threshold value;

the CR of the target resource pool is not more than a first threshold value;

the CBR of the target resource pool is not greater than a second threshold value;

and the peak rate of the target resource pool is not less than a third threshold value.

In the above, the first threshold, the second threshold, and the third threshold may be set according to an actual situation, and are not limited herein. The CR, CBR, or peak rate of the target resource pool is superior to the CR, CBR, or peak rate of the current resource pool, and thus, after the first terminal switches the current resource pool to the target resource pool, the performance of data transmission performed by the first terminal on the target resource pool can be improved.

In an embodiment of the present application, the resource pool switching method further includes:

and sending the second indication information to at least one of a second terminal, a control node and network side equipment, wherein the second indication information is used for indicating the first terminal to be switched to a target resource pool.

The first terminal may send second indication information to a second terminal, a control node or a network side device communicating with the first terminal before the handover under the condition that the resource pool is handed over according to the pre-configuration, so as to inform the second terminal, the control node and the network side device of the target resource pool of the handover of the first terminal. In this way, after receiving the second indication information, the second terminal, the control node, and the network side device can perform data transceiving on the resources of the target resource pool in the subsequent data communication with the first terminal. After receiving the second indication information, the second terminal may also send feedback information to the first terminal to inform the first terminal that it has switched to the target resource pool.

The second indication information includes at least one of:

an identification of the target resource pool;

frequency point information related to the target resource pool.

The second indication information is carried in at least one of DCI, SCI and high-level signaling, and the high-level signaling is RRC signaling or MAC CE signaling.

In one embodiment of the present application, the method further comprises:

and if the switching activation timer is up, suspending data receiving operation and/or data sending operation.

Optionally, the above process may be performed before switching the current resource pool of the first terminal to the target resource pool.

The first terminal may start the handover activation timer when receiving the first indication information, or the first terminal may start the handover activation timer when determining that the resource pool needs to be switched according to the received first indication information and/or according to a pre-configuration. And if the switching activation timer is up, suspending the data receiving operation and/or the data transmitting operation, and before the switching activation timer is up, the first terminal can continue to perform the data receiving operation and/or the data transmitting operation.

In one embodiment of the present application, the method further comprises:

starting a switching waiting timer;

and if the switching waiting timer fails, executing data receiving operation and/or data sending operation.

Optionally, the above process may be performed after the start of the handover activation timer and before the current resource pool of the first terminal is handed over to the target resource pool, for example, the handover waiting timer may be started before the handover timer expires or when the handover timer expires. The handover waiting timer is used to indicate that the first terminal may continue to perform the data receiving operation and/or the data transmitting operation.

In one embodiment of the present application, the method further comprises:

and sending switching information, wherein the switching information comprises at least one of resource information of the target resource pool, time for switching an activation timer, time for formally switching and time for switching a waiting timer.

Optionally, the foregoing process may be performed before the current resource pool of the first terminal is switched to the target resource pool, for example, after the first terminal receives the first indication information, or in a time period before the current resource pool of the first terminal is switched to the target resource pool after the first terminal determines to perform resource pool switching, processing related to resource switching may be performed, for example, a switching activation timer is started, a switching waiting timer is started, a time for formal switching is determined, and the like. The first terminal may send information related to resource switching, that is, switching information, to an opposite terminal, for example, at least one of the second terminal, the control node, and the network side device, which communicates with the first terminal.

In the above, after switching the current resource pool of the first terminal to the target resource pool, the method further includes:

and if response information aiming at the switching information is received, executing data receiving operation and/or data sending operation.

In an embodiment of the present application, in a case that it is determined to switch a current resource pool of the first terminal according to the received first indication information and/or according to a pre-configuration, switching the current resource pool of the first terminal to a target resource pool includes:

determining the target resource pool from a resource pool set of the first terminal under the condition of determining to switch the current resource pool of the first terminal according to the received first indication information and/or according to the pre-configuration of the first terminal, wherein the resource pool set comprises a plurality of resource pools;

and switching the current resource pool of the first terminal into the target resource pool.

The target resource pool may include one or at least two resource pools, and if the target resource pool includes at least two resource pools, the first terminal may simultaneously use resources in the multiple resource pools for data transmission, that is, use cross-resource pool transmission, under the condition that the first terminal supports simultaneous data transmission in the multiple resource pools.

And under the condition that the first terminal determines to switch the current resource pool, determining a target resource pool from a resource pool set of the first terminal, wherein the resource pool set comprises a plurality of resource pools.

Wherein the plurality of resource pools satisfy at least one of:

the time domain resources of at least two resource pools in the plurality of resource pools are the same, or the time domain resources are overlapped or partially overlapped;

frequency resources of different resource pools in the plurality of resource pools adopt frequency division multiplexing;

a periodicity of a first resource pool of the plurality of resource pools is greater than a first time threshold;

the number of time domain resources of a first resource pool of the plurality of resource pools in the period is less than a first number threshold.

In the above, the resource pools in the resource pool set may be predefined by a protocol, configured or preconfigured by a network side device, configured or preconfigured by the first terminal, and the like. The time domain resources of at least two of the resource pools are the same, or the time domain resources are overlapped or partially overlapped, for example, the time slots (slots) corresponding to the bits indicated by 1 in the resource pool configuration bitmap (bitmap) are partially or completely the same.

The frequency domain resources of different resource pools exist in the form of frequency division multiplexing. The starting position of the frequency resource of different resource pools which adopt frequency division multiplexing is determined by at least one of the following modes:

a start position parameter indication configured and/or preconfigured by higher layers, e.g., sl _ StartRB-Subchannel parameter;

a starting Physical Resource Block (PRB) of a next Resource pool in the frequency domain is an mth PRB after the previous Resource pool is ended, m is a positive integer, m is determined by a high layer signaling, for example, m is predefined, configured, or preconfigured by the high layer signaling, and the next Resource pool and the previous Resource pool are different Resource pools adopting frequency division multiplexing in the multiple Resource pools.

For a terminal supporting power saving, a resource pool with a longer period (for example, the period is greater than 1024ms) and/or sparse resources (for example, the number of time domain resources in the period is less than a first number threshold, and/or the interval between two time domain resources is not less than a first time threshold) may be set.

In an embodiment of the present application, in a case that it is determined to switch a current resource pool of a first terminal according to received first indication information, switching the current resource pool of the first terminal to a target resource pool includes:

and switching the current resource pool of the first terminal to a default resource pool when the first terminal does not include the target resource pool indicated by the first indication information, that is, the resource pool set of the first terminal does not include the target resource pool.

The default resource pool may be determined by protocol pre-definition, or by network side device configuration or pre-configuration, or by first terminal configuration or pre-configuration.

In an embodiment of the present application, the resource switching method further includes: under the condition that the first terminal does not comprise the target resource pool indicated by the first indication information according to the received first indication information, the current resource pool of the first terminal is not switched;

or,

and under the condition that the current resource pool of the first terminal is determined to be the same as the target resource pool indicated by the first indication information according to the received first indication information, not switching the current resource pool of the first terminal.

In the foregoing, if the first terminal does not include the target resource pool indicated by the first indication information, that is, the first terminal does not include the target resource pool in the resource pool set of the first terminal, or the current resource pool of the first terminal is the same as the target resource pool indicated by the first indication information, the first terminal does not perform handover on the current resource pool.

In the above, after the switching the current resource pool of the first terminal to the target resource pool, the method further includes:

and carrying out data transmission by adopting the target resources in the target resource pool. Wherein the target resource is a resource in the plurality of resource pools except for the following resources:

and the resource with the Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) larger than the preset threshold value in the reserved resources of other terminals. The other terminals do not include the first terminal. The first indication information is jointly encoded with resource reservation information of other terminals.

And the reserved resources are subjected to joint detection and/or resource exclusion determination in the plurality of resource pools by the first terminal.

When the first terminal detects in multiple resource pools, it may perform independent detection (sensing), resource exclusion, etc. on each resource pool, and then (in order to schedule resources of multiple resource pools with one SCI or facilitate cross-resource-pool transmission in other forms), perform resource selection jointly across resource pools, and/or select resources to perform cross-resource-pool transmission.

For example: the first terminal detects in the first resource pool to obtain a first detection result; and detecting in the second resource pool to obtain a second detection result, and detecting each resource pool in sequence to obtain a corresponding detection result. And selecting resources from the plurality of resource pools according to the detection result and the resource exclusion result of each resource pool.

Optionally, in order to detect the condition of reserving resources across the resource pool, performing joint detection across the resource pool, removing the joint resources, establishing a joint candidate resource set, performing resource selection jointly, and/or selecting resources to perform transmission across the resource pool. The first terminal performs joint detection in the multiple resource pools, excludes reserved resources in the same resource pool and/or across resource pools, and/or performs resource selection in the multiple resource pools (some or all of the multiple resource pools can be selected) according to the detection result and the resource exclusion result of the resource pools.

When the candidate resources are limited by power, and/or the capacity of the transmission quantity of a plurality of resource pools, and/or the capacity of transmission across the resource pools, and/or the Radio Frequency (RF) chain related limitation, the candidate resources on other parts or all resource pools on the subframe where the transmission resources are located on a certain resource pool are excluded.

If the plurality of resource pools include reserved resources on different resource pools, the SCI may carry resource information of one or more resource pools where the reserved resources are located.

In the above, the reserved resources include resources reserved across resource pools in the multiple resource pools by other terminals.

In the above, the target resource is a resource in a current time domain resource in the multiple resource pools; or, the target resource is a resource in which time domain resources in the multiple resource pools are the same or overlapped.

In the above, the target resource pool includes N resource pools of the plurality of resource pools;

the data transmission by using the target resource in the target resource pool includes:

performing data transmission by adopting a target resource in the N resource pools scheduled by the SCI;

or,

target resources in the N resource pools which are respectively scheduled by the N SCIs are adopted for data transmission;

n is an integer greater than 1.

When the target resources in the N resource pools scheduled by one SCI are used for data transmission, the target resources in the N resource pools scheduled by one SCI can be used for data transmission of the same service. Similarly, the target resources in the N resource pools respectively scheduled by the N SCIs are used for data transmission, and the target resources in the N resource pools respectively scheduled by the N SCIs can also be used for transmitting the same service data.

In order that SCI of one resource pool can schedule resources of multiple resource pools (as in the embodiment shown in fig. 3 a), resources with the same time domain on multiple resource pools (some or all of the multiple resource pools may be selected) or time domain resources with time overlap are selected;

if data is transmitted in multiple resource pools simultaneously, one SCI may schedule resources of multiple resource pools simultaneously for transmission, or multiple SCIs may each schedule resources of one resource pool for transmission when the SCIs indicate a correlation (as in the embodiment shown in fig. 3b, multiple resource pools transmit data/TBs belonging to one service): in the foregoing, when data transmission is performed through a target resource in the N resource pools scheduled by one SCI, the SCI corresponding to a physical Sidelink Share Channel (psch) of a second resource pool in the N resource pools carries third indication information, where the third indication information is used to indicate that cross-resource pool transmission is performed by using the N resource pools. And the other resource pools except the second resource pool in the N resource pools are used for transmitting the PSSCH, or are used for transmitting the PSSCH and the SCI. That is to say, the SCI corresponding to the psch in one resource pool carries third indication information indicating multiple resource pools that are scheduled at the same time, and performs cross-resource pool transmission, and other scheduled resource pools may only transmit the psch, or transmit the SCI and the psch. In the foregoing, when data transmission is performed through target resources in the N resource pools respectively scheduled by N SCIs, the SCI corresponding to the PSSCH of each third resource pool in the N resource pools carries fourth indication information, where the fourth indication information is used to indicate that transmission on the third resource pool belongs to cross-resource-pool transmission.

In the above, the SCI corresponding to the psch of each resource pool carries fourth indication information indicating that transmissions on multiple resource pools are related, that is, indicating that the transmissions on the resource pool belong to the current cross-resource pool;

in the foregoing, when the target resource in the N resource pools is used for data transmission, the transmit power of the fourth resource pool in the N resource pools is adjusted.

Wherein the fourth resource pool is determined according to the following manner:

determining the priority of a data packet sent by one or more resource pools in the N resource pools; or, determined by the first terminal.

When the first terminal is limited by power and cannot transmit full power on a plurality of resource pools simultaneously, the transmission power on the resource pool where the data packets (packets) with lower priority are located can be adjusted according to the priority, so that the total transmission power meets the power limitation condition. That is, the fourth resource pool may be a resource pool with the smallest priority of the data packets sent in the N resource pools, or the fourth resource pool may be a resource pool with the priority of the data packets sent in the N resource pools being smaller than the preset priority threshold.

If the priorities of the data packets sent by a plurality of resource pools in the N resource pools are the same, the first terminal determines which resource pool to adjust the sending power first so that the total sending power meets the power limiting condition. The above process is exemplified below.

If UE a (i.e., a first terminal) communicates with UE B (i.e., a second terminal), UE B desires UE a to switch a resource pool, for example, to a resource pool capable of high data rate communication, or detects that the current resource pool of the first terminal is insufficient in available resources, UE B sends first indication information to UE a to indicate UE a to perform resource pool switching, where the first indication information may be carried in DCI, SCI, or higher layer signaling.

After receiving the first indication information, the UE A starts a switching activation timer;

UE A carries one or more of the identifier of the switched target resource pool, the time for switching the activation timer, the time for formal switching and the time for switching the waiting timer in SCI and sends the SCI to UE B;

UE A does not continue to execute receiving operation in the symbol or time slot after the switching activation timer is up until the switching waiting timer is invalid or the high-level signaling indicates that the switching operation is finished;

the UE a does not continue to perform the sending operation until the handover waiting timer expires and/or the feedback of the UE B is received.

After receiving the SCI of UE a regarding resource pool switching, UE B continues to communicate with UE a until the time of the switching activation timer expires.

After the formal switching time or a period of time notified by UE a (if UE a does not notify the switching time information, UE B decides the switching time itself), the resource pool communicated with UE a is adjusted according to the indication information in SCI, and after the time of the switching waiting timer or a period of time, the transmission and/or reception operation related to UE a is continuously performed. In addition, UE B may also send feedback to UE a about resource pool switching, informing UE a that it has switched the resource pool.

In the above, after receiving the first indication information, the UE a performs the handover after a time t, where the time t is a time length of the handover activation timer, and the time length is related to a processing time length of the current data packet and/or an RF chain processing time.

The first terminal may perform a resource pool switch based on a power saving purpose. If the current resource pool of the first terminal is P1, if the first terminal needs to save power, P1 may be a resource pool with a longer period but sparse resources. When the first terminal needs a large amount of resources for data transmission when the service arrives, the P1 can be switched to another resource pool P2 with more available resources according to the DCI/SCI/higher layer signaling indication. If the service is finished, the first terminal does not need a large amount of resources any more, and in order to reduce energy consumption, the first terminal needs to switch to a power-saving resource pool, and the resource pool can be switched again. The first terminal may perform resource pool switching according to the received DCI/SCI/high layer signaling, or the first terminal itself decides to switch from one resource pool to another resource pool (in this case, the first terminal determines the target resource pool according to the pre-configuration).

As shown in fig. 3a, when the first terminal receives the first indication information at time t1 or decides to switch the resource pool, the first terminal starts a switch activation timer. And after the switching activation timer expires, namely at time t2, formally executing a switching action, stopping receiving and sending data, and starting a switching waiting timer. After the handover waiting timer or after receiving the higher layer signaling to indicate the terminal to complete the handover operation, it is determined that the terminal is handed over to the destination resource pool, which is time t 3. The first terminal starts to perform operations of transceiving data and the like on the new resource pool (i.e., the target resource pool).

Fig. 3b shows that one PSCCH schedules multiple resource pools for cross-resource pool transmission. The first terminal uses three resource pools to transmit the same service data. The method comprises the steps that a first terminal carries out cross-resource pool joint detection (sending) in a plurality of resource pools, whether resource reservation information of the same resource pool and the cross-resource pool exists or not is detected, a joint detection result is obtained, occupied resources are eliminated in a unified mode, and a total candidate resource set is obtained. And the three resource pools are combined to select resources, and the same or overlapped time domain resources on the three resource pools are selected.

As shown in fig. 3b, when transmission is performed, SCI corresponding to PSSCH in P2 carries resources in other two P1 and P3 scheduled for cross-resource pool transmission. Time domain resources and/or some necessary configurations on transmission resources in P1 and P3 remain the same as in P2, and transmissions on P1 and P3 may not carry a PSCCH, with scheduling being collectively indicated by the PSCCH on P2.

Fig. 3c shows that each of the PSCCHs schedules each resource pool for cross-resource pool transmission. The first terminal uses three resource pools to transmit the same service data. The first terminal performs independent detection (sending) in a plurality of resource pools: the method comprises the steps that a first terminal detects in a first resource pool to obtain a first detection result, detects in a second resource pool to obtain a second detection result, detects in a third resource pool to obtain a third detection result and the like, then independent resource exclusion is carried out, respective candidate resource sets are established (here, joint detection (sensing), resource exclusion and candidate resource set establishment can be carried out in the same way), and finally (for convenience, SCI indicates that transmission on a plurality of resource pools has correlation relations or the same service data or the same TB and the like) resource selection is carried out in a cross-resource-pool joint mode.

When transmission is performed, the three resource pools are not limited to select the same or overlapped time-frequency resources, so that transmission on each pool needs to carry SCI information, and separate indications are performed on resource selection and configuration related to transmission on the resource pool, such as Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS), Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) configuration, and the like. SCIs carried by transmissions on two resource pools that are transmitted later in time carry additional indication information pointing to the earliest transmission to indicate that the transmissions on the two resource pools also belong to the cross-resource pool transmission, which is not limited to the related indication in time, but may also be an indication in other domains or related relationships.

Fig. 3d shows that the first terminal may perform resource reservation across resource pools when configuring multiple resource pool transmission. The first terminal may reserve resources on resource pool P1 across resource pools as indicated by SCI in case P2 is scarce in resources or saves control signaling overhead on another resource pool, etc. At this time, the SCI needs to carry resource information of a destination resource pool that reserves resources across resource pools, such as a resource pool identifier.

In fig. 3b and 3c, n can be understood as the time at which the resource selection is triggered.

According to the resource pool switching method, the first terminal can be switched among different resource pools, and the terminal can be expected to obtain the optimal performance at different moments. In addition, since the first terminal may transmit in multiple resource pools at a time, the peak rate of the first terminal may be increased.

The first terminal may send information related to resource switching, that is, switching information, to an opposite terminal, for example, at least one of the second terminal, the control node, and the network side device, which communicates with the first terminal. And after receiving the switching information, the second terminal, the control node or the network side equipment sends response information to the first terminal.
