- Certain standards or protocols (such as the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)) define two modes of sideline communication: a first mode and a second mode.
- the resources of the terminal device are allocated by the network device.
- the terminal device can send data on the sidelink according to the resources allocated by the network device.
- the network device can allocate resources for a single transmission to the terminal device, or it can allocate resources for semi-static transmission to the terminal device.
- This first mode can be applied to scenarios covered by network devices, such as the scenario shown in Figure 2 above. In the scenario shown in Figure 2, the terminal device 120a is within the network coverage of the network device 110, so the network device 110 can allocate resources used in the sidelink transmission process to the terminal device 120a.
- the terminal device can autonomously select one or more resources from a resource pool (RP). Then, the terminal device can perform side transmission according to the selected resources.

- the receiving terminal can be any terminal device around the transmitting terminal.

- NR-V2X new radio vehicle to everything
- autonomous driving places higher requirements on data interaction between vehicles.
- data interaction between vehicles requires higher throughput, lower latency, higher reliability, larger coverage, more flexible resource allocation methods, etc. Therefore, in order to improve the performance of data interaction between vehicles, NR-V2X introduces unicast transmission and multicast transmission.
- the receiving terminal generally has only one terminal device. Taking Figure 7 as an example, unicast transmission is performed between terminal device 1 and terminal device 2.
- Terminal device 1 can be a sending terminal
- terminal device 2 can be a receiving terminal
- terminal device 1 can be a receiving terminal
- terminal device 2 can be a sending terminal.
- the receiving terminal can be a terminal device in a communication group, or the receiving terminal can be a terminal device within a certain transmission distance.
- terminal device 1 terminal device 2, terminal device 3 and terminal device 4 constitute a communication group. If terminal device 1 sends data, the other terminal devices in the group (terminal device 2 to terminal device 4) can all be receiving terminals.
- the communication system may define a frame, subframe or time slot structure for sidelink communication.
- Some sidelink communication systems define multiple time slot structures.
- NR-V2X defines two time slot structures.
- One of the two time slot structures does not include a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH), see FIG9A ; the other of the two time slot structures includes a PSFCH, see FIG9B .
- PSFCH physical sidelink feedback channel
- the physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) in NR-V2X can start at the second sidelink symbol of the time slot in the time domain, and the PSCCH can occupy 2 or 3 symbols in the time domain (the symbols mentioned here can all refer to orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols).
- the PSCCH can occupy multiple PRBs in the frequency domain. For example, the number of PRBs occupied by the PSCCH can be selected from the following values: ⁇ 10, 12 15, 20, 25 ⁇ .
- the PSSCH in NR-V2X can use the second side symbol of the time slot as the starting position in the time domain.
- the last side symbol in the time slot is used as a guard period (GP), and the remaining symbols can be mapped to PSSCH.
- the first side symbol in the time slot can be a repetition of the second side symbol.
- the terminal device as the receiving end will use the first side symbol as a symbol for automatic gain control (AGC). Therefore, the data on the first side symbol is usually not used for data demodulation.
- PSSCH can occupy K subchannels in the frequency domain, and each subchannel can include M consecutive PRBs (the values of K and M can be predefined by the protocol, or preconfigured, or configured by the network device, or depend on the implementation of the terminal device).
- Fig. 9 B shows is the time slot structure including PSFCH, and this Fig. 9 B schematically gives the position of the symbol occupied by PSFCH, PSCCH and PSSCH in a time slot.
- the main difference between this time slot structure and Fig. 9 A is that the penultimate symbol and the penultimate symbol in the time slot are used to transmit PSFCH, and in addition, a symbol before the symbol used to transmit PSFCH is also used as GP.As can be seen from the time slot structure shown in Fig.
- the last symbol is used as GP
- the penultimate symbol is used for PSFCH transmission
- the data on the penultimate symbol is the same as the data of the penultimate symbol for PSFCH transmission, that is, the penultimate symbol is used as the symbol for AGC
- the penultimate symbol has the same effect as the last symbol, and is also used as GP.
- the first symbol in the time slot is used as AGC
- the data on this symbol is the same as the data on the second symbol in this time slot
- PSCCH occupies 3 symbols, and the remaining symbols can be used for PSSCH transmission.
- PSSCH can be used to carry 2nd stage SCI and data information.
- the format of the 2nd stage SCI can be, for example, SCI 2-A, SCI 2-B or SCI 2-C.
- the second-order SCI coding method can adopt a polar code-based coding method and be modulated by quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulation.
- QPSK quadrature phase shift keying
- the code rate of the second-order SCI can be dynamically adjusted within a certain range, and the code rate used by the second-order SCI can be indicated by the first-order SCI. Therefore, even if the code rate of the second-order SCI changes, the terminal device as the receiving end does not need to perform blind detection on the second-order SCI.
- the modulation symbol of the second-order SCI can start from the symbol where the first DM-RS of the PSSCH is located, and is mapped in the frequency domain first and then the time domain. In the symbol where the DM-RS is located, the second-order SCI can be mapped to the RE not occupied by the DM-RS. Taking Figure 10 as an example, the second-order SCI occupies symbols 1 to 4, and the second-order SCI shares symbol 1 with the first PSCCH DM-RS.
- the data information of PSSCH can be encoded using low density parity check (LDPC) code.
- LDPC low density parity check
- the highest modulation order currently supported by PSSCH is 256 quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM).
- the data information of PSSCH can adopt multiple different modulation and coding scheme (MCS) tables.
- MCS modulation and coding scheme
- the multiple different MCS tables may include, for example, a conventional 64QAM MCS table, a 256QAM MCS table, and a low spectrum efficiency 64QAM MCS table.
- the MCS table adopted by the terminal device as the transmitter can be indicated by the "MCS table indication" field in the first-order SCI.
- PSSCH In order to control the peak to average power ratio (PAPR), PSSCH usually needs to be sent on consecutive PRBs.
- the subchannel In the NR SL system, the subchannel is the minimum frequency domain resource granularity of PSSCH. Therefore, in order to control PAPR, the NR SL system usually requires PSSCH to occupy consecutive subchannels.
- PSSCH supports dual-stream transmission at most, and uses the unit matrix precoding matrix to map the data on the two transmission layers corresponding to the dual streams to two antenna ports.
- TB transmission block
- PSSCH adopts dual-stream transmission the modulation symbols of the second-order SCI on the two streams can be exactly the same. This design can ensure the reception performance of the second-order SCI in highly correlated channels.
- the maximum number of retransmissions of a PSSCH is 32. Therefore, if there are PSFCH resources in the resource pool and the configuration period of the PSFCH resources is 2 or 4, the number of available symbols in the time slot where the PSSCH is located may change for multiple transmissions of the same PSSCH.
- the PSSCH is transmitted for the nth time in time slot a and for the n+1th time in time slot b.
- there are PSFCH resources and their corresponding related resources such as AGC symbols and GP symbols corresponding to PSFCH, etc., see the description of Figure 9B for details
- the number of available symbols in the time slot is different in the nth transmission and the n+1th transmission.
- the change of available symbols in the time slot will cause the transmission block size (TBS) corresponding to the PSSCH to change. Therefore, in order to ensure that the TBS of PSSCH remains unchanged during multiple transmissions, the actual number of PSFCH symbols may not be used when calculating TBS. Instead, the number of PSFCH symbols used to calculate TBS may be determined based on the indication information in the first-order SCI. For a detailed description, see the description in the next section.
- PSSCH follows the TBS determination mechanism of the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in the NR system, that is, the TBS is determined according to the reference value of the number of REs used for PSSCH in the time slot where PSSCH is located, so that the actual code rate is as close to the target code rate as possible.
- PDSCH physical downlink shared channel
- PUSCH physical uplink shared channel
- the purpose of this is to ensure that the number of REs used to determine TBS during the PSSCH retransmission process remains unchanged, so that the TBS size determined by different transmission processes of PSSCH is the same.
- the reference value N RE of the number of REs occupied by PSSCH can be determined based on formula (1):
- nPRB represents the number of PRBs occupied by PSSCH. Indicates the number of REs occupied by the first-order SCI ( It may include the number of REs occupied by the DM-RS of the PSCCH), represents the number of REs occupied by the second-order SCI, and N′RE represents the number of reference REs that can be used for PSSCH in a PRB.
- N′RE can be determined based on the following formula (2):
- the value of can be configured by radio resource control (RRC) parameters. Indicates the average number of REs of the DM-RS pattern in one slot.
- RRC radio resource control
- the value of is related to the DM-RS pattern supported in the resource pool, as shown in Table 1. Referring to Table 1, when the DM-RS pattern includes three patterns ⁇ 2, 3, 4 ⁇ , The value of is 18, that is, the average number of REs of the three DM-RS patterns is 18.
- Table 1 DM-RS patterns allowed in a resource pool The corresponding relationship
- the DM-RS pattern of PSCCH is the same as the DM-RS pattern of PDCCH in the NR system, that is, DM-RS exists on every symbol of PSCCH and is located on the REs corresponding to ⁇ #1, #5, #9 ⁇ in a PRB in the frequency domain, as shown in Figure 12.
- the DM-RS sequence of PSCCH can be generated by formula (3):
- c(m) represents a pseudo-random sequence.
- the pseudo-random sequence can be initialized based on the following formula (4):
- l represents the index of the symbol where the DM-RS is located in the time slot. Indicates the index of the time slot where the DM-RS is located in the system frame. Indicates the number of symbols in a time slot. N ID ⁇ 0,1,...,65535 ⁇ . In a resource pool, the value of N ID can be configured or pre-configured by the network device.
- the PSSCH of the NR SL system draws on the design of the NR air interface (i.e., Uu interface), that is, multiple time-domain PSSCH DM-RS patterns are used.
- the number of available DM-RS patterns is related to the number of PSSCH symbols in the resource pool (including the first AGC symbol).
- the available DM-RS patterns and the position of each DM-RS symbol within the DM-RS pattern can be determined based on Table 2.
- Table 2 Number and position of DM-RS symbols in a time slot for different PSSCH and PSCCH symbol numbers
- the 4 DM-RS symbols occupy the 1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th symbol positions (or symbol indexes) in the time slot respectively.
- the specific DM-RS pattern used can be selected by the terminal device as the transmitting end and indicated in the first-order SCI.
- Such a design allows high-speed moving terminal devices to select high-density DM-RS patterns, thereby ensuring the accuracy of channel estimation; correspondingly, for low-speed moving terminal devices, low-density DM-RS patterns can be used to improve spectrum efficiency.
- the generation method of the PSSCH DM-RS sequence is similar to that of the PSCCH DM-RS sequence.
- the difference between the two lies in the value of N ID in the initialization formula of the pseudo-random sequence c(m) (corresponding to the formula (4) above).
- pi represents the i-th cyclic redundancy check (CRC) of the PSCCH that schedules the PSSCH
- L represents the number of bits of the PSCCH CRC
- the value of L is usually 24.
- PDSCH and PUSCH support two frequency domain DM-RS patterns, namely DM-RS frequency domain type 1 and DM-RS frequency domain type 2. Furthermore, for each frequency domain type of DM-RS, there are two different symbol types: single symbol and double symbol.
- Single symbol DM-RS frequency domain type 1 can support 4 DM-RS ports.
- Single symbol DM-RS frequency domain type 2 can support 6 DM-RS ports.
- the number of DM-RS ports supported by double symbol DM-RS frequency domain type 1 is twice the number of DM-RS ports supported by single symbol DM-RS frequency domain type 1.
- the number of DM-RS ports supported by double symbol DM-RS frequency domain type 2 is twice the number of DM-RS ports supported by single symbol DM-RS frequency domain type 2.
- the NR-V2X system supports SL CSI-RS.
- the NR-V2X system stipulates that SL CSI-RS will be sent only when the following three conditions are met.
- Condition 1 The terminal device needs to send the PSSCH corresponding to the SL CSI-RS, that is, the terminal device cannot only send the SL CSI-RS.
- Condition 3 when high-level signaling activates sidelink CSI reporting, the corresponding bit in the second-order SCI sent by the terminal device triggers the sidelink CSI reporting.
- the maximum number of ports supported by SL CSI-RS is 2.
- the SL CSI-RS of different ports are multiplexed on two adjacent REs of the same side symbol by code division.
- the number of SL CSI-RS of each port in a PRB is 1, that is, the density is 1. Therefore, in a PRB, SL CSI-RS will appear on at most one side symbol, and the specific position of this side symbol is determined by the terminal device that sends SL CSI-RS.
- SL CSI-RS cannot be located in the same sideline symbol as PSCCH and second-order SCI.
- the SL CSI-RS cannot be sent through the same sideline symbol as the PSSCH DM-RS.
- the position of the side symbol occupied by the SL CSI-RS can be indicated by the sl-CSI-RS-FirstSymbol parameter in PC5RRC. And, the position of the first RE occupied by the SL CSI-RS in a PRB is indicated by the "sl-CSI-RS-FreqAllocation" parameter in PC5RRC.
- the parameter is a bitmap with a length of 12, corresponding to 12 REs in one PRB.
- the parameter is a bitmap with a length of 6. In this case, the SL CSI-RS occupies two REs, 2f(1) and 2f(1)+1, where f(1) represents the identifier of the bit with a value of 1 in the above bitmap.
- the frequency domain position occupied by SL CSI-RS is also determined by the terminal device that sends SL CSI-RS, and it should be noted that the determined frequency domain position of SL CSI-RS cannot conflict with the frequency domain position occupied by PT-RS.
- Figure 15 shows a schematic diagram of the time-frequency resources occupied by the SL CSI-RS.
- sl-CSI-RS-FirstSymbol indicates that the position of the side symbol occupied by the SL CSI-RS is 8
- Unlicensed spectrum is a spectrum that can be used for radio equipment communications, which is divided by countries and regions. This spectrum is generally considered to be a shared spectrum. That is, as long as the communication equipment in the same or different communication systems meets the regulatory requirements set by the country or region on the spectrum, they can use the spectrum without applying for exclusive spectrum authorization from the government.
- LBT listen before talk
- Figure 16 shows an example of a channel occupancy time obtained by a communication device after successful LBT on a channel of an unlicensed spectrum and the use of resources within the channel occupancy time for signal transmission.
- channel monitoring based on LBT is not a global regulatory requirement, channel monitoring can bring the benefits of interference avoidance and friendly coexistence to communication transmissions between communication systems on shared spectrum. Therefore, in the design process of NR systems on unlicensed spectrum, channel monitoring is a feature that must be supported by communication equipment in the system. From the perspective of system networking, channel monitoring includes two mechanisms. One is LBT based on load-based equipment (LBE), also known as dynamic channel monitoring or dynamic channel occupancy; the other is LBT based on frame-based equipment (FBE), also known as semi-static channel monitoring or semi-static channel occupancy.
- LBE load-based equipment
- FBE frame-based equipment
- the following article focuses on introducing several different types of LBT methods (i.e. several different types of channel access methods).
- the type 1 LBT method (Type 1 LBT method) can also be called a multi-slot channel detection with random backoff based on contention window size adjustment.
- the communication device can initiate a channel occupation with a length of T mcot according to the channel access priority p.
- the following table shows the channel access priority and its corresponding parameters when the terminal device performs the type 1 LBT method.
- m p refers to the number of backoff slots corresponding to the channel access priority p
- CW p refers to the contention window size corresponding to the channel access priority p
- CW min,p refers to the minimum value of CW p corresponding to the channel access priority p
- CW max,p refers to the maximum value of CW p corresponding to the channel access priority p
- T mcot,p refers to the maximum channel occupancy time length corresponding to the channel access priority p.
- a network device uses the type 1 LBT method, the network device can not only send its own data during the channel occupancy period, but also share the channel occupancy time (COT) with the terminal device.
- COT channel occupancy time
- a terminal device uses the type 1 LBT method, the terminal device can not only send its own data during the channel occupancy period, but also share the COT with the network device or other terminal devices.
- Resource sharing within the COT can use the type 2 LBT method (Type 2 LBT method) for channel access.
- the type 2 LBT method (Type 2 LBT method) can also be called a channel access method based on a fixed-length channel listening time slot.
- the type 2 LBT method includes the type 2A LBT method (Type 2A LBT method), the type 2B LBT method (Type 2B LBT method), and the type 2C LBT method (Type 2C LBT method).
- the communication device can use 25us channel detection. That is, the communication device can start channel detection 25us before data starts to be sent.
- the 25us channel detection can include a 16us channel detection and a 9us channel detection. If both detection results indicate that the channel is idle, it can be considered that the channel is idle and channel access can be performed.
- the communication device can use 16us channel detection. During the channel detection process, if the communication device detects that the channel is idle for at least 5us within 26us, and the channel is idle for more than 4us in the last 9us, the channel can be considered idle.
- the communication device can transmit data directly through the channel without channel detection.
- the time difference between the current transmission and the previous transmission is less than or equal to 16us. In other words, if the time difference between two transmissions is less than or equal to 16us, they can be considered to be the same transmission and channel detection is not required. It should be noted that in the Type 2C LBT mode, the transmission time of the communication device is limited and usually cannot exceed 584us.
- NR-U NR-based access to Unlicensed spectrum
- a comb-tooth resource may include N PRBs that are discrete in the frequency domain. For example, if a frequency band includes a total of M comb-tooth resources, the position number of the PRB included in the mth comb-tooth in the N PRBs is as follows: ⁇ m, M+m, 2M+m, 3M+m, ... ⁇ . Taking Figure 17 as an example, the system bandwidth includes 30 PRBs. The 30 PRBs include 5 comb-tooth resources, and each comb-tooth resource includes 6 PRBs. It can be seen from Figure 17 that the frequency domain intervals of two adjacent PRBs in a comb tooth are the same, that is, they are 5 PRBs apart. It should be noted that the PRBs included in a comb-tooth resource can also be called an interlaced resource block (IRB). Therefore, the comb teeth are sometimes directly referred to as IRBs.
- IRB interlaced resource block
- each transmission is carried out with a granularity of 20MHz.
- the design of the NR system has taken into account large bandwidth and high throughput transmission, so the transmission of NR in the unlicensed spectrum should not be limited to 20M bandwidth transmission. Therefore, NR-U needs to support transmission with a larger bandwidth.
- the larger bandwidth transmission mentioned here can refer to transmission with a bandwidth of several times the order of 20MHz.
- a terminal device can be configured with one or more bandwidth parts (BWP).
- BWP has a large bandwidth.
- BWP covers multiple 20MHz channel bandwidths. These 20MHz bandwidths were called LBT subbands in the early design of NR-U, and there are guard bands between subbands, as shown in Figure 18.
- the function of the guard band is to prevent interference between subbands caused by out-of-band power leakage.
- the interference mentioned here is called inter-subband interference.
- Inter-subband interference refers to the interference caused by the transmission of other terminal devices (or communication devices of other systems) on the adjacent subbands of a subband to the transmission of the terminal device when the terminal device transmits on the subband.
- LBT subbands are also collectively referred to as resource block sets (RB sets).
- Resource block sets and guard bands between resource block sets can be configured in the manner shown in FIG. 19.
- a network device can first configure a carrier bandwidth based on a common resource block (CRB) and configure one or more guard bands (or intra-cell guard bands) within the carrier bandwidth.
- the configuration of the guard band may include the CRB position of the starting point of the guard band and the length of the guard band.
- the network device can map the resource block set to the BWP by configuring the BWP.
- the 3GPP protocol requires that the BWP configured by the network device includes an integer number of resource block sets.
- a BWP includes two resource block sets, namely, resource block set 1 and resource block set 2.
- a time slot structure containing multiple candidate transmission start symbols in one time slot is introduced for the transmission of PSSCH/PSCCH.
- two candidate transmission start symbols are configured in one time slot, located at symbol 0 and symbol 6 respectively. If the terminal device succeeds in LBT before symbol 0, the terminal device can start sidelink transmission from symbol 0, as shown in (a) in Figure 20. If the terminal device fails in LBT before symbol 0, but succeeds in LBT before symbol 6, the terminal device can start sidelink transmission from symbol 6, as shown in (b) in Figure 20.
- a time slot contains multiple candidate transmission start symbols, since the receiving end cannot know which symbol the transmitting end will start the side transmission, the receiving end will use the candidate transmission start symbol to make AGC adjustments.
- multiple candidate transmission start symbols in a time slot are usually symbols used for AGC.
- symbol 0 and symbol 6 in a time slot are two candidate transmission start symbols in a time slot, and the symbol 0 and symbol 6 will be used as AGC symbols.
- the terminal device when the terminal device starts to transmit at the first candidate transmission start symbol, if the terminal device maps a certain signal/channel to the second candidate transmission start symbol whose time domain position is located after the first candidate transmission start symbol, since the second candidate transmission start symbol is used by the receiving end for AGC adjustment, it is very likely that the receiving end will not be able to receive the signal/channel, thereby reducing the overall performance of the communication system.
- DM-RS if the terminal device maps DM-RS to the second candidate transmission start symbol, it may cause the receiving end to be unable to use the DM-RS for channel estimation, thereby reducing the performance of channel estimation.
- the second-order SCI if the terminal device maps the second-order SCI to the second candidate transmission start symbol, it may cause the receiving end to be unable to receive the second-order SCI, resulting in communication errors.

- the first terminal device can be any type of terminal device mentioned above.
- step S2110 the first terminal device performs sideline transmission in the first time slot.
- the sideline transmission may refer to sideline transmission or sideline reception.
- the sideline transmission may include transmission for one or more of the following: PSCCH and PSSCH.
- the first time slot may include (or be configured with) multiple candidate transmission start symbols.
- the candidate transmission start symbol may be a candidate transmission start symbol for PSCCH or PSSCH. That is, PSCCH or PSSCH may be transmitted starting from the candidate transmission start symbol. It should be understood that starting transmission from the candidate transmission start symbol does not necessarily require mapping the PSCCH or PSSCH to be transmitted on the candidate transmission start symbol.
- the candidate transmission start symbol may be used as an AGC symbol, and PSCCH or PSSCH may be mapped starting from the symbol after the candidate transmission start symbol.
- the candidate transmission start symbol mentioned in the embodiments of the present application may also be referred to as or replaced by one of the following: a candidate transmission starting point, a symbol corresponding to the candidate transmission starting point, a candidate transmission starting point symbol, a candidate transmission starting position, and a candidate transmission starting symbol position.
- the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the number of candidate transmission start symbols included in the first time slot.
- the first time slot may include two candidate transmission start symbols. In other implementations, the first time slot may include three or more candidate transmission start symbols.
- the first time slot includes the first candidate transmission start symbol and the second candidate transmission start symbol.
- the first candidate transmission start symbol mentioned in the embodiment of the present application may be a candidate transmission start symbol with a front time domain position among the multiple candidate transmission start symbols contained in the first time slot (front relative to the time domain position of the second candidate transmission start symbol);
- the second candidate transmission start symbol mentioned in the embodiment of the present application may be a candidate transmission start symbol with a back time domain position among the multiple candidate transmission start symbols contained in the first time slot (back relative to the time domain position of the first candidate transmission start symbol).
- the first time slot may only include the first candidate transmission start symbol and the second candidate transmission start symbol; or, in addition to the first candidate transmission start symbol and the second candidate transmission start symbol, the first time slot may also include more candidate transmission start symbols.
- the first candidate transmission start symbol may correspond to the first candidate transmission start symbol among multiple candidate transmission start symbols contained in the first time slot (i.e., the candidate transmission start symbol with the earliest time domain position in the first time slot), and the second candidate transmission start symbol may correspond to any candidate transmission start symbol in the first time slot except the first candidate transmission start symbol.
- the first candidate transmission start symbol may correspond to the i-th candidate transmission start symbol (i ⁇ 1) among multiple candidate transmission start symbols included in the first time slot
- the second candidate transmission start symbol may correspond to any candidate transmission start symbol whose time domain position in the first time domain is located after the i-th candidate transmission start symbol.
- the first time slot includes three candidate transmission start symbols
- the first candidate transmission start symbol is the second candidate transmission start symbol among the three candidate transmission start symbols
- the second candidate transmission start symbol is the last candidate transmission start symbol among the three candidate transmission start symbols.
- the second candidate transmission start symbol is not used to map the first signal/channel corresponding to the transmission based on the first candidate transmission start symbol, so as to avoid a degradation in the communication system performance due to the inability of the receiving end to correctly receive the first signal/channel.
- the second candidate transmission start symbol is not used to map the first signal/channel corresponding to the transmission based on the first candidate transmission start symbol. It can also be expressed or replaced by one or more of the following: the second candidate transmission start symbol is not used to map the first signal/channel determined based on the first candidate transmission start symbol; or, the second candidate transmission start symbol is not used to map the first signal/channel corresponding to the transmission starting from the first candidate transmission start symbol; or, the second candidate transmission start symbol is not used to map the first signal/channel corresponding to the transmission starting from the first candidate transmission start symbol.
- the second candidate transmission start symbol is not used to map the first signal/channel corresponding to the transmission based on the first candidate transmission start symbol, which may mean that: the time domain position of the second candidate transmission start symbol does not overlap with the first signal/channel; or, the first terminal device avoids the second candidate transmission start symbol from overlapping with the time domain position of the first signal/channel. For example, if the time domain position of the second candidate transmission start symbol overlaps with the first signal/channel, the first signal/channel is mapped to other symbols in the first time slot except the second candidate transmission start symbol.
- the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the type of the first signal/channel.
- the first signal/channel may be any type of signal/channel corresponding to the transmission based on the first candidate transmission start symbol.
- the first signal/channel may include one or more of the following: a first PSSCH; a first PSCCH; a first CSI-RS; a DM-RS of the first PSSCH; and a second SCI.
- mapping method of the first signal/channel is described in more detail below by taking the first signal/channel as a signal/channel of different types as an example.
- Embodiment 1 Avoiding the overlap of the time domain position of the DM-RS of the first PSSCH and the second candidate transmission start symbol
- the first PSSCH refers to the PSSCH corresponding to the transmission based on the first candidate transmission start symbol.
- the first PSSCH may be the PSSCH that is transmitted starting from the first candidate transmission start symbol.
- the DM-RS of the first PSSCH can be used for channel estimation at the receiving end, so as to demodulate the data information in the first PSSCH.
- the DM-RS of the first PSSCH can be mapped to some symbols in the symbol corresponding to the first PSSCH, and the specific mapping method is related to the DM-RS pattern selected by the first terminal device. Taking Figure 13 in the previous text as an example, the DM-RS can be mapped to symbols 1, 4, 7 and 10 in the time slot.
- mapping the DM-RS of the first PSSCH on the second candidate transmission start symbol In order to maintain the channel estimation performance, it is possible to avoid mapping the DM-RS of the first PSSCH on the second candidate transmission start symbol. In other words, it is possible to avoid the time domain position of the DM-RS of the first PSSCH to coincide with the time domain position of the second candidate transmission start symbol. There are many ways to avoid the time domain position of the DM-RS of the first PSSCH to coincide with the time domain position of the second candidate transmission start symbol. Three specific implementation methods are given below.
- the first DM-RS symbol can be mapped to other symbols except the second candidate transmission start symbol. That is to say, if the DM-RS pattern selected by the first terminal device includes a first DM-RS symbol that coincides with the time domain position of the second candidate transmission start symbol, the mapping method of the DM-RS is adjusted to avoid the overlap between the two. As an example, the first DM-RS symbol can be mapped to the previous symbol or the next symbol of the second candidate transmission start symbol.
- two candidate transmission start symbols are configured in a time slot, which are located at symbol 0 and symbol 6 respectively.
- the candidate transmission start symbol located at symbol 0 corresponds to the first candidate transmission start symbol mentioned above
- the candidate transmission start symbol located at symbol 6 corresponds to the second candidate transmission start symbol mentioned above.
- the DM-RS pattern selected by the first terminal device includes 3 DM-RS symbols.
- the three DM-RS symbols are respectively located at the following symbol positions in a time slot: symbol 1, symbol 6 and symbol 11.
- DM-RS symbol 6 overlaps with the second candidate transmission start symbol in the time domain.
- the second terminal device since the terminal device as the receiving end (hereinafter referred to as the second terminal device) will use the symbol 6 for AGC adjustment, the second terminal device cannot use the DM-RS symbol on the symbol 6 for channel estimation. That is, the available DM-RS symbols in the time slot only include DM-RS symbols on symbol 1 and symbol 11, which will degrade the channel estimation performance.
- the DM-RS symbol of the first PSSCH coincides with the second candidate transmission start symbol
- the DM-RS symbol can be mapped to other symbols except the second candidate transmission start symbol, such as the previous symbol or the next symbol of the second candidate transmission start symbol.
- the DM-RS symbol is not mapped to symbol 1, symbol 6, and symbol 11, but is mapped to symbol 1, symbol 7, and symbol 11, that is, the DM-RS that originally needs to be mapped in symbol 6 is mapped to the symbol after symbol 6, that is, symbol 7.
- the DM-RS symbol is not mapped to symbol 1, symbol 6, and symbol 11, but is mapped to symbol 1, symbol 5, and symbol 11, that is, the DM-RS that originally needs to be mapped in symbol 6 is mapped to the previous symbol of symbol 6, that is, symbol 5.
- the first terminal device does not expect the selected DM-RS pattern to include a DM-RS symbol that coincides with the time domain position of the second candidate transmission start symbol.
- the first terminal device does not expect the received DM-RS pattern to include a DM-RS symbol that coincides with the time domain position of the second candidate transmission start symbol.
- the first terminal device can obtain the time domain position of the candidate transmission start symbol in the time slot according to the configuration information. If the first terminal device starts transmitting from the first candidate transmission start symbol, the first terminal device can avoid selecting a DM-RS pattern containing a DM-RS symbol that coincides with the time domain position of the second candidate transmission start symbol. Similarly, as a receiving end, the first terminal device does not expect to receive a DM-RS pattern containing a DM-RS symbol that coincides with the time domain position of the second candidate transmission start symbol.
- the DM-RS pattern configured by the resource pool includes three patterns, namely, a pattern of 2 DM-RS symbols, a pattern of 3 DM-RS symbols, and a pattern of 4 DM-RS symbols.
- the corresponding DM-RS symbols are symbol 1, symbol 6, and symbol 11, respectively, where symbol 6 coincides with the second candidate transmission start symbol.
- the first terminal device will not select the pattern of the three DM-RS symbols, but will only select the pattern of 2 DM-RS symbols or the pattern of 4 DM-RS symbols. Similarly, the receiving terminal does not expect to receive the pattern of the three DM-RS symbols.
- the first terminal device may obtain configuration information (the configuration information may include, for example, sideline BWP configuration information and/or resource pool configuration information).
- the configuration information may be used to configure the DM-RS pattern available in the resource pool, and the DM-RS pattern configured by the configuration information does not include a symbol that coincides with the time domain position of the second candidate transmission start symbol.
- the DM-RS pattern is configured using the configuration information, the DM-RS pattern that includes a symbol that coincides with the time domain position of the second candidate transmission start symbol is avoided.
- the configuration information configures a second candidate transmission start symbol
- the configured DM-RS pattern when configuring the DM-RS pattern available in the resource pool, the configured DM-RS pattern does not overlap with the time domain position of the second candidate transmission start symbol, or avoids configuring a DM-RS pattern that overlaps with the second candidate transmission start symbol.
- the time slot includes two candidate transmission start symbols, namely, the first candidate transmission start symbol located at symbol 0, and the second candidate transmission start symbol located at symbol 6.
- the first candidate transmission start symbol the total number of symbols that can be used for sideline transmission in the time slot is 13 (excluding the last GP symbol in the time slot), that is, all symbols in the time slot (excluding the last GP symbol) can be used for sideline transmission.
- the PSCCH in the resource pool occupies 2 symbols.
- the DM-RS pattern supported by the resource pool can be configured to include a DM-RS pattern with a DM-RS symbol number of 2 or 4, and cannot support a DM-RS pattern with a DM-RS symbol number of 3.
- the number of DM-RS symbols included in the DM-RS pattern is 2, according to Table 2, the symbols corresponding to the DM-RS pattern are located at symbol 3 and symbol 10 respectively; when the number of DM-RS symbols included in the DM-RS pattern is 4, the symbols corresponding to the DM-RS pattern are located at symbol 1, symbol 4, symbol 7 and symbol 10 respectively.
- the DM-RS symbols corresponding to the above two DM-RS patterns do not overlap with the time domain position of the second candidate transmission start symbol (i.e., symbol 6).
- the symbols corresponding to the DM-RS pattern are located at symbol 1, symbol 6, and symbol 11, respectively.
- the DM-RS symbol corresponding to the DM-RS pattern overlaps with the time domain position of the second candidate transmission start symbol (i.e., symbol 6), so when configuring the DM-RS pattern supported by the resource pool, avoid configuring this DM-RS pattern.
- the time slot includes two candidate transmission start symbols, namely, the first candidate transmission start symbol located at symbol 0, and the second candidate transmission start symbol located at symbol 4.
- the first candidate transmission start symbol the total number of symbols that can be used for side transmission in the time slot is 13 (excluding the last GP symbol in the time slot), that is, all symbols in the time slot (excluding the last GP symbol) can be used for side transmission.
- the PSCCH in the resource pool occupies 3 symbols.
- the DM-RS pattern supported by the resource pool can be configured to include a DM-RS pattern with a DM-RS symbol number of 3, and cannot support a DM-RS pattern with a DM-RS symbol number of 2 or 4.
- the DM-RS pattern includes a DM-RS symbol number of 2, according to Table 2, the symbols corresponding to the DM-RS pattern are located at symbols 4 and 10 respectively; when the DM-RS pattern includes a DM-RS symbol number of 4, the symbols corresponding to the DM-RS pattern are located at symbols 1, symbol 4, symbol 7 and symbol 10 respectively.
- the DM-RS symbols corresponding to the above two DM-RS patterns coincide with the time domain position of the second candidate transmission start symbol (ie, symbol 4). Therefore, when configuring the DM-RS pattern supported by the resource pool, avoid configuring this DM-RS pattern.
- Embodiment 2 Avoiding the overlap of the time domain position of the second-order SCI and the second candidate transmission start symbol
- the second-order SCI may include, for example, SCI 2-A, SCI 2-B, or SCI 2-C.
- the second-order SCI may be mapped to other symbols in the time slot except the second candidate transmission start symbol. For example, if the symbol used to map the second-order SCI coincides with the time domain position of the second candidate transmission start symbol, the second candidate transmission start symbol may be skipped and the second-order SCI may be mapped to the symbol after the second candidate transmission start symbol. Further, in some implementations, the second-order SCI after the second-order SCI may be mapped in a corresponding deferred manner.
- the time slot includes two candidate transmission start symbols, namely, the first candidate transmission start symbol located at symbol 0, and the second candidate transmission start symbol located at symbol 4. Since the first candidate transmission start symbol is located at symbol 0, relative to the first candidate transmission start symbol, the total number of symbols that can be used for side transmission in the time slot is 13 (excluding the last GP symbol in the time slot), that is, all symbols in the time slot (excluding the last GP symbol) can be used for side transmission.
- the first terminal device starts to transmit from the first candidate transmission start symbol, its corresponding second-order SCI is mapped from the first DM-RS symbol (such as symbol 1 in (a) of FIG24) and mapped to symbol 5.
- symbol 4 used to map the second-order SCI coincides with the time domain position of the second candidate transmission start symbol. Therefore, in order to avoid the second candidate transmission start symbol affecting the detection performance of the second-order SCI, the second-order SCI is not mapped to symbol 4, but continues to be mapped from symbol 5, as shown in (b) of FIG24.
- Embodiment 3 Avoiding the time domain position of the first PSSCH (or data information in the first PSSCH) and the second candidate transmission start symbol coincide
- the second candidate transmission start symbol is usually used for AGC adjustment at the receiving end, so the data on this symbol is usually not used for demodulation.
- the first PSSCH may not be mapped to the second candidate transmission start symbol.
- the second candidate transmission start symbol may be skipped, and the first PSSCH may continue to be mapped from the symbol after the second candidate transmission start symbol.
- two candidate transmission start symbols are configured in the time slot, namely, the first candidate transmission start symbol located at symbol 0, and the second candidate transmission start symbol located at symbol 6.
- the first PSSCH starts to transmit from the first candidate transmission position (i.e., symbol 0)
- the first PSSCH performs resource mapping from symbol 1 (symbol 0 is used as an AGC symbol, and the data on this symbol is a repetition of the data on symbol 1).
- symbol 0 is used as an AGC symbol, and the data on this symbol is a repetition of the data on symbol 1).
- the first PSSCH is mapped to symbols 1-5, 7-12, but not to symbol 6.
- the second candidate transmission start symbol may not be considered when determining the TBS of the PSSCH.
- Embodiment 4 Avoiding the overlap of the time domain positions of the first PSCCH and the second candidate transmission start symbol
- the time domain position of the second candidate transmission start symbol may be configured so that the time domain position of the second candidate transmission start symbol does not overlap with the time domain position of the first PSCCH.
- the symbol index corresponding to the second candidate transmission start symbol may be set to be greater than the symbol index corresponding to the last symbol in the symbols used to map the PSCCH.
- the symbol index corresponding to the second candidate transmission start symbol may be set to satisfy: I 2 >I 1 +A, or I 2 ⁇ I 1 +A+1.
- the symbol index corresponding to the second candidate transmission start symbol may be set to satisfy: I 2 >I 3 +A-1, or I 2 ⁇ I 3 +A.
- Embodiment 5 Avoiding the overlap of the time domain position of the first CSI-RS and the second candidate transmission start symbol
- the first terminal device may generate or obtain second configuration information.
