  • Publication number: 20200084776
    Abstract: The present invention provides a control information transmission resource determining method in a D2D communication. In this method, a location of a subframe used for a SA transmission is determined in a SA resource pool by a TRP. In the subframe, a frequency domain resource used for the SA transmission occupies a part of symbols or PRBs in the entire subframe, and a location of the frequency domain resource is determined by a central control node assigning way, a randomly selecting way, a resource-hopping way or a mapping way between a time domain resource and a frequency domain resource. According to the method above, data transmission delay can be effectively reduced, data transmission reliability can be ensured, and V2X communication requirements can be achieved by small changes in a current system.
