Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a solution for sensing sidelink resources. In a method for communication, in accordance with receiving, at a terminal device from a network device, a first higher layer parameter indicating that partial sensing is enabled for the terminal device, the terminal device determines a candidate resource for performing a sidelink transmission in a target slot. The terminal device determines, for the partial sensing, a sensing window with a configured time length before the target slot. The terminal device determines, in the sensing window, a set of slots based on the configured time length of the sensing window. The terminal device determines a reservation state of the candidate resource by monitoring the set of slots. With the embodiments of the present disclosure, a feasible partial sensing procedure is provided for a terminal device to perform a sidelink transmission in the 5G NR, and thus the performance of sidelink transmissions can be improved.

Embodiments of this application provide a device-to-device based resource determining method and device, which may be applied to a D2D system (for example, a system such as an internet of vehicles, V2X, or V2V). The method includes: receiving first information sent by a first terminal device, where the first information indicates a second terminal device to send assistance information; and sending the assistance information to the first terminal device, where the assistance information is used to assist the first terminal device in selecting a resource for data transmission. The second terminal device assists the first terminal device in determining the resource for data transmission, instead of completely determining, by a terminal device that sends data, the resource for data transmission.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A first wireless device may establish a sidelink communications link with a second wireless device. The first wireless device may transmit, to the second wireless device, an indication of a capability to support a configuration for phase continuity between multiple physical channel transmissions of the sidelink communication link.

A method of operating a first device 100 in a wireless communication system is proposed. The method may comprise: generating a MAC PDU related to a groupcast transmission; and selecting at least one SL resource for a transmission of the MAC PDU among a plurality of candidate resources in a resource pool, wherein a first SL resource included in the at least one SL resource is included in a first SL DRX active time, and the first SL resource being selected outside the first SL DRX active time is not allowed, based on the MAC PDU being related to groupcast transmission.

A first node receives a first signaling, the first signaling indicates a first resource pool and X1 resource sub-pools, and the X1 resource sub-pools belong to the first resource pool; determines a candidate resource set out of the first resource pool; transmits a target signal on a target time-frequency resource block, and the target time-frequency resource block belongs to the candidate resource set; a target resource subset belongs to a target resource sub-pool; a first priority is used to determine X1 first-type thresholds; the X1 resource sub-pools respectively correspond to the X1 first-type thresholds; a target threshold is a first-type threshold corresponding to the target resource sub-pool among the X1 first-type thresholds, and the target threshold is used to determine the target resource subset out of the target resource sub-pool. The present application strikes a balance between resource utilization and interference avoidance for users of a shared resource pool.
