CONTENTION BASED RESOURCE CONFIGURATION METHOD AND APPARATUS

摘要

A CB resource configuration method is disclosed. The method includes:configuring, by anetwork device, one or more first objects to be capable of using a CBresource, where the one ormore first objects belong to a proper subset of all first objects; andsending, by the network device,first CB resource information, where the first CB resource information is usedfor indicating thatthe one or more first objects are capable of using the CB resource.Embodiments of the presentinvention further provide a method for using a CB resource, a network deviceand a user equipment,and are applicable to relay scenarios or discontinuous reception scenarios.Through the method, theprobability of the conflict during uplink transmission performed by using theCB resource can bereduced, the energy of the user equipment can be saved, and the implementationcomplexity of theuser equipment can be lowered.
