Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 13:
14. A resource configuration apparatus applied to a base station, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing instructions executable by the processor,
wherein the processor is configured to:
set radio resource configuration information used for sidelink communication for a terminal;
when determining that it is required to transmit a connection release message to the terminal, add the radio resource configuration information to the connection release message; and
transmit the connection release message to the terminal, so that the terminal acquires the radio resource configuration information from the connection release message and performs sidelink communication according to the radio resource configuration information;

wherein when transmitting the connection release message to the terminal, the processor is configured to:
configure, for the terminal, a valid area where the radio resource configuration information is applied;
generate valid area indication information for indicating the valid area, wherein the valid area indication information comprises at least one of:
a cell identifier list which comprises one or more designated cell identifiers;
an area identifier list which comprises one or more designated area identifiers; or
a Radio Access Network (RAN) area identifier list which comprises one or more designated RAN area identifiers;

add the valid area indication information to the connection release message; and
transmit the connection release message to the terminal, so that the terminal acquires the radio resource configuration information from the connection release message, determines, according to the valid area indication information, the valid area where the radio resource configuration information is applied, and performs sidelink communication in the valid area according to the radio resource configuration information, wherein the connection release message is configured for the terminal to perform at least one of:
determining a corresponding designated cell as the valid area according to the one or more designated cell identifiers in the cell identifier list of the valid area indication information;
determining a corresponding designated area according to the one or more designated area identifiers in the area identifier list of the valid area indication information, and determining each cell in the designated area as the valid area; or
determining a corresponding designated RAN area according to the one or more designated RAN area identifiers in the RAN area identifier list of the valid area indication information, and determining each cell in the designated RAN area as the valid area;

wherein the connection release message is further configured for the terminal to perform at least one of:
transmitting a sidelink service in the valid area according to the radio resource configuration information; or
receiving a sidelink service in the valid area according to the radio resource configuration information.
