Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and an apparatus for semi-persistent scheduling (SPS). The method for semi-persistent scheduling includes: interacting, by a first user equipment, with a base station to obtain an SPS resource allocated by the base station; performing, by the first user equipment, device-to-device (D2D) communication with second user equipment by using the SPS resource; and after the D2D communication ends, sending, by the first user equipment, release indication information to the base station, so that the base station releases the SPS resource. In embodiments of the present disclosure, after D2D communication ends, the first user equipment sends a release indication message to a base station, so that the base station can release an SPS resource, preventing waste of resources.
