Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a solution for sidelink discontinuous reception (DRX). In a method for communication, a first terminal device of terminal devices in a communication network obtains a sidelink DRX configuration. The first terminal device determines, from the sidelink DRX configuration, a sidelink DRX cycle including a first duration during which sidelink communications are allowed to be performed among the terminal devices and a second duration during which the sidelink communications are not allowed to be performed. The first terminal device performs, during the first duration, a sidelink communication with a second terminal device of the terminal devices. With the embodiments of the present disclosure, terminal devices can efficiently communicate with each other using sidelink DRX operations.
