Abstract

Embodiments of the present application disclose a device-to-device (D2D) communication method, a resource assignment method, and apparatuses thereof. The D2D communication method comprises: determining a use state of a first resource, where the first resource is used to perform D2D communication; and sending first information correlated to the use state by using at least one first resource unit (RU) in the first resource, wherein the at least one first RU is an RU at at least one first preset position in the first resource. For the methods and apparatuses in the embodiments of the present application, transmission of a resource at a specific position is used to indicate a use state of a D2D resource, so that at the same time when the basis for achieving relatively high resource use efficiency is provided, particularly the basis for resource adjustment is provided in the absence of cellular network coverage.
