摘要:
A device (110a-110c, 170a-170b, 410, 420a-420d) is configured to perform a method (600) of wireless communication in a wireless communication network. The method includes receiving (601), from a communications controller (170a-170b, 410), a device-to-device (D2D) subframe configuration to communicate with one or more second wireless devices (110a-110c, 170a-170b, 410, 420a-420d), the subframe configuration indicating one or more subframes in which to transmit a D2D signal or receive one or more D2D signals. The method also includes receiving (603), from the communications controller, scheduling information to transmit a first signal to the communications controller on a subframe indicated by the D2D subframe configuration. The method further includes prioritizing (605) the transmission of the first signal over a transmission of the D2D signal or a reception of the one or more D2D signals, and transmitting (607) the first signal.
摘要:
A transmit power control rule for device-to-device (D2D) transmissions may not be necessary during periods in which no uplink transmissions are scheduled to be received by an enhanced Node B base station (eNB). When uplink transmissions are not scheduled to be received by the eNB, the eNB may send a transmit power control (TPC) command to a D2D capable user equipment (D2D UE) that instructs the D2D UE to perform a D2D transmission at a pre-defined transmit power level (e.g., maximum transmit power level). When uplink transmissions are scheduled to be received the eNB, the eNB may send a TPC command to the D2D UE that instructs the D2D UE to perform a D2D transmission at a transmit power level defined by a power control rule.

Embodiments are provided for configuring channel measurements and reporting by a user equipment (UE). The embodiments avoid unnecessary cell measurements and resulting reporting transmissions by the UE in network scenarios with restricted downlink transmissions from serving cells. A method by a network component includes sending, to the UE, a data transmission pattern for transmissions on downlinks from multiple cells serving the UE. The data transmission pattern indicates a plurality of subframes including one or more restricted subframes where transmissions from one of the cells are restricted. The method further includes sending, to the UE, a measurement pattern allocating measurements and reports for a cell from the UE to the cells at corresponding designated subframes of the subframes in the data transmission pattern. The UE transmits measurement reports to an assisting serving cell during the one or more restricted subframes.

A method for performing open discovery in a communications system includes determining, by a device-to-device (D2D ) device, resource allocation information for a discovery cycle including discovery resources allocated for transmission of discovery signals by D2D devices. The method also includes selecting, by the D2D device, a first discovery resource of the discovery cycle in accordance with the resource allocation information, and transmitting, by the D2D device, a discovery signal in the selected first discovery resource.

A method for cell adaptation includes receiving (1402), by a user equipment (UE) (UE1), one or more transmission parameters for a transition reference signal (TRS). One or more cells (Pico2) is transitioned between a reduced activity mode and an active transmission and reception mode in accordance with the TRS. The method further includes the UE (UE1) determining (1404) whether or not to transmit the TRS in accordance with one or more TRS transmission criteria, and the UE (UE1) transmitting (1406) the TRS in accordance with the one or more transmission parameters.

Systems and methods for User Equipment (UE) synchronization for Device-to-Device (D2D) out-of-coverage communication are provided. In an embodiment, a method in an in-coverage (IC) UE for the IC UE to become a synchronization source for out-of-coverage UEs for D2D communication includes obtaining, by the IC UE scanning parameters; scanning, by the IC UE, for out-of-coverage synchronization signals; transmitting, by the IC UE, a measurement report to a Transmission Point (TP) in response to a report trigger, the measurement report comprising information of one or more received out-of-coverage synchronization signals; receiving, by the IC UE, a configuration command from the TP instructing the IC UE to become a synchronization source in response to a configuration command from the TP; and transmitting, by the IC UE, a D2D synchronization signal (SS) for a duration of time or until instructed not to do so by the TP.

System and method embodiments are provided for controlling and managing in-network device-to-device (D2D) communications. In an embodiment, a method for a UE performing device-to-device (D2D) communication includes generating a D2D buffer status report (BSR) for a D2D communication link between the UE and a second UE that provides information related to an amount of D2D data available for transmission, wherein the D2D BSR comprises a D2D BSR logical channel identifier (LCID); transmitting the D2D BSR in a control element; receiving, a resource allocation for the D2D link; and transmitting D2D data over the allocated resources.
摘要:
Embodiments are provided for implementing network adaptation schemes, including small cell on/off adaptation and transmission power control. In an embodiment method for supporting network adaptation, a network component receives a discovery reference signal (DRS) from a network controller that is in a switch-off transmission mode. The network component then performs measurements according to the DRS, and reports the measurements to a network associated with the network controller. In return, the network component receives a radio resource control (RRC) signaling from the network. The RRC signaling includes configuration information allowing a connection between the network component and the network controller. The network component then connects with the network controller in accordance with the configuration information.
