Abstract:
A communication control method used in a cellular mobile communication system that supports inter-terminal communication that is direct radio communication capable of being performed between user terminals in a state where a radio connection with a network is established, comprises a step of transmitting, by a base station, maximum power information indicating maximum transmission power permitted in the inter-terminal communication.
Abstract:
A user equipment, apparatus for controlling user equipment, and method performed by user equipment includes receiving a radio resource control (RRC) Release message from a base station included in a radio access network (RAN). The RRC Release message includes an indication causing the user equipment to transition from an RRC connected state to a specific state, the specific state being a state in which a RRC connection is suspended for the user equipment. The user equipment is caused to transition from the RRC connected state to the specific state in response to receiving the RRC Release message, perform a cell reselection operation when the user equipment is in the specific state, and perform, when the user equipment in the specific state, an operation of causing the user equipment to transition from the specific state to an RRC idle state in response to reselecting a cell not supporting the specific state.
Abstract:
In a first user equipment, apparatus and method, a first user equipment performs sidelink communication with a second user equipment, receives a first message from the second user equipment, where the first message is periodically transmitted from the second user equipment based on a first timer, starts or restarts a second timer upon receiving the first message, where a value of the second timer is determined based on a value of the first timer, and transmits a second message to a network apparatus upon expiration of the second timer, where the second message indicates that the second user equipment is disconnected from the first user equipment.
Abstract:
A user equipment, apparatus, and base station include a processor and a memory. The processor user equipment and apparatus is configured to receive, from a base station, a radio network temporary identifier for direct communication. The processor is further configured to receive, from the base station, resource information transmitted by use of the radio network temporary identifier. The received resource information indicates a radio resource to be used for the user equipment to perform the direct communication. The processor of the base station is configured to transmit, to a user equipment, a radio network temporary identifier for direct communication. The base station processor is further configured to transmit, to the user equipment, resource information transmitted by use of the radio network temporary identifier. The transmitted resource information indicates a radio resource to be used for the user equipment to perform the direct communication.
Abstract:
A radio terminal according to one embodiment comprises: a controller configured to detect a radio problem in communication with a base station in an RRC connected state and attempt a recovery from the radio problem; and a transmitter configured to transmit, to the base station, a polling signal for confirming whether or not the base station considers an RRC state of the radio terminal as the RRC connected state in response to the successful recovery. The controller maintains the RRC connected state in response to reception, from the base station, of a response signal to the polling signal.
Abstract:
A radio terminal according to one embodiment is configured to perform a relay between another radio terminal and a network. The radio terminal comprises: a transmitter configured to notify the network of first information indicating that the radio terminal is a relay terminal of the another radio terminal; a controller configured to forward data addressed to the another radio terminal to the another radio terminal via a connection between the another radio terminal through the radio terminal and the network; and a receiver configured to receive from the network a message indicating that the data addressed to the another radio terminal exists when at least part of the connection is released. The controller is configured to start control for establishing the connection in order to forward the data addressed to the another radio terminal in response to receiving the message.
Abstract:
A communication device according to one embodiment includes a controller and a transmitter. The controller is configured to identify a zone that is a geographical section where the communication device is located, and select a predetermined transmission resource region from a plurality of transmission resource regions included in one transmission resource pool associated with the identified zone. The transmitter is configured to transmit a direct radio signal to another communication device by using a resource in the predetermined transmission resource region.
Abstract:
A user terminal has a function of device-to-device (D2D) communication, and determines whether it is in a radio resource control (RRC) idle mode, receives a system information block (SIB) broadcasted by the base station in the RRC idle mode, where the SIB includes resource information indicating usable radio resource and power information for controlling transmission power used in transmitting data to other user equipment by the D2D communication, and determines radio resources and power used to transmit the data based on the resource and power information. In another aspect, a base station is configured to broadcast the SIB.
Abstract:
A base station (200) according to one embodiment uses a specific frequency band shared by a plurality of operators and/or a plurality of communication systems. The base transmit, to a radio terminal (100-1), interference-related information relating to interference detected by the base station in the specific frequency band.
