Abstract:
A mobile terminal in a mobile communication system supporting device to device (D2D) communication, and a method for operating the mobile terminal are provided. The terminal includes a first radio frequency (RF) chain configured to transmit a mobile communication signal and a second RF chain configured to receive a mobile communication signal, for mobile communication with a base station, a switching unit including a plurality of switches configured to establish transmission and reception paths in the first and second RF chains, and a controller configured to control switching of the switching unit to establish transmission and reception paths of a D2D communication signal for D2D communication by combining a part of the first RF chain with a part of the second RF chain. The combination of the parts of the first and second RF chains is different according to a D2D communication frequency band.

Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a 5G or pre-5G communication system that is to support higher data transmission rates after 4G communication systems such as LTE. A method, by a MeNB, for switching a SeNB communicating with a UE in a wireless communication system, provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, includes receiving, from the UE, a measurement report (MR) of the at least two SeNB neighboring with the UE, determining whether predetermined switch criteria are satisfied based on the MR, and transmitting, to the UE and a first SeNB or a second SeNB, a switch message indicating switching of an SeNB cooperating with the MeNB for communication with the UE from the first SeNB to the second SeNB, based on whether the switch criteria are satisfied.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for a handover in a communication system using beamforming are provided. The method includes the operations of receiving handover information from a serving base station, measuring, on the basis of beam scanning, a first reference signal transmitted from the serving base station and a second reference signal transmitted from a target base station, if the result of the measurement satisfies handover conditions, transmitting the result of the measurement to the serving base station, and receiving, on the basis of the handover information, a handover permission message from the target base station.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates beyond 4th-generation (4G) communication system such as long term evolution (LTE). A communication method and apparatus using beamforming are provided. The method includes acquiring transmission beam specific, measurement information of a base station (BS) and measuring a reference signal (RS) transmitted through transmission beams of the BS according to the transmission beam specific, measurement information. The measurement information on each transmission beam is determined according to at least one of an elevation angle of the corresponding transmission beam, an azimuth of the corresponding transmission beam, a handover urgency, information on a handover failure, and information on a radio link failure (RLF). A mobile station (MS) may perform a measurement report or a handover process according to a result of the measurement.

A method for D2D communication includes: obtaining a discovery code and a multicast identifier to be used for transmitting additional information on an application program through a D2D multicast subframe, based on an identifier of an application program of a device; and broadcasting the discovery code and the multicast identifier in a discovery subframe.
Abstract:
A method for allocating resources for Device-to-Device (D2D) communication in a transmitting terminal is provided. The method includes receiving broadcast resource allocation information for the D2D communication from a Base Station (BS), and measuring a channel quality of a downlink signal received from the BS and, if the measured channel quality is smaller than a predetermined threshold, conducting the D2D communication using the resource allocation information.
