Abstract:
Disclosed is a base station capable of appropriately configuring a resource on which EPDCCH is located when soft combining is applied. The base station includes configuration section (102) that configures an EPDCCH set in a plurality of subframes, the EPDCCH set being formed of ECCEs to which control information (assignment information) transmitted over the plurality of subframes is assigned; and an assignment section (105) that assigns the control information to any of the ECCEs in each of the plurality of subframes.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for dynamically indicating a TDD reconfiguration to the mobile station by encoding the dynamic TDD re-configuration indication into the DCI or CRC calculated for the DCI. In one embodiment, the TDD configuration indication is implicitly encoded as an RNTI into the CRC, when scrambling the CRC for the DCI with a TDD-RNTI. In another embodiment, the TDD configuration indication is part of the DCI payload, while the CRC for the DCI is scrambled with a cell identifier, identifying the target cell for which the dynamic TDD re-configuration is to be applied. In still another embodiment, the TDD configuration indication is part of the DCI payload, where the DCI payload further includes an invalid parameter indicating to the mobile station that the DCI carries the TDD configuration indication.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a power control method in device to device (D2D) communication and a user equipment for performing the power control method. The method includes computing a power value of device to device (D2D) transmission of a user equipment performing D2D communication in a subframe in a serving cell, based on a power control adjustment state of a Long Term Evolution (LTE) wide area network (WAN) uplink channel of the user equipment and an offset or a ratio indicated by a transmit power control (TPC) command indicated in D2D grant or downlink control information (DCI) format 3/3A.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for allocating radio resources to a transmitting terminal for performing direct communication transmission over a direct link connection. The transmitting terminal receives a system information broadcast from the base station, which comprises information on a temporary transmission radio resource pool, indicating radio resources for performing a direct communication transmission, and comprises configuration information on the resource pool to limit the amount of time that the temporary radio resource pool is usable by the transmitting terminal.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to selection of synchronization source among various synchronization sources which include sources determining the synchronization signal from the network such as base stations (network nodes) or user equipments which receive the synchronization signal possibly over other hops from the base station, and which further includes sources which do not determine their synchronization signal from the network. The selection of the synchronization source is performed by choosing the source with the most reliable synchronization signal based on a metric calculated for each of the sources considered. In particular, the metric is based on the type of the source, number of hops between the network and the source and/or received signal quality. After selecting the source, the timing of the device is adapted accordingly.

Provided are D2D wireless communication methods and UEs therefor. In one embodiment, the D2D wireless communication method performed by a UE includes continuing D2D transmission by using a resource from a resource pool allocated for mode 2 operation when switching from mode 1 operation to mode 2 operation. In another embodiment, the D2D wireless communication method performed by a UE includes performing D2D transmission by using a resource from a resource pool allocated for mode 2 operation, wherein the resource pool is indicated by a dedicated RRC signaling transmitted by an eNB, a SIB transmitted by an eNB, a PD2DSCH transmitted by other UE(s), and/or pre-configuration, and the dedicated RRC signaling, the SIB, the PD2DSCH and the pre-configuration are in descending order in priority when determining the resource pool.

Abstract:
Provided are D2D communication methods and D2D-enabled wireless devices. The D2D communication method performed by a D2D-enabled wireless device includes transmitting signals in D2D subframes with a randomization pattern. The randomization pattern is designed based on relative subframe positions in a virtual pure D2D subframe sequence composed of multiple D2D subframes in one or more radio frames. In another embodiment, the eNB scheduling based resource allocation and the D2D-enabled wireless device selection on its own based resource allocation share a same randomization pattern design.
