Abstract: 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: The present invention relates to a D2D capable a communication method and to a transmitting user equipment, which transmits data to a receiving user equipment over a direct link data channel, uses the services of the eNodeB in order to have resources allocated for transmitting said data. To this end the UE sends to the eNB scheduling information using resources of a subframe dedicated for standard uplink communication through the eNodeB, rather than using resources on the subframe dedicated to D2D data transmission. In order to allow the eNB to distinguish whether the received scheduling request is for allocating resources for transmitting data over the direct link channel or over the eNB, UE may send along with the scheduling information also identification information associated to the scheduling information.

Abstract: The invention relates to the allocation of radio resources by a transmitting user equipment to perform a plurality of direct SL transmissions to one or more receiving user equipments. The allocation of radio resources within a SC period is restricted, for the SC period, by a maximum number of SL processes with which a transmitting user equipment is configured. A plurality of SL grants is acquired. Among the acquired SL grants a number of those SL grants is selected that have most recently been acquired before the start of the subsequent SC period. A plurality of SL processes is associated such that each of the plurality of SL process is associated with a different one of the selected number of SL grants. For each of the plurality of the SL processes, the radio resources are allocated. Each of the plurality of SL transmissions comprises at least one SCI transmission and at least one data transmission over the SL interface.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for efficiently discarding data packets destined to a mobile station connected to both a master base station and a secondary base station. The master base station configures a secondary discard function in a lower layer of the secondary base station, based on the master discard function in the higher layer of the master base station. The master base station forwards the data packet from the higher layer to the lower of the secondary base station. The secondary discard function of the lower layer at the secondary base station discards the received data packet upon expiry of the secondary timer started by the lower layer upon reception of the data packet from the higher layer at the master base station.

Abstract: The present invention relates to transmitting user equipment for transmitting data to a receiving user equipment over a direct link connection in a communication system. The transmitting user equipment is adapted to request resources for discovery transmission in the communication system and comprises a generating unit configured to generate a resource request message for allocation of resources for discovery transmission. The resource request message includes information on the amount of data to be transmitted and on discovery indication. The transmitting user equipment may further include a transmitting unit configured to transmit to a base station the generated resource request message, and a receiving unit adapted to receive from the base station a resource configuration message allocating the requested resources for discovery transmission.

Abstract: The present disclosure mainly relates to improvements for the buffer status reporting and the logical channel prioritization procedures performed in the UE, in scenarios where the UE is in dual connectivity and the PDCP layer of the UE is shared in the uplink for MeNB and SeNB. According to the present disclosure, a ratio is introduced according to which the buffer values for the PDCP are split in the UE between the SeNB and the MeNB according to said ratio.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for transmitting a periodic channel quality report (CSI) and/or a sounding reference symbol (SRS) from a UE to an eNodeB. To avoid double decoding at the eNodeB in transient phases, a deterministic behavior of the UE is defined by the invention, according to which the eNodeB can unambiguously determine whether the UE will transmit the CSI/SRS or not. According to one embodiment, the UL grants and/or DL assignments received until and including subframe N−4 only are considered; UL grants and/or DL assignments received by the UE after subframe N−4 are discarded for the determination. Additionally, DRX-related timers at subframe N−4 are considered for the determination. In a second embodiment, DRX MAC control elements from the eNodeB, instructing the UE to enter DRX, i.e., become Non-Active, are only considered for the determination if they are received before subframe N−4, i.e., until and including subframe N−(4+k).
