Abstract:
A wireless terminal transmits stop state information to a base station upon an initial network access and receives resource pool information and transmission unit information for small data transmission in the wireless terminal from the base station. The wireless terminal selects a subframe index and a transmission unit index for data transmission from a resource pool for the small data transmission and transmits data in a transmission unit corresponding to the transmission unit index within a subframe corresponding to the subframe index.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for controlling distributed transmission power in device-to-device (D2D) communication. The D2D devices individually control their transmission power for the D2D communication link. In addition, a first terminal calculates the transmission power based on the measured channel gain and interference-plus-noise level. The first terminal determines optimal transmission power based on the calculated transmission power by the first terminal, and transmits a transmission power change message including the optimal transmission power to a second terminal. Next, the second terminal transmits a D2D signal based on the optimal transmission power.
Abstract:
A method for synchronization by a D2D terminal in a D2D communication network through receiving a first D2D synchronization signal from at least one D2D synchronization source and performing synchronization according to a synchronization timing reference provided through the first D2D synchronization signal, and a method for negotiating whether to perform a role as a synchronization source with another D2D synchronization source through determining, when a D2D synchronization signal and a D2D synchronization channel are received from at least one D2D synchronization source, whether to maintain a role as the independent synchronization source based on negotiation information for negotiation between synchronization sources included in the D2D synchronization channel, and operating as a relaying synchronization source when the role as the independent synchronization source is not maintained, are provided.
Abstract:
A communication method of a terminal and a base station including a relay is provided. When the terminal attempts a connection to the base station, relays on a communication path include and transmit identifiers thereof in a first message, and the relays and the base station can simply set a communication path to the terminal. When the base station transmits data to the terminal, if the base station includes and transmits an identifier of the terminal in the data, each relay that is located on a communication path forwards data through a preset communication path.
Abstract:
A base station infers a random access failure rate depending on a random access collision of terminals performing random access and controls a random access opportunity of a terminal that fails the random access by using the random access failure rate of each terminal. Also, information for the controlled random access opportunity is transmitted to the terminal that fails the random access.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for handover is provided. In a network environment in which a plurality of beams are provided within a base station, a terminal measures signal strength of a serving beam and signal strength of a target beam and transmits a measurement report message when a first condition or a second condition is satisfied. The base station determines inter-beam coordinated scheduling when the signal strength of the serving beam and target beam satisfy the first condition, and determines handover between beams when the signal strength of the serving beam and target beam satisfy the second condition. The base station transmits a message for commanding handover to the terminal when the handover between beams is determined. The terminal then stops communicating with the serving beam and performs handover to the target beam.
Abstract:
A D2D (Device-to-Device) communication method is provided which enables a first terminal of a first group to directly communicate with other terminals of the first group without relay of a base station. The first terminal receives first data from a second terminal. The first terminal determines whether the first data is destined for the first group by using a group identifier of the first data. When the first data is destined for the first group, the first terminal identifies at least one first RLC entity, among multiple RLC (Radio Link Control) entities, that corresponds to the second terminal by using the source terminal identifier of the first data.
Abstract:
A method of a terminal may comprise: receiving system information including terrestrial cell reselection parameters and on-board cell reselection parameters; determining whether the terminal is in an on-board state with respect to a first base station; and in response to determining that the terminal is in the on-board state with respect to the first base station, performing cell reselection by applying the on-board cell reselection parameters to reception measurement on the first base station.
Abstract:
A method of a terminal may comprise: selecting one of a TN base station or NTN base station as a first base station; performing a first access registration procedure between the terminal and a core network through the first base station; identifying whether the core network supports dual-steering, based on a result of the first access registration procedure; in response to identifying that the core network supports dual-steering, performing a second access registration procedure between the terminal and the core network through a second base station other than the first base station among the TN base station or the NTN base station; and in response to a success of the second access registration procedure, performing a multiple access (MA) protocol data unit (PDU) session establishment procedure according to dual-steering through the first base station.
Abstract:
A D2D (Device-to-Device) discovery method is provided which enables a first terminal within a first cell to discover a second terminal within a second cell without relay of a base station. The first terminal receives, from a first base station of the first cell, information about a first resource for D2D discovery through a SIB (System Information Block) or RRC (Radio Resource Control) message. The first terminal transmits a D2D discovery signal using the first resource.
