Abstract:
A method of providing service continuity between cellular communication and device-to-device communication is disclosed. A procedure for switching between cellular communication and device-to-device communication according to an example embodiment of the present invention may include transferring, by a gateway, a D2D bearer creation request message to an MME, transferring, by the MME, the D2D bearer creation request message to a base station, mapping, by the base station, D2D bearer QoS to D2D radio bearer QoS and transmitting an RRC connection reconfiguration message to terminals, receiving, by the base station, an RRC connection reconfiguration completion message indicating creation of a D2D radio bearer from the terminals, transmitting, by the base station, a D2D bearer creation response message indicating creation of a D2D bearer to the MME, and transferring, by the MME, the D2D bearer creation response message to the gateway.
Abstract:
Provided are a device-to-device (D2D) group communication method and a device using the same. The method includes transmitting a scheduling request for D2D group communication to a base station, receiving first radio resource information for a status report of D2D data to be transmitted from the base station, transmitting a D2D buffer status report to the base station through a first radio resource, receiving second radio resource information including D2D resource allocation information necessary for the D2D group communication from the base station, and transmitting control information for the D2D group communication including a D2D group identifier (ID) as a device ID and D2D user data to two or more communication partner devices belonging to the D2D group.
Abstract:
A method for setting synchronization between terminals performing device-to-device (D2D) communication based on a cellular communication system is disclosed. The method for setting synchronization between terminals includes receiving a message instructing synchronization setting with an opposite terminal from a base station, selecting a first preamble transmitted for a synchronization setting with the opposite terminal based on the message instructing synchronization setting, transmitting the selected first preamble to the opposite terminal, receiving a second preamble from the opposite terminal, and setting the synchronization with the opposite terminal using a reception timing of the second preamble when the second preamble is a preamble designated in the message instructing synchronization setting. Thus, when the present invention is used, synchronization between two terminals performing direct communication may be set using a physical layer random access channel resource which has been used in an existing mobile communication system.
