摘要:
Device-to-device (D2D) communication is one alternative to communication between devices through a radio access network. One interesting D2D communication method is reuse-mode D2D, where D2D nodes communicate with each other using the same uplink (UL) radio resource that is being used by some other cellular user equipment(s) (UEs). In other words, the UL cellular resources occupied by cellular UEs are reused by D2D nodes in their short-range communications. Centralized control of D2D communication can be performed by appropriate signaling between a D2D-capable UE and an evolved Node B (eNB).

The present invention proposes a method and corresponding apparatus for coordinating the executions of intra-radio handover, wherein the method comprising determining an intra-radio handover is to be executed on a communication device; and coordinating the execution of the intra-radio handover to determine whether to postpone the execution of the intra-radio handover, so that there is at least one active radio on the communication device.

According to one embodiment, a method for transmission/reception contention resolution in D2D communication is provided. The method includes detecting, at a device-to-device (D2D) node, re-usable cellular resources based on the scheduling information. The method also includes receiving related information from another D2D node identifying the re-usable cellular resources for the another D2D node, and identifying common and different re-usable cellular resources between the D2D node and the another D2D node. The method also includes receiving updated scheduling information, and determining, from the detected re-usable cellular resources, whether there is a simultaneous transmission/reception contention. When it is determined that there is a simultaneous transmission/reception contention, the method includes resolving the contention by dynamically selecting a direction of communication based on a preconfigured decision criteria, wherein the direction of communication is one of transmission or reception.

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for selecting between a device-to-device link or a 2-hop cellular link In one aspect there is provided a method. The method may include monitoring, at a user equipment, a paging signal, the paging signal including a random access preamble index assigned to another user equipment. The user equipment may be configured to use the random access preamble index assigned to the another user equipment, and receive a signal comprising a random access preamble. The user equipment may measure the received signal to generate an indication representative of a quality of the received signal. Based on the indication rather than a dedicated probe, a determination may be made regarding whether to establish a first connection directly to the another user equipment. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.
摘要:
Various methods for providing control signaling in a multi-radio access environment are provided. One example method includes implementing radio resource management and a general link layer jointly across at least two radio access technology modules, and selecting one of the radio access technology modules to perform control signaling in a multi-radio environment. Similar and related example methods and example apparatuses are also provided.

摘要:
A method including sending a multicast packet to a cluster of recipients; receiving information indicating receiving status relating to the multicast packet from individual members of the cluster of recipients; and initiating intra-cluster retransmission of said multicast packet by sending to the cluster of recipients collective information about the receiving statuses of the members of the cluster of recipients.
