Abstract:
A method and apparatus for exchanging information between devices for use in the pairing process for Device To Device (D2D) communication is provided. A signal transmission/reception method of a device in a mobile communication system includes determining a resource for the device to transmit a pairing signal, transmitting a discovery signal including information on the determined resource, pairing with a neighbor device that received the discovery signal through the resource indicated by the resource information, and communicating data signals with the paired neighbor device. The information exchange method and apparatus for D2D communication is capable of preventing a plurality of devices from attempting pairing on the same frequency simultaneously, thereby improving pairing efficiency and reducing power consumption of the device.
Abstract:
A network-assisted discovery method and apparatus for facilitating Device to Device (D2D) communication in the wireless communication system is provided. The network-assisted discovery method of a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising, broadcasting a discovery signal information in a discovery signal transmission duration of the terminal, receiving assisted discovery information from a base station, determining whether the assisted discovery information comprises the discovery information of the terminal and determining whether to transmit a discovery transmission request message to the base station based on the result of the determination. The network-assisted discovery method and apparatus of the present disclosure is capable of mitigating the problems caused by resource collision and reducing power consumption of the device in the D2D wireless communication system.
Abstract:
A link scheduling apparatus and method based on inter-link interference information sharing technique for use in a Device to Device (D2D) communication system is provided. A link scheduling method of a transmission node in a wireless communication system supporting direct communication between the transmission and recipient nodes includes receiving interference information of at least one recipient node from at least one recipient node, the interference occurring from at least one transmission node to at least one reception node, scheduling links based on the interference information; and transmitting data according to the scheduled links.
Abstract:
A two-hop link transmission method and apparatus are provided. The method includes establishing a two-hop link and scheduling transmission on the two-hop link in a Device-To-Device (D2D) communication network. The two-hop link transmission method includes identifying neighbor terminals available for communication with the transmission terminal, selecting one of the neighboring terminals as a recipient terminal, determining a type of a link to be established with the selected neighboring terminal between a single-hop link and two-hop link types, selecting, when the two-hop link type is determined, a relay terminal among the neighboring terminals, establishing the two-hop link with the recipient terminal via the relay terminal, allocating a Multi-Hop Connection Identifier (MCID) for the two-hop link, and transmitting data to the recipient terminal through the two hop link.
