Abstract:
If a master device in device-to-device direct communication designates an object type of a target to be communicated with, transmits a target discovery request message including the object type of the target to be communicated with to a plurality of neighboring target devices, and receives a target discovery response message from one or more target devices corresponding to the object type of the target to be communicated with among the plurality of target devices, the master device determines one target device among one or more target devices as the target to be communicated with.
Abstract:
There are provided an antenna apparatus and a method of handover using the antenna apparatus. The antenna apparatus may comprise a plurality of antenna elements forming a plurality of beams in a predetermined service area. The plurality of antenna elements are arranged in a plurality of rows, and a number of antenna elements included in an uppermost row of the plurality of rows is smaller than a number of antenna elements included in a downmost row of the plurality of rows, and differences between center angles of beams formed by the antenna elements included in the downmost row are larger than differences between center angles of beams formed by the antenna elements included in the uppermost row.
Abstract:
A method of and an apparatus therefor searching a cell in a mobile station of a communication system in which a plurality of cells are grouped into a plurality of cell groups, and each cell group includes at least two cells. The method includes detecting a primary synchronization signal and a secondary synchronization signal from a received signal, and identifying a cell based on a combination of the primary synchronization signal and the secondary synchronization signal. The secondary synchronization signal is related to the cell group to which the mobile station belongs and the primary synchronization signal is related to the cell to which the mobile station belongs within the cell group.
Abstract:
A base station and terminal that transmit/receive scheduling information about a data channel through a first carrier and that transmit/receive a data channel corresponding to scheduling information through a second carrier having a carrier type different from that of the first carrier are provided.

Abstract:
An apparatus and method for enabling a device-to-device (D2D) communication, despite an identifier (ID) of a target device being unknown are provided. The apparatus may include a target device determining unit to select primary target devices based on relative distance information between a main device and a target device for communication with the main device, and to determine a final target device based on relative distance information between the main device and each of the primary target devices, a transmitter to transmit, to each of the primary target devices, a selection notification message and a relative distance information request message that are generated by the target device determining unit, and a receiver to receive, from each of the primary target devices, a response message corresponding to the selection notification message, and relative distance information used to determine a final target device.
