Abstract

Disclosed are a method and device for allocating cell resources of a device to device (D2D) system, which are used for improving the communication reliability of nodes located in different cell edge areas in an edge area ad hoc network manner. Provided is a method for allocating cell resources of a device to device (D2D) system, comprising: determining an edge area for D2D resource coordination of a cell; and allocating a resource pool to a node in the edge area, wherein the node in the edge area selects a resource from the resource pool in an ad hoc manner for communication, the resource being a time slot or time frequency block.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for allocating a cell resource in a Device to Device (D2D) system, the method comprises:
determining an edge area, to be D2D-resource coordinated, of a cell according to a shortest resource multiplexing distance, a size of the cell, and an allocation of the ad-hoc pool of resources; and
allocating an ad-hoc pool of resources for a node in the edge area, wherein the node in the edge area obtains a resource in a distributed mode from the ad-hoc pool of resources, and reports obtained resource to a base station, the distributed mode comprises underlying sensing and interaction, and
determining a resulting resource for the node in the edge area according to the obtained resource reported by the node in the edge area and a collision occurring between the node in the edge area and a node in a central area; wherein the resource is a timeslot or a time-frequency block;
wherein the edge area in the cell shares the ad-hoc pool of resources with a central area other than the edge area; or shares resources allocated for the edge area with an adjacent cell to the cell;
wherein if a node in a central area of the present cell shares a resource with the node in the edge area, the method further comprises:
receiving information which is about the resource occupied by the node in the edge area and transmitted by the node in the edge area; and
allocating a resource for the node in the central area according to the information about the resource occupied by the node in the edge area.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:
determining collision occurring between a node in a central area of the present cell, and a node in an edge area of an adjacent cell according to strong interference information reported by the node in the edge area of the present cell, positional information of the node, and positional information of a node occupying the timeslot with resource collision, indicated by the node reporting the strong interference information, and the shortest resource multiplexing distance, upon reception of the reported strong interference information, and to adjust a resource of the node in the central area of the present cell;
and/or
to determine collision occurring between a node in a central area of the present cell, and a node in a central area of an adjacent cell according to strong interference information reported by the node in the central area of the present cell, positional information of the node, and positional information of a node occupying the timeslot with resource collision, indicated by the node reporting the strong interference information, and the shortest resource multiplexing distance, upon reception of reported strong interference information, and to adjust a resource of the node in the central area of the present cell.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein when the edge area shares resources allocated for the edge area with an adjacent cell to the cell, a resource accessed by a node in a central area in a same cell is orthogonal to a resource accessed by the node in the edge area.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein different resources are allocated for the edge areas of different cells; or a same resource is allocated by an adjacent eNB for the edge area of the adjacent cell.

5. An apparatus for allocating a cell resource in a Device to Device (D2D) system, the apparatus comprises:
a processor configured to read and execute a program in a memory;
to determine an edge area, to be D2D-resource coordinated, of a cell according to a shortest resource multiplexing distance, a size of the cell, and an allocation of the ad-hoc pool of resources; and
to allocate an ad-hoc pool of resources for a node in the edge area, wherein the node in the edge area obtains a resource in a distributed mode from the ad-hoc pool of resources, and reports obtained resource to the apparatus; the distributed mode comprises underlying sensing and interaction, and
to determine a resulting resource for the node in the edge area according to the obtained resource reported by the node in the edge area and a collision occurring between the node in the edge area and a node in a central area; wherein the resource is a timeslot or a time-frequency block;
wherein the edge area in the cell shares the ad-hoc pool of resources with a central area other than the edge area; or shares resources allocated for the edge area with an adjacent cell to the cell;
wherein if a node in a central area of the present cell shares a resource with the node in the edge area, the processor is further configured:
to receive information which is about the resource occupied by the node in the edge area and transmitted by the node in the edge area; and
to allocate a resource for the node in the central area according to the information about the resource occupied by the node in the edge area.

6. The apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured:
to determine collision occurring between a node in a central area of the present cell, and a node in an edge area of an adjacent cell according to strong interference information reported by the node in the edge area of the present cell, positional information of the node, and positional information of a node occupying the timeslot with resource collision, indicated by the node reporting the strong interference information, and the shortest resource multiplexing distance, upon reception of the reported strong interference information, and to adjust a resource of the node in the central area of the present cell;
and/or
to determine collision occurring between a node in a central area of the present cell, and a node in a central area of an adjacent cell according to strong interference information reported by the node in the central area of the present cell, positional information of the node, and positional information of a node occupying the timeslot with resource collision, indicated by the node reporting the strong interference information, and the shortest resource multiplexing distance, upon reception of the reported strong interference information, and to adjust a resource of the node in the central area of the present cell.

7. The apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein when the edge area shares resources allocated for the edge area with an adjacent cell to the cell, a resource accessed by a node in a central area in the same cell is orthogonal to a resource accessed by the node in the edge area.

8. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the processor allocates different resources for the edge areas of different cells; or a same resource is allocated by a processor in an adjacent eNB for the edge area of the adjacent cell.
