Abstract

A communication system including a first base station, a second base station and user equipment (UE). The first base station including: a transmitter to transmit to the second base station a first signal comprising information about device-to-device (D2D) communication of the UE, a receiver to receive from the second base station a second signal including a configuration information, that includes information on a resource pool configured in a second mode by the second base station, or a resource location of a resource allocated in the first mode by the second base station; and a transmitter to transmit to the UE a Radio Resource Control (RRC) Message including the configuration information after receiving the second signal; the second base station to receive from the first base station the first signal to transmit the second signal; and a receiver configured to receive from the UE a third signal for wireless connection.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A communication system comprising a first base station, a second base station and a user equipment (UE), the communication system comprising:
the first base station including:
a first transmitter configured to transmit to the second base station a first signal comprising information about device-to-device (D2D) communication of the UE,
a first receiver configured to receive from the second base station a second signal comprising a configuration information, the configuration information including information on a resource pool for the UE to select a resource for D2D communication to be used in a second mode among a first mode and the second mode in a cell of the second base station; and
a second transmitter configured to transmit to the UE a Radio Resource Control (RRC) Message including the configuration information after receiving the second signal;

the second base station including:
a second receiver configured to receive from the first base station the first signal;
a third transmitter configured to transmit to the first base station the second signal; and
a third receiver configured to receive from the UE a third signal for wireless connection;

the UE including:
a fourth receiver configured to receive from the first base station the RRC message;
a fourth transmitter configured to transmit to the second base station the third signal after receiving the RRC message; and
processor circuitry configured to select the resource for D2D communication used in the second mode among the first mode and the second mode in the cell of the second base station.

2. The communication system according to claim 1 , the configuration information further including information indicating whether the second base station supports a resource allocation scheme in the first mode.

3. A user equipment (UE) comprising:
a receiver configured to receive a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message including a configuration information from a first base station, the configuration information including information from a second base station on a resource pool for the UE to select a resource for D2D communication used in a second mode among a first mode and the second mode;
processor circuitry configured to select the resource for D2D communication used in the second mode among the first mode and the second mode; and
a transmitter configured to transmit to the second base station a second signal for wireless connection after receiving the RRC message.

4. The UE according to claim 3 , wherein, the transmitter configured to transmit to the first base station a third signal including measurement result, and the receiver configured to receive from the first base station the RRC message including Mobility Control Information after that the first base station selected the second base station according to measurement result.

5. The UE according to claim 3 , the configuration information further including information indicating whether the second base station supports a resource allocation scheme in the first mode.

6. A communication system comprising a first base station, a second base station and a user equipment (UE), the communication system comprising:
the first base station including:
a transmitter configured to transmit to the second base station a first signal comprising information about device-to-device (D2D) communication of the UE,
a receiver configured to receive from the second base station a second signal comprising a configuration information, the configuration information including information on a resource pool for the UE to select a resource for D2D communication to be used in a second mode among a first mode and the second mode in a cell of the second base station; and
the transmitter further configured to transmit to the UE a Radio Resource Control (RRC) Message including the configuration information after receiving the second signal;

the second base station including:
a receiver configured to receive from the first base station the first signal;
a transmitter configured to transmit to the first base station the second signal; and
the receiver further configured to receive from the UE a third signal for wireless connection;

the UE including:
a receiver configured to receive from the first base station the RRC message;
a transmitter configured to transmit to the second base station the third signal after receiving the RRC message; and
processor circuitry configured to select the resource for D2D communication used in the second mode among the first mode and the second mode in the cell of the second base station.
