Abstract

A mobile communication system according to the present invention is a mobile communication system that supports a D2D (Device-to-Device) proximity service in which direct communication not passing through a network is enabled, and comprises: a first user terminal configured to transmit notification information for notifying presence of first D2D communication data scheduled to be directly transmitted to another user terminal. The first user terminal is further configured to transmit, after transmitting the notification information, control information indicating a location of a data resource used for transmitting the first D2D communication data.

First claim

1 . A mobile communication system that supports a D2D (Device-to-Device) proximity service in which direct communication not passing through a network is enabled, comprising:
a first user terminal configured to transmit notification information for notifying presence of first D2D communication data scheduled to be directly transmitted to another user terminal, wherein the first user terminal is further configured to transmit, after transmitting the notification information, control information indicating a location of a data resource used for transmitting the first D2D communication data.

2 . The mobile communication system according to claim 1 , further comprising: second user terminal configured to hold second D2D communication data scheduled to be directly transmitted to another user terminal, wherein
the notification information is emergency information indicating that a content of the second D2D communication data is a content of emergency, and if the emergency information is received, the second user terminal cancels transmission of the control information.

3 . The mobile communication system according to claim 2 , wherein if the content of the second D2D communication data is a content of emergency, the second user terminal transmits the control information without canceling the transmission of the control information even if the emergency information is received.

4 . The mobile communication system according to claim 3 , wherein the emergency information includes information indicating a level of emergency of the first D2D communication data, and
the second user terminal cancels the transmission of the control information if a level of emergency of the second D2D communication data is lower than a level of emergency indicated by the information included in the emergency information.

5 . The mobile communication system according to claim 2 , wherein a dedicated time-frequency resource used for transmitting the emergency information is periodically provided in a time axis direction, and
the second user terminal receives the emergency information, and thereafter, if the emergency information is not received by the dedicated time-frequency resource in a next cycle, restarts the transmission of the control information.

6 . The mobile communication system according to claim 2 , wherein the emergency information includes information indicating a level of emergency of the first D2D communication data, and
the second user terminal receives the first D2D communication data and preferentially displays on a user interface the first D2D communication data having a high level of emergency.

7 . The mobile communication system according to claim 1 , further comprising: second user terminal configured to transmit the control information before the first user terminal, wherein
the second user terminal is further configured to select a terminal that transmits the control information next, on a basis of the notification information, and only if the first user terminal is selected as the terminal, the first user terminal transmits the control information.

8 . The mobile communication system according to claim 7 , wherein the first user terminal transmits the notification information by use of a dedicated time-frequency resource for transmitting the notification information, and
the second user terminal receives the notification information by a scan of an area in which the dedicated time-frequency resource is provided.

9 . The mobile communication system according to claim 8 , wherein the second user terminal transmits, together with the control information, information for indicating a location of the dedicated time-frequency resource for transmitting the notification information.

10 . The mobile communication system according to claim 7 , wherein the second user terminal transmits the terminal information by use of a dedicated time-frequency resource for transmitting transmission terminal information indicating the selected transmission terminal, and
the user terminal receives the notification information by a scan of an area in which the dedicated time-frequency resource is provided.

11 . The mobile communication system according to claim 10 , wherein the second user terminal transmits, together with the control information, information for designating a location of the dedicated time-frequency resource for transmitting the transmission terminal information.

12 . A user terminal comprising:
a controller including at least a processor and at least a memory, wherein the controller is configured to transmit notification information for notifying presence of D2D (Device-to-Device) communication data scheduled to be transmitted, and the controller transmits, after transmitting the notification information, control information indicating a location of a data resource used for transmitting the D2D communication data.

13 . A user terminal comprising:
a controller including at least a processor and at least a memory, wherein the controller is configured to receive, from an another terminal, notification information for notifying presence of D2D (Device-to-Device) communication data scheduled to be transmitted by the another user terminal, wherein the controller cancels transmission of control information if the notification information is emergency information, the control information indicating a location of a data resource to be used for transmitting the D2D communication data, and the emergency information is information indicating that a content of the D2D communication data is a content of emergency.
