SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND DEVICES FOR DEVICE-TO-DEVICE COMMUNICATION MODE SELECTION

摘要

A user equipment (UE) includes a transmission mode component, a selection component, and a transmission component. The transmission mode component is configured to selectively allocate resources for device-to-device communication according to a plurality of transmission modes. The plurality of transmission modes include a first transmission mode in which the resources used by the UE are specifically allocated by one of a base station or relay node and a second transmission mode in which the UE selects the resources from a pool of available resources. The selection component is configured to select a selected transmission mode. The transmission component is configured to transmit signals in frequency resources selected according to the selected transmission mode.

1. User equipment (UE) comprising:
a transmission mode component configured to selectively allocate resources for device-to-device communication according to a plurality of transmission modes, the plurality of transmission modes comprising a first transmission mode in which the resources used by the UE are specifically allocated by one of a node B and an Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) Node B (eNB), and a second transmission mode in which the UE selects the resources from a pool of available resources; a selection component configured to select one of the plurality of transmission modes as a selected transmission mode based on a signal specifically indicating the selected transmission mode from the base station; and a transmission component configured to transmit signals in frequency resources selected according to the selected transmission mode.
