METHOD OF COMMUNICATION IN AN ACCESS NETWORK WITH D2D COMMUNICATION, AND A CORRESPONDING BASE STATION, COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT, AND DATA MEDIUM

摘要

A communication method is provided, which is implemented by a base station of an access network in order to allocate spectrum resources among terminals identified by the station, the station having already allocated all of its spectrum resources to identified terminals having communication set up via the base station. These terminals determine a group of terminals. The method includes: verifying admissibility of a pair of terminals that are candidates for direct communication by determining a set of served terminals that are candidates for sharing their respective spectrum resources with the pair under the sole constraint of the candidate terminal and the pair satisfying their respective QoS criteria.

1. A communication method implemented by a base station of an access network in order to allocate spectrum resources among terminals (CU, D2D) identified by the station, the station having already allocated all of its spectrum resources to identified terminals CUi having communication set up via the base station, which terminals are said to be “served”, the method comprising, for each pair D2Dj of terminals that are candidates for direct communication:
verifying admissibility of the pair D2Dj by determining a set Rj of served terminals CUi that are candidates for sharing their respective spectrum resources with the pair D2Dj under the sole constraint of the candidate terminal CUi and the pair D2Dj satisfying their respective Quality of Service (QoS) criteria, the set Rj being determined independently of determining a set Rk of terminals CUi determined for any other pair D2Dj of terminals that are candidates for direct communication other than the pair D2Dj.
