METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING SCHEDULING OF CELLULAR BASED DEVICE TO DEVICE COMMUNICATION

摘要

Disclosed are a method and apparatus for providing the scheduling of cellular based device to device communication. A method for scheduling a cellular resource used in a base station for device to device communication includes the steps of: enabling a proximity coordinator to group the cellular resource of an adjacent base station based on the cell information of the base station; managing a resource to be allocated to a device and a resource allocated to the device according to the grouped resource; and allocating the grouped resource to the device based on information about the allocated resource and the resource to be allocated if the device to device communication in different cells is requested.
