METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING DEVICE-TO-DEVICE (D2D) COMMUNICATION IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method of a User Equipment (UE) served by an evolved Node B (eNB) for supporting device to device (D2D) communication, the method comprising:
- the UE receives a message that includes information pertaining to a first resource pool provided by the eNB, wherein resources of the first resource pool are common resources shared by more than one UE using the first resource pool;
the UE is configured with a second resource pool provided by the eNB, wherein the second resource pool is different from the first resource pool; and
the UE selects resource(s) from the second resource pool and uses the selected resource(s) for D2D transmission.

Abstract
A method of a UE being served by a eNB for supporting device to device (D2D) communication is disclosed. The method includes the UE receiving a message that includes information pertaining to a first resource pool provided by the eNB, wherein resources of the first resource pool are common resources shared by more than one UE using the first resource pool. The method further includes the UE being configured with a second resource pool provided by the eNB, wherein the second resource pool is different from the first resource pool. Furthermore, the method includes the UE selecting resource(s) from the second resource pool and uses the selected resource(s) for D2D transmission.

12. A communication device for supporting device to device (D2D) communication, the communication device comprising:
-
a control circuit; a processor installed in the control circuit; and a memory installed in the control circuit and operatively coupled to the processor; wherein the processor is configured to execute a program code stored in the memory to; enable a UE to be served by a eNB (evolved Node B); enable the UE to receive a message that includes information pertaining to a first resource pool provided by the eNB, wherein resources of the first resource pool are common resources shared by more than one UE using the first resource pool; enable the UE to be configured with a second resource pool provided by the eNB, wherein the second resource pool is different from the first resource pool; and enable the UE to select resource(s) from the second resource pool and to use the selected resource(s) for D2D (Device-to-Device) transmission. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
