APPARATUS AND METHOD IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An apparatus in a wireless communication system, comprising:
- a dynamic network planning triggering unit configured to trigger a dynamic network planning in a region managed by the apparatus based on a predetermined trigger event, wherein the dynamic network planning comprises selecting a master user equipment for a device to device communication, the master user equipment receives a signal from a base station and relays a signal between the base station and a slave user equipment during the device to device communication; and
a master user equipment selecting unit configured to select one or more user equipment from user equipment in the region as master user equipment based on a channel quality between the base station and the user equipment, wherein if a plurality of master user equipment are selected and the plurality of master user equipment use the same communication resource, a distance between the master user equipment is larger than an interval distance.

Abstract
An apparatus and method in a wireless communication system. The apparatus includes a dynamic network planning trigger unit and a master user equipment selecting unit. The dynamic network planning trigger unit triggers, based on a predetermined trigger event, a dynamic network planning in an area managed by the apparatus. The dynamic network planning includes selection of a master user equipment used for device-to-device communication, and the master user equipment receives signals from a base station during the device-to-device communication process and relays signals between the base station and a slave user equipment. The master user equipment selecting unit selects, from user equipment in the area according to quality of channels between the user equipment and the base station, one or more user equipment as master user equipment, distances between the master user equipment being greater than the intervals.
