- the D2D SIB is multiplexed into a normal D2D Control / Data resource pool (PSCCH / PSSCH resource pool). Therefore, an ID dedicated to D2D SIB is provided as a destination ID in “control information” and / or “Data MAC header”. Thereby, the UE on the receiving side that detects the ID can identify that the control information / data is D2D SIB.
- the M2 bit in the control information may be set to 64QAM to provide a D2D SIB indicator. Since it is defined not to set 64QAM as the MCS, the receiving UE that has received the control information including the MCS can identify that the control information is control information related to the D2D SIB. The receiving UE receives the D2D SIB using, for example, a fixed MCS (eg, QPSK).
- a fixed MCS eg, QPSK

を備えるユーザ装置が提供される。
他のユーザ装置がD2D制御情報を受信するためのリソースの構成情報と、前記D2D制御情報が送信されることを示す情報とをD2D用報知チャネルを用いて送信する報知チャネル情報送信ステップと、
前記リソースを用いて、前記D2D制御情報を送信する制御情報送信ステップと
を備える制御情報送信方法が提供される。
図3は、本発明の実施の形態に係る通信システムの構成図である。本実施の形態に係る通信システムは、eNB10のカバレッジ(セル)内にUE1が存在するセルラ通信システムである。カバレッジ内のUE1はD2D通信機能を有しており、カバレッジ内の他UEとの間でD2D通信を行うことが可能である。また、カバレッジ内のUE1はカバレッジ外のUE2とD2D通信を行うことも可能である。カバレッジ外のUE2もD2D通信機能を有しており、他UEとの間でD2D通信を行うことが可能である。更に、カバレッジ内のUE1はeNB10との間で通常のセルラ通信を行うことが可能である。
D2D通信における信号の送受信は、セルラ通信における上りリンクのリソースの一部を使用して行われる。D2D通信のチャネル構造の例を図5A、Bに示す。図5Aに示すように、Communicationに使用されるPSCCHのリソースプール及びPSSCHのリソースプールが割り当てられている。また、Communicationのチャネルの周期よりも長い周期でDiscoveryに使用されるPSDCHのリソースプールが割り当てられている。
前述したように、PSBCHのペイロードサイズは限られている。特に、将来の拡張のために用意されているreserved fieldは19ビットしかない。従って、例えば、カバレッジ内UEをリレーとして使用して、ネットワークとカバレッジ外UEとの間でデータ通信を行う場合に、既存のPSBCHでは、カバレッジ外UEに対してD2D通信を行うためのPSDCH、PSCCH/PSSCH等のリソースプールを通知できない。
PSBCHにより送信されるD2D SIB受信のためのコンフィギュレーションの情報は、例えば、PSBCHのreserved fieldに含まれて送信される。
D2D SIB受信のためのリソースプールのコンフィギュレーションとしては、シグナリングオーバヘッドを減らすために、以下のようなコンフィギュレーションを用いることができる。以下、固定とした情報については、各UEが当該情報を把握しており、UE1からUE2へ当該情報を送信することは不要である。
前述したように、本実施の形態では、Discoveryメッセージに基づくフォーットを利用してD2DSIBを送信する。
UE共通D2D SIB(セル固有D2D SIB)の送信については、例えば、eNB10から割り当てられるtype 2Bリソース(セミスタティック)を用いる。これにより、通常のDiscoveryで使用されるリソースプールと重ならないリソースプールを当該D2D SIBの送信に用いることができる。当該UE共通D2D SIBは、UE間で共通の上記リソースで送信される。Type 1(UE自律リソース割り当て)を用いた場合には、受信UEは前記D2D SIBのインデックス情報を用いて複数UEから重複して送信されたD2D SIBを検出することができ、不要な情報をフィルタリングすることができる。UE固有D2D SIBについては、例えばtype 1及びtype 2Bのリソースを用いることができる。
例えば、カバレッジ外のUE2は、PSBCHの中のD2D SIBインジケータを検出した場合、PSBCHに含まれるD2D SIB受信のための情報を利用して、付随するD2D SIBの検出を実施する。もしもUE2がD2D SIBの検出に失敗した場合、例えば、事前設定の情報(pre-configuration)を使用してD2D Communication/Discoveryを行う。
これまでは、D2D SIBをdiscoveryを利用して送信する例を説明したが、D2D SIBをcommunicationを利用して送信することとしてもよい。つまり、制御情報/データ(PSCCH/PSSCH)のメッセージを利用してD2D SIBを送信する。
図17に、D2Dリレーを行う際のプロトコルの例を示す。図17に示す例では、IPレイヤでのリレーが行われる。本実施の形態では、図17に示すように、IPレイヤのリレーを行うものとするが、リレーのレイヤはIPで限らず、IPよりも低レイヤでリレーを行ってもよい。
図19は、本実施の形態に係るリレー初期化(リレー通信を開始するための処理)の手順例を示す図である。図19を参照して手順の概要を説明する。詳細についてはその後に説明する。図19の例における通信システムの構成は図3に示したものと同じであるが、図19の例では、リレーUEとなり得るカバレッジ内UEが複数台示されている。これらはUE1A、UE1B、UE1Cと記述されている。以下、1A~1Cを特に区別しない場合、UE1と記述する。また、本実施の形態では、基本的に、UE1はアクティブ化されるまではリレーになり得ず、アクティブ化されてからリレーになり得る。よって、基本的に、アクティブ化された後のUE1をリレー候補と呼び、リモートUEによりリレーとして選択されたUEをリレーUEと呼ぶ。
ステップS30において、リレー候補UEの中からリレーUEが選択される。リレーUEの選択においては、例えば、リモートUE2からリレー候補UE1に要求が送られ、当該要求に基づきリレー候補UE1からリモートUE2に対して信号(測定リソース)が送信され、リモートUE2は、当該測定リソースで伝送される信号の品質測定を行うことで、リレーUEとするUEを選択する。以下、「測定リソース」は、当該リソースで送信される信号の意味で使用する場合がある。
カバレッジ内にあるUEの全てがNWカバレッジ拡張のためのD2Dリレーに適しているわけではない。そこで、本実施の形態では、適切なカバレッジ内UEのみをアクティブ化して、リレー候補UEとして動作させることとしている。
次に、UEがD2Dリレー可能であることを示すリレー可能通知(Indication of relay enabled NW/UE)を行うことを含む処理について図21を参照して説明する。
図22に、本実施の形態に係るUEの機能構成図を示す。図22に示すUEは、本実施の形態で説明したカバレッジ内UEとカバレッジ外UEのどちらにでもなり得るUEであるが、例えば、カバレッジ内UEの機能のみ、もしくはカバレッジ外UEの機能のみを備えることとしてもよい。また、図22に示す例では、リレーを行う機能を含んでいるが、これは例であり、リレーを行う機能を含まない構成としてもよい。
図24に、本実施の形態に係るeNBの機能構成図を示す。図24に示すように、eNBは、信号送信部201、信号受信部202、UE情報記憶部203、アクティブ化/非アクティブ化決定部204、リソース情報記憶部205、スケジューリング部206を含む。なお、図24は、eNBにおいて本発明の実施の形態に特に関連する機能部のみを示すものであり、少なくともLTEに準拠した移動通信システムにおける基地局として動作するための図示しない機能も有するものである。また、図24に示す機能構成は一例に過ぎない。本実施の形態に係る動作を実行できるのであれば、機能区分や機能部の名称はどのようなものでもよい。
