Abstract
There is provided a communication apparatus including a setting unit that sets a resource for device-to-device communication, in which the setting unit sets a resource pool including a plurality of sub resource pools as a resource for the device-to-device communication. One of the sub resource pools is an anchor sub resource pool that stores control information for monitoring by the device that performs the device-to-device communication.
Claims15
A communication apparatus, comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- set a first resource pool including a plurality of sub resource pools,
- wherein the plurality of sub resource pools corresponds to a first resource for device-to-device communication;
- and
- set a setting position of an anchor sub resource pool among the plurality of sub resource pools, wherein
- the anchor sub resource pool is for a device that performs the device-to-device communication, and
- the anchor sub resource pool stores control information monitored by the device;
- set a second resource pool for each of the control information and first data associated with the anchor sub resource pool;
- and
- set a third resource pool for second data associated with non-anchor sub resource pools of the plurality of sub resource pools.

A communication apparatus, comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- set a plurality of sub resource pools in a resource pool assigned from a base station,
- wherein the plurality of sub resource pools corresponds to a first resource for device-to-device communication;
- and
- set a setting position of an anchor sub resource pool among the plurality of sub resource pools, wherein
- the anchor sub resource pool is for a device that performs the device-to-device communication, and
- the anchor sub resource pool stores control information monitored by the device;
- calculate a channel usage rate of a non-anchor sub resource pool of the plurality of sub resource pools;
- and
- transmit a resource addition request to the base station in a case where the calculated channel usage rate is equal to or greater than a specific threshold.

A terminal apparatus, comprising:
- a processor configured to control device-to-device communication in a resource pool assigned by a communication apparatus, wherein
- the resource pool includes a plurality of sub resource pools,
- one of the plurality of sub resource pools is an anchor sub resource pool,
- the communication apparatus sets a setting position of the anchor sub resource pool,
- the anchor sub resource pool stores control information for the device-to-device communication, and
- the communication apparatus:
- calculates a channel usage rate of a non-anchor sub resource pool of the plurality of sub resource pools, and
- transmits a resource addition request to a base station in a case where the calculated channel usage rate is equal to or greater than a specific threshold.
