INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES AIMING AT THE REDUCTION OF THEIR OWN ENERGY USE ## Abstract Provided are a transmitting method, a receiving method, a relay device, a base station and a mobile station. According to embodiments of the present invention, the method for transmitting grant information performed by the relay device includes: receiving the grant information for inter-device transmission and a transmitting device identification and a receiving device identification corresponding to the grant information; generating first control information according to the grant information, the transmitting device identification and the receiving device identification; and transmitting the first control information. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A relay device comprising: a receiving unit configured to receive grant information for inter-device transmission and a transmitting device identification and a receiving device identification corresponding to the grant information; a processor configured to generate first control information according to the grant information, the transmitting device identification and the receiving device identification; and a transmitting unit configured to transmit the first control information to terminal devices performing the inter-device transmission, wherein the relay device is different from the terminal devices performing the inter-device transmission, and the receiving unit is further configured to receive scheduling information, the transmitting unit transmits the first control information according to the scheduling information, and wherein the relay device discards a not-transmitted part of the first control information when the entire first control information cannot be transmitted within a predetermined time period. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The relay device of claim 1, wherein the processor adds the grant information, the transmitting device identification and the receiving device identification into an information field of the first control information, to generate the first control information. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The relay device of claim 2, wherein the transmitting unit transmits the first control information by using a resource block in a Scheduling Assignment resource pool. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The relay device of claim 2, wherein the transmitting unit transmits the first control information by using a resource block in a unicast resource pool. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) The relay device of claim 2, wherein the receiving unit receives a plurality of pieces of grant information, and a transmission device identification and a receiving device identification corresponding to each of the plurality of pieces of grant information; the processor generates the first control information for each piece of grant information according to the grant information, and the transmitting device identification and the receiving device identification corresponding to the grant information. ### Claim 6 (depends on 2) The relay device of claim 2, wherein the transmitting unit transmits the first control information by using a resource block in a data resource pool. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The relay device of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to add the grant information and the transmitting device identification into an information field of the first control information, scramble a check field of the first control information by using the transmitting device identification, and generate the first control information according to the information field and the scrambled check field. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The relay device of claim 7, wherein the processor is further configured to add other control information different from the grant information into an information field of second control information, scramble a check field of the second control information by using a second identification different from the transmitting device identification, and generate the second control information based on the information field of the second control information and the scrambled check field of the second control information; the transmitting unit further configured to transmit the second control information by using a resource block in a Scheduling Assignment resource pool. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The relay device of claim 8, wherein the receiving unit receives a plurality of pieces of grant information, and a transmission device identification and a receiving device identification corresponding to each of the plurality of pieces of grant information; the processor generates the first control information according to the plurality of pieces of grant information, and the transmitting device identification and the receiving device identification corresponding to each of the plurality of pieces of grant information. ### Claim 10 A base station, comprising: a processor configured to determine grant information for inter-device transmission and a transmitting device identification and a receiving device identification corresponding to the grant information, and a transmitting unit configured to transmit to a relay device the grant information and the transmitting device identification and the receiving device identification corresponding to the grant information; wherein the processor is further configured to determine scheduling information, the scheduling information indicating a time when the relay device transmits the grant information and the transmitting device identification and the receiving device identification corresponding to the grant information; and the transmitting unit is further configured to transmit to the relay device the scheduling information, wherein the relay device is different from terminal devices performing the inter-device transmission.
