Abstract
An apparatus and method for wireless communication. The apparatus includes processing circuitry: configured to receive a relay establishment request from a source communication device; configured to acquire historical energy information and current energy information about a candidate communication device as a relay candidate, and to determine one or more relay communication devices to be used as a relay based on the acquired information; and configured to send information about the relay establishment to the one or more relay communication devices, the source communication device, and a destination communication device.
Claims20
A wireless communication apparatus, comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to:
- determine a condition result indicating whether there is a poor communication link between the wireless communication apparatus and another wireless communication apparatus;
- and
- in response to the condition result indicating that there is a poor communication link:
- collect energy information of one or more candidate relay devices;
- select, based on the collected energy information, a candidate relay device from the one or more candidate relay devices to serve as a relay communication device for supporting communication of the wireless communication apparatus;
- and
- determine an identifier to be transmitted in a device-to-device (D2D) communication process performed by the wireless communication apparatus.
The wireless communication apparatus according to claim wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to determine resource allocation information to be used in the D2D communication process.
The wireless communication apparatus according to claim wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to determine power allocation information to be used in the D2D communication process.
A wireless communication method performed in a wireless communication system, the wireless communication method comprising:
- determining, by processing circuitry of a wireless communication apparatus in the wireless communication system, a condition result indicating whether there is a poor communication link between the wireless communication apparatus and a second wireless communication apparatus;
- and
- in response to the condition result indicating that there is a poor communication link:
- collecting energy information of one or more candidate relay devices;
- selecting, by the processing circuitry based on the collected energy information, a candidate relay device from the one or more candidate relay devices to serve as a relay communication device for supporting communication of the wireless communication apparatus;
- and
- determining, by the processing circuitry, an identifier to be transmitted in a device-to-device (D2D) communication process performed by the wireless communication apparatus.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable instructions that, when executed by processing circuitry of a wireless communication apparatus, cause the processing circuitry to:
- determine a condition result indicating whether there is a poor communication link between the wireless communication apparatus and a second wireless communication apparatus;
- and
- in response to the condition result indicating that there is a poor communication link:
- collect energy information of one or more candidate relay devices;
- select, based on the collected energy information, a candidate relay device from the one or more candidate relay devices to serve as a relay communication device for supporting communication of the wireless communication apparatus;
- and
- determine an identifier to be transmitted in a device-to-device (D2D) communication process performed by the wireless communication apparatus.
