Abstract
Network-assisted device discovery includes initiating the D2D network-assisted device discovery of a receiving UE to enable a target UE and the receiving UE to establish a D2D communication. A discovery feasibility measurement is performed to determine whether a D2D communication between the target UE and the receiving UE is feasible. A discovery setup message is transmitted and a discovery report is received from the target UE.
Claims20
A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication network, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a base station, configuration information associated with synchronization signal transmission;
- and
- transmitting, to another UE, a synchronization signal for a terminal-to-terminal link;
- and
- transmitting, to the other UE, system information for the terminal-to-terminal link,
- wherein the system information for the terminal-to-terminal link includes first information indicating a frame number of a frame in which the synchronization signal for the terminal-to-terminal link is transmitted.
A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication network, the UE comprising:
- a transceiver configured to:
- receive, from a base station, configuration information associated with a synchronization signal transmission,
- transmit, to another UE, a synchronization signal for a terminal-to-terminal link, and
- transmit, to the other UE, system information for the terminal-to-terminal link,
- wherein the system information for the terminal-to-terminal link includes first information indicating a frame number of a frame in which the synchronization signal for the terminal-to-terminal link is transmitted.
A base station in a wireless communication network, the base station comprising:
- a transceiver configured to transmit, to a user equipment (UE), configuration information associated with a synchronization signal transmission,
- wherein the UE is configured to transmit, to another UE, a synchronization signal for a terminal-to-terminal link, and system information for the terminal-to-terminal link,
- wherein the system information for the terminal-to-terminal link includes at least one of first information indicating a frame number of a frame in which the synchronization signal for the terminal-to-terminal link is transmitted.
