Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and an apparatus for communication mode switching. The method includes: acquiring state information of a device-to-device link between a first UE and a second UE; implementing a switching between a first communication mode and a second communication mode according to the state information of the device-to-device link between the first UE and the second UE, where the first UE and the second UE perform device-to-device communication under the first communication mode, and the first UE communicates with the second UE via a base station under the second communication mode.
Claims16
A method for communication mode switching, comprising:
- acquiring state information of a device-to-device link between a first user equipment (UE), and a second UE;
- implementing a switching between a first communication mode and a second communication mode according to the state information of the device-to-device link between the first UE and the second UE, wherein the first UE and the second UE perform device-to-device communication under the first communication mode, and the first UE communicates with the second UE via a base station under the second communication mode.
An apparatus for communication mode switching, comprising:
- an acquisition module, configured to acquire state information of a device-to-device link between a first UE and a second UE;
- a switching module, configured to implement a switching between a first communication mode and a second communication mode according to the state information of the device-to-device link between the first UE and the second UE, wherein the first UE and the second UE perform device-to-device communication under the first communication mode, and the first UE communicates with the second UE via a base station under the second communication mode.
