Abstract
A method of configuring timing resource in device to device (D2D) communication for a first user equipment (UE) includes receiving a first signal from a second UE; and reporting to a network node at least one of information about an arriving time related to the first signal and information about prospective resource allocation of the first UE, whereby the network node configures timing resource for D2D communication between the first UE and the second UE.

A method of configuring timing resource in device to device (D2D) communication for a first user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- receiving a first signal from a second UE;
- and
- reporting to a network node at least one of an arriving time information and a prospective resource allocation information, whereby the network node configures timing resource for D2D communication between the first UE and the second UE;
- wherein the arriving time information is an information about an arriving time related to the first signal sent from the second UE, and the prospective resource allocation information is an information about prospective resource allocation of the first UE.
A method of configuring timing resource in device to device (D2D) communication for a network node, the method comprising:
- receiving a report from a first user equipment (UE) comprising at least one of an arriving time information and a prospective resource allocation information, wherein the first signal is a discovery signal sent to the first UE by a second UE;
- performing an estimation on whether a D2D subframe at the first UE overlap a normal uplink subframe according to the report;
- and
- configuring timing resource for D2D communication between the first UE and the second UE according to the estimation;
- wherein the arriving time information is an information about an arriving time related to the first signal sent to the first UE by the second UE, and the prospective resource allocation information is an information about prospective resource allocation of the first UE.
