Abstract
Embodiments relate to a communication method, user equipment, and a network device. A discovery message sent by second user equipment indicates cell information of the user equipment, so that first user equipment that receives the discovery message sends a communication request to a network device according to the discovery message. The communication request indicates the cell information of the second user equipment. The network device sends a paging message to the second user equipment according to a cell message of the second user equipment, which saves resources in a paging process of direct communication.
Claims19
A user equipment, comprising:
- a receiver, configured to receive a discovery message sent by a second user equipment, wherein the discovery message indicates cell information of the second user equipment;
- a processor coupled to the receiver and configured to acquire the cell information of the second user equipment;
- and
- a transmitter coupled to the processor and configured to send a communication request to a network device according to the discovery message, wherein the communication request is used to request to communicate with the second user equipment, and the communication request indicates the cell information of the second user equipment, so that the network device sends a paging message to the second user equipment according to the communication request and the cell information of the second user equipment.
A user equipment, comprising:
- a processor, configured to generate a discovery message;
- and
- a transmitter coupled to the processor and configured to send the discovery message, wherein the discovery message indicates cell information of the user equipment, so that a first user equipment that receives the discovery message sends a communication request to a network device according to the discovery message, wherein the communication request is used to request to communicate with the user equipment, and the communication request indicates the cell information of the user equipment, so that the network device sends a paging message to the user equipment according to the communication request and the cell information of the user equipment.
