Abstract
The present document discloses methods and apparatuses for reporting and processing information about a proximity service supporting capability. In the method, a first communication node determines indication information to be reported, herein the indication information is used for indicating information about a proximity service supporting capability of the first communication node, and the first communication node reports the indication information to a second communication node. According to the technical scheme provided by the present document, a base station can more reasonably and effectively allocate service resources to UE.
Claims24
A method for reporting information about a proximity service supporting capability, comprising:
- determining, by a first communication node, indication information to be reported, wherein the indication information is used for indicating information about a proximity service supporting capability of the first communication node;
- and
- reporting, by the first communication node, the indication information to a second communication node.

The method according to claim 98, wherein the second communication node allocating the proximity service resource and/or the cellular network service resource to the first communication node according to the indication information comprises:
- the second communication node determining that the first communication node has the proximity service supporting capability but does not support receiving and transmitting service data simultaneously in a plurality of band ranges according to the indication information;
- and
- the second communication node allocating the proximity service resource and the cellular network service resource to the first communication node through a time-division multiplexing mode;
- or the second communication node allocating a ProSe discovery resource and the cellular network service resource to the first communication node only through the time-division multiplexing mode.
The method according to claim 98, wherein the second communication node allocating the proximity service resource and/or the cellular network service resource to the first communication node according to the indication information comprises:
- the second communication node determining that the first communication node has the proximity service supporting capability and supports simultaneously receiving and transmitting service data in a plurality of band ranges according to the indication information;
- and
- the second communication node allocating the proximity service resource and the cellular network service resource to the first communication node through a time-division multiplexing mode;
- or the second communication node allocating the proximity service resource and the cellular network service resource to the first communication node through a frequency-division multiplexing mode;
- or the second communication node allocating a ProSe discovery resource and the cellular network service resource to the first communication node through the time-division multiplexing mode and allocating a ProSe communication resource and the cellular network service resource to the first communication node through the frequency-division multiplexing mode.
An apparatus for reporting information about a proximity service supporting capability, the apparatus arranged on a first communication node, and the apparatus comprising:
- a determination module, arranged to determine indication information to be reported, wherein the indication information is used for indicating information about a proximity service supporting capability of the first communication node;
- and
- a reporting module, arranged to report the indication information to a second communication node.
(canceled)
An apparatus for processing information about a proximity service supporting capability, the apparatus arranged on a second communication node, and the apparatus comprising:
- a receiving module, arranged to receive indication information reported by a first communication node, wherein the indication information is used for indicating information about a proximity service supporting capability of the first communication node;
- and
- an allocation module, arranged to allocate a proximity service resource and/or a cellular network service resource to the first communication node according to the indication information.
