Abstract
A method and apparatus are disclosed from the perspective of a User Equipment (UE). In one embodiment, the method includes the UE performing a first device-to-device (D2D) transmission based on a periodic resource. The method further includes the UE performs a second D2D transmission based on the periodic resource in response to no data available for the second D2D transmission, wherein the second D2D transmission indicates release of the periodic resource. The method also includes the UE stops using the periodic resource to perform a third D2D transmission.
Claims20
A method for a User Equipment (UE), comprising:
- performing a first device-to-device (D2D) transmission based on a periodic resource;
- performing a second D2D transmission based on the periodic resource in response to no data available for the second D2D transmission, wherein the second D2D transmission indicates release of the periodic resource;
- and
- stopping using the periodic resource to perform a third D2D transmission.
A method for a UE (User Equipment), comprising:
- performing a first device-to-device (D2D) transmission based on a periodic resource;
- receiving a signal from a base station for releasing the periodic resource;
- performing a second D2D transmission based on the periodic resource in response to reception of the signal, wherein the second D2D transmission indicates release of the periodic resource;
- and
- stopping using the periodic resource to perform a third D2D transmission.
A User Equipment (UE), comprising:
- a control circuit;
- a processor installed in the control circuit;
- and
- a memory installed in the control circuit and operatively coupled to the processor;
- wherein the processor is configured to execute a program code stored in the memory to:
- perform a first device-to-device (D2D) transmission based on a periodic resource;
- perform a second D2D transmission based on the periodic resource in response to no data available for the second D2D transmission, wherein the second D2D transmission indicates release of the periodic resource;
- and
- stop using the periodic resource to perform a third D2D transmission.
