Abstract

Provide is a method and apparatus for processing an initialization for a D2D communication between user equipments (UEs). The method includes: determining D2D subframes available for a D2D communication, the D2D subframes including a first D2D subframe and a second D2D subframe, each of the first D2D subframe and the second D2D subframe including a D2D slot corresponding to D2D slot number 0; and at a start of the D2D slot of the first D2D subframe and at a start of the D2D slot of the second D2D subframe, processing an initialization associated with a pseudo-random sequence of a D2D communication. The first D2D subframe and the second D2D subframe each include a D2D slot corresponding to D2D slot number 1. At least one of the first D2D subframe and the second D2D subframe corresponds to a non-zero subframe number of a radio frame.

Claims (51)

1. A method of performing a device-to-device (D2D) communication between user equipments (UEs), the method comprising:

discovering between the UEs with a discovery signal transmitted in Physical Sidelink Discovery Channel (PSDCH);

synchronizing between the UEs with a synchronization signal including a primary synchronizing signal and a secondary synchronizing signal;

determining D2D frames available for a D2D communication from an available D2D resource pool;

initializing a pseudo-random sequence for the D2D communication with an initialization value associated with at least one of a group hopping for a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) or a frequency hopping on a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) at a reference D2D slot in each of the D2D frames, wherein a number of the reference D2D slot is 0,

wherein one or more of slots in the D2D frames have different number with slots in system frames (SFs),

wherein the primary synchronizing signal is transmitted in two Single Carrier-FDMA (SC-FDMA) symbols and the secondary synchronizing signal is transmitted in another two SC-FDMA symbols,

wherein the two SC-FDMA symbols are transmitted in a same D2D subframe and the another two SC-FDMA symbols are transmitted in a same D2D subframe,

wherein each of the D2D frames consists of 10 D2D subframes, and

wherein each of the D2D subframes consists of two D2D slots; and

at a start of each of the D2D subframes, initializing an initialization value associated with a scrambling of a codeword associated with a transmission of a PSSCH.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the initializing comprises:

initializing a pseudo random sequence generation associated with the frequency hopping with the frequency hopping initialization value; and

initializing a pseudo random sequence generation associated with the group hopping with the group hopping initialization value.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

at the start of each of the D2D subframes, initializing a scrambling sequence generation with Cinit,

where C init =(SA ID)·2 14 ±n sf _ D2D ·2 9 +510, SA ID corresponds to an identity associated with a scheduling assignment, n sf _ D2D corresponds to a number of D2D subframe.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the group hopping initialization value corresponds to

c

init

=

SAID

30

,

where SA ID corresponds to an identity associated with a scheduling assignment.

5. A user equipment (UE) to perform a device-to-device (D2D) communication with another UE, the UE comprising:

a processor configured to:

discover the another UE with a discovery signal transmitted in Physical Sidelink Discovery Channel (PSDCH);

synchronize with the another UE with a synchronization signal including a primary synchronizing signal and a secondary synchronizing signal;

determine D2D frames available for a D2D communication from an available D2D resource pool;

initialize a pseudo-random sequence for the D2D communication with an initialization value associated with at least one of a group hopping for a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) or a frequency hopping on a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) at a reference D2D slot in each of the D2D frames, wherein a number of the reference D2D slot is 0; and

initialize an initialization value associated with a scrambling of a codeword associated with a transmission of a PSSCH at a start of each of D2D subframes; and

a radio frequency signal transmitter to transceive a D2D signal associated with the pseudo-random sequence,

wherein the D2D frames are frames in which a PSSCH is transmitted or received,

wherein one or more of slots in the D2D frames have different number with slots in system frames (SFs),

wherein the primary synchronizing signal is transmitted in two Single Carrier-FDMA (SC-FDMA) symbols and the secondary synchronizing signal is transmitted in another two SC-FDMA symbols,

wherein the two SC-FDMA symbols are transmitted in a same D2D subframe and the another two SC-FDMA symbols are transmitted in a same D2D subframe,

wherein each of the D2D frames consists of 10 D2D subframes, and

wherein each of the D2D subframes consists of two D2D slots.

6. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the group hopping initialization value corresponds to

c

init

=

SAID

30

,

where SA ID corresponds to an identity associated with a scheduling assignment.
