Method and apparatus for indicating D2D related information in wireless communication system
A method and apparatus for indicating device-to-device (D2D) related information in a wireless communication system is provided. A user equipment (UE) indicates at least one of a service type of a D2D operation, quality of service (QoS) characteristics of the D2D operation or a D2D configuration to a network.
1. A method for indicating, by a user equipment (UE), device-to-device (D2D) related information in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
performing a D2D operation in a radio resource control (RRC) idle mode; and
upon entering the RRC connected mode, transmitting, by the UE, the D2D related information of the D2D operation which is performed in the RRC idle mode, wherein the D2D related information includes quality of service (QoS) characteristics of the D2D operation and a D2D configuration of the D2D operation, to a network,
wherein the QOS characteristics of the D2D operation include at least one of delay and bit rate,
wherein the D2D configuration of the D2D operation includes a D2D mode and a D2D scheduling configuration, and
wherein the D2D scheduling configuration comprises an interval for the D2D operation, a scheduling period and a timing of scheduling assignment.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the QoS characteristics of the D2D operation or the D2D configuration is indicated via a media access control (MAC) control element (CE), radio link control (RLC) control information, packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) control information, a radio resource control (RRC) message, a non-access stratum (NAS) message, or an application message.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein stopping the D2D operation is indicated via a MAC CE, RLC control information, PDCP control information, a RRC message, a NAS message, or an application message.
4. The method of claim 1 further comprising:
indicating a configuration of D2D channels to the network.
5. The method of claim 1 further comprising:
indicating whether the UE performs a D2D operation with another UE to the network.
6. The method of claim 1 further comprising:
transmitting a service request message indicating the D2D operation to a mobility management entity (MME).
7. The method of claim 1 further comprising:
requesting D2D resources for the D2D operation from the network.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE performs the D2D operation in a D2D mode 2, which is related to UE autonomous resource selection, and wherein D2D mode 1 is related to scheduled resource allocation.
9. The method of claim 1 further comprising:
receiving, from the network, a new D2D configuration, which is determined based on the D2D related information.
10. A user equipment (UE) comprising:
a memory;
a transceiver; and
a processor, coupled to the memory and the transceiver, that:
performs a D2D operation in a radio resource control (RRC) idle mode;
enters an RRC connected mode;
upon entering the RRC connected mode, controls the transceiver to transmit the D2D related information of the D2D operation which is performed in the RRC idle mode, wherein the D2D related information includes quality of service (QoS) characteristics of the D2D operation and a D2D configuration to a network,
wherein the QOS characteristics of the D2D operation include at least one of delay and bit rate,
wherein the D2D configuration of the D2D operation includes a D2D mode and a D2D scheduling configuration, and
wherein the D2D scheduling configuration comprises an interval for the D2D operation, a scheduling period and a timing of scheduling assignment.
