Provided are D2D communication methods, a D2D-enabled device and an eNB. A D2D communication method performed by a D2D-enabled device comprises: reporting, through a media access control (MAC) signaling or a radio resource control (RRC) signaling to an eNode B (eNB) that allocates resource for a D2D transmission, a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) or a resource size to be used by the D2D-enabled device in the D2D transmission, wherein the MCS or the resource size is for a D2D data channel, a D2D control channel and/or a D2D discovery channel.
1. A device-to-device (D2D) communication method performed by a D2D-enabled device, comprising:

reporting, through a radio resource control (RRC) signaling to the eNB, a second MCS or a second resource size for a second channel to be used by the D2D-enabled device in the D2D transmission; and
receiving, from the eNB, information about the allocated resource,
wherein each of the first channel and the second channel is a D2D data channel, a D2D control channel or a D2D discovery channel.
2. The D2D communication method according to claim 1 , wherein when reporting the first MCS or the second MCS, a buffer status report (BSR) is also reported from the D2D-enabled device to the eNB.
3. The D2D communication method according to claim 2 , wherein the first MCS is reported in a same MAC control element (CE) with the BSR or in a different MAC CE from the BSR.
4. The D2D communication method according to claim 2 , wherein a triggering of the reporting of the first MCS or the second MCS is the same as a triggering of the reporting of the BSR.
5. The D2D communication method according to claim 1 , wherein when reporting the first resource size or the second resource size, no buffer status report (BSR) is reported from the D2D-enabled device to the eNB.
6. The D2D communication method according to claim 1 , wherein the reporting of the first MCS or the second MCS is triggered by change in channel condition.
7. The D2D communication method according to claim 1 , wherein the first MCS or the first resource size for different application scenarios for the first channel are reported in separate MAC CEs, or in a same MAC CE, wherein the different application scenarios include a public safety scenario and a commercial scenario.
8. A device-to-device (D2D) communication method performed by an eNode B (eNB) that allocates a resource for a D2D transmission to be performed by a D2D-enabled device, comprising:
receiving, from the D2D-enabled device through a media access control (MAC) signaling, a first modulation and coding scheme (MCS) or a first resource size for a first channel to be used by the D2D-enabled device in the D2D transmission;
receiving, from the D2D-enabled device through a radio resource control (RRC) signaling, a second MCS or a second resource size for a second channel to be used by the D2D-enabled device in the D2D transmission; and
transmitting, to the D2D-enabled device, information about the allocated resource,
wherein each of the first channel and the second channel is a D2D data channel, a D2D control channel or a D2D discovery channel.
9. A device-to-device (D2D)-enabled device, comprising:
a transmitter, which, in operation, (i) transmits, through a media access control (MAC) signaling to an eNode B (eNB) that allocates a resource for a D2D transmission, a first modulation and coding scheme (MCS) or a first resource size for a first channel to be used by the D2D-enabled device in the D2D transmission, and (ii) transmits, through a radio resource control (RRC) signaling to the eNB, a second MCS or a second resource size for a second channel to be used by the D2D-enabled device in the D2D transmission; and
a receiver, which, in operation, receives, from the eNB, information about the allocated resource,
wherein each of the first channel and the second channel is a D2D data channel, a D2D control channel or a D2D discovery channel.
10. The D2D-enabled device according to claim 9 , wherein when reporting the first MCS or the second MCS, a buffer status report (BSR) is also reported from the D2D-enabled device to the eNB.
11. The D2D-enabled device according to claim 10 , wherein the first MCS is reported in a same MAC control element (CE) with the BSR or in a different MAC CE from the BSR.
12. The D2D-enabled device according to claim 10 , wherein a triggering of the reporting of the first MCS or the second MCS is the same as a triggering of the reporting of the BSR.
13. The D2D-enabled device according to claim 9 , wherein when reporting the first resource size or the second resource size, no buffer status report (BSR) is reported from the D2D-enabled device to the eNB.
14. The D2D-enabled device according to claim 9 , wherein the reporting of the first MCS or the second MCS is triggered by change in channel condition.
15. An eNode B (eNB) that allocates a resource for a device-to-device (D2D) transmission to be performed by a D2D-enabled device, comprising:
a receiver, which, in operation, (i) receives, from the D2D-enabled device through a media access control (MAC) signaling, a first modulation and coding scheme (MCS) or a first resource size for a first channel to be used by the D2D-enabled device in the D2D transmission, and (ii) receives, from the D2D-enabled device through a radio resource control (RRC) signaling, a second MCS or a second resource size for a second channel to be used by the D2D-enabled device in the D2D transmission; and
