Abstract

A device to device (D2D) communication method based on a partial device control is disclosed. According to the present invention, the D2D communication method and, particularly, to a partial device control method for D2D communication a relates to, and provides a D2D resource allocation and release method, a D2D HARQ process operating method, a link adaptation method comprising D2D link power control and adaptive modulation and coding (AMC), a D2D control information signaling method, a CSI reporting method for D2D communication, and contents of a CSI report. The present invention can enhance the advantages of and compensate for the disadvantages of both methods through the combination of a base station control a base station control type D2D communication method and a device control type D2D communication method.

Claims (21)

1. A device-to-device (D2D) communication method as an operation method of a first user equipment (UE) for measuring and reporting channel state information (CSI) on D2D communication in which the first UE and a second UE participate, the D2D communication method comprising:

at a request of a base station, measuring and reporting first CSI on a whole or a part of an entire cellular band to the base station;

receiving D2D resource allocation information based on the first CSI from the base station;

measuring and reporting second CSI on D2D resources based on the D2D resource allocation information to the second UE;

receiving a D2D grant from the second UE; and

performing D2D data reception through the D2D resources according to a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) included in the D2D grant,

wherein the MCS is determined by the second UE based on the second CSI.

2. The D2D communication method of claim 1 , wherein the first CSI is measured on the basis of a sounding reference signal (SRS) transmitted by the second UE, and reported to the base station periodically or at the request of the base station.

3. The D2D communication method of claim 1 , wherein the second CSI is measured on the basis of a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) or a sounding reference signal (SRS) transmitted by the second UE.

4. A device-to-device (D2D) communication method as an operation method of a first user equipment (UE) for measuring and reporting channel state information (CSI) on D2D communication in which the first UE and a second UE participate, the D2D communication method comprising:

at a request of a base station, measuring and reporting first CSI on a whole or a part of an entire cellular band to the base station;

receiving D2D resource allocation information based on the first CSI from the base station;

measuring and reporting second CSI on D2D resources based on the D2D resource allocation information to the second UE; and

performing data reception through the D2D resources according to a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) determined by the second UE based on the second CSI,

wherein, when the D2D resources based on the D2D resource allocation information are divided into non-consecutive first and second regions, the second CSI includes a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) to be applied to the first region and the second region in common.

5. A device-to-device (D2D) communication method as an operation method of a first user equipment (UE) for measuring and reporting channel state information (CSI) on D2D communication in which the first UE and a second UE participate, the D2D communication method comprising:

at a request of a base station, measuring and reporting first CSI on a whole or a part of an entire cellular band to the base station;

receiving D2D resource allocation information based on the first CSI from the base station;

measuring and reporting second CSI on D2D resources based on the D2D resource allocation information to the second UE; and

performing data reception through the D2D resources according to a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) determined by the second UE based on the second CSI,

wherein, when the D2D resources based on the D2D resource allocation information are divided into non-consecutive first and second regions, the second CSI includes a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) of the first region and a PMI of the second region.
