Abstract

The present application discloses an information notification method, a user terminal, a first base station, and a second base station. UE receives a notification message that is sent by a first base station by using a managed first cell, where the notification message is used to instruct the UE to acquire system information of a second cell managed by a second base station; and the UE acquires, according to the received notification message, the system information of the second cell managed by the second base station. A D2D resource configuration of the second cell changes but is not read by the UE in time, resulting in a problem that the UE uses an expired D2D resource configuration.

Claims (22)

1. An information notification method at a user terminal or a processor at the user terminal in a device-to-device communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, a notification message from a first cell serving the user terminal, wherein the notification message comprises information indicating a manner to acquire device-to-device resource configuration of a second cell; and

acquiring, according to the notification message, the device-to-device resource configuration of the second cell, wherein the manner to acquire the device-to-device resource configuration of the second cell indicated in the notification message is reading the device-to-device resource configuration of the second cell that is broadcast by the second cell.

2. The method according claim 1 , wherein the notification message further comprises a list of frequencies and indicates a manner to acquire device-to-device resource configurations of cells at the frequencies in the list of frequencies.

3. The method according claim 1 , wherein the notification message further comprises a list of public land mobile networks (PLMNs) and indicates a manner to acquire device-to-device resource configurations of cells on the PLMNs in the list of PLMNs.

4. An information notification method at a base station or a processor at the base station in a device-to-device communication system, the method comprising:

determining, for a user terminal served by a first cell, information indicating a manner to acquire device-to-device resource configuration of a second cell;

sending a notification message to the user terminal, wherein the notification message includes the information indicating the manner to acquire the device-to-device resource configuration of the second cell,

wherein the manner to acquire the device-to-device resource configuration of the second cell indicated in the notification message comprises reading the device-to-device resource configuration of the second cell that is broadcast by the second cell.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the notification message further comprises a list of frequencies and indicates a manner to acquire device-to-device resource configurations of cells at the frequencies in the list of frequencies.

6. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the notification message further comprises a list of public land mobile networks (PLMNs) and indicates a manner to acquire device-to-device resource configurations of cells on the PLMNs in the list of PLMNs.

7. An apparatus in a device-to-device communication system, which is a user terminal or a processor at the user terminal, the apparatus comprising:

a receiving circuit configured to receive a notification message from a first cell serving the user terminal, wherein the notification message comprises information indicating a manner to acquire device-to-device resource configuration of a second cell; and

a processing circuit configured to acquire, according to the notification message, device-to-device resource configuration of the second cell, wherein the manner to acquire the device-to-device resource configuration of the second cell indicated in the notification message is reading the device-to-device resource configuration of the second cell that is broadcast by the second cell.

8. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the notification message further comprises a list of frequencies and indicates a manner to acquire device-to-device resource configurations of cells at the frequencies in the list of frequencies.

9. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the notification message further comprises a list of public land mobile networks (PLMNs) and indicates a manner to acquire device-to-device resource configurations of cells on the PLMNs in the list of PLMNs.

10. An apparatus in a device-to-device communication system, which is a base station or a processor at the base station, the apparatus comprising:

a processing circuit is configured to determine for a user terminal served by a first cell, information indicating a manner to acquire device-to-device resource configuration of a second cell;

a sending circuit is configured to send a notification message to the user terminal, wherein the notification message includes the information indicating the manner to acquire the device-to-device resource configuration of the second cell,

wherein the manner to acquire the device-to-device resource configuration of the second cell indicated in the notification message comprises reading the device-to-device resource configuration of the second cell that is broadcast by the second cell.

11. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the notification message further comprises a list of frequencies and indicates a manner to acquire device-to-device resource configurations of cells at the frequencies in the list of frequencies.

12. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the notification message further comprises a list of public land mobile networks (PLMNs) and indicates a manner to acquire device-to-device resource configurations of cells on the PLMNs in the list of PLMNs.
