Abstract

A user apparatus includes a reception unit configured to receive information indicating resources used for downlink or uplink from a base station apparatus and a transmission unit configured to transmit TDD configuration information used for determining an arrangement of resources used for sidelink.

Claims (18)

1. A terminal comprising:

a receiver configured to receive, from a base station, first configuration information related to resources used in a communication between the base station and the terminal or in a device-to-device communication;

a transmitter configured to transmit, to another terminal, second configuration information, included in the first configuration information, related to a resource used in the device-to-device communication; and

a processor configured not to include a slot for a synchronization signal for the device-to-device communication in the resource used in the device-to-device communication, and configured not to include a slot that is not for uplink in the resource used in the device-to-device communication.

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the processor uses a configuration value related to the resource in the device-to-device communication, the configuration value being pre-configured to the terminal.

3. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the second configuration information includes a first pattern with respect to information related to a periodicity, a slot, and a symbol, or the first pattern and a second pattern.

4. A communication system comprising: a base station; and a terminal, wherein

the base station includes

a transmitter of the base station configured to transmit, to the terminal, first configuration information related to resources used in a communication between the base station and the terminal or in a device-to-device communication, and

the terminal includes:

a receiver configured to receive the first configuration information from the base station;

a transmitter of the terminal configured to transmit, to another terminal, second configuration information, included in the first configuration information, related to a resource used in the device-to-device communication; and

a processor configured not to include a slot for a synchronization signal for the device-to-device communication in the resource used in the device-to-device communication, and configured not to include a slot that is not for uplink in the resource used in the device-to-device communication.

5. A communication method of a terminal, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, first configuration information related to resources used in a communication between the base station and the terminal or in a device-to-device communication;

transmitting, to another terminal, second configuration information, included in the first configuration information, related to a resource used in the device-to-device communication;

not including a slot for a synchronization signal for the device-to-device communication in the resource used in the device-to-device communication; and

not including a slot that is not for uplink in the resource used in the device-to-device communication.
