Abstract

A communication control method includes receiving, by a relay user equipment, data transmitted from a remote user equipment on a sidelink, transmitting, from the relay user equipment to a base station and on an uplink, the data received from the remote user equipment, and transmitting, from the relay user equipment to the remote user equipment, restriction information restricting an amount of data to be transmitted by the remote user equipment.

Claims (22)

1 . A communication control method comprising:

receiving, by a relay user equipment, data transmitted from a remote user equipment on a sidelink;

transmitting, from the relay user equipment to a base station and on an uplink, the data received from the remote user equipment;

transmitting first desire information from one user equipment out of the remote user equipment and the relay user equipment to the other user equipment out of the remote user equipment and the relay user equipment,

wherein the first desire information is information indicating a desired amount of data transmission to be transmitted from the remote user equipment on the sidelink; and

transmitting second desire information from the other user equipment to the one user equipment in a case in which the desired amount of transmission indicated by the first desire information is not accepted by the other user equipment,

wherein the second desire information is information indicating a desired amount of data transmission to be transmitted from the remote user equipment on the sidelink.

2 . The communication control method according to claim 1 , further comprising

storing, by the relay user equipment and in a buffer, data that has not been transmitted to the base station, the data having been received from the remote user equipment,

wherein the transmitting the first desire information comprises transmitting, from the relay user equipment to the remote user equipment, the first desire information based on a state of the buffer.

3 . The communication control method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first desire information comprises a restriction value for data to be transmitted from the remote user equipment on the sidelink or information on an adjustment of a sidelink resource pool configured by the base station, and

the restriction value comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of a maximum throughput, a maximum transport block size, a maximum number of resource blocks, and a relative value indicating an amount of reduction in an amount of data transmission.

4 . The communication control method according to claim 3 ,

wherein the first desire information comprises the restriction value per bearer or per IP flow.

5 . A relay user equipment comprising:

a receiver configured to receive data transmitted from a remote user equipment on a sidelink, and

a transmitter configured to transmit to a base station on an uplink, the data received from the remote user equipment, wherein

the receiver is configured to receive first desire information from the remote user equipment,

the first desire information indicates a desired amount of data transmission to be transmitted from the remote user equipment on the sidelink,

the transmitter is configured to transmit second desire information to the remote user equipment in a case where the first desire information is received from the remote user equipment and the desired amount of transmission indicated by the first desire information is not accepted by the relay user equipment, and

the second desire information indicates a desired amount of data transmission to be transmitted from the remote user equipment on the sidelink.
