Abstract

A communication control method comprises: transmitting, by a communication apparatus, a Device to Device (D2D) resource notification to a user terminal. The D2D resource notification includes information indicating a predetermined D2D radio resource available in a D2D proximity service and information indicating a condition not allowing for use of the predetermined D2D radio resource.

Claims (32)

1. A communication control method, comprising:

transmitting, by a communication apparatus, a Device to Device (D2D) resource notification to a user terminal, wherein

the D2D resource notification includes first information and second information,

the first information indicates a predetermined D2D radio resource available to directly transmit a Discovery signal for discovering another user terminal,

the predetermined D2D radio resource is a radio resource used for public safety,

the second information indicates a condition not allowing for use of the predetermined D2D radio resource,

the condition is for use by the user terminal to determine whether the predetermined D2D radio resource can be used in order to directly transmit the Discovery signal to the another user terminal,

the communication control method further comprising:

receiving, by the user terminal, the D2D resource notification;

comparing, by the user terminal, a measurement result of reference signal received power of a received reference signal, with a threshold on a basis of the condition; and

determining, by the user terminal, whether the predetermined D2D radio resource can be used, on a basis of a result of the comparison.

2. A user terminal, comprising:

a processor; and

a receiver configured to receive a Device to Device (D2D) resource notification from a communication apparatus, wherein

the D2D resource notification includes first information and second information,

the first information indicates a predetermined D2D radio resource available to directly transmit a Discovery signal for discovering another user terminal,

the predetermined D2D radio resource is a radio resource used for public safety,

the second information indicates a condition not allowing for use of the predetermined D2D radio resource,

the condition is for use by the user terminal to determine whether the predetermined D2D radio resource can be used in order to directly transmit the Discovery signal to the another user terminal; and

the processor configured to:

compare a measurement result of reference signal received power of a received reference signal, with a threshold on a basis of the condition, and

determine whether the predetermined D2D radio resource can be used, on a basis of a result of the comparison.

3. A processor for controlling a user terminal, the processor coupled to a memory and configured to:

receive a Device to Device (D2D) resource notification from a communication apparatus, wherein

the D2D resource notification includes first information and second information,

the first information indicates a predetermined D2D radio resource available to directly transmit a Discovery signal for discovering another user terminal,

the predetermined D2D radio resource is a radio resource used for public safety,

the second information indicates a condition not allowing for use of the predetermined D2D radio resource,

the condition is for use by the user terminal to determine whether the predetermined D2D radio resource can be used in order to directly transmit the Discovery signal to the another user terminal; and

the processor configured to:

compare a measurement result of reference signal received power of a received reference signal, with a threshold on a basis of the condition, and

determine whether the predetermined D2D radio resource can be used, on a basis of a result of the comparison.
