Abstract

The disclosure is related to a method and used in a user equipment that supports Device to Device transmission in Time Division Duplex system and a user equipment thereof. In one embodiment, UE receives downlink signaling to obtain a first configured frame structure, or determining a first configured frame structure by itself in step 1 , and transmits a first D2D signaling to indicate the first configured frame structure in step 2 ; wherein the first configured frame structure indicates a uplink or downlink direction for all the subframes within one radio frame. The technical solution of the disclosure solves the problem of interference of the downlink signals for the UEs configured with different frame structures in D2D communication in eIMTA scenario.

Claims (30)

1. A method used in a user equipment that supports Device to Device transmission in Time Division Duplex system, comprising:

receiving, by the user equipment, a downlink signaling to obtain a first configured frame structure, or determining, by the user equipment, the first configured frame structure by itself; and

transmitting, by the user equipment, a first D2D signaling to indicate the first configured frame structure;

wherein the first configured frame structure is one of TDD UL/DL frame structure #{0,1,2,3,4,5,6} of a service cell associated with the user equipment, or the first configured frame structure is configured as uplink frame structure.

2. The method in claim 1 , further comprises:

receiving a second D2D signaling to obtain a second configured frame structure.

3. The method in claim 1 , comprises:

receiving D2D signals in a subframe corresponding to an uplink subframe of the first configured frame structure.

4. The method in claim 2 , comprises:

selecting a suitable subframe out of the subframes corresponding to the UL subframe of the second configured frame structure; and

transmitting D2D signals on the suitable subframe.

5. The method in claim 1 , wherein the first D2D signaling is a physical layer signaling.

6. A method used in UE that supports D2D transmission under TDD system, comprising:

receiving, by the UE, a first D2D signaling to obtain a first configured frame structure;

wherein the first configured frame structure is one of TDD UL/DL frame structure #{0,1,2,3,4,5,6} of a service cell associated with a transmitter of the first D2D signaling, or the first configured frame structure is configured as uplink frame structure, and the first configured frame structure is determined by the transmitter of the first D2D signaling.

7. The method in claim 6 , comprises:

selecting a suitable subframe out of the subframes corresponding to the UL subframe of the first configured frame structure; and

transmitting D2D signals on the suitable subframe.

8. The method in claim 6 , wherein the first D2D signaling is a physical layer signaling.

9. A user equipment, comprising:

a first module for receiving a downlink signaling to obtain a first configured frame structure, or determining a first configured frame structure by itself; and

a second module for transmitting a first D2D signaling to indicate the first configured frame structure;

wherein the first configured frame structure is one of TDD UL/DL frame structure #{0,1,2,3,4,5,6} of a service cell associated with the user equipment, or the first configured frame structure is configured as uplink frame structure.

10. The equipment in claim 9 , comprises:

a third module for receiving a second D2D signaling to obtain a second configured frame structure.

11. The equipment in claim 9 , comprises:

a fourth module for receiving D2D signals in a subframe corresponding to the UL subframe of the first configured frame structure.

12. The equipment in claim 10 , comprises:

a fifth module for selecting a suitable subframe out of the subframes corresponding to the UL subframe of the second configured frame structure; and

a sixth module for transmitting D2D signals on the suitable subframe.
