Abstract

A user terminal according to the present embodiment comprises: a controller configured to perform control of transmitting at least one or more group identifiers among a plurality of group identifiers comprising of an identifier associated with each of a plurality of D2D groups in D2D communication being direct inter-terminal communication to a base station as an identifier of a destination of data in the D2D communication.

Claims (29)

1. A user terminal, comprising:

a controller;

a receiver; and

a transmitter, wherein

the controller is configured to include a first identifier and a second identifier in a message,

the transmitter is configured to transmit the message to a base station,

the first identifier indicates a first group to which the user terminal desires transmitting data by direct Device to Device (D2D) communication,

the second identifier indicates a second group to which the user terminal belongs,

the receiver is configured to receive D2D resource information from the base station, the D2D resource information indicating a time resource used for transmitting the data to the first group, and

the time resource is different from another time resource that is allocated to another user terminal desiring to transmit data to the second group by the direct D2D communication.

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

include a first identifier and a second identifier in a message;

transmit the message to a base station, wherein

the first identifier indicates a first group to which the user terminal desires transmitting data by direct Device to Device (D2D) communication,

the second identifier indicates a second group to which the user terminal belongs,

the processor is further configured to receive D2D resource information from the base station, the D2D resource information indicating a time resource used for transmitting the data to the first group, and

the time resource is different from another time resource that is allocated to another user terminal desiring to transmit data to the second group by the direct D2D communication.

3. A base station, comprising:

a controller including a processor; and

a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein

the controller is configured to:

receive, from a user terminal, a first message including a first identifier and a second identifier;

assign radio resources for a direct Device-to-Device (D2D) communication, on a basis of the first identifier and the second identifier,

the first identifier indicates a first group to which the user terminal desires transmitting data by the direct D2D communication,

the second identifier indicates a second group to which the user terminal belongs,

the controller is further configured to transmit D2D resource information to the user terminal, the D2D resource information indicating a time resource used for transmitting the data to the first group, and

the time resource is different from another time resource that is allocated to another user terminal desiring to transmit data to the second group by the direct D2D communication.

4. The base station according to claim 3 , wherein

the controller is further configured to receive, from the another user terminal, a second message including the second identifier indicating the second group to which the another user terminal desires transmitting data by the direct D2D communication.
