Abstract

An information processing method and a communication node are disclosed. The method configured in a first Device-to-Device (D2D) User Equipment (UE) includes: receiving bearer control information sent by a first evolved Node B (eNB); and changing to a second access node according to the bearer control information for communication data transmission, wherein the first eNB is a first access node or the second access node, and the second access node is the first eNB or a D2D relay node. Also disclosed is a computer storage medium.

Claims (75)

1. An information processing method, comprising:

receiving, by a first Device-to-Device User Equipment (D2D UE), bearer control information sent by a first evolved Node B (eNB), wherein the bearer control information comprises bearer handover decision parameter information used to determine whether the first D2D UE is allowed to be changed to a second access node for communication data transmission; and

changing, by the first D2D UE, to the second access node according to the bearer control information for communication data transmission;

wherein the first eNB is a first access node, and the second access node is D2D relay node;

wherein changing, by the first D2D UE, to the second access node according to the bearer control information for communication data transmission comprises:

measuring, by the first D2D UE, signals sent by a serving cell to form a measurement result; and

comparing the measurement result with the bearer handover decision parameter information to determine whether to change to the second access node for communication data transmission.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein

the bearer control information further comprises a bearer change indicator,

the bearer change indicator being used to indicate that the first D2D UE is changed to the second access node for communication data transmission.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein

the bearer handover decision parameter information comprises a Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurement threshold value of the first D2D UE for the serving cell.

4. The method according to claim 1 , the method further comprising:

before changing, by the first D2D UE, to the second access node according to the bearer control information for communication data transmission,

sending bearer handover decision auxiliary information to the first eNB.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein

the bearer handover decision auxiliary information comprises at least one of the following:

UE to Network (UE to NW) relay indication information, a measurement report, or location information;

the UE to NW relay indication information is used to indicate that the first D2D UE performs data transmission currently through a UE to NW relay;

the measurement report contains an RRM measurement result of the first D2D UE for the serving cell; and

the location information comprises current geographical location information of the first D2D UE.

6. The method according to claim 5 , the method further comprising:

before the first D2D UE sends the measurement report to the first eNB, receiving measurement reporting configuration information sent by the first eNB;

performing measurement according to the measurement reporting configuration information to form the measurement result; and

when the measurement result satisfies a reporting condition, sending the measurement report to the first eNB.

7. An information processing method, comprising:

forming, by a first evolved Node B (eNB), bearer control information, wherein the bearer control information comprises bearer handover decision parameter information, the bearer handover decision parameter information being used by a first Device-to-Device User Equipment (D2D UE), to measure signals sent by a serving cell to form a measurement result and compare the measurement result with the bearer handover decision parameter information to determine whether to change the first D2D UE to a second access node for communication data transmission; and

sending, by the first eNB, the bearer control information to the first D2D UE,

wherein the first eNB is a first access node, and the second access node is a D2D relay node.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein

the bearer control information further comprises a bearer change indicator,

the bearer change indicator being used to indicate that the first D2D UE is changed to the second access node for communication data transmission.

9. The method according to claim 7 , wherein

the bearer handover decision parameter information comprises a Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurement threshold value of the first D2D UE for the serving cell.

10. The method according to claim 7 , the method further comprising:

receiving bearer handover decision auxiliary information sent by the first D2D UE, wherein forming bearer control information comprises:

forming the bearer control information according to the bearer handover decision auxiliary information.

11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein

the bearer handover decision auxiliary information comprises at least one of the following:

UE to Network (UE to NW) relay indication information, a measurement report, or location information;

the UE to NW relay indication information is used to indicate that the first D2D UE performs data transmission currently through a UE to NW relay;

the measurement report contains an RRM measurement result of the first D2D UE for the serving cell; and

the location information comprises current geographical location information of the first D2D UE.

12. A communication node, the communication node being a first Device-to-Device User Equipment (D2D UE), the first D2D UE comprising:

a processor; and

a memory for storing computer-readable instructions executable for the processor;

wherein when the computer-readable instructions are executed, the processor is configured to:

receive bearer control information sent by a first evolved Node B (eNB),

wherein the bearer control information comprises bearer handover decision parameter information used to determine whether the first D2D UE is allowed to be changed to a second access node for communication data transmission; and

change to the second access node according to the bearer control information for communication data transmission,

wherein the first eNB is a first access node, and the second access node is a D2D relay node;

wherein the processor is further configured to:

measure signals sent by a serving cell to form a measurement result;

and

compare the measurement result with the bearer handover decision parameter information to determine whether to change to the second access node for communication data transmission.

13. The communication node according to claim 12 , wherein

the bearer control information further comprises a bearer change indicator,

the bearer change indicator being used to indicate that the first D2D UE is changed to the second access node for communication data transmission.

14. The communication node according to claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

send bearer handover decision auxiliary information to the first eNB.

15. A communication node, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory for storing computer-readable instructions executable for the processor;

wherein when the computer-readable instructions are executed, the processor is configured to:

form bearer control information, wherein the bearer control information comprises bearer handover decision parameter information, the bearer handover decision parameter information being used by a first Device-to-Device User Equipment (D2D UE) to measure signals sent by a serving cell to form a measurement result and compare the measurement result with the bearer handover decision parameter information to determine whether to change the first D2D UE to a second access node for communication data transmission; and

send the bearer control information to the first D2D UE,

wherein

a first evolved Node B (eNB) is a first access node,

and the second access node is a D2D relay node.

16. The communication node according to claim 15 , wherein

the bearer control information further comprises a bearer change indicator,
