Radio terminal and base station
A radio terminal according to an embodiment includes a controller configured to perform inter-frequency sidelink discovery transmission of transmitting a sidelink discovery signal at a frequency different from a frequency of a serving cell. The controller is further configured to receive, from the serving cell, a message including resource allocation information and frequency information. The resource allocation information is information indicating radio resources to be used for the inter-frequency sidelink discovery transmission. The frequency information is information indicating the different frequency to which the resource allocation information is applied.
1. A radio terminal, comprising:
a transmitter configured to perform inter-frequency sidelink discovery transmission of transmitting a sidelink discovery signal at a frequency different from a frequency of a serving cell;
a receiver configured to receive a system information block including information indicating whether the inter-frequency sidelink discovery transmission is allowed for each frequency; and
a controller configured to determine, based on the system information block, a frequency for which the inter-frequency sidelink discovery transmission is allowed, wherein
based on result of the determination, the transmitter is further configured to transmit, to the serving cell, a message including information that requests allocation of radio resources used by the radio terminal to perform the inter-frequency sidelink discovery transmission.
2. The radio terminal according to claim 1 , wherein
the receiver is further configured to receive, from the serving cell, resource information indicating the radio resources allocated to the radio terminal, and
the transmitter is configured to perform the inter-frequency sidelink discovery transmission based on the resource information.
3. A method performed at a radio terminal configured to perform inter-frequency sidelink discovery transmission of transmitting a sidelink discovery signal at a frequency different from a frequency of a serving cell, the method comprising:
receiving a system information block including information indicating whether the inter-frequency sidelink discovery transmission is allowed for each frequency; and
determining, based on the system information block, a frequency for which the inter-frequency sidelink discovery transmission is allowed; and
transmitting, based on result of the determination, to the serving cell, a message including information that requests allocation of radio resources used by the radio terminal to perform the inter-frequency sidelink discovery transmission.
4. A processor provided in a radio terminal configured to perform inter-frequency sidelink discovery transmission of transmitting a sidelink discovery signal at a frequency different from a frequency of a serving cell, the processor configured to execute processes of:
receiving a system information block including information indicating whether the inter-frequency sidelink discovery transmission is allowed for each frequency; and
determining, based on the system information block, a frequency for which the inter-frequency sidelink discovery transmission is allowed; and
transmitting, based on result of the determination, to the serving cell, a message including information that requests allocation of radio resources used by the radio terminal to perform the inter-frequency sidelink discovery transmission.
