Abstract

An electronic device including circuitry configured to perform communications with a road side unit (RSU), a base station, and another electronic device mounted to a moving object; receive, from the base station or the RSU, parameters for performing intermittent device-to-device (D2D) communication with the another electronic device, the parameters including information indicating a resource pool used for performing the intermittent D2D communication with the another electronic device; and perform intermittent D2D communication with the another electronic device based on the parameters received from the base station or RSU.

Claims (30)

1. An electronic device comprising:

circuitry configured to

perform communications with a road side unit (RSU), a base station, and another electronic device mounted to a moving object;

receive, from the base station or the RSU, a first parameter indicating a resource pool used for performing the intermittent D2D communication with the another electronic device;

receive a second parameter including information identifying one of a plurality of groups to which the electronic device belongs; and

perform intermittent D2D communication based on the first parameter and the second parameter,

wherein the first parameter includes information identifying a plurality of groups to which the electronic device belongs, each group having different parameters for performing intermittent D2D communication that are commonly applied to electronic devices associated with each group.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein

the first parameter includes information indicating a cycle of the intermittent D2D communication and a start timing of the cycle.

3. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein

the first parameter includes an extension parameter indicating an extension of the cycle.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein

the first parameter includes identification information indicating a group of electronic devices having common intermittent D2D communication parameters to which the electronic device belongs.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein

the circuitry is configured to acquire the first parameter from the RSU.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein each group has different first parameters for performing intermittent D2D communication that are commonly applied to electronic devices associated with each group.

7. A method comprising:

performing communications with a road side unit (RSU), a base station, and another electronic device mounted to a moving object;

receiving, from the base station or the RSU, a first parameter indicating a resource pool used for performing the intermittent D2D communication with the another electronic device;

receiving a second parameter including information identifying a plurality of groups to which the electronic device belongs; and

performing intermittent D2D communication based on the first parameter and the second parameter.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein

the first parameter includes information indicating a cycle of the intermittent D2D communication and a start timing of the cycle.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein

the first parameter includes an extension parameter indicating an extension of the cycle.

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein

the first parameter includes identification information indicating a group of electronic devices having common intermittent D2D communication parameters to which the electronic device belongs.

11. The method of claim 7 , further comprising

acquiring the first parameter from the RSU.

12. The method of claim 7 , wherein each group has different first parameters for performing intermittent D2D communication that are commonly applied to electronic devices associated with each group.
