Abstract

The present disclosure provides an electronic apparatus, a central node apparatus and a network side apparatus, a transmission method and a configuration method. The electronic apparatus for user equipment UE side includes: a transmission mode determining device configured for determining, based on service type of uplink transmission data that is to be transmitted to a network side apparatus by the electronic apparatus for UE side, whether to adopt a transmission mode in which the uplink transmission data is transmitted to a central node apparatus such that the uplink transmission data is transmitted to the network side apparatus. The electronic apparatus, the central node apparatus and the network side apparatus, the transmission method and the configuration method according to the present disclosure can implement at least one of saving network resources, reducing signaling overhead, and reducing power loss.

Claims (26)

1. An electronic device at base station side in a wireless communication system, comprising

circuitry, configured to

decide a first user equipment to serve a second user equipment within proximity, via device-to-device communication, by forwarding data of the second user equipment to the base station under a condition that a link quality between the second user equipment and the base station is worse than a threshold,

provide transmission resources for the first and second user equipment to transmit the data, wherein

under a condition device-to-device communication is decided, discovery process is conducted between the first and second user equipment involving discovery signal,

the discovery signal comprises an indication of characteristics of the data to be transmitted, and

the indication of characteristics of the data indicates a transmission reliability requirement of the data.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the characteristics comprise an indication of QCI of the data.

3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the characteristics comprise a tolerance of delay of the data.

4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the characteristics comprise a typical generation interval of the data.

5. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the characteristics comprise a typical size of the data.

6. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the link quality is determined based on a path loss of the link between the second user equipment and the base station.

7. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the discovery signal comprises an identification of the second user equipment.

8. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic device is implemented as the base station.

9. A method for base station side in a wireless communication system, comprising

deciding a first user equipment to serve a second user equipment within proximity, via device-to-device communication, by forwarding data of the second user equipment to the base station under a condition that a link quality between the second user equipment and the base station is worse than a threshold,

providing transmission resources for the first and second user equipment to transmit the data, wherein

under a condition device-to-device communication is decided, discovery process is conducted between the first and second user equipment involving discovery signal,

the discovery signal comprises an indication of characteristics of the data to be transmitted, and

the indication of characteristics of the data indicates a transmission reliability requirement of the data.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the characteristics comprise an indication of QCI of the data.

11. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the characteristics comprise a tolerance of delay of the data.

12. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the characteristics comprise a typical generation interval of the data.

13. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the characteristics comprise a typical size of the data.

14. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the link quality is determined based on a path loss of the link between the second user equipment and the base station.

15. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the discovery signal comprises an identification of the second user equipment.
