Abstract

There are provided a wireless communication apparatus, method and system. The apparatus, at a first node, comprises: a transceiver, operative to transmit and/or receive radio signal; a circuitry, operative to measure one or more channel busy ratios for channel resource pools of the radio signal, and perform congestion control on the channel resource pools based on the measured channel busy ratios.

Claims (19)

1. A first communication apparatus, comprising:

circuitry, which, in operation,

operates in a first transmission mode in which a base station schedules resources or a second transmission mode in which the first communication apparatus autonomously schedules resources;

in response to operating in the first transmission mode, measures a first channel busy ratio for a control channel resource pool of the first transmission mode and a second channel busy ratio for a data channel resource pool of the first transmission mode, and in response to operating in the second transmission mode, measures a third channel busy ratio for a control channel resource pool of the second transmission mode and a fourth channel busy ratio for a data channel resource pool of the second transmission mode; and

a transmitter, which, in operation,

in the first transmission mode, reports the first and second channel busy ratios to a base station and transmits a signal to the base station based on base station instruction and a priority of the signal, and in the second transmission mode, transmits the signal by autonomous first communication apparatus scheduling a transmission of the signal based on the third or fourth channel busy ratio.

2. The first communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, the first channel busy ratio relates to a first type of a channel resource pool and the second channel busy ratio relates to a second type of a channel resource pool.

3. The first communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, the transmitter, in operation,

transmits a radio signal to a second communication apparatus by adjusting radio parameters including power and a number of transmissions of a transport block based on one or more channel busy ratios.

4. The first communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, the report of the first and second channel busy ratios is triggered by an event.

5. The first communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, the first and second channel busy ratios are reported periodically.

6. The first communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, each of the first and second channel busy ratios indicates a ratio of a number of resources which exceed a threshold to a total number of resources.

7. The first communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, each of the first and second channel busy ratios is calculated for a plurality of Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs).

8. The first communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry, in operation, measures the first channel busy ratio and the second channel busy ratio separately in different schemes.

9. The first communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the channel busy ratios are measured per a component carrier.

10. A communication method comprising:

operating, by a first communication apparatus, in a first transmission mode in which a base station schedules resources or a second transmission mode in which the first communication apparatus autonomously schedules resources;

in response to operating in the first transmission mode, measuring a first channel busy ratio for a control channel resource pool of the first transmission mode and a second channel busy ratio for a data channel resource pool of the first transmission mode, and in response to operating in the second transmission mode, measuring a third channel busy ratio for a control channel resource pool of the second transmission mode and a fourth channel busy ratio for a data channel resource pool of the second transmission mode; and

in the first transmission mode, reporting the first and second channel busy ratios to a base station and transmitting a signal to the base station based on base station instruction and a priority of the signal, and in the second transmission mode, transmitting the signal by autonomous first communication apparatus scheduling a transmission of the signal based on the third or fourth channel busy ratio.
