Abstract

A user equipment communicates with a first user equipment or a base station apparatus, the user equipment including a receiving unit configured to receive a synchronization signal or a reference signal used in sidelink transmitted from the first user equipment; a control unit configured to measure a channel state of sidelink, based on the synchronization signal or the reference signal; and a transmitting unit configured to transmit, to the base station apparatus or the first user equipment, information indicating the channel state of sidelink.

Claims (24)

1. A terminal comprising:

a transmitter that transmits a Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH) for Device-to-Device communication to a group including a plurality of terminals; and

a receiver that receives a response related to retransmission control of the PSSCH, from each of the plurality of terminals,

wherein the transmitter transmits, to a base station, information corresponding to the response related to retransmission control of the PSSCH,

wherein before transmission of the PSSCH, the transmitter transmits a Physical Sidelink Control Channel (PSCCH) associated with the transmission of the PSSCH, and

wherein the retransmission control of the PSSCH is scheduled by sidelink control information (SCI).

2. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the transmitter transmits the PSSCH using an identifier indicating the group.

3. A communication method executed by a terminal, the communication method comprising:

transmitting a Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH) for Device-to-Device communication to a group including a plurality of terminals;

receiving, from each of the plurality of terminals, a response related to retransmission control of the PSSCH;

transmitting, to a base station, information corresponding to the response related to retransmission control of the PSSCH; and

before transmission of the PSSCH, transmitting a Physical Sidelink Control Channel (PSCCH) associated with the transmission of the PSSCH,

wherein the retransmission control of the PSSCH is scheduled by sidelink control information (SCI).

4. A wireless communication system comprising:

a plurality of terminals that comprises a first terminal and a plurality of second terminals; and

a base station, wherein

the first terminal:

transmits a Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH) for Device-to-Device communication to a group including the plurality of second terminals;

receives, from each of the plurality of second terminals, a response related to retransmission control of the PSSCH;

transmits, to the base station, information corresponding to the response related to retransmission control of the PSSCH; and

before transmission of the PSSCH, transmits a Physical Sidelink Control Channel (PSCCH) associated with the transmission of the PSSCH,

wherein the retransmission control of the PSSCH is scheduled by sidelink control information (SCI), and

the base station receives, from the first terminal, the information corresponding to the response related to retransmission control of the PSSCH.

5. The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the receiver receives a response related to retransmission control of the PSSCH based on a transmission result of the PSSCH.
