- D2D communications allows mobile users to directly communicate with each other, thereby reducing the load on the radio network resources.
- the D2D communication can occur when closely located devices are enabled to communicate with each other directly instead of using a conventional communications links such as a Wi-Fi or cellular communications system.
- Some types of D2D communications are enhanced by cellular communication systems, thereby requiring the D2D communications service to be within range of a cellular communications system, such as an enhanced node B (eNB).
- eNB enhanced node B
- the eNB is unavailable or inefficient for channel allocation.

- FIG. 12 illustrates a diagram of a UE in accordance with an example.
- a D2D communications system there are several D2D communication system schemes where multiple mobile equipment devices, such as user equipment (UE), can directly communicate with each other and/or communicate with a cellular communications system, such as an eNB or base station.
- UE user equipment
- One D2D communication system scheme is a centralized scheduling scheme that has a central controller, such as an eNB or a base station, receiving transmission requests from all of the UEs in the D2D communications system.
- the cellular communications system can comprise of one or more cellular network nodes and one or more Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11-2012 configured access points.
- the one or more cellular networks may be 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) long term evolution (LTE) Rel. 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 networks and/or IEEE 802.16p, 802.16n, 802.16m-2011, 802.16h-2010, 802.16j-2009, 802.16-2009 based networks.
- 3GPP 3rd generation partnership project
- LTE long term evolution
- the controller can be configured to take all the requests into account and broadcast a D2D communications schedule to all of the UEs.
- One advantage of broadcasting a D2D communications schedule to all of the UEs is that it combines multiple rounds of distributed contentions between D2D devices into one round and reduces the contention overhead.
- FIG. 1 illustrates one embodiment of centralized scheduling scheme that uses a centralized controller 110 .
- the centralized controller may be located at, or embedded in a portion of a cellular communication system, such as an eNB or a base station.
- the centralized controller 110 in the centralized scheduling scheme can comprise of a transceiver 120 and a computer processor 130 .
- FIG. 1 also illustrates that the UE 140 can comprise a transceiver 150 and a computer processor 160 .
- D2D communication systems may provide mobile device users with better quality of service (QoS), new applications, and increased mobility support.
- QoS quality of service
- UEs in a D2D system can synchronize their D2D communications.
- the UEs can be configured to synchronize within the D2D network using a radio frame structure, transmitted on a physical (PHY) layer in a downlink or uplink transmission between an eNB and a UE.
- the D2D communications may occur on a licensed band for communications.
- a 3GPP LTE frame structure is used for the synchronization.
- the one or more cellular networks may a 3GPP LTE Rel. 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 network and/or a IEEE 802.16p, 802.16n, 802.16m-2011, 802.16h-2010, 802.16j-2009, 802.16-2009 network.
- FIG. 2 illustrates a 3GPP LTE downlink radio frame structure.
- an uplink radio frame structure could similarly be used.
- a radio frame 200 of a signal used to transmit the data can be configured to have a duration, Tf, of 10 milliseconds (ms).
- Tf duration
- Each radio frame can be segmented or divided into ten subframes 210 i that are each 1 ms long.
- Each subframe can be further subdivided into two slots 220 a and 220 b , each with a duration, Tslot, of 0.5 ms.
- the first slot (# 0 ) 220 a can include a legacy physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) 260 and/or a PDSCH 266
- the second slot (# 1 ) 220 b can include data transmitted using the PDSCH.
- PDCH physical downlink control channel
- Each slot for a component carrier (CC) used by the node and the wireless device can include multiple RBs 230 a , 230 b , 230 i , 230 m , and 230 n based on the CC frequency bandwidth.
- the CC can have a carrier frequency having a bandwidth and center frequency.
- Each subframe of the CC can include downlink control information (DCI) found in the legacy PDCCH.
- the legacy PDCCH in the control region can include one to three columns of the first OFDM symbols in each subframe or physical RB (PRB), when a legacy PDCCH is used.
- the remaining 11 to 13 OFDM symbols (or 14 OFDM symbols, when legacy PDCCH is not used) in the subframe may be allocated to the PDSCH for data (for short or normal cyclic prefix).
- Each RB (physical RB or PRB) 230 i can include 12-15 kHz subcarriers 236 (on the frequency axis) and 6 or 7 orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols 232 (on the time axis) per slot.
- the RB can use seven OFDM symbols if a short or normal cyclic prefix is employed.
- the RB can use six OFDM symbols if an extended cyclic prefix is used.
- the RB can be mapped to 84 resource elements (REs) 240 i using short or normal cyclic prefixing, or the RB can be mapped to 72 REs (not shown) using extended cyclic prefixing.
- the RE can be a unit of one OFDM symbol 242 by one subcarrier (i.e., 15 kHz) 246 .
- Each RE can transmit two bits 250 a and 250 b of information in the case of quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) modulation.
- QPSK quadrature phase-shift keying
- Other types of modulation may be used, such as 16 quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) or 64 QAM to transmit a greater number of bits in each RE, or bi-phase shift keying (BPS K) modulation to transmit a lesser number of bits (a single bit) in each RE.
- the RB can be configured for a downlink transmission from the eNB to the UE, or the RB can be configured for an uplink transmission from the UE to the eNB.
- each UE While communicating each other, each UE can switch between transmission and reception modes for sending and receiving messages, respectively.
- D2D communications can be performed during the uplink band communications period of a cellular network.
- the sequential switching between the transmission and reception modes may enable UEs to perform D2D communications during the uplink band communications period of a cellular network.
- the eNB transmits with a relatively high power relative to the signals transmitted by UEs. This high power signal can cause significant interference to a UE that is transmitting with a lower power signal.
- only other UEs transmit with the lower power signals. Transmitting during the uplink communication band can enable D2D communications to occur with significantly lower amounts of interference.
- Another D2D communication system scheme using an IEEE 802.11 wireless fidelity (WiFi) system is a distributed channel access scheme, such as a carrier access (CA) scheme or carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) scheme.
- a distributed CA scheme can be robust and flexible for deployment, but the scheduling efficiency may not be as high as the centralized scheduling efficiency used by cellular system.
- each pair of UEs after paying some contention overhead, each pair of UEs only schedules their own transmission even though the UE pair may also overhear other UEs' transmission requests and can coordinate with the other UE pairs.
- transmissions between the D2D devices are scheduled burst to burst.
- a D2D receiver For burst to burst scheduling, a D2D receiver is typically on all of the time in an awake mode because it does not know when packets will arrive. Having a D2D device continually in an awake mode incurs high power consumption. In addition, because the WiFi transmission power does not adapt to the link distance, WiFi can waste transmission power and cause an increased amount of interference. In the distributed CA scheme, after forfeiting some contention overhead, each pair of UEs can schedule their own transmission, even though the UE pair may also overhear other UEs' transmission requests and can help the others.
- FIG. 3 illustrates one embodiment of a D2D communications system using an eNB with several independent, localized D2D connections.
- D2D cluster # 1 310 depicts direct communication among UEs, such as two UEs.
- UE 340 and UE 350 are in direct communication with each other.
- D2D cluster # 1 310 is also in communication with a cellular communications system, such as eNB 330 .
- D2D cluster # 1 310 may be assisted by the eNB 330 in communicating data or information in a cellular network. In another embodiment, D2D cluster # 1 310 may be assisted by the eNB 330 in synchronizing or setting up the direct D2D communications between UE 340 and UE 350 .
- D2D cluster # 2 320 depicts a plurality of D2D devices such as UEs 360 , 370 , and 380 that are in D2D communications with each other.
- UE 360 and UE 380 are in direct communication with UE 370 .
- UE 360 and UE 380 may be in indirect D2D communication with each other via an intermediary D2D communications device such as UE 370 .
- D2D cluster # 2 320 can also be in communication with eNB 330 .
- D2D cluster # 2 320 may be assisted by the eNB 330 in communicating data or information in a cellular network.
- D2D cluster # 2 320 may be assisted by the eNB 330 in synchronizing or assisting in setting up the direct or indirect D2D communications between UE 360 , UE 370 , and/or UE 380 .
- UEs such as UE 390 may be in direct communication with the eNB 330 and/or in indirect D2D communications with other D2D devices in the cellular network.
- one UE 390 may be in indirect D2D communication with another UE 395 via the eNB 330 .
- UE 390 may be in indirect D2D communication with D2D cluster # 1 310 and/or D2D cluster # 2 320 .
- D2D cluster # 1 310 may be in indirect D2D communications with D2D cluster # 2 320 .
- the network assisted D2D communications between the D2D devices in FIG. 3 may cause mutual interfering between the D2D device communications.
- a network assisted based D2D communications system may not work for public safety environments and the D2D UEs may have to communicate with no cellular network or WiFi network assistance.
- an eNB or base station can be aware of the location of the D2D UEs so that an area or location can be allocated for D2D communications.
- coordinated D2D scheduling can be used for the channel access in a distributed D2D network.
- coordinated D2D scheduling for the channel access in a distributed D2D network allows a D2D UE to be selected as the D2D resource allocation scheduler for D2D communications.
- One advantage of coordinated D2D scheduling can be the ability to use the received information for each D2D device and the ability to send multiple decisions at one time. Since involved UEs also overhear others' transmission requests in the distributed scheduling during contention period, the received information can be exploited to improve the scheduling efficiency.
- coordinated D2D scheduling can be advantageous because the D2D devices in a coordinated D2D scheduling system can use a preamble for time and/or frequency synchronization, e.g. the D2D devices do not rely on a cellular system or WiFi system for time and/or frequency synchronization.
- the advantages of coordinated D2D scheduling can also include: a reduction in collision probability, because a D2D device is selected as a scheduler for a period; no additional complexity is introduced to the selected scheduler, e.g. the scheduler can be a normal D2D device with low complexity; minimizing the power consumption for transmission and idle modes; and flexible channel allocation, e.g. variable size of resource allocation and support of spatial reuse.
- FIG. 4 shows a group of paired UE devices in a D2D communications system 400 .
- Tx transmit
- Rx receive
- FIG. 4 illustrates three Tx UE and Rx UE pairs: tx 1 410 is paired with rx 1 420 ; tx 2 430 is paired with rx 2 440 ; and tx 3 450 is paired with rx 3 460 .
- each Tx UE and Rx UE pair there is a link between each Tx UE and Rx UE pair.
- each link with one Tx UE and one Rx UE can be assigned a distinct connection ID (CID).
- a Tx UE may communicate with a plurality of Rx UEs, where each Rx UE is assigned a distinct CID for the link between the Rx UE and the Tx UE.
- contention scheduling occurs for D2D communications for a Tx UE and an Rx UE pair.
- FIG. 5 illustrates one embodiment for contention scheduling.
- resources are allocated for D2D data communication, wherein the allocated resources may include data transmission slots or traffic slots 510 .
- the allocated resources may include data transmission slots or traffic slots 510 .
- For each traffic slot 510 there is a contention scheduling header 520 made up of a transmit block 530 (Tx-Block) and a receive block 540 (Rx-Block), such as a tone matrix 550 .
- the contention scheduling header 520 enables UEs to contend for a data segment.
- Each Tx UE and Rx UE pair can be assigned a unique connection ID (CID) and allocated a tone-pair, one in Tx-block 530 and one in Rx-block 540 .
- CID connection ID
- the Tx UE can send a signal on the tone of the Tx-block as a request, and if the Rx UE wants to acknowledge it, the Rx UE can send a signal on the tone of the Rx-block.
- the Tx UE receives an acknowledgement signal, the Tx UE can send data in a data segment 560 .
- tone-CID mapping can be randomized slot-by-slot to guarantee the fairness among Tx UEs.
- the tone priority and/or resource allocation can be determined for a period of time, T coordination , by a coordinating device (coordinator).
- the coordinator can be a Tx UE or an Rx UE.
- T coordination can be 1-2 seconds in duration.
- the coordinator can be selected using defined criteria. For example, each active D2D UE can be assigned as a coordinator by using a defined coordinator order or list based on the device IDs of each D2D devices. For instance, the D2D UE with the highest or lowest device ID can be assigned as the first coordinator and then proceeding down the list to assign subsequent coordinators.
- a predecessor coordinator can select a successor coordinator randomly from the list of active D2D devices.
- a previous coordinator can select another D2D UE as the next coordinator in a D2D network.
- the initial or first coordinator is the Rx UE with the highest priority of the Rx UEs within a contention.
- an eNB or base station of a cellular network can assign the first coordinator.
- the previous coordinator can broadcast, unicast, or transmit the coordinator selection to the UEs in the D2D network.
- the next or selected coordinator can broadcast, unicast, or transmit the coordinator selection to the UEs in the D2D network after the coordinator has been selected.
- a UE such as an Rx UE or a Tx UE, with the highest priority of the UEs within a contention can be assigned as coordinator.
- the priority may be determined using the CID assigned to each UE. For example, the Rx UE with the lowest number or first assigned CID may have the highest priority.
- each UE priority is randomly mapped to each UE's CID.
- the coordinator is determined based on the priority mapped to the UE's CID, there is no coordinator assignment received by the UE, as the UE can independently determine whether it is the coordinator based on its priority.
- FIG. 6 depicts one embodiment of D2D scheduling using a coordinator.
- an Rx UE detects the CID codes 610 of other Rx UEs in a first symbol to find the Rx UE's CID code 610 .
- the Rx UE can also receive the information about other Rx UE bandwidth requests (BW Reqs), such as BW Reqs 630 , 640 , and 650 .
- BW Reqs Rx UE bandwidth requests
- the Rx UE has the highest priority and is assigned as the coordinator. As the coordinator, the Rx UE may allocate resources for other UEs and/or for its own communications.
- One advantage of the coordinator being selected by a previous coordinator over selecting the coordinator based on priority is a decrease in power consumption.
- the power consumption can be decreased since, for coordinator selection based on CID priority, each UE decodes the CID codes before knowing if the UE is the coordinator, which consumes additional power.
- each Tx UE that has a data or control message to send can transmit a BW Req message to the coordinator.
- the BW Reqs, such as BW Reqs 630 , 640 , and 650 , of each Tx UE can include parameters or information such as one or more CIDs and/or a requested resource size.
- spatial reuse or multicasting can be used and multiple CIDs can be scheduled for the same resource block.
- each CID can be mapped to a unique priority level so that CIDs can be sorted based on the priority order.
- the BW Req for a Tx UE with a link that has a high priority can be responded to before a BW Req for a Tx UE with a link with a lower priority.
- a priority level can be mapped to a CID to enable each UE to have an equal opportunity to communicate data.
- the priority mapping may periodically be randomized so that each Tx UE and Rx UE pair has equal opportunity to access a channel to communicate data.
- a priority level is mapped to a CID based on QoS.
- the coordinator can allocate a communications channel based on the priority level of each bandwidth request.
- the coordinator can transmit or broadcast a bandwidth (BW) grant message 630 to UEs in the D2D network.
- BW bandwidth
- the active UEs in the D2D network can be configured to wake up to receive the BW grant message.
- Each UE can determine whether resources have been allocated for the UE to transmit and/or receive data. In one embodiment, if no resources have been allocated for the UE to transmit and/or receive data then the UE can enter or re-enter a sleep mode.
- a BW grant message can include one or more BW allocation messages, where each BW allocation message is for one or more scheduled CIDs.
- a BW allocation message can include the starting point of the resource allocation and/or the size of resource allocation scheduled for a CID(s).
- multiple CIDs can be scheduled on the same resource allocation.
- a data channel or data windows 692 and 694 can follow the resource allocation that occurs during a contention window.
- at least one Tx UE and Rx UE pair wake up at a specified time to communicate data 680 or 690 .
- Tx UEs can transmit data packets, such as Data 680 and 690 , during an allocated resource period using a defined transmit power for a defined duration, and the other Tx UEs and Rx UEs that are not scheduled for that resource allocation can go into a sleep mode to save power until the resource allocation period for each respective UE arrives.
- UEs with no data to communicate can be configured to only wake up during the contention windows to receive the resource allocation schedule. The UEs can be configured to be in sleep mode the remainder of the time.
- a UE can be configured to only be active or awake to receive a BW grant message if the UE does not have data to communicate or if the UE is not selected as the coordinator.
- One advantage of the UEs that are not selected as coordinators and that do not have data to communicate, so that they only wake up to receive a BW grant message, is that they have a significant power savings as compared to WiFi based D2D communications system with sequential burst-by-burst contentions, where the UE must be awake all the time to receive communications.
- a coordinator may not receive a BW Req due to poor link quality between the coordinator and the Tx UE. If a BW Req is not received by the coordinator or the BW Req is below a quality threshold, no bandwidth is allocated for the respective Tx UE while the coordinator is selected as the current coordinator.
- the Tx UE can determine that the coordinator did not receive the bandwidth request by receiving a signal from the coordinator and measuring the received signal power of the coordinator's signal.
- the Tx UE can enter sleep mode until a new coordinator is selected. The Tx UE may enter sleep mode to save power. In one embodiment, because active D2D UEs alternate as the coordinator, fair or equal transmission opportunity for each UE can still be achieved.
- Tx UEs and/or Rx UEs can use an allocated channel to perform power control and/or link adaptation. For example, a first portion of an allocated resource for a Tx and Rx pair may be used by the Tx UE to send a reference signal 660 and/or an Rx UE to feedback 670 a channel estimation, timing/frequency synchronization, power control, link adaptation, and/or MIMO feedback.
- the D2D link can use the part of the existing power adjustment and/or CQI/RI/PMI feedback mechanism developed for a cellular system.
- spatial reuse may be used for D2D communication.
- an Rx UE with a higher priority CID may detect or determine that there is another Tx UE that has no interference or negligible interference to the RX UE receiving data from the Tx receiver that the Rx UE is actively linked to.
- the Rx UE determines the other Tx UE will not cause any interference or will cause interference below a selected or defined threshold
- the Rx UE can communicate with the other Tx UE using an exchanging control message to inform the other Tx UE that it may use spatial reuse for D2D communications.
- a Tx UE can include an additional CID as a spatial reuse pair in its BW Req message.
- the coordinator can account for the allowable reuse pair(s) that cause interference below a defined threshold in scheduling the transmissions or for D2D Tx UE and Rx UE pair communications scheduling. For example, the coordinator can allocate the same resource block to multiple links that can tolerate the interference from the other D2D UEs.

- Rx 3 UE 710 has been assigned as the coordinator 710 .
- Tx 1 UE 730 , Tx 2 UE 760 , and Tx 3 UE 720 can each send the coordinator 710 a D2D bandwidth allocation request.
- the coordinator 710 can then schedule bandwidth for a link between Rx 1 UE 740 and Tx 1 UE 730 and a link between Rx 2 UE 750 and Tx 2 UE 760 .
- the coordinator 710 can then communicate the bandwidth allocation message to each of the Rx UEs and Tx UEs that have bandwidth allocated for D2D communication.
- the link between Rx 3 UE 720 and Tx 3 UE 710 does not have bandwidth scheduled for data communication.
- no bandwidth may be scheduled for the link between Tx 3 UE 710 and Rx 3 UE 720 because Tx 3 UE 710 may not have any data to communicate with Rx 3 UE 720 .
- no bandwidth may be scheduled for the link between Tx 3 UE 710 and Rx 3 UE 720 because the link between Tx 3 UE 710 and Rx 3 UE 720 may not have a priority high enough for the coordinator 710 to schedule a D2D communication between Tx 3 UE 710 and Rx 3 UE 720 .
- each of the link Tx UE and Rx UE pairs i.e. Tx 1 UE 730 paired with Rx 2 UE 740 and Tx 2 UE 760 paired with Rx 2 750 , can each communicate data during the pair's allocated bandwidth period.

Description
- This application claims the benefit of and hereby incorporates by reference U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/821,635, filed May 9, 2013, with an attorney docket number P56618Z.
- Increased use of mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, with an expanding number of wireless services offered on the devices, such as streaming video, have placed increased data loads and throughput requirements on wireless networks. To handle the increasing amount of wireless services to an increasing numbers of users, various multiple antenna techniques can be employed in wireless network environments to meet the increasing data and throughput demands.
- To handle the increasing amount of wireless services to an increasing numbers of users, efficient use of the available radio network resources has become important. Device to device (D2D) communications allows mobile users to directly communicate with each other, thereby reducing the load on the radio network resources. The D2D communication can occur when closely located devices are enabled to communicate with each other directly instead of using a conventional communications links such as a Wi-Fi or cellular communications system. Some types of D2D communications are enhanced by cellular communication systems, thereby requiring the D2D communications service to be within range of a cellular communications system, such as an enhanced node B (eNB). However, there are situations for D2D communications where the eNB is unavailable or inefficient for channel allocation.

It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of the invention is thereby intended.
- Before the present invention is disclosed and described, it is to be understood that this invention is not limited to the particular structures, process steps, or materials disclosed herein, but is extended to equivalents thereof as would be recognized by those ordinarily skilled in the relevant arts. It should also be understood that terminology employed herein is used for the purpose of describing particular examples only and is not intended to be limiting.

- In a D2D communications system there are several D2D communication system schemes where multiple mobile equipment devices, such as user equipment (UE), can directly communicate with each other and/or communicate with a cellular communications system, such as an eNB or base station.
- One D2D communication system scheme is a centralized scheduling scheme that has a central controller, such as an eNB or a base station, receiving transmission requests from all of the UEs in the D2D communications system. The cellular communications system can comprise of one or more cellular network nodes and one or more Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11-2012 configured access points. In one embodiment, the one or more cellular networks may be 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) long term evolution (LTE) Rel. 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 networks and/or IEEE 802.16p, 802.16n, 802.16m-2011, 802.16h-2010, 802.16j-2009, 802.16-2009 based networks. The controller can be configured to take all the requests into account and broadcast a D2D communications schedule to all of the UEs. One advantage of broadcasting a D2D communications schedule to all of the UEs is that it combines multiple rounds of distributed contentions between D2D devices into one round and reduces the contention overhead.
-
FIG. 1 illustrates one embodiment of centralized scheduling scheme that uses acentralized controller 110. The centralized controller may be located at, or embedded in a portion of a cellular communication system, such as an eNB or a base station. Thecentralized controller 110 in the centralized scheduling scheme can comprise of atransceiver 120 and acomputer processor 130.FIG. 1 also illustrates that the UE 140 can comprise atransceiver 150 and acomputer processor 160. - D2D communication systems may provide mobile device users with better quality of service (QoS), new applications, and increased mobility support. To increase efficiency and reduce interference, UEs in a D2D system can synchronize their D2D communications. In one example, the UEs can be configured to synchronize within the D2D network using a radio frame structure, transmitted on a physical (PHY) layer in a downlink or uplink transmission between an eNB and a UE. In one embodiment, the D2D communications may occur on a licensed band for communications. In one embodiment a 3GPP LTE frame structure is used for the synchronization. In one embodiment, the one or more cellular networks may a 3GPP LTE Rel. 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 network and/or a IEEE 802.16p, 802.16n, 802.16m-2011, 802.16h-2010, 802.16j-2009, 802.16-2009 network.
-
FIG. 2 illustrates a 3GPP LTE downlink radio frame structure. In another embodiment, an uplink radio frame structure could similarly be used. In the example of the downlink radio frame structure, aradio frame 200 of a signal used to transmit the data can be configured to have a duration, Tf, of 10 milliseconds (ms). Each radio frame can be segmented or divided into ten subframes 210 i that are each 1 ms long. Each subframe can be further subdivided into twoslots 220 a and 220 b, each with a duration, Tslot, of 0.5 ms. The first slot (#0) 220 a can include a legacy physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) 260 and/or aPDSCH 266, and the second slot (#1) 220 b can include data transmitted using the PDSCH. - Each slot for a component carrier (CC) used by the node and the wireless device can include
multiple RBs - Each RB (physical RB or PRB) 230 i can include 12-15 kHz subcarriers 236 (on the frequency axis) and 6 or 7 orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols 232 (on the time axis) per slot. The RB can use seven OFDM symbols if a short or normal cyclic prefix is employed. The RB can use six OFDM symbols if an extended cyclic prefix is used. The RB can be mapped to 84 resource elements (REs) 240 i using short or normal cyclic prefixing, or the RB can be mapped to 72 REs (not shown) using extended cyclic prefixing. The RE can be a unit of one
OFDM symbol 242 by one subcarrier (i.e., 15 kHz) 246. - Each RE can transmit two
bits - While communicating each other, each UE can switch between transmission and reception modes for sending and receiving messages, respectively. In one embodiment, D2D communications can be performed during the uplink band communications period of a cellular network. In this embodiment, the sequential switching between the transmission and reception modes may enable UEs to perform D2D communications during the uplink band communications period of a cellular network. During the downlink band communication period, the eNB transmits with a relatively high power relative to the signals transmitted by UEs. This high power signal can cause significant interference to a UE that is transmitting with a lower power signal. However, during the uplink band communication period, only other UEs transmit with the lower power signals. Transmitting during the uplink communication band can enable D2D communications to occur with significantly lower amounts of interference.
- Another D2D communication system scheme using an IEEE 802.11 wireless fidelity (WiFi) system is a distributed channel access scheme, such as a carrier access (CA) scheme or carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) scheme. A distributed CA scheme can be robust and flexible for deployment, but the scheduling efficiency may not be as high as the centralized scheduling efficiency used by cellular system. Additionally for a distributed scheduling scheme, after paying some contention overhead, each pair of UEs only schedules their own transmission even though the UE pair may also overhear other UEs' transmission requests and can coordinate with the other UE pairs. Additionally, for a D2D communication system scheme that uses WiFi, transmissions between the D2D devices are scheduled burst to burst.
- For burst to burst scheduling, a D2D receiver is typically on all of the time in an awake mode because it does not know when packets will arrive. Having a D2D device continually in an awake mode incurs high power consumption. In addition, because the WiFi transmission power does not adapt to the link distance, WiFi can waste transmission power and cause an increased amount of interference. In the distributed CA scheme, after forfeiting some contention overhead, each pair of UEs can schedule their own transmission, even though the UE pair may also overhear other UEs' transmission requests and can help the others.
- There are situations for D2D communications where it is suboptimal to use a centralized scheduling scheme or a distributed channel access scheme for D2D communications, such as if the eNB or WiFi is unavailable or inefficient for channel allocation.
FIG. 3 illustrates one embodiment of a D2D communications system using an eNB with several independent, localized D2D connections. One example of the D2D connections depicted inFIG. 3 isD2D cluster # 1 310.D2D cluster # 1 310 depicts direct communication among UEs, such as two UEs. ForD2D cluster # 1 310,UE 340 andUE 350 are in direct communication with each other.D2D cluster # 1 310 is also in communication with a cellular communications system, such aseNB 330. In one embodiment,D2D cluster # 1 310 may be assisted by theeNB 330 in communicating data or information in a cellular network. In another embodiment,D2D cluster # 1 310 may be assisted by theeNB 330 in synchronizing or setting up the direct D2D communications betweenUE 340 andUE 350. - In another example,
D2D cluster # 2 320 depicts a plurality of D2D devices such asUEs UE 360 andUE 380 are in direct communication withUE 370. In another embodiment,UE 360 andUE 380 may be in indirect D2D communication with each other via an intermediary D2D communications device such asUE 370. In another embodiment,D2D cluster # 2 320 can also be in communication witheNB 330. In one embodiment,D2D cluster # 2 320 may be assisted by theeNB 330 in communicating data or information in a cellular network. In another embodiment,D2D cluster # 2 320 may be assisted by theeNB 330 in synchronizing or assisting in setting up the direct or indirect D2D communications betweenUE 360,UE 370, and/orUE 380. - In another example of a communications environment in
FIG. 3 , UEs, such asUE 390, may be in direct communication with theeNB 330 and/or in indirect D2D communications with other D2D devices in the cellular network. In one example, oneUE 390 may be in indirect D2D communication with another UE 395 via theeNB 330. In another example,UE 390 may be in indirect D2D communication withD2D cluster # 1 310 and/orD2D cluster # 2 320. In another example,D2D cluster # 1 310 may be in indirect D2D communications withD2D cluster # 2 320. - The network assisted D2D communications between the D2D devices in
FIG. 3 may cause mutual interfering between the D2D device communications. In one embodiment, a network assisted based D2D communications system may not work for public safety environments and the D2D UEs may have to communicate with no cellular network or WiFi network assistance. In another embodiment, an eNB or base station can be aware of the location of the D2D UEs so that an area or location can be allocated for D2D communications. - In one embodiment, coordinated D2D scheduling can be used for the channel access in a distributed D2D network. In one embodiment, coordinated D2D scheduling for the channel access in a distributed D2D network allows a D2D UE to be selected as the D2D resource allocation scheduler for D2D communications. One advantage of coordinated D2D scheduling can be the ability to use the received information for each D2D device and the ability to send multiple decisions at one time. Since involved UEs also overhear others' transmission requests in the distributed scheduling during contention period, the received information can be exploited to improve the scheduling efficiency.
- For public safety situations, coordinated D2D scheduling can be advantageous because the D2D devices in a coordinated D2D scheduling system can use a preamble for time and/or frequency synchronization, e.g. the D2D devices do not rely on a cellular system or WiFi system for time and/or frequency synchronization. The advantages of coordinated D2D scheduling can also include: a reduction in collision probability, because a D2D device is selected as a scheduler for a period; no additional complexity is introduced to the selected scheduler, e.g. the scheduler can be a normal D2D device with low complexity; minimizing the power consumption for transmission and idle modes; and flexible channel allocation, e.g. variable size of resource allocation and support of spatial reuse.

FIG. 4 shows a group of paired UE devices in aD2D communications system 400. InFIG. 4 , there are transmit (Tx) UEs, i.e. UEs that transmit a data packet, and receive (Rx) UEs, i.e. UEs that receive a data packet. In one embodiment, there is at least one Tx UE and RX UE pair in aD2D communications system 400.FIG. 4 illustrates three Tx UE and Rx UE pairs:tx1 410 is paired withrx1 420;tx2 430 is paired withrx2 440; andtx3 450 is paired withrx3 460. In one embodiment, there is a link between each Tx UE and Rx UE pair. In one embodiment, each link with one Tx UE and one Rx UE can be assigned a distinct connection ID (CID). In another embodiment, a Tx UE may communicate with a plurality of Rx UEs, where each Rx UE is assigned a distinct CID for the link between the Rx UE and the Tx UE. In one embodiment, contention scheduling occurs for D2D communications for a Tx UE and an Rx UE pair. In one embodiment, there is a defined or selected threshold for the number of D2D UEs and/or D2D UE pairs in aD2D communications system 400. -
FIG. 5 illustrates one embodiment for contention scheduling. In one embodiment, resources are allocated for D2D data communication, wherein the allocated resources may include data transmission slots ortraffic slots 510. For eachtraffic slot 510, there is a contention scheduling header 520 made up of a transmit block 530 (Tx-Block) and a receive block 540 (Rx-Block), such as atone matrix 550. The contention scheduling header 520 enables UEs to contend for a data segment. Each Tx UE and Rx UE pair can be assigned a unique connection ID (CID) and allocated a tone-pair, one in Tx-block 530 and one in Rx-block 540. When the Tx UE has data to send, the Tx UE can send a signal on the tone of the Tx-block as a request, and if the Rx UE wants to acknowledge it, the Rx UE can send a signal on the tone of the Rx-block. When the Tx UE receives an acknowledgement signal, the Tx UE can send data in adata segment 560. - To resolve the contention when multiple Tx UEs want to send data, different priorities can be assigned to each tone, so that the Tx UE with a higher-priority tone will have a higher or increased probability of having a resource allocated for its data transmission. In one embodiment, tone-CID mapping can be randomized slot-by-slot to guarantee the fairness among Tx UEs.
- In one embodiment, for a group of D2D devices, the tone priority and/or resource allocation can be determined for a period of time, Tcoordination, by a coordinating device (coordinator). In one embodiment, the coordinator can be a Tx UE or an Rx UE. In one embodiment, Tcoordination can be 1-2 seconds in duration. In one embodiment, the coordinator can be selected using defined criteria. For example, each active D2D UE can be assigned as a coordinator by using a defined coordinator order or list based on the device IDs of each D2D devices. For instance, the D2D UE with the highest or lowest device ID can be assigned as the first coordinator and then proceeding down the list to assign subsequent coordinators.
- In another embodiment, a predecessor coordinator can select a successor coordinator randomly from the list of active D2D devices. For example, a previous coordinator can select another D2D UE as the next coordinator in a D2D network. In one embodiment, the initial or first coordinator is the Rx UE with the highest priority of the Rx UEs within a contention. In another embodiment, an eNB or base station of a cellular network can assign the first coordinator. In one embodiment, the previous coordinator can broadcast, unicast, or transmit the coordinator selection to the UEs in the D2D network. In another embodiment, the next or selected coordinator can broadcast, unicast, or transmit the coordinator selection to the UEs in the D2D network after the coordinator has been selected.
- In another embodiment, for each contention, a UE, such as an Rx UE or a Tx UE, with the highest priority of the UEs within a contention can be assigned as coordinator. In one embodiment, the priority may be determined using the CID assigned to each UE. For example, the Rx UE with the lowest number or first assigned CID may have the highest priority. In another example, each UE priority is randomly mapped to each UE's CID. In one embodiment, where the coordinator is determined based on the priority mapped to the UE's CID, there is no coordinator assignment received by the UE, as the UE can independently determine whether it is the coordinator based on its priority.
-
FIG. 6 depicts one embodiment of D2D scheduling using a coordinator. In this embodiment, an Rx UE detects theCID codes 610 of other Rx UEs in a first symbol to find the Rx UE'sCID code 610. In one embodiment, where the Rx UE detects theCID codes 610 of the other Rx UEs, the Rx UE can also receive the information about other Rx UE bandwidth requests (BW Reqs), such asBW Reqs - In one embodiment for a contention window, each Tx UE that has a data or control message to send can transmit a BW Req message to the coordinator. The BW Reqs, such as
BW Reqs - In one embodiment, the BW Req for a Tx UE with a link that has a high priority can be responded to before a BW Req for a Tx UE with a link with a lower priority. In one embodiment, a priority level can be mapped to a CID to enable each UE to have an equal opportunity to communicate data. For example, the priority mapping may periodically be randomized so that each Tx UE and Rx UE pair has equal opportunity to access a channel to communicate data. In another embodiment, a priority level is mapped to a CID based on QoS.
- Upon detecting or receiving BW Reqs, the coordinator can allocate a communications channel based on the priority level of each bandwidth request. When the coordinator has allocated the communications channel, the coordinator can transmit or broadcast a bandwidth (BW)
grant message 630 to UEs in the D2D network. In one embodiment, the active UEs in the D2D network can be configured to wake up to receive the BW grant message. Each UE can determine whether resources have been allocated for the UE to transmit and/or receive data. In one embodiment, if no resources have been allocated for the UE to transmit and/or receive data then the UE can enter or re-enter a sleep mode. - In one embodiment, a BW grant message can include one or more BW allocation messages, where each BW allocation message is for one or more scheduled CIDs. In one embodiment, a BW allocation message can include the starting point of the resource allocation and/or the size of resource allocation scheduled for a CID(s). In one embodiment where spatial reuse is used, multiple CIDs can be scheduled on the same resource allocation.
- In one embodiment, a data channel or
data windows 692 and 694 can follow the resource allocation that occurs during a contention window. In one embodiment, during a data channel window at least one Tx UE and Rx UE pair wake up at a specified time to communicatedata Data - In one embodiment, a UE can be configured to only be active or awake to receive a BW grant message if the UE does not have data to communicate or if the UE is not selected as the coordinator. One advantage of the UEs that are not selected as coordinators and that do not have data to communicate, so that they only wake up to receive a BW grant message, is that they have a significant power savings as compared to WiFi based D2D communications system with sequential burst-by-burst contentions, where the UE must be awake all the time to receive communications.
- In one embodiment, a coordinator may not receive a BW Req due to poor link quality between the coordinator and the Tx UE. If a BW Req is not received by the coordinator or the BW Req is below a quality threshold, no bandwidth is allocated for the respective Tx UE while the coordinator is selected as the current coordinator. In one embodiment, the Tx UE can determine that the coordinator did not receive the bandwidth request by receiving a signal from the coordinator and measuring the received signal power of the coordinator's signal. In one embodiment, the Tx UE can enter sleep mode until a new coordinator is selected. The Tx UE may enter sleep mode to save power. In one embodiment, because active D2D UEs alternate as the coordinator, fair or equal transmission opportunity for each UE can still be achieved.
- In one embodiment, Tx UEs and/or Rx UEs can use an allocated channel to perform power control and/or link adaptation. For example, a first portion of an allocated resource for a Tx and Rx pair may be used by the Tx UE to send a
reference signal 660 and/or an Rx UE to feedback 670 a channel estimation, timing/frequency synchronization, power control, link adaptation, and/or MIMO feedback. In one embodiment, the D2D link can use the part of the existing power adjustment and/or CQI/RI/PMI feedback mechanism developed for a cellular system. - In one embodiment, spatial reuse may be used for D2D communication. For example, in a contention window, an Rx UE with a higher priority CID may detect or determine that there is another Tx UE that has no interference or negligible interference to the RX UE receiving data from the Tx receiver that the Rx UE is actively linked to. When the Rx UE determines the other Tx UE will not cause any interference or will cause interference below a selected or defined threshold, the Rx UE can communicate with the other Tx UE using an exchanging control message to inform the other Tx UE that it may use spatial reuse for D2D communications. In one embodiment, a Tx UE can include an additional CID as a spatial reuse pair in its BW Req message. The coordinator can account for the allowable reuse pair(s) that cause interference below a defined threshold in scheduling the transmissions or for D2D Tx UE and Rx UE pair communications scheduling. For example, the coordinator can allocate the same resource block to multiple links that can tolerate the interference from the other D2D UEs.

FIG. 7 illustrates one embodiment of a coordinator scheduling process. InFIG. 7 ,Rx3 UE 710 has been assigned as thecoordinator 710. In this example, in thebandwidth request stage 770,Tx1 UE 730,Tx2 UE 760, andTx3 UE 720 can each send the coordinator 710 a D2D bandwidth allocation request. Thecoordinator 710 can then schedule bandwidth for a link betweenRx1 UE 740 andTx1 UE 730 and a link betweenRx2 UE 750 andTx2 UE 760. In thebandwidth grant stage 780, thecoordinator 710 can then communicate the bandwidth allocation message to each of the Rx UEs and Tx UEs that have bandwidth allocated for D2D communication. - In the embodiment in
FIG. 7 , the link betweenRx3 UE 720 andTx3 UE 710 does not have bandwidth scheduled for data communication. In one example, no bandwidth may be scheduled for the link betweenTx3 UE 710 andRx3 UE 720 becauseTx3 UE 710 may not have any data to communicate withRx3 UE 720. In another example, no bandwidth may be scheduled for the link betweenTx3 UE 710 andRx3 UE 720 because the link betweenTx3 UE 710 andRx3 UE 720 may not have a priority high enough for thecoordinator 710 to schedule a D2D communication betweenTx3 UE 710 andRx3 UE 720. In the data andcontrol transmission stage 790, each of the link Tx UE and Rx UE pairs, i.e.Tx1 UE 730 paired withRx2 UE 740 andTx2 UE 760 paired withRx2 750, can each communicate data during the pair's allocated bandwidth period. - Another example provides
