- the UE 100 cancels the setting of the monitor gap based on the information.
- the monitor gap can be appropriately set by the above-described UE-driven operation or eNB-driven operation.
- the UE 100 cannot perform transmission / reception based on HARQ retransmission, cannot perform transmission / reception of ACK / NACK, or cannot transmit periodic CSI set in advance by monitoring Discovery signals at other frequencies.
- eNB200 allocates the useless radio
- FIGS. 9 and 10 are diagrams for explaining a period during which the Discovery signal according to the second embodiment is monitored.
- FIG. 11 is a sequence diagram for explaining an example of an operation according to the second embodiment.
- FIG. 12 is a diagram for explaining a control signal according to the second embodiment.
- the monitor gap is set.
- the monitoring gap is not set, and the UE 100 monitors the Discovery signal at another frequency only during the off period of the intermittent reception mode. Since the eNB 200 knows at least the off period of the UE 100, it is possible to avoid allocating unnecessary radio resources that cannot be transmitted and received by the UE 100 to the UE 100.
- a monitoring period (monitoring time) in which the UE 100 monitors the Discovery signal at another frequency will be described.
- the UE 100 monitors the Discovery signal at another frequency only during the off period.
- the UE 100 does not always monitor the Discovery signal during the off period, but monitors the Discovery signal only during the monitoring period in the off period.
- the monitoring period is a period in which a Discovery resource pool (at least a reception resource pool) of an adjacent cell operated at another frequency different from the serving cell frequency is arranged (hereinafter referred to as a resource pool period) and an off period. It is an overlapping period in the direction.
- the UE 100 may monitor the Discovery signal by switching to any one of a plurality of settings that are operation settings during the off period.
- a plurality of settings are defined by different operation priorities.
- the UE 100 is pre-configured with a first setting (D2D monitoring Setting A) and a second setting (D2D monitoring Setting B).
- D2D monitoring Setting A transmission of the uplink signal to the serving cell that occurs during the off period
- D2D monitoring Setting B transmission of the uplink signal to the serving cell that occurs during the off period
- the monitoring of the Discovery signal is the second priority operation. Therefore, the monitoring period in the first setting is a period in which the period during which no uplink signal is transmitted and the resource pool period overlap in the off period.
- monitoring of the Discovery signal is the first priority operation
- transmission of the uplink signal is the second priority operation. Therefore, the monitoring period in the second setting is the resource pool period in the off period, and is the same as the monitoring period in FIG.
- the reception of PDCCH is only exempted in the off period of the intermittent reception mode. Therefore, transmission of an uplink signal can occur during the off period of the intermittent reception mode.
- transmission of an uplink signal can occur during the off period of the intermittent reception mode.
- reduction of the opportunity of transmission of an uplink signal can be controlled. That is, since the UE 100 can switch between the first setting and the second setting, only one operation (for example, transmission of an uplink signal) is performed, and only the other operation (for example, monitoring of a Discovery signal) is performed. The problem of not being performed can be solved. That is, it is possible to achieve a good balance between uplink signal transmission and discovery signal monitoring.
- the UE 100 may switch between the first setting and the second setting when the number of times of monitoring of the Discovery signal at another frequency reaches a threshold value. A specific operation will be described with reference to FIG.
- step S301 the UE 100 applies the first setting (Setting A) as an initial setting.
- step S302 the UE 100 counts the number of times (opportunities) for monitoring the Discovery signal.
- the number of times of the present embodiment is the number of times per unit time.
- UE100 may count the frequency
- step S303 the UE 100 determines that the counted number (N) has reached the first threshold (N thresh-A ), that is, the counted number has become equal to or less than the first threshold.
- step S304 the UE 100 transmits control information indicating switching from the first setting to the second setting to the eNB 200 (serving cell).
- UE100 transmits to eNB200 by a MAC control element (MAC CE: MAC Control Element), for example.
- MAC CE MAC Control Element
- FIG. 12 when the control information (D) is “0”, switching to the first setting (that is, application of the first setting) is indicated.
- the control information (D) is “1”, this indicates switching to the second setting (that is, application of the second setting).
- step S306 as in step S302, the UE 100 starts counting the number of times the Discovery signal is monitored.
- step S307 the UE 100 determines that the counted number (N) has reached the second threshold value (N thresh-B ), that is, the counted number has reached or exceeded the second threshold value.
- step S308 the UE 100 transmits control information indicating switching from the second setting to the first setting to the eNB 200, similarly to step S304.
- step S302 is executed.
- the UE 100 may stop the control for switching between the first setting and the second setting, and monitor the Discovery signal according to one of the settings.
- the UE 100 can transmit control information indicating that switching control has been stopped to the eNB 200.
- eNB200 may transmit the control information for stopping the control which switches a 1st setting and a 2nd setting to UE100.
- the UE 100 may perform switching according to an instruction from the eNB 200 instead of switching independently. Specifically, the UE 100 may switch between the first setting and the second setting based on an instruction from the eNB 200 to switch between the first setting and the second setting.
- eNB200 can control operation
- the eNB 200 counts the number of times an uplink signal is received from the UE 100.
- the eNB 200 may count (calculate) the number of times of monitoring the Discovery signal from the number of times of reception of the uplink signal.
- the eNB 200 can issue a switching instruction according to control information as shown in FIG.
- the switching instruction indicates “0”
- the UE 100 switches to the first setting (that is, starts applying the first setting).
- the switching instruction indicates “1”
- the UE 100 switches to the second setting (that is, starts applying the second setting).
- the eNB 200-1 has acquired the Discovery resource information of other PLMNs from the UE 100, but is not limited thereto.
- the eNB 200-1 may acquire the Discovery resource information from the eNB 200-2 via the X2 interface.
- the eNB 200-1 may obtain the Discovery resource information from the OAM of the second PLMN via the OAM of the first PLMN.
- a D2D interest index (D2D Interest Indication) indicating whether the UE 100 is interested in D2D communication may be used as signaling from the UE 100 to the eNB 200.
- the D2D interest index may include information indicating activation / deactivation of the monitor gap or information indicating release of the monitor gap.
- the UE 100 When performing the D2D discovery procedure between PLMNs, it is assumed that the UE 100 becomes the D2D synchronization source, and the UE 100 is synchronized by the D2D synchronization signal transmitted from the UE 100 that is the D2D synchronization source. In this case, the synchronization procedure of the UE 100 is different between the same PLMN and between different PLMNs, and in some cases, the reception procedure of the Discovery signal of the UE 100 is different.
- the D2D frequency list of frequencies that can be used in the D2D proximity service includes not only frequencies that can be used in the same PLMN but also information on frequencies that can be used in different frequencies.
- the UE 100 specifies whether the frequency selected based on the D2D frequency list is a frequency used in the same PLMN as the selected PLMN of the UE 100 or a frequency used in a PLMN different from the selected PLMN of the UE 100. There is a need.
- the UE 100 includes not only information indicating a (neighboring) frequency supporting the D2D discovery procedure but also information indicating a corresponding PLMN in the D2D frequency list.
- the UE 100 specifies the frequency by using the following method without increasing the amount of information in the D2D frequency list.
- the UE 100 acquires from the serving cell a neighboring frequency list that is used in the PLMN selected by the UE 100 and indicates a frequency (adjacent frequency) that is different from the serving cell. For example, the UE 100 can acquire the adjacent frequency list by decoding the information transmitted by the SIB5.
- the UE 100 acquires the D2D frequency list from the serving cell. For example, the UE 100 can acquire the D2D frequency list by decoding the information transmitted by the SIB 18.
- the UE 100 compares the adjacent frequency list with the D2D frequency list (see FIG. 13). As shown in FIG. 13, the UE 100 determines that the frequency F1 common to the adjacent frequency list and the D2D frequency list can be used in the D2D discovery procedure in the same PLMN. Specifically, the UE 100 determines that the Inter-Freq. & Intra-PLMN D2D discovery procedure is determined to be possible.
- the UE 100 determines that the frequency F3 indicated only in the D2D frequency list can be used in the D2D discovery procedure in a different PLMN. Specifically, UE 100 determines that Inter-Freq. & Inter-PLMN D2D discovery procedure is determined to be possible. Therefore, the UE 100 can specify that the frequency F3 is a frequency used in different PLMNs.
- the D2D frequency list does not include frequencies that can be used by the forbidden PLMN (only) that is a PLMN that the UE 100 cannot select.
- the VPLMN is selected based on the roaming contract between the HPLM and the VPLMN, not the direct subscriber contract between the UE 100 and the VPLMN. Therefore, the setting for the UE 100 may be different between the HPLM and the VPLMN. Therefore, the D2D frequency list received by the UE 100 from the roaming destination serving cell is considered to include frequencies that can be used in the prohibited PLMN.
- the UE 100 may transmit a Discovery signal without permission at a frequency that can be used in the prohibited PLMN. Therefore, the following method can prevent the UE 100 from transmitting a Discovery signal without permission at a frequency that can be used by the prohibited PLMN.
- the UE 100 receives the D2D frequency list from the roaming serving cell.
- the prohibited PLMN list is preferably stored in the USIM. Therefore, even when the USIM of the UE 100 is changed (that is, when the subscriber information is changed), malfunction of the UE 100 can be prevented.
- the UE 100 when the UE 100 receives authentication of the PLMN and can select the PLMN, the UE 100 transmits a use request requesting to transmit a Discovery signal using the selected D2D frequency to the cell belonging to the selected PLMN. To do. On the other hand, if the UE 100 cannot select the PLMN, the UE 100 selects another D2D frequency. Alternatively, the UE 100 gives up transmission of the Discovery signal. The UE 100 may register the PLMN in the prohibited PLMN list.
- the server in the PLMN to which the cell that received the use request belongs determines whether or not the UE 100 can authenticate the Discovery signal transmission. If the server can authenticate the discovery signal transmission, the server notifies the acceptance of the discovery signal transmission. If the server cannot authenticate the discovery signal transmission, the server notifies the rejection of the discovery signal transmission.
- the UE 100 can transmit the Discovery signal using the D2D frequency without authentication of the PLMN (and consent to transmit the Discovery signal).
- PS information is at least a part of authentication information indicating, for example, authentication of a public safety organization.
- the authentication information may be a password (authentication key).
- the said authentication information is a some authentication key,
- the authentication key applied according to time (UTC) may change. For example, when the UE 100 stores a first authentication key (used from 0:00 to 12:00) and a second authentication key (used from 12:00 to 24:00), authentication for generating PS information according to the current time Select a key.
- the said authentication information is memorize
- the bitmap is a subframe that the eNB 200-1 desires not to use (for example, in the HARQ process).
- the bit frame indicating “0” and the subframe that may be used by the eNB 200-1 may be “1”.
- a subframe that may receive control information (UL grant) for the uplink signal, a subframe that performs retransmission of the uplink signal (eg, UL HARQ retransmission subframe), an uplink signal, and / or A subframe (DL / UL HARQ feedback) for transmitting feedback information for retransmission of a downlink signal may be indicated by “1”.
- information indicating one monitor gap may indicate a gap pattern at all frequencies of interest. For example, assume that “0” indicates a subframe that is desired to be monitored and “1” indicates a subframe that is not desired to be monitored. When the subframe pattern of the transmission resource pool in the first frequency is “11100000” and the subframe pattern of the transmission resource pool in the second frequency is “00000111”, the information indicating one monitor gap is “11100111” may also be indicated. Thereby, overhead can be reduced.
- information indicating one monitor gap may indicate information indicating a gap pattern for each frequency of interest.
- a UE that is interested in a plurality of frequencies that is, a UE that wants to use a D2D proximity service at a plurality of frequencies transmits information indicating a plurality of monitor gaps to the eNB 200.
- Each piece of information indicating a plurality of monitor gaps is associated with an identifier of each frequency.
- the eNB 200 may determine (set) the monitor gap of another UE 100 based on the information indicating the gap pattern transmitted from the UE 100. For example, the UE 100 transmits information indicating a gap pattern associated with an identifier of a predetermined frequency as information indicating the monitor gap to the eNB 200, and the other UE 100 includes the identifier of the desired predetermined frequency.
- the eNB 200 can set the same gap pattern as the gap pattern from the UE 100 as the monitor gap of the other UE 100.
- the UE 100 monitors the Discovery signal at another frequency during the off period of the intermittent reception mode, but is not limited thereto.
- the UE 100 may monitor a Discovery signal at another frequency in a measurement gap (Measurement Gap) that is a period allocated to measure the radio field intensity from the base station in another system.
- UE (connected UE) 100 connected to the cell may monitor the Discovery signal at another frequency only in the measurement gap.
- the connected cell does not transmit a radio signal to the UE 100, so that the UE 100 cannot receive information from the connected cell by transmitting or receiving a D2D radio signal. There is no problem.
- the UE 100 determines the monitor gap when determining that the monitoring of the Discovery signal at other frequencies cannot be sufficiently performed only by the set off period of the intermittent reception mode and / or the set measurement gap.
- the UE 100 may transmit a monitor gap request to the eNB 200. For example, even if the UE 100 is difficult to monitor the Discovery signal at other frequencies in the off period and / or the measurement gap of the intermittent reception mode, or even when monitoring the Discovery signal at other frequencies, the UE 100 may discover from the other UE 100 the Discovery signal. When a signal cannot be received, a monitor gap may be determined or a monitor gap request may be transmitted to the eNB 200.
- the UE 100 determines the monitor gap when the quality of the reference value or higher (for example, discovery probability) cannot be ensured by monitoring the Discovery signal only in the off period of the intermittent reception mode and / or the measurement gap. Or a monitor gap request may be transmitted to the eNB 200. For example, the UE 100 determines that the quality (accuracy) of the monitor cannot be secured when the intermittent reception mode off period and / or the measurement gap time is too short.
- the quality of the reference value or higher for example, discovery probability
- the reference value may be set by the eNB 200 (serving cell), or may be set by a network device higher than the eNB 200 (for example, a server having an MME, OAM, NAS entity, ProSe Function, etc.) Alternatively, it may be a predetermined threshold (pre-defined value).
- the server having ProSe Function is a server that performs management related to the D2D proximity service, and is, for example, the first server 400-1 (or the second server 400-2) described above.
- the eNB 200-2 transmits the setting information including the Discovery resource information in the second PLMN by the SIB 18, but the eNB 200-1 includes the Discovery resource information in the first PLMN to which the eNB 200-1 belongs.
- the setting information may be transmitted by the SIB 18.
- the eNB 200-1 may transmit Discovery resource information in another PLMN (or another eNB 200-2) by SIB.
- the eNB 200-1 may transmit Discovery resource information in another PLMN (or another eNB 200-2) to each UE 100 by unicast using a dedicated signal (dedicated signaling).
- the description has focused on the monitoring (reception) of the Discovery signal, but the present invention is not limited to this.
- the contents described above may be applied to the announcement (transmission) of the Discovery signal. Therefore, the above discovery (reception) of the Discovery signal may be replaced with an announcement (transmission) of the Discovery signal.
- the above-described content may be applied not only to the D2D discovery procedure but also to other operations (for example, D2D communication). Therefore, the above-described Discovery signal may be replaced with a D2D communication signal.
- the UE 100 may determine a gap for transmitting and / or receiving D2D communication signals at other frequencies.
- eNB200 serving cell
- the LTE system has been described as an example of a mobile communication system.
- the present invention is not limited to the LTE system, and the present invention may be applied to a system other than the LTE system.
- Proposal 1 Inter-PLMN D2D discovery procedure (inter-PLMN discovery) should be supported in Release 12.
- discovery resource information is further required for D2D UEs to monitor Discovery signals transmitted in cells belonging to other PLMNs.
- the UE obtains from the serving cell SIB (eg, SIB18) a full set of information for receiving the Discovery signal within the same frequency and at least an indication as to which frequency supports the discovery procedure. can do.
- SIB 18 transmitted from the serving cell includes a full set of information for the inter-frequency discovery procedure has not yet been determined, but within the same frequency / between frequencies as long as the frequencies are provided by the same PLMN. It may be assumed that the serving cell has knowledge about such information about the reception of the Discovery signal.
- Option 1 The serving cell provides a copy of the SIB 18 from the other PLMN in the SIB.
- Option 1 may be included in a setting based on a roaming contract, or a setting by a server that is shared or available by a plurality of PLMNs.
- discovery procedure information shared from the SIB 18 is static or quasi-static. It is assumed that the UE may decode the SIB 18 of this UE's serving cell to obtain discovery procedure information belonging to different PLMN (s).
- the disadvantage of this option is that the size of SIB 18 increases significantly, especially when discovery procedure information from different PLMNs (multiple inter-PLMNs) needs to be supported.
- RAN level SIB18 sharing This may use direct X2 communication by PLMN (s). More dynamic SIB 18 sharing can be easily implemented, but is at least outside the scope of release 12.
- Option 2 The UE acquires the SIB 18 directly from a cell belonging to another PLMN.
- the UE needs to acquire the SIB 18 directly from a neighboring cell belonging to another PLMN (s). This facilitates dynamic SIB 18 sharing, and the serving cell need not provide different PLMN (s) SIBs 18 within its own SIB 18.
- This option increases the complexity of the UE decoding multiple SIBs 18 for the inter-PLMN discovery procedure. Whether a UE needs to cooperate with the serving cell of the UE in order to obtain an SIB 18 belonging to another PLMN is a further challenge.
- the size of the SIB 18 will need to be significantly increased to accommodate discovery procedure information from multiple PLMNs.
- the size of the SIB is limited within the same PLMN, especially when the discovery procedure information is assumed to be quasi-static, the complexity for the UE to decode multiple SIBs 18 is limited. Is done. Therefore, we conclude that Option 2 should be adopted.
- Proposal 3 The serving cell should agree that it is sufficient to provide the SIB 18 belonging to its own PLMN.
- the serving cell may notify which neighboring frequency supports ProSe discovery in the SIB information.
- the UE If frequency information is not available from the SIB of the UE's serving cell, the UE only needs to check if cells from other PLMNs are in coverage and whether SIB 18 is provided. Often, it will be necessary to adjust the frequency of the receiver to a frequency different from the frequency of the serving cell. However, if other PLMN frequencies are provided listed in the serving cell's SIB, the UE only needs to tune to the specified frequency and use existing DRX opportunities and cells belonging to different PLMNs. SIB18 may be obtained directly from
- Proposal 4 The serving cell SIB should agree to provide other PLMN frequencies with the D2D discovery procedure between PLMNs in mind.
- the serving cell may not be able to properly configure the UE for monitoring the inter-PLMN discovery signal.
- the following two options may be considered for the UE to obtain SIB18 information and monitor the Discovery signal from a cell belonging to another PLMN.
- the UE may perform reception of SIB18 or SIB19 belonging to different PLMNs and monitoring of Discovery signals during the DRX off period using the existing DRX settings.
- Option 2a Discovery procedure information between PLMNs is indirectly provided to the serving cell by the UE. For example, the UE forwards all (full set) or part (subset) of SIBs 18 received from cells belonging to different PLMNs.
- Option 1a does not require significant changes to existing specifications to support discovery procedures between PLMNs, but with existing DRX, the discovery procedure opportunity between PLMNs is based on “best effort”. Yes. There is no guarantee that the UE can monitor the Discovery signal between the preferred PLMNs using only DRX. Moreover, the UE may perform UL cellular communications such as, for example, HARQ retransmission and scheduling request (SR) during the DRX off period, and the UE may perform discovery monitoring and ULWAN communications that occur simultaneously. Since no support is provided, the opportunity for inter-PLMN discovery monitoring is reduced.
- SR HARQ retransmission and scheduling request
- the UE provides discovery procedure information between PLMNs that are interested in the serving cell.
- the serving cell receives the discovery procedure information, it is left to the serving cell to decide whether to set the UE with an appropriate opportunity for the inter-PLMN discovery procedure.
- the disadvantage of this option is that signaling over the Uu interface may increase.
- Proposal 5 It should be agreed that UE behavior regarding inter-PLMN discovery monitoring should be under the control of the serving cell.
- Proposal 6 If SIB18 information is not exchanged between PLMNs, it should be considered whether option 1a is preferred or option 2a is preferred.
- SIB18 information is exchanged between PLMNs.
- the serving cell has an opportunity to discover between PLMNs of cells belonging to other PLMNs. It may be assumed that you know. However, due to the number of neighboring cells from other PLMNs, it is not feasible for the serving cell to include all discovery resources from other PLMNs in the SIB 18. The size of SIB 18 will be significantly increased. The serving cell will have two options when setting up gap opportunities for the UE to monitor and receive discovery resources from cells belonging to other PLMNs.
- Option 1b If the serving cell does not broadcast discovery procedure information in the SIB 18, it is left to the serving cell to set the inter-PLMN discovery opportunity on the UE for one or more discoverable frequencies.
- the serving cell may set an inter-PLMN discovery opportunity for the UE according to the UE capabilities.
- the serving cell does not need to provide inter-PLMN discovery procedure information including some inter-PLMN frequency information in the SIB18.
- the serving cell does not require feedback from the UE to set up an inter-PLMN discovery opportunity for the UE. This is a simpler way to support the inter-PLMN discovery procedure, but option 1b has the disadvantage that the serving cell cannot take into account the UE's preference for the inter-PLMN discovery procedure.
- the serving cell broadcasts frequencies that can be discovered in other PLMNs in the SIB 18.
- the UE may indicate to the serving cell the UE's intention to monitor discovery resources on one or more frequencies in other PLMNs. Based on the discovery interest indication, the serving cell may set up an appropriate inter-PLMN discovery opportunity for the UE for the needs of the UE.
- Option 2b has the advantage that the serving cell can accurately determine the discovery opportunity setting based on the frequency that the UE is interested in. This has the disadvantage that additional signaling is required to broadcast the PLMN frequency in the SIB and the UE needs to send discovery interest indications to the serving cell before the discovery opportunity is properly set for the UE. is there.
- option 2b is desirable because the serving cell may limit discovery opportunities to only those frequencies that the UE is interested in.
- Proposal 7 Given that SIB18 information is exchanged between PLMNs, the inter-PLMN discovery opportunity should be based on the frequency of interest to the UE.
- Proposal 1 At least in Release 12, it should be assumed that only the RAN provides a list of inter-PLMN frequencies that support ProSe discovery.
- the UE may monitor the discovery signal transmitted on the additional ProSe carrier.
- the UE is allowed to receive another permission regardless of whether the frequency is in the list of SIBs 18 received from PLMN1 or PLMN2 only if the UE has permission from the higher layer and does not affect Uu reception. It may be further determined whether to monitor the discovery signal at the PLMN (ie, PLMN 3 not depicted in FIG. 15).
- Proposal 2 The UE is not requested from the serving cell to match a carrier other than the ProSe carrier existing in the SIB18 list. Furthermore, there is no restriction on the UE monitoring frequencies that are not present in the serving cell SIB18 list.
- ProSe reception does not affect Uu reception (for example, UE performs ProSe discovery reception) To use DRX opportunities in idle and connected state, or to use a second RX chain when available).
- the main purpose of this agreement is to avoid the UE using an autonomous gap for ProSe discovery. This means that the gap set by the eNB (eNB-configured gap) is based on the existing mechanism for the measurement gap procedure and is not considered to affect Uu reception.
- Confirmation 1 A gap clearly set from the eNB is not considered to affect Uu reception.
- ProSe discovery using only DRX opportunities may result in a decrease in discovery probability, that is, best effort discovery.
- a UE with dual Rx chain capability has an additional advantage, but currently assumes a single receiver for discovery. Furthermore, it is assumed that a non-public safety UE may not be able to receive simultaneously on the DL and UL spectrum of an FDD carrier that supports D2D proximity services.
- the discovery opportunity should be based on the existing gap mechanism.
- the serving cell since the gap mechanism works for discovery, the serving cell has detailed ProSe discovery procedure information for other inter-PLMN carriers to set the appropriate parameters for UEs interested in Discovery monitoring. Should. Since it has been agreed that the UE needs to read the SIB 18 of the other Inter-PLMN carrier in order to monitor the discovery signal transmitted on the other Inter-PLMN carrier, the UE has already acquired It will be assumed that it is necessary to have the ability to notify the serving cell of detailed ProSe discovery procedure information for other inter-PLMN carriers.
- the serving cell has no detailed ProSe discovery configuration information for different PLMNs of interest, ie there is no network level coordination (ie sharing detailed discovery information between OAMs or RANs)
- the following two options are considered as options for the serving cell to obtain this information before deciding whether to set a gap for the UE:
- Option 1 The UE transfers a part or all of the SIB 18 received from the inter-PLMN cell (a cell belonging to a different PLMN) to the serving cell.
- a further issue is when the UE has to send inter-PLMN SIB18 information to the serving cell.
- Option 2 The UE notifies the serving cell of possible gap opportunities, eg, the gap pattern determined by the UE based on the SIB 18 received from the inter-PLMN cell.
- Option 1 is more preferable than Option 1 from the viewpoint of signaling overhead because the UE may need to transfer multiple SIBs 18 to the serving cell.
- Option 2 only requires the UE to inform the serving cell of the desired gap pattern. Whether the serving cell can indicate whether inter-PLMN coordination between NWs can be assumed or whether the NW can determine whether UE assistance is required for inter-PLMN discovery is a further issue. is there.
- Proposal 3 The serving cell should set a gap for Inter-PLMN discovery monitoring (receiving discovery signals between different PLMNs) in the UE.
- the setting may be based on a gap pattern requested from the UE.
- Intra-PLMN discovery D2D discovery procedure in the same PLMN
- the serving cell regardless of whether the serving cell directly provides detailed ProSe discovery procedure information of neighboring cells to the UE, It may be premised on having detailed ProSe discovery procedure information of neighboring cells.
- the above FFS suggests that the serving cell may not only provide its own SIB 18 but also provide detailed ProSe discovery procedure information for other intra-PLMN frequencies.
- the significance of the FFS is not whether the serving cell can provide ProSe discovery procedure information of an inter-frequency cell (different frequency cell) to the UE, but that the serving cell can actually cooperate with the inter-frequency cell.
- the serving cell can set an appropriate gap for the UE for inter-frequency ProSe discovery without providing detailed ProSe discovery procedure information.
- Table 1 compares two cases: (1) the UE directly acquires SIB18 from other carriers (baseline), and (2) the UE acquires SIB18 information only from its serving cell (FFS). Show.
- the FFS scheme (Case 2) has the advantage of reducing UE complexity and allowing network configurable operation.
- the baseline scheme (Case 1) relies on existing DRX mechanisms. Thus, even if the UE obtains the SIB 18 directly from another carrier, that information is not at all useful for the UE if the discovery opportunities are very limited. Therefore, as a configuration option, we propose that the eNB has the ability to provide detailed ProSe discovery procedure information for other intra-PLMN frequencies (same PLMN frequency).
- the eNB may provide detailed ProSe discovery procedure information for other Intra-PLMN carriers via SIB and / or individual signals as configuration options.
- Proposal 4 cannot be agreed, it is possible to consider alternative schemes. As shown in Table 1, network-configurable discovery opportunities are beneficial to ensure discovery performance as well as a reduction in UE complexity. It may be assumed that the serving cell may acquire SIB18 information of the inter-frequency neighbor cell via the OAM. In this alternative, not only does the serving cell not provide the entire contents of the SIB 18 on other Intra-PLMN frequencies, but the UE does not need to inform the serving cell of some or all of the SIB 18 on other carriers. However, the serving cell has the ability to set a gap for the discovery monitor in the UE. This alternative scheme can be a compromise, since the drawbacks (signaling load) can be removed.
- Proposal 5 Even if the serving cell cannot agree to provide detailed ProSe discovery procedure information to the UE, the serving cell should set an appropriate gap for the discovery monitor in the UE.
- FIG. 16 shows an example in which a monitor UE camping on a serving cell that does not support ProSe discovery wants to know a list of carriers that support ProSe discovery.
- the serving cell provides a list of carriers in the SIB
- the operation of the monitor UE is similar to the agreed inter-frequency discovery.
- Proposal 6 A serving cell that does not support ProSe discovery on its own carrier should also provide a list of other ProSe carriers (and detailed ProSe discovery procedure information (if Proposal 4 is agreed)) in SIB.
- B3.2.2 NW operation to receive ProSe instructions It is agreed that the UE sends a ProSe instruction to the serving cell in order to notify the intention about discovery for both ProSe discovery (D2D discovery procedure) and communication (D2D communication) It was done.
- the eNB operation that receives the ProSe indication includes an option for handover that moves the UE to a carrier that supports ProSe communication.
- the NW operation for receiving the ProSe instruction is still unclear. Therefore, the UE operation is also unclear, for example, the trigger for the UE to send a ProSe indication is unclear.
- Proposal 7 The operation expected from the NW that receives the ProSe instruction related to discovery should be considered.
- the eNB assigns the UE to allocate a carrier depending on whether the UE indicates “interested” or “no longer interested” in the ProSe indication message for discovery. It may be moved (ie, handed over).
- the eNB receives the ProSe indication that the UE is interested in inter-frequency discovery and then receives the DRX parameter or (if Proposal 3, 4 Or (if 5 is acceptable) any of the gap updates may be reconfigured in the UE.
- the serving cell Upon receiving the ProSe instruction for discovery, the serving cell has the option to perform handover and / or change the DRX of the UE to assist the discovery monitor.
- the ProSe instruction for communication is desired to support ProSe communication including transmission and reception It is agreed to include the ProSe frequency.
- the ProSe indication contains the desired frequency. For example, if the UE indicates that the frequency of interest is the serving frequency, it is likely that no handover is required.
- the serving cell needs to provide the UE with a gap for handing over the UE to the frequency of interest or at least monitoring the discovery on that frequency. May be.
- the UE may not have a preference for the frequency of interest, but in the future application-specific frequencies will be indicated in higher layers, or the UE will keep historical information about discovery at a particular frequency There is a possibility. For example, if a serving cell sets a gap for a UE on a particular frequency and the UE can receive a discovery signal of interest on that frequency, the serving cell indicates to the serving cell the frequency of interest, It is then useful to prevent the UE from setting gaps for different frequencies that are not of interest.
- the method by which the UE indicates interest in the inter-frequency discovery monitor, for example, whether the UE just sends the serving frequency as the frequency of interest is FFS.
- Proposal 8 It should allow the UE to include the frequency list of interest in the ProSe instructions.
- the serving cell can know that the ProSe instruction notifies the interest regarding the inter-PLMN discovery using means for comparing the frequency list of the ProSe instruction and the list of its SIB 18. If Proposal 3 for obtaining information for setting the gap is acceptable, the serving cell receives the ProSe indication indicating the inter-PLMN discovery monitor and then performs inter-PLMN discovery monitor on the UE. Appropriate actions should be taken.
- Proposal 9 In addition to intra- or inter-frequency discovery, ProSe instructions for notifying the intention regarding reception of inter-PLMN discovery should be permitted.
- the UE auxiliary information is only intended for a request for transmission resources in an intra-frequency operation.
- the ProSe instruction may have many functions including an inter-frequency operation.
- the eNB and / or UE operation is consistent, there is no reason to have two independent messages for similar functionality. If Proposition 11 is acceptable, such a conflict may occur when the ProSe indication indicates that it is interested in an intra-frequency discovery announcement, but it can be distinguished by the type of serving cell that receives the indication. is there. That is, if it is a ProSe support cell, a Type 2B resource is allocated, and if it is a non-ProSe support cell, handover can be started. Therefore, it is preferable to unify both messages into one message.
- Proposal 10 One RRC message should be introduced to unify existing functions assigned to UE auxiliary information as baseline.
- the UE can be handed over to a non-ProSe supported cell (probably one cell that is less congested) and the UE It may be appropriate to allow the use of a second receiver for monitoring.
- Proposal 11 The UE should notify the serving cell of the intention for the discovery announcement.
- Confirmation 2 The UE is not required to camp on a cell that supports ProSe discovery (see FIG. 17) when attempting UE inter-frequency (and inter-PLMN) discovery monitoring.
- the load balance between the frequency cells may be optimized.
- existing reselection procedures and priorities need to be changed to accommodate UEs that are interested in discovery monitors.
- the reselection procedure and priority are considered, taking into account the idle mode load balance issues specifically set for the UE via the cell reselection priority provided by the SIB5 or individual signals. Changes need to be carefully considered.
- the UE should follow the existing reselection priority set by the eNB.
- the idle UE is interested in ProSe discovery, it should be further considered whether to allow the ProSe discovery to be prioritized over the existing cell reselection procedure. If the inter-frequency cell is not synchronized with the serving cell, it should be considered whether the existing DRX opportunities are sufficient for discovery monitoring on other frequencies. In addition, if a UE interested in a ProSe discovery monitor also tends to be interested in a ProSe discovery announcement, it may be better for the UE to camp on a cell operating on a carrier on the SIN18 list. . This is because reselection can be avoided before transmitting the discovery signal.
- ProSe carriers need to be prioritized depends on the premise regarding UEs that are interested in ProSe discovery monitors.
- Proposal 12 The UE should be allowed to prioritize for ProSe discovery during cell reselection.

以下に、実施形態の補足事項について付記する。
(A1)導入
この付記1では、PLMN間発見機能(inter-PLMN D2D discovery functiolity)をサポートするための方法及び可能な解決策を検討する。
一部の企業は、特に、既存のピア・ツー・ピア発見機能に優る利点を考慮して、LTE D2DにおけるPLMN間機能をサポートすることに関心を示した。SA2は、リリース12におけるPLMN間発見手順のサポートもキャプチャーした。さらに、D2Dは、交通事故(トラフィックアクシデント)を削減する可能性のある有望なテクノロジーのうちの1つとして既に確認されている。D2D発見手順が同一PLMN内での運用に制限される場合、D2Dの有用性は、著しく低減されるであろう。
(A3.1)課題
提案1が採用される場合、PLMN間発見手順を行う1つの単純な方法は、セル間/周波数間発見手順サポートのためのメカニズムに、PLMN間発見手順の機能を組み込むことである。換言すると、PLMN間発見手順は、セル間/周波数間発見手順のために合意済みであるSIBの使用を通じてサポートされるべきである。
PLMN間発見手順をサポートするために、発見リソース情報は、D2D UEが他のPLMNに属するセルにおいて送信されたDiscovery信号をモニタするためにさらに必要とされる。UEは、サービングセルのSIB(例えば、SIB18)から、同一周波数内でDiscovery信号を受信するための情報のフルセットと、少なくとも発見手順をサポートするのはどの周波数であるかについてのインディケーションとを取得することができる。サービングセルから送信されたSIB18が周波数間発見手順のための情報のフルセットを含むか否かは、未だ決定されていないが、同じPLMNから提供される周波数である限り、同一周波数内/周波数間でのDiscovery信号の受信についてのこのような情報に関する知識をサービングセルが有することが前提とされてもよい。
・オプション1:サービングセルは、他のPLMNからのSIB18のコピーをSIBの中で提供する。
下記合意において、「隣接周波数」が他のPLMNの周波数を含むか否かは明確でない。
PLMN間のSIB18情報交換の有無の前提の各事例に関して、論点が検討され得る。この章では、2つの観点について考察する。
上記提案に合意できる場合、PLMN間の発見手順は、周波数間発見メカニズムに加えて容易に実現されるであろう。しかしながら、異なるPLMN(inter-PLMN)の発見手順情報の共有がサポートされていないことが前提とされる場合、異なるPLMNに属するセルからSIB18情報を取得する機会をサービングセルがUEに適切に設定する簡単な方法は、存在しないであろう。特に、RAN1は、UEがサポートするFDDキャリアのスペクトルをDLおよびULで同時に受信できない可能性があることを既に前提としている。
SIB18のフルセットが異なるPLMNに属するセルの間で交換されることを前提として、サービングセルが、他のPLMNに属するセルのPLMN間発見機会を知っていることが前提とされてもよい。しかしながら、他のPLMNからの隣接セルの個数に起因して、サービングセルが他のPLMNからの全ての発見リソースをSIB18に含めることは実現可能でない。SIB18のサイズは、著しく増大されるであろう。サービングセルは、UEが他のPLMNに属するセルからの発見リソースをモニタ及び受信するためのギャップ機会(gap occasions)を設定する際に2つのオプションを有するであろう。
この付記1では、PLMN間D2D発見手順の必要性を検討し、PLMN間D2D発見手順をサポートするためにシンプルなメカニズムを提供した。また、想定される課題及び潜在的な解決方法を述べた。
(B1)導入
この付記2では、inter-Frequency及びinter-PLMN discovery(異なる周波数間及び異なるPLMN間におけるD2D発見手順)をサポートするための未解決の課題を、可能な解決策に沿って考察する。
この章では、inter-frequency/inter-PLMN discoveryを考察する。
inter-PLMNキャリアに関して、上位レイヤが、他のProSeキャリアのリストを代わりに提供できるかどうかは、FFSである。これは、サービングセルが所定の理由のためにSIB18を提供できない場合に、UEにとって有益な可能性がある。しかしながら、既存のコンセプトを引き継ぐために、RAN(無線アクセスネットワーク)自身が、自身のセルの動作周波数を決定して、且つ、どのキャリアがdiscoveryをサポートするかを決定する責任を有さなくてはならない。さらに、現時点では、上位レイヤ、すなわち、ProSe機能は、ProSe discovery(D2D発見手順)のためのキャリアのリストを提供できない、すなわち、E-UTRANがサービスを提供できない時にProSe直接通信に使用される無線パラメータのみが提供されてもよい。そのような上位レイヤ信号を導入した場合、RANとProSe機能との間の追加のインターフェイスの導入が必要となる。従って、少なくともリリース12では、上位レイヤによって提供されるinter-PLMN ProSe discoveryのための他のキャリアのリストをサポートすべきでないということを提案する。
(B2.2.1)ProSe discoveryキャリアのリストを受信する上でのUE動作
UEがProSe discovery信号の受信を目的にできるキャリアのリストを、eNBはSIBで提供してもよい。これは、当該リストを制限するものであるか、当該リストがUEを補助するものであるかの一方又は両方のように思える。inter-PLMN discovery信号のモニタは、既存のPLMN選択手順の後に実行されるので、より明確にリストを受信する上でのUE動作を定義する必要がある。リストが、モニタUEの不必要な電力消費を減少させるための単なる補助情報である、すなわち、UEは、リストで提供されたキャリア上で送信されたProSe discovery信号のみをモニタしてもしなくてもよい、ことが好ましいと理解する。これは、例えば、図15に示すように、他のPLMN(すなわち、PLMN2)のSIB18におけるリストに存在し、サービングセル(すなわち、PLMN1)のSIB18のリストには存在しない追加のProSeキャリア(D2D周波数)に、UEが気付いた場合、当該UEは、追加のProSeキャリア上で送信されたdiscovery信号をモニタしてもよいことを意味している。さらに、UEが上位レイヤから許可を得ており、且つ、Uu受信に影響を与えない場合に限り、PLMN1又はPLMN2から受信したSIB18のリストに存在する周波数かどうかに関係なく、UEは、さらに他のPLMN(すなわち、図15には描かれていないPLMN3)でdiscovery信号をモニタするかどうかをさらに決定してもよい。
上述の合意事項では、ProSe受信は、Uu受信に影響を与えない(例えば、UEが、ProSe discovery受信を実行するために、アイドル及び接続状態でDRX機会を利用したり、利用可能な場合は第2のRXチェインを使用したりする)ことが表明されている。この合意の主な目的は、UEがProSe discoveryのための自律的なギャップを使用することを避けるためである。これは、eNBから設定されたギャップ(eNB-configured gap)は、メジャメントギャップ手順に関する既存のメカニズムに基づいており、Uu受信に影響を与えると見なされないことを意味する。
この章では、inter-frequency/intra-PLMN discoveryを考察する。
(B3.2.1)自身のキャリアでProSe discoveryをサポートしないサービングセルが他のProSeキャリアのリストを提供できるかどうか
eNBは、(可能であれば、対応するPLMN IDと共に)UEがProSe discovery信号の受信を試みるキャリア(intra-PLMN-inter-frequency及び/又はinter-PLMN-inter-frequency)のリストをSIBで提供してもよいことが合意されているが、図16に示すように、自身のキャリアでProSe discoveryをサポートしないセービングセルが他のProSeキャリアのリストを提供できるかどうかを明確にすべきである。
ProSe discovery(D2D発見手順)及びcommunication(D2D通信)の両方に関して、UEがdiscoveryに関する意図を通知するためにProSe指示をサービングセルに送ることが合意された。ProSe communicationに関して、ProSe指示を受信するeNB動作は、ProSe communicationをサポートするキャリアへUEを移動させるハンドオーバに関するオプションを含む。しかしながら、ProSe discoveryに関して、ProSe指示を受信するNW動作はまだ不明確である。従って、UE動作もまた不明確であり、例えば、UEがProSe指示を送信するトリガが不明確である。
(B3.2.3.1)周波数情報
discoveryに関して考察されていないが、communicationのためのProSe指示が、送信及び受信を含むProSe communicationをサポートするための所望のProSe周波数を含むことは、合意されている。discovery目的に関して、ProSe指示が所望の周波数を含むこともまた利点がある。例えば、興味のある周波数がサービング周波数であることをUEが示す場合、ハンドオーバは必要とされない可能性が高い。
ProSe指示と同様の機能性に関して、ProSe discoveryリソースを要求するためにUE補助情報メッセージを再利用することが、ベースラインとして合意され、それは、Type2B discovery(すなわち、各UE個別にdiscovery信号のアナウンスのためのリソースが割り当てられる手順)のための送信リソースの要求にのみ関して基本的に前提としていた。従って、ProSe指示をベースライン合意と統一すべきかどうかが課題である。表2に機能がリストアップされている。
モニタに関する意図を通知するためのdiscoveryのためのProSe指示が合意された。UEがdiscoveryアナウンス(送信)を実行したいが非ProSeサポートセル(すなわち、ProSe近傍サービスをサポートしていないセル)に現在接続しているケース(図16参照)において、UEのためにそのような行き詰まった状況への対処法を考察すべきである。可能な解決法は、サービングセルがProSeサポートキャリアへのハンドオーバを実行することをUEが期待しており、UEがProSe指示で当該アナウンス意図をサービングセルに通知することかもしれない。この通知によって、サービングセルは、例えば、UEをProSeサポートセルにハンドオーバさせる必要があるかどうかを決定できる。UEが二重に受信機を備えており、且つdiscoveryアナウンスの意図を有さないケースでは、UEを非ProSeサポートセル(おそらく、より輻輳していない1つのセル)にハンドオーバさせて、UEがdiscoveryモニタのために第2の受信機を使用することを許可することが適切かもしれない。
RRCアイドルUEにおける優先処理を考察する前に、inter-frequency discoveryをサポートする方法を明確にすべきである。MBMSケースにおいて、MBMS受信を試みるUEは、単一の受信機を備えている場合に限り、UEは興味のあるMBMSサービスを提供しているセルにキャンプする必要がある。一方で、「intra-及びinter-frequency(及びinter-PLMN) ProSe受信は、Uu受信に影響を与えない(例えば、UEが、ProSe discovery受信を実行するために、アイドル及び接続状態でDRX機会を利用したり、利用可能な場合は第2のRXチェインを使用したりする)。UEは、自律的なギャップを作り出すべきではない。」によれば、discoveryモニタは、ProSe discoveryをサポートするセルにキャップすることを要求していないように思える。これは、既存のinter-frequency測定におけるCRS受信と同様のアプローチである可能性が高い。しかしながら、UEがinter-frequency discoveryモニタのためにそのセルにキャンプすることを要求されるか否かがまだ明確でない。
この付記2では、inter-frequency及びinter-PLMN discoveryに関する未解決の課題を考察し、現在の合意の明確性を与えている。discoveryモニタ手順及びProSe指示に関する拡張の必要性を主張している。さらに、既存のセル再選択手順への考慮を与えている。
