  • Publication number: 20130260760
    Abstract: A method, a mobile relay using the same and a DeNB using the same are proposed. The present disclosure reduces the time required to perform wireless service handover by detecting the movement status of the mobile relay relative to a candidate DeNB as to determine whether a mobile relay is approaching or leaving a candidate handover DeNB. By incorporating the movement status into a report sent to the serving DeNB, the serving DeNB would require less time to make handover decisions since the reporting interval could be reduced to one interval, and the time to trigger would not be required. The movement status could be determined based on the propagation time of signals, a list of neighbor cell information, or the Doppler effect.

  • Publication number: 20130242866
    Abstract: A method for device to device communication, a control node using the same, and a user equipment using the same has been proposed. For the proposed method, a control node first establishes with a caller device a connection during which an ID of the callee and an establishment cause indicating caller is transmitted to the control node. A control node then informs the call to a callee device by establishing with the callee device a connection during which a D2D ID of the callee and an establishment cause indicating callee is transmitted to the control node. When the control node finds a caller device linked with a caller establishment cause and a D2D ID of the callee, the control node automatically trigger D2D communication between the caller device and the callee device.
