  • Publication number: 20220045830
    Abstract: A user apparatus includes: a receiver configured to perform predetermined measurement for a resource set in direct communication between terminals, the resource set having a likelihood of being used by another group to which the user apparatus does not belong; a control unit configured to determine, based on a result of the predetermined measurement, whether an effect from said another group having a likelihood of using the resource set is acceptable; and a transmitter configured to use the resource set to perform transmission to another user apparatus when a determination is made that the effect from said another group that uses the resource set is acceptable.

  • Publication number: 20200195317
    Abstract: Disclosed is a user apparatus for use in a radio communication system that supports a D2D communication. The user apparatus includes a setting information storage unit configured to store a plurality of precoding matrices; and a signal transmission unit configured to precode a D2D signal and transmit the precoded D2D signal while switching a precoding matrix among the plurality of precoding matrices in a time domain, in a predetermined time interval including a plurality of unit time intervals. The signal transmission unit maps a reference signal precoded by a same precoding matrix to at least two unit time intervals in the predetermined time interval.
