TECHNICAL FIELDEmbodiments of the present invention relate to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a resource configuration method and an apparatus.
BACKGROUNDA proximity service (ProSe) refers to a service manner in which user equipments (UE) that are near each other transfer information to each other. The ProSe generally includes two processes: ProSe discovery and ProSe communication. The ProSe discovery refers to a process in which an adjacent UE is identified, and the ProSe communication refers to a process in which UEs that are near each other perform communication. The ProSe communication may be specifically classified into unicast communication, multicast communication, and the like. A ProSe may be described as a peer to peer (P2P) service, a device to device (D2D) service, or the like. In a ProSe system, there is a shorter distance and a shorter signal propagation path between a UE sending a ProSe signal (which includes a ProSe discovery signal and a ProSe communication signal) and a UE receiving the ProSe signal, and less signal fading occurs; therefore, communication between the UEs can be directly performed, that is, service data or a signal does not need to be forwarded by a base station. In this case, transmit power of a ProSe signal sent by the UE is generally less, which can therefore achieve an objective of saving power and reducing interference.
In the ProSe system, the UE sending a ProSe signal needs to determine a resource used to send a D2D service, and the UE receiving a ProSe signal needs to determine a resource used to receive a D2D service. In the prior art, a resource used to send a D2D service/receive a D2D service is selected from a pre-configured resource pool, and a UE can acquire the pre-configured resource pool only when the UE is in a connection state. Some UEs may have no requirement to communicate with a base station, and these UEs may enter an idle state. However, a UE in an idle state still has a requirement of receiving or sending a D2D service. How to configure a resource pool for a UE in an idle state is a problem to be resolved.
SUMMARYEmbodiments of the present invention provide a resource configuration method and an apparatus, which can resolve a problem of configuration of a resource pool for a UE in an idle state, so that the UE in the idle state can acquire a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool without connecting to a control node, thereby reducing power consumption of the UE.

According to the resource configuration method and the apparatus provided in the embodiments of the present invention, a resource pool is configured for a UE by using a broadcast message of a control node, and the UE receives a D2D service or sends a D2D service by using a resource in the resource pool, which can resolve a problem of configuration of a resource pool for a UE in an idle state. In this way, the UE in the idle state can acquire a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool without connecting to the control node, which not only can reduce power consumption of the UE but also can reduce load on a to-be-connected base station.
To describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention more clearly, the following briefly introduces the accompanying drawings required for describing the embodiments. Apparently, the accompanying drawings in the following description show some embodiments of the present invention, and persons of ordinary skill in the art may still derive other drawings from these accompanying drawings without creative efforts.
To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the following clearly describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Apparently, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Specifically, the control node configures, by using a broadcast message, at least one first resource pool for a UE served by the control node or a potential UE that is not yet connected to a system, where the first resource pool includes a sending resource pool and/or a receiving resource pool. The receiving, by the processing module 12, a D2D service or sending a D2D service by using a resource in the at least one first resource pool is specifically: sending, by the processing module 12, the D2D service by using the sending resource pool included in the at least one first resource pool, and receiving the D2D service by using the receiving resource pool included in the at least one first resource pool.
According to the user equipment provided in this embodiment, a resource pool is configured for the UE by using a broadcast message of a control node, and the UE receives a D2D service or sends a D2D service by using a resource in the resource pool, which can resolve a problem of configuration of a resource pool for a UE in an idle state (RRC-idle). In this way, the UE in the idle state can acquire a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool without connecting to the control node, which not only can reduce power consumption of the UE but also can reduce load on a to-be-connected base station.
Further, sending of a D2D service by the UE generally needs to be controlled by the control node, and therefore, the UE sending the D2D service needs to be connected to the control node. The UE connected to the control node may receive a UE-specific (UE-specific) message, for example, radio resource control (RRC) signaling, physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) signaling, and enhanced physical downlink control channel (ePDCCH) signaling. After the UE in the idle state (for example, RRC-idle) is connected to the control node and enter a connected state (for example, RRC-connected), the control node may further configure at least one resource pool for the UE by using a UE-specific message. In this case, the receiving module 11 is further configured to: receive a dedicated message sent by the control node and including at least one second sub-resource pool.
The processing module 12 is further configured to receive a D2D service or send a D2D service by using a resource in the at least one first resource pool or the at least one second sub-resource pool.
The second resource pool includes a sending resource pool and/or a receiving resource pool, and the receiving, by the processing module 12, a D2D service or sending a D2D service by using a resource in the at least one first resource pool or the at least one second sub-resource pool is specifically: sending, by the processing module 12, the D2D service by using the sending resource pool included in the at least one first resource pool or the at least one second sub-resource pool, and receiving the D2D service by using the receiving resource pool included in the at least one first resource pool or the at least one second sub-resource pool.
A UE that sends a D2D service can be scheduled and controlled more accurately and flexibly by using a UE-specific message to configure a sending resource pool.
In the foregoing embodiment, further, a method used by the UE to send the D2D service by using a resource in a sending resource pool or used by the UE to receive the D2D service by using a resource in a receiving resource pool may include at least one of the following:
1. The UE uses all resources in a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool.
2. The control node allocates a resource in a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool to the UE by using dedicated signaling.
3. The UE contends to use a resource in a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool. Further, if the UE cannot obtain by means of contention a resource in a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool for a long time, another resource pool is allocated to the UE. Specifically, after the UE obtains a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool, if the UE cannot obtain by means of contention a resource in the obtained sending resource pool or receiving resource pool within time T, the UE sends a contention failure indication message or sends a resource pool reallocation request to the control node, and the control node performs rescheduling to allocate another resource pool to the UE. Specifically, the reallocated resource pool is different from a former resource pool. The foregoing time T is pre-configured or pre-defined, or is configured by the control node.
In the foregoing embodiment, the sending resource pool includes a sending resource pool of at least one cell or at least one proximity service group, and the receiving resource pool includes a receiving resource pool of at least one cell or at least one proximity service group. Configuring a sending resource pool of at least one cell or at least one ProSe group can enable a D2D service sent by the UE to be received by a UE in another cell or ProSe group, and configuring a receiving resource pool of at least one cell or at least one ProSe group can enable the UE to receive a D2D service sent by a UE in another cell or ProSe group.
Further, control nodes of different cells or different proximity service groups need to exchange sending resource pools and/or receiving resource pools with each other, so that the control nodes of different cells or different ProSe groups determine at least one sending resource pool and/or at least one receiving resource pool that needs to be sent, thereby implementing coordination of resource pools among different cells or different ProSe groups.
Further, a receiving resource pool and a sending resource pool of a same cell or a same proximity service group have an intersection set, so that UEs in a same cell or ProSe group can send a D2D service to or receive a D2D service from each other.
For a relationship between a quantity of resources included in a receiving resource pool and a quantity of resources included in a sending resource pool, where the receiving resource pool and the sending resource pool are allocated to a same UE, the following two cases exist:
1. The quantity of resources included in the receiving resource pool is greater than or equal to the quantity of resources included in the sending resource pool, where the receiving resource pool and the sending resource pool are allocated to the same UE.
For example, there are three different ProSe groups, and each group includes several service-sending UEs and service-receiving UEs. The three ProSe groups have an overlap area, and there are several service-receiving UEs and service-sending UEs in the overlap area. A control node allocates different sending resource pools to the service-sending UEs in the different ProSe groups, thereby avoiding mutual interference among D2D services sent by the service-sending UEs in the different groups. If there are several service-receiving UEs in the overlap area, these UEs may need to receive D2D services sent by service-sending UEs in multiple ProSe groups. Therefore, a quantity of receiving resource pools configured for these service-receiving UEs needs to be greater than a quantity of sending resource pools of the service-sending UEs.
2. The quantity of resources included in the receiving resource pool is less than or equal to the quantity of resources included in the sending resource pool, where the receiving resource pool and the sending resource pool are allocated to the same UE.
For example, the control node allocates different receiving resource pools to the service-receiving UEs in the different ProSe groups. If there are several service-sending UEs in the overlap area, these UEs may need to send D2D services to service-receiving UEs in multiple ProSe groups, and therefore, a quantity of sending resource pools that need to be configured for these service-sending UEs needs to be greater than a quantity of receiving resource pools of the service-receiving UEs. In this case, fewer receiving resource pools are configured for the service-receiving UEs, thereby reducing receiving complexity of the service-receiving UEs.
The first resource pool includes a sending resource pool and/or a receiving resource pool, so that the UE sends the D2D service by using the sending resource pool included in the at least one first resource pool and receives the D2D service by using the receiving resource pool included in the at least one first resource pool.
According to the control node provided in this embodiment, a resource pool is configured for a UE by using a broadcast message of the control node, and the UE receives a D2D service or sends a D2D service by using a resource in the resource pool, which can resolve a problem of configuration of a resource pool for a UE in an idle state (RRC-idle). In this way, the UE in the idle state can acquire a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool without connecting to a control node, which not only can reduce power consumption of the UE but also can reduce load on a to-be-connected base station.
Further, the sending module 22 is further configured to: send a dedicated message including at least one second sub-resource pool to the UE, where the dedicated message is, for example, RRC signaling, PDCCH signaling, and ePDCCH signaling, so that the UE receives a D2D service or sends a D2D service by using a resource in the at least one first resource pool or the at least one second sub-resource pool.
The second resource pool includes a sending resource pool and/or a receiving resource pool, so that the UE sends the D2D service by using the sending resource pool included in the at least one first resource pool or the at least one second sub-resource pool and receives the D2D service by using the receiving resource pool included in the at least one first resource pool or the at least one second sub-resource pool.
A UE that sends a D2D service can be scheduled and controlled more accurately and flexibly by using a UE-specific message to configure a sending resource pool.
In the foregoing embodiment, further, a method used by the UE to send the D2D service by using a resource in a sending resource pool or used by the UE to receive the D2D service by using a resource in a receiving resource pool may include at least one of the following:
1. The UE uses all resources in a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool.
2. The control node allocates a resource in a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool to the UE by using dedicated signaling.
3. The UE contends to use a resource in a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool. Further, if the UE cannot obtain by means of contention a resource in a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool for a long time, another resource pool is allocated to the UE. Specifically, after the UE obtains a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool, if the UE cannot obtain by means of contention a resource in the obtained sending resource pool or receiving resource pool within time T, the UE sends a contention failure indication message or sends a resource pool reallocation request to the control node, and the control node performs rescheduling to allocate another resource pool to the UE. Specifically, the reallocated resource pool is different from a former resource pool. The foregoing time T is pre-configured or pre-defined, or is configured by the control node.
In the foregoing embodiment, the sending resource pool includes a sending resource pool of at least one cell or at least one proximity service group, and the receiving resource pool includes a receiving resource pool of at least one cell or at least one proximity service group. Configuring a sending resource pool of at least one cell or at least one ProSe group can enable a D2D service sent by the UE to be received by a UE in another cell or ProSe group, and configuring a receiving resource pool of at least one cell or at least one ProSe group can enable the UE to receive a D2D service sent by a UE in another cell or ProSe group.
Further, control nodes of different cells or different proximity service groups need to exchange sending resource pools and/or receiving resource pools with each other, so that the control nodes of different cells or different ProSe groups determine at least one sending resource pool and/or at least one receiving resource pool that needs to be sent, thereby implementing coordination of resource pools among different cells or different ProSe groups.
Further, a receiving resource pool and a sending resource pool of a same cell or a same proximity service group have an intersection set, so that UEs in a same cell or ProSe group can send a D2D service to or receive a D2D service from each other.
For a relationship between a quantity of resources included in a receiving resource pool and a quantity of resources included in a sending resource pool, where the receiving resource pool and the sending resource pool are allocated to a same UE, the following two cases exist:
1. The quantity of resources included in the receiving resource pool is greater than or equal to the quantity of resources included in the sending resource pool, where the receiving resource pool and the sending resource pool are allocated to the same UE.
For example, there are three different ProSe groups, and each group includes several service-sending UEs and service-receiving UEs. The three ProSe groups have an overlap area, and there are several service-receiving UEs and service-sending UEs in the overlap area. A control node allocates different sending resource pools to the service-sending UEs in the different ProSe groups, thereby avoiding mutual interference among D2D services sent by the service-sending UEs in the different groups. If there are several service-receiving UEs in the overlap area, these UEs may need to receive D2D services sent by service-sending UEs in multiple ProSe groups. Therefore, a quantity of receiving resource pools configured for these service-receiving UEs needs to be greater than a quantity of sending resource pools of the service-sending UEs.
2. The quantity of resources included in the receiving resource pool is less than or equal to the quantity of resources included in the sending resource pool, where the receiving resource pool and the sending resource pool are allocated to the same UE.
For example, the control node allocates different receiving resource pools to the service-receiving UEs in the different ProSe groups. If there are several service-sending UEs in the overlap area, these UEs may need to send D2D services to service-receiving UEs in multiple ProSe groups, and therefore, a quantity of sending resource pools that need to be configured for these service-sending UEs needs to be greater than a quantity of receiving resource pools of the service-receiving UEs. In this case, fewer receiving resource pools are configured for the service-receiving UEs, thereby reducing receiving complexity of the service-receiving UEs.
Specifically, the control node configures, by using a broadcast message, at least one first resource pool for a UE served by the control node or a potential UE that is not yet connected to a system, where the first resource pool includes a sending resource pool and/or a receiving resource pool. The receiving, by the processor 32, a D2D service or sending a D2D service by using a resource in the at least one first resource pool is specifically: sending, by the processor 32, the D2D service by using the sending resource pool included in the at least one first resource pool, and receiving the D2D service by using the receiving resource pool included in the at least one first resource pool.
According to the user equipment provided in this embodiment, a resource pool is configured for the UE by using a broadcast message of a control node, and the UE receives a D2D service or sends a D2D service by using a resource in the resource pool, which can resolve a problem of configuration of a resource pool for a UE in an idle state (RRC-idle). In this way, the UE in the idle state can acquire a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool without connecting to the control node, which not only can reduce power consumption of the UE but also can reduce load on a to-be-connected base station.
Further, sending of a D2D service by the UE generally needs to be controlled by the control node, and therefore, the UE sending the D2D service needs to be connected to the control node. The UE connected to the control node may receive a UE-specific (UE-specific) message, for example, RRC signaling, PDCCH signaling, and ePDCCH signaling. After the UE in the idle state (for example, RRC-idle) is connected to the control node and enter a connected state (for example, RRC-connected), the control node may further configure at least one resource pool for the UE by using a UE-specific message. In this case, the receiver 31 is further configured to: receive a dedicated message sent by the control node and including at least one second sub-resource pool.
The processor 32 is further configured to receive a D2D service or send a D2D service by using a resource in the at least one first resource pool or the at least one second sub-resource pool.
The second resource pool includes a sending resource pool and/or a receiving resource pool, and the receiving, by the processor 32, a D2D service or sending a D2D service by using a resource in the at least one first resource pool or the at least one second sub-resource pool is specifically: sending, by the processor 32, the D2D service by using the sending resource pool included in the at least one first resource pool or the at least one second sub-resource pool, and receiving the D2D service by using the receiving resource pool included in the at least one first resource pool or the at least one second sub-resource pool.
A UE that sends a D2D service can be scheduled and controlled more accurately and flexibly by using a UE-specific message to configure a sending resource pool.
In the foregoing embodiment, further, a method used by the UE to send the D2D service by using a resource in a sending resource pool or used by the UE to receive the D2D service by using a resource in a receiving resource pool may include at least one of the following:
1. The UE uses all resources in a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool.
2. The control node allocates a resource in a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool to the UE by using dedicated signaling.
3. The UE contends to use a resource in a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool. Further, if the UE cannot obtain by means of contention a resource in a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool for a long time, another resource pool is allocated to the UE. Specifically, after the UE obtains a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool, if the UE cannot obtain by means of contention a resource in the obtained sending resource pool or receiving resource pool within time T, the UE sends a contention failure indication message or sends a resource pool reallocation request to the control node, and the control node performs rescheduling to allocate another resource pool to the UE. Specifically, the reallocated resource pool is different from a former resource pool. The foregoing time T is pre-configured or pre-defined, or is configured by the control node.
In the foregoing embodiment, the sending resource pool includes a sending resource pool of at least one cell or at least one proximity service group, and the receiving resource pool includes a receiving resource pool of at least one cell or at least one proximity service group. Configuring a sending resource pool of at least one cell or at least one ProSe group can enable a D2D service sent by the UE to be received by a UE in another cell or ProSe group, and configuring a receiving resource pool of at least one cell or at least one ProSe group can enable the UE to receive a D2D service sent by a UE in another cell or ProSe group.
Further, control nodes of different cells or different proximity service groups need to exchange sending resource pools and/or receiving resource pools with each other, so that the control nodes of different cells or different ProSe groups determine at least one sending resource pool and/or at least one receiving resource pool that needs to be sent, thereby implementing coordination of resource pools among different cells or different ProSe groups.
Further, a receiving resource pool and a sending resource pool of a same cell or a same proximity service group have an intersection set, so that UEs in a same cell or ProSe group can send a D2D service to or receive a D2D service from each other.
For a relationship between a quantity of resources included in a receiving resource pool and a quantity of resources included in a sending resource pool, where the receiving resource pool and the sending resource pool are allocated to a same UE, the following two cases exist:
1. The quantity of resources included in the receiving resource pool is greater than or equal to the quantity of resources included in the sending resource pool, where the receiving resource pool and the sending resource pool are allocated to the same UE.
For example, there are three different ProSe groups, and each group includes several service-sending UEs and service-receiving UEs. The three ProSe groups have an overlap area, and there are several service-receiving UEs and service-sending UEs in the overlap area. A control node allocates different sending resource pools to the service-sending UEs in the different ProSe groups, thereby avoiding mutual interference among D2D services sent by the service-sending UEs in the different groups. If there are several service-receiving UEs in the overlap area, these UEs may need to receive D2D services sent by service-sending UEs in multiple ProSe groups. Therefore, a quantity of receiving resource pools configured for these service-receiving UEs needs to be greater than a quantity of sending resource pools of the service-sending UEs.
2. The quantity of resources included in the receiving resource pool is less than or equal to the quantity of resources included in the sending resource pool, where the receiving resource pool and the sending resource pool are allocated to the same UE.
For example, the control node allocates different receiving resource pools to the service-receiving UEs in the different ProSe groups. If there are several service-sending UEs in the overlap area, these UEs may need to send D2D services to service-receiving UEs in multiple ProSe groups, and therefore, a quantity of sending resource pools that need to be configured for these service-sending UEs needs to be greater than a quantity of receiving resource pools of the service-receiving UEs. In this case, fewer receiving resource pools are configured for the service-receiving UEs, thereby reducing receiving complexity of the service-receiving UEs.
The first resource pool includes a sending resource pool and/or a receiving resource pool, so that the UE sends the D2D service by using the sending resource pool included in the at least one first resource pool and receives the D2D service by using the receiving resource pool included in the at least one first resource pool.
According to the control node provided in this embodiment, a resource pool is configured for a UE by using a broadcast message of the control node, and the UE receives a D2D service or sends a D2D service by using a resource in the resource pool, which can resolve a problem of configuration of a resource pool for a UE in an idle state (RRC-idle). In this way, the UE in the idle state can acquire a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool without connecting to the control node, which not only can reduce power consumption of the UE but also can reduce load on a to-be-connected base station.
Further, the transmitter 42 is further configured to: send a dedicated message including at least one second sub-resource pool to the UE, where the dedicated message is, for example, RRC signaling, PDCCH signaling, and ePDCCH signaling, so that the UE receives a D2D service or sends a D2D service by using a resource in the at least one first resource pool or the at least one second sub-resource pool.
The second resource pool includes a sending resource pool and/or a receiving resource pool, so that the UE sends the D2D service by using the sending resource pool included in the at least one first resource pool or the at least one second sub-resource pool and receives the D2D service by using the receiving resource pool included in the at least one first resource pool or the at least one second sub-resource pool.
A UE that sends a D2D service can be scheduled and controlled more accurately and flexibly by using a UE-specific message to configure a sending resource pool.
In the foregoing embodiment, further, a method used by the UE to send the D2D service by using a resource in a sending resource pool or used by the UE to receive the D2D service by using a resource in a receiving resource pool may include at least one of the following:
1. The UE uses all resources in a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool.
2. The control node allocates a resource in a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool to the UE by using dedicated signaling.
3. The UE contends to use a resource in a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool. Further, if the UE cannot obtain by means of contention a resource in a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool for a long time, another resource pool is allocated to the UE. Specifically, after the UE obtains a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool, if the UE cannot obtain by means of contention a resource in the obtained sending resource pool or receiving resource pool within time T, the UE sends a contention failure indication message or sends a resource pool reallocation request to the control node, and the control node performs rescheduling to allocate another resource pool to the UE. Specifically, the reallocated resource pool is different from a former resource pool. The foregoing time T is pre-configured or pre-defined, or is configured by the control node.
In the foregoing embodiment, the sending resource pool includes a sending resource pool of at least one cell or at least one proximity service group, and the receiving resource pool includes a receiving resource pool of at least one cell or at least one proximity service group. Configuring a sending resource pool of at least one cell or at least one ProSe group can enable a D2D service sent by the UE to be received by a UE in another cell or ProSe group, and configuring a receiving resource pool of at least one cell or at least one ProSe group can enable the UE to receive a D2D service sent by a UE in another cell or ProSe group.
Further, control nodes of different cells or different proximity service groups need to exchange sending resource pools and/or receiving resource pools with each other, so that the control nodes of different cells or different ProSe groups determine at least one sending resource pool and/or at least one receiving resource pool that needs to be sent, thereby implementing coordination of resource pools among different cells or different ProSe groups.
Further, a receiving resource pool and a sending resource pool of a same cell or a same proximity service group have an intersection set, so that UEs in a same cell or ProSe group can send a D2D service to or receive a D2D service from each other.
For a relationship between a quantity of resources included in a receiving resource pool and a quantity of resources included in a sending resource pool, where the receiving resource pool and the sending resource pool are allocated to a same UE, the following two cases exist:
1. The quantity of resources included in the receiving resource pool is greater than or equal to the quantity of resources included in the sending resource pool, where the receiving resource pool and the sending resource pool are allocated to the same UE.
For example, there are three different ProSe groups, and each group includes several service-sending UEs and service-receiving UEs. The three ProSe groups have an overlap area, and there are several service-receiving UEs and service-sending UEs in the overlap area. A control node allocates different sending resource pools to the service-sending UEs in the different ProSe groups, thereby avoiding mutual interference among D2D services sent by the service-sending UEs in the different groups. If there are several service-receiving UEs in the overlap area, these UEs may need to receive D2D services sent by service-sending UEs in multiple ProSe groups. Therefore, a quantity of receiving resource pools configured for these service-receiving UEs needs to be greater than a quantity of sending resource pools of the service-sending UEs.
2. The quantity of resources included in the receiving resource pool is less than or equal to the quantity of resources included in the sending resource pool, where the receiving resource pool and the sending resource pool are allocated to the same UE.
For example, the control node allocates different receiving resource pools to the service-receiving UEs in the different ProSe groups. If there are several service-sending UEs in the overlap area, these UEs may need to send D2D services to service-receiving UEs in multiple ProSe groups, and therefore, a quantity of sending resource pools that need to be configured for these service-sending UEs needs to be greater than a quantity of receiving resource pools of the service-receiving UEs. In this case, fewer receiving resource pools are configured for the service-receiving UEs, thereby reducing receiving complexity of the service-receiving UEs.
S101: A UE receives a broadcast message sent by a control node and including at least one first resource pool, where the control node is a base station serving the UE or a group head UE of a group to which the UE belongs.
S102: The UE receives a D2D service or sends a D2D service by using a resource in the at least one first resource pool.
Specifically, the control node configures, by using a broadcast message, at least one first resource pool for a UE served by the control node or a potential UE that is not yet connected to a system, where the first resource pool includes a sending resource pool and/or a receiving resource pool, and S102 is specifically: sending, by the UE, the D2D service by using the sending resource pool included in the at least one first resource pool, and receiving the D2D service by using the receiving resource pool included in the at least one first resource pool.
According to the resource configuration method provided in this embodiment, a resource pool is configured for a UE by using a broadcast message of a control node, and the UE receives a D2D service or sends a D2D service by using a resource in the resource pool, which can resolve a problem of configuration of a resource pool for a UE in an idle state (RRC-idle). In this way, the UE in the idle state can acquire a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool without connecting to the control node, which not only can reduce power consumption of the UE but also can reduce load on a to-be-connected base station.
Further, sending of a D2D service by the UE generally needs to be controlled by the control node, and therefore, the UE sending the D2D service needs to be connected to the control node. The UE connected to the control node may receive a UE-specific (UE-specific) message, for example, RRC signaling, PDCCH signaling, and ePDCCH signaling. After the UE in the idle state (for example, RRC-idle) is connected to the control node and enter a connected state (for example, RRC-connected), the control node may further configure at least one resource pool for the UE by using a UE-specific message. In this case, the method in this embodiment further includes:
S103: The UE receives a dedicated message sent by the control node and including at least one second sub-resource pool.
S104: The UE receives a D2D service or sends a D2D service by using a resource in the at least one first resource pool or the at least one second sub-resource pool.
The second resource pool also includes a sending resource pool and/or a receiving resource pool, and S104 is specifically: sending, by the UE, the D2D service by using the sending resource pool included in the at least one first resource pool or the at least one second sub-resource pool, and receiving, by the UE, the D2D service by using the receiving resource pool included in the at least one first resource pool or the at least one second sub-resource pool.
A UE that sends a D2D service can be scheduled and controlled more accurately and flexibly by using a UE-specific message to configure a sending resource pool.
In the foregoing embodiment, further, a method used by the UE to send the D2D service by using a resource in a sending resource pool or used by the UE to receive the D2D service by using a resource in a receiving resource pool may include at least one of the following:
1. The UE uses all resources in a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool.
2. The control node allocates a resource in a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool to the UE by using dedicated signaling.
3. The UE contends to use a resource in a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool. Further, if the UE cannot obtain by means of contention a resource in a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool for a long time, another resource pool is allocated to the UE. Specifically, after the UE obtains a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool, if the UE cannot obtain by means of contention a resource in the obtained sending resource pool or receiving resource pool within time T, the UE sends a contention failure indication message or sends a resource pool reallocation request to the control node, and the control node performs rescheduling to allocate another resource pool to the UE. Specifically, the reallocated resource pool is different from a former resource pool. The foregoing time T is pre-configured or pre-defined, or is configured by the control node.
In the foregoing embodiment, the sending resource pool includes a sending resource pool of at least one cell or at least one proximity service group, and the receiving resource pool includes a receiving resource pool of at least one cell or at least one proximity service group. Configuring a sending resource pool of at least one cell or at least one ProSe group can enable a D2D service sent by the UE to be received by a UE in another cell or ProSe group, and configuring a receiving resource pool of at least one cell or at least one ProSe group can enable the UE to receive a D2D service sent by a UE in another cell or ProSe group.
Further, control nodes of different cells or different proximity service groups need to exchange sending resource pools and/or receiving resource pools with each other, so that the control nodes of different cells or different ProSe groups determine at least one sending resource pool and/or at least one receiving resource pool that needs to be sent, thereby implementing coordination of resource pools among different cells or different ProSe groups.
Further, a receiving resource pool and a sending resource pool of a same cell or a same proximity service group have an intersection set, so that UEs in a same cell or ProSe group can send a D2D service to or receive a D2D service from each other.
For a relationship between a quantity of resources included in a receiving resource pool and a quantity of resources included in a sending resource pool, where the receiving resource pool and the sending resource pool are allocated to a same UE, the following two cases exist:
1. The quantity of resources included in the receiving resource pool is greater than or equal to the quantity of resources included in the sending resource pool, where the receiving resource pool and the sending resource pool are allocated to the same UE.
For example, there are three different ProSe groups, and each group includes several service-sending UEs and service-receiving UEs. The three ProSe groups have an overlap area, and there are several service-receiving UEs and service-sending UEs in the overlap area. A control node allocates different sending resource pools to the service-sending UEs in the different ProSe groups, thereby avoiding mutual interference among D2D services sent by the service-sending UEs in the different groups. If there are several service-receiving UEs in the overlap area, these UEs may need to receive D2D services sent by service-sending UEs in multiple ProSe groups. Therefore, a quantity of receiving resource pools configured for these service-receiving UEs needs to be greater than a quantity of sending resource pools of the service-sending UEs.
2. The quantity of resources included in the receiving resource pool is less than or equal to the quantity of resources included in the sending resource pool, where the receiving resource pool and the sending resource pool are allocated to the same UE.
For example, the control node allocates different receiving resource pools to the service-receiving UEs in the different ProSe groups. If there are several service-sending UEs in the overlap area, these UEs may need to send D2D services to service-receiving UEs in multiple ProSe groups, and therefore, a quantity of sending resource pools that need to be configured for these service-sending UEs needs to be greater than a quantity of receiving resource pools of the service-receiving UEs. In this case, fewer receiving resource pools are configured for the service-receiving UEs, thereby reducing receiving complexity of the service-receiving UEs.
S201: A control node sends a broadcast message including at least one first resource pool, so that a UE that receives the broadcast message receives a device to device D2D service or sends a D2D service by using a resource in the at least one first resource pool, where the control node is a base station serving the UE or a group head UE of a group to which the UE belongs.
Specifically, the control node configures, by using a broadcast message, at least one first resource pool for a UE served by the control node or a potential UE that is not yet connected to a system. The first resource pool includes a sending resource pool and/or a receiving resource pool, so that the UE sends a D2D service by using the sending resource pool included in the at least one first resource pool and receives a D2D service by using the receiving resource pool included in the at least one first resource pool.
According to the resource configuration method provided in this embodiment, a resource pool is configured for a UE by using a broadcast message of a control node, and the UE receives a D2D service or sends a D2D service by using a resource in the resource pool, which can resolve a problem of configuration of a resource pool for a UE in an idle state (RRC-idle). In this way, the UE in the idle state can acquire a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool without connecting to the control node, which not only can reduce power consumption of the UE but also can reduce load on a to-be-connected base station.
Further, a behavior of sending a D2D service by the UE generally needs to be controlled by the control node, and therefore, the UE sending the D2D service needs to be connected to the control node. The UE connected to the control node may receive a UE-specific message, for example, RRC signaling, PDCCH signaling, and ePDCCH signaling. After the UE in the idle state is connected to the control node and enter a connected state, the control node may further configure at least one resource pool for the UE by using a UE-specific message. In this case, the method in this embodiment further includes:
S202: The control node sends a dedicated message including at least one second sub-resource pool to the UE, so that the UE receives a D2D service or sends a D2D service by using a resource in the at least one first resource pool or the at least one second sub-resource pool.
The second resource pool includes a sending resource pool and/or a receiving resource pool, so that the UE sends the D2D service by using the sending resource pool included in the at least one first resource pool or the at least one second sub-resource pool and receives the D2D service by using the receiving resource pool included in the at least one first resource pool or the at least one second sub-resource pool.
A UE that sends a D2D service can be scheduled and controlled more accurately and flexibly by using a UE-specific message to configure a sending resource pool.
In the foregoing embodiment, further, a method used by the UE to send the D2D service by using a resource in a sending resource pool or used by the UE to receive the D2D service by using a resource in a receiving resource pool may include at least one of the following:
1. The UE uses all resources in a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool.
2. The control node allocates a resource in a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool to the UE by using dedicated signaling.
3. The UE contends to use a resource in a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool.

Specifically, after the UE obtains a sending resource pool or a receiving resource pool, if the UE cannot obtain by means of contention a resource in the obtained sending resource pool or receiving resource pool within time T, the UE sends a contention failure indication message or sends a resource pool reallocation request to the control node, and the control node performs rescheduling to allocate another resource pool to the UE. Specifically, the reallocated resource pool is different from a former resource pool. The foregoing time T is pre-configured or pre-defined, or is configured by the control node.
In the foregoing embodiment, the sending resource pool includes a sending resource pool of at least one cell or at least one proximity service group, and the receiving resource pool includes a receiving resource pool of at least one cell or at least one proximity service group. Configuring a sending resource pool of at least one cell or at least one ProSe group can enable a D2D service sent by the UE to be received by a UE in another cell or ProSe group, and configuring a receiving resource pool of at least one cell or at least one ProSe group can enable the UE to receive a D2D service sent by a UE in another cell or ProSe group.
Further, control nodes of different cells or different proximity service groups need to exchange sending resource pools and/or receiving resource pools with each other, so that the control nodes of different cells or different ProSe groups determine at least one sending resource pool and/or at least one receiving resource pool that needs to be sent, thereby implementing coordination of resource pools among different cells or different ProSe groups.
Further, a receiving resource pool and a sending resource pool of a same cell or a same proximity service group have an intersection set, so that UEs in a same cell or ProSe group can send a D2D service to or receive a D2D service from each other.
For a relationship between a quantity of resources included in a receiving resource pool and a quantity of resources included in a sending resource pool, where the receiving resource pool and the sending resource pool are allocated to a same UE, the following two cases exist:
1. The quantity of resources included in the receiving resource pool is greater than or equal to the quantity of resources included in the sending resource pool, where the receiving resource pool and the sending resource pool are allocated to the same UE.
For example, there are three different ProSe groups, and each group includes several service-sending UEs and service-receiving UEs. The three ProSe groups have an overlap area, and there are several service-receiving UEs and service-sending UEs in the overlap area. A control node allocates different sending resource pools to the service-sending UEs in the different ProSe groups, thereby avoiding mutual interference among D2D services sent by the service-sending UEs in the different groups. If there are several service-receiving UEs in the overlap area, these UEs may need to receive D2D services sent by service-sending UEs in multiple ProSe groups. Therefore, a quantity of receiving resource pools configured for these service-receiving UEs needs to be greater than a quantity of sending resource pools of the service-sending UEs.
2. The quantity of resources included in the receiving resource pool is less than or equal to the quantity of resources included in the sending resource pool, where the receiving resource pool and the sending resource pool are allocated to the same UE.
For example, the control node allocates different receiving resource pools to the service-receiving UEs in different ProSe groups. If there are several service-sending UEs in the overlap area, these UEs may need to send D2D services to service-receiving UEs in multiple ProSe groups, and therefore, a quantity of sending resource pools that need to be configured for these service-sending UEs needs to be greater than a quantity of receiving resource pools of the service-receiving UEs. In this case, fewer receiving resource pools are configured for the service-receiving UEs, thereby reducing receiving complexity of the service-receiving UEs.
The following describes the technical solutions in the foregoing method embodiments in detail by using a specific embodiment.
S301: A control node sends a broadcast message including at least one first resource pool, where the control node is a base station serving a UE or a group head UE of a group to which a UE belongs.
The first resource pool includes a sending resource pool and/or a receiving resource pool.

S302: The UE receives the broadcast message sent by the control node and including the at least one first resource pool.
S303: The UE receives a D2D service or sends a D2D service by using a resource in the at least one first resource pool.
Further, sending of a D2D service by the UE generally needs to be controlled by the control node, and therefore, the UE sending the D2D service needs to be connected to the control node. The UE connected to the control node may receive a UE-specific message, for example, RRC signaling, PDCCH signaling, and ePDCCH signaling. After a UE in an idle state is connected to the control node and enter a connected state, the control node may further configure at least one resource pool for the UE by using a UE-specific message. In this case, the method in this embodiment further includes:
S304: The control node sends a dedicated message including at least one second sub-resource pool to the UE.
S305: The UE receives the dedicated message sent by the control node and including the at least one second sub-resource pool.
