What is D2D?

Direct Communication Between Nearby Mobiles.


How To Get Proximity Awareness?


Discovery And Broadcast

Classifiation of D2D Communication

• Licensed Band: Better interference avoidance under a controlledenvironment. Ex. Femtocells / Picocells Under LTE-Alicensed band


Current Progress in D2D Communication

• June 2011: Study item description on the radio aspect of D2Ddescovery and Communication by Qualcomm

• Augest 2011: Direct over-the-air LTE D2D discovery andCommunication

• June 2012: Identified potential requirements between proximate devicesas new step on Rel-12

• December 2012: Study on LTE Proximity Service in radio AccessNetwork ( D2D Discovery - D2D Communication )

• Current Work On: Discovery Signal design, Resource Allocation andScheduling, Synchronization mechanism.


D2D Function Block in LTE-A SAE Architecture

• ProSe: Proximity Discovery - Direct Communication• D2D Sessions: D2D session Could be initiated by sending an initiation

request to the Proximity Server in MME.• Radio Bearer Setup (Ud): MME is responsible for initiating Ud

interface.


D2D Function Block in LTE-A SAE Architecture Cont’n

• Radio Bearer Setup (Ud): MME is responsible for initiating Udinterface + Delivery IP address for D2D terminal devices.


Protocol Stock and Bearer Management

• Data Protocol Stock for D2D: D2D bearer has been set up betweenpeer devices.


D2D Design Aspect

• Modulation Format: LTE use SC-FDMA for UL and OFDMA in DL. IfSC-FDMA is used, the D2D UE needs to be equipped with anew SC-FDMA receiver.

• Frame Structure: Camping D2D on UL resources


D2D Design Aspect Cont’n

• Channel Measurements: Based on measurement reports


LTE-A Access, Core and Protocol Architecture for D2D

• D2D Communication Scenarios Direct Communication


D2D Ennhanced LTE Architecture

• New Interfaces PC1, PC2, PC3, PC4, PC5, PC6 and SGi


Security Architecture for D2D

• Main Security Feature:


D2D Connection Request


Handover Technologies

• Hard Handover break-before-make• Soft Handover make-before-break• handover procedure: measurements control, the measurements report,

handover decision, handover execution


Handover Process ( handover Decision )

Handover process may betriggered by:

1 Quality, filed strength ofDistance Values fallbellow/exceed theirthreshold

2 Periodic Check : PowerBudget HO, Umbrella HO


Handover Priority

• Handover Priority

1 Uplink and downlink Interference

2 Uplink Quality

3 Downlink Quality

4 Uplink Level

5 Downlink Level

6 Distance

7 Rapid Field Drop

8 Slow moving UE

9 Better Cell, i.e Periodic Check ( power Budget HO or Umbrella HO


Target Cell Selection


Handover in LTE-A

• Hard Handover High handover outage probability, Large Delay.

• Aspect on D2D To Provide Steamless access to Voice and Multimediaservice with Strict delay in D2D

• Solution 1. Semi-Soft-Handover 2. Handover Using D2DCommunication


Backhauling X2

• X2 The LTE Radio Access Network moves RNC functionality rothe eNodeB and introduced a new X2


LTE X2 Handover High Level Flow


LTE X2 Handover High Level Flow Cont’n


Proposed LTE D2D Handover

• Proposed: Handover During D2D Communication via Ud


Proposed LTE D2D Handover High Level Flow
