Claim 0:
1. An electronic device configured to operate as a base station in a wireless communication network, comprising:
a transceiver configured to communicate with a first user equipment; and
a processing circuitry configured to:
control the first user equipment to perform a sidelink communication with a second user equipment if a condition for performing the sidelink communication by the first user equipment with the second user equipment is satisfied,
wherein the processing circuitry is configured to control the first user equipment to perform the sidelink communication with the second user equipment by:
transmitting, to the first user equipment, first indication information that identifies an acquisition manner of transmission resource,
wherein the first indication information is included in a radio resource control (RRC) signaling and comprises one of a first configuration information or a second configuration information,
wherein the first configuration information identifies that the acquisition manner is a base station scheduled manner where the transmission resource is scheduled by the base station to the first user equipment dynamically or semi-persistently,
wherein the second configuration information identifies that the acquisition manner is a user equipment selected manner where the first user equipment selects the transmission resource from a configured resource pool or a resource pool list; and
configuring, to the first user equipment, information identifying the configured resource pool or the resource pool list via the RRC signaling or a system information block (SIB), if the second configuration information is configured.
