Claim Text:
1. A device-to-device (D2D) communication method, comprising: determining, by a D2D transmitter, a second time slot for transmitting D2D data according to a first time slot for transmitting D2D signaling to a D2D receiver and a synchronous transmission relationship between the D2D signaling and the D2D data, wherein the second time slot is after the first time slot: determining, by the D2D transmitter, a third time slot for transmitting uplink control information in cellular communication according to the second time slot, wherein the uplink control information is used for indicating an uplink radio resource in the second time slot of a cellular user equipment (UE), and the third time slot is before the second time slot; demodulating, by the D2D transmitter, the uplink control information in the third time slot to acquire the uplink radio resource in the second time slot of the cellular UE; and multiplexing, by the D2D transmitter, the uplink radio resource in the second time slot of the cellular UE to perform D2D communication with the D2D receiver; wherein the multiplexing the uplink radio resource in the second time slot of the cellular UE comprises: selecting a first cellular UE, from a plurality of cellular UEs, causing minimal interference to the D2D transmitter: and multiplexing the uplink radio resource in the second time slot of the first cellular UE.
