Abstract:
A method, user equipment and a base station for handover in device-to-device communication are disclosed. To maintain continuity of the ongoing device-to-device communication after the handover, an enhanced reporting mechanism is introduced such that the user equipment with the ongoing device-to-device communication would be handed over to a cell of a neighbor base station that supports the device-to-device communication. In this manner, the device-to-device communication continuity may be maintained.

Claim (Index 16):
User equipment, comprising:\n a transmitter and a receiver, at least one processor coupled to the transmitter and receiver, the at least one processor comprising memory including at least on program that, when executed, causes the at least one processor to control the user equipment to: receive, at the receiver, a request for a device-to-device support status report from a serving base station, wherein the device-to-device support status report indicates support status of each of one or more cells of at least one neighbor base station of the serving base station with respect to a device-to-device communication associated with the user equipment; and, transmit, from the transmitter, the device-to-device support status to the serving base station in response to the request.
