receiving, by a User Equipment (UE), a D2D indication, broadcasted by a D2D control node;
sending, by the UE in response to receiving the D2D indication, a message containing D2D resource configuration request information to the D2D control node, wherein the D2D resource configuration request information comprises a D2D communication group identifier;
receiving, by the UE, first D2D resource configuration information sent by the D2D control node to configure at least one resource allocation mode from a plurality of resource allocation modes for the UE, in response to the D2D resource configuration request information comprising the D2D communication group identifier, wherein the first D2D resource configuration information comprises D2D setup information corresponding to the at least one resource allocation mode;
configuring, by the UE, D2D resources according to the at least one resource allocation mode of the D2D setup information in the first D2D resource configuration information;
sending, by the UE, a message containing D2D resource release request information to the D2D control node;
receiving, by the UE, second D2D resource configuration information sent by the D2D control node, wherein the second D2D resource configuration information comprises D2D release information corresponding to the at least one resource allocation mode; and
