Abstract

Disclosed is a method by which a terminal sets a resource pool for device-to-device communication in a wireless communication system. Particularly, the method comprises the steps of: acquiring information on a scheduling assignment (SA) resource pool through a synchronization step with a specific terminal; detecting a resource allocation SA in the SA resource pool; receiving a first D2D data channel including a resource pool allocation message on the basis of the resource allocation SA; and setting a resource pool for a second D2D data channel including user data and/or a resource pool for a discovery signal, according to the resource pool allocation message.

Claims

1. A method for use in device-to-device (D2D) communication in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving first information on a first resource pool;

receiving a resource allocation information within the first resource pool;

receiving second information on a second resource pool for D2D data or a discovery signal based on the resource allocation information; and

configuring the second resource pool for the D2D data or the discovery signal based on the second information.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the receiving the first information on the first resource pool comprises receiving a synchronization channel containing a synchronization signal and additional information for the synchronization signal, and

wherein the first information on the first resource pool is contained in the synchronization channel.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the first resource pool is located at a subframe apart from a subframe, in which the synchronization signal and the synchronization channel are received, by a predetermined offset.

4. The method of claim 1, the method further comprising:

transmitting the discovery signal by randomly selecting at least one or more resource units in the second resource pool.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the receiving the first information on the first resource pool comprises receiving a synchronization signal, and

wherein the first resource pool is located at a subframe apart from a subframe, in which the synchronization signal is received, by a predetermined offset.

6. A user equipment (UE) for device-to-device (D2D) communication in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transmitter;

a receiver; and

a processor, operably coupled with the transmitter and the receiver,

wherein the processor is configured to;

receive, via the receiver, first information on a first resource pool,

receive, via the receiver, a resource allocation information within the first resource pool,

receive, via the receiver, second information in a second resource pool for D2D data or a discovery signal based on the resource allocation information, and

configure the second resource pool for the D2D data or the discovery signal based on the second information.

7. The UE of claim 6, wherein the processor is further configured to control the receiver to receive a synchronization channel containing a synchronization signal and additional information for the synchronization signal, and

wherein the first information on the first resource pool is contained in the synchronization channel.

8. The UE of claim 7, wherein the first resource pool is located at a subframe apart from a subframe, in which the synchronization signal and the synchronization channel are received, by a predetermined offset.

9. The UE of claim 6, wherein the processor is further configured to control the transmitter to transmit the discovery signal by randomly selecting at least one or more resource units in the second resource pool.

10. The UE of claim 6, wherein the processor is further configured to control the receiver to receive the first information on the first resource pool comprises receiving a synchronization signal, and

wherein the first resource pool is located at a subframe apart from a subframe, in which the synchronization signal is received, by a predetermined offset.
