Abstract

A method for operating a terminal related to a sidelink used for device-to-device communication in a wireless communication system includes transmitting and receiving control information and/or data through a frame including a subframe to which resource related to the sidelink is allocated, wherein when two continuous subframes overlap, transmission/reception of control information and/or data in a specific subframe among the two subframes is dropped.

Claims

1. A method for performing device-to-device (D2D) communication in a wireless communication system, the method performed by a first terminal comprising:

transceiving a device-to-device (D2D) signal through a first subframe related to the D2D communication with a second terminal;

transmitting a uplink signal through a second subframe related to uplink transmission to a base station; and

dropping the D2D signal in the first subframe if the uplink transmission are occurred on a single component carrier (CC).

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first subframe and the second subframe are continuous to each other.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the first subframe is a subframe having low priority according to a priority rule.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the dropping of the D2D signal is discontinuously transmitting (DTX) in the first subframe.

5. The method of claim 3, wherein the priority rule is a rule for determining priority according to attributes of resource allocated to a subframe or a rule for determining priority according to the order of subframes.

6. The method of claim 3, wherein the priority rule is giving higher priority to a WAN data transmission/reception subframe than to a D2D transmission/reception subframe, giving higher priority to a previously reserved and allocated subframe, giving higher priority to a D2D data subframe than to a D2D discovery subframe, or giving higher priority to a persistent resource allocation subframe than to a dynamic resource allocation subframe.

7. The method of claim 4, wherein the two continuous subframes are a subframe #n and a subframe #n+1, wherein

the method further comprising:

when the subframe #n+1 has priority higher than that of subframe #n, comparing a timing advance (TA) value of the subframe #n+1 and a maximum-available DTX length of the subframe #n.

8. The method of claim 7, further comprising:

when the TA value does not exceed the maximum-available DTX length according to the comparison result, selecting the smallest DTX length among DTX lengths greater than the TA value, among DTX lengths having previously designated sizes; and

performing DTX in the subframe #n by the selected DTX length.

9. The method of claim 7, further comprising:

when the TA value is greater than the maximum-available DTX length according to the comparison result, performing DTX in the entire interval of the subframe #n.

10. The method of claim 8, further comprising:

receiving indication information indicating a DTX length having a previously designated size from a base station.

11. The method of claim 8, wherein the DTX lengths having previously designated sizes are mapped to specific masking patterns, respectively.

12. A first terminal for performing device-to-device (D2D) communication in a wireless communication system, the first terminal comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit configured to transceive a wireless signal; and

a processor functionally connected to the RF unit,

wherein the processor is configured to transceive a device-to-device (D2D) signal through a first subframe related to the D2D communication with a second terminal;

to transmit a uplink signal through a second subframe related to uplink transmission to a base station; and

to drop the D2D signal in the first subframe if the uplink transmission are occurred on a single component carrier (CC).

13. The terminal of claim 12, wherein the dropping of the D2D signal is discontinuously transmitting (DTX) in the first subframe.

14. The terminal of claim 13, wherein the two continuous subframes are a subframe #n and a subframe #n+1, and

when the subframe #n+1 has priority higher than that of the subframe #n, the processor performs control to compare a timing advance (TA) value of the subframe #n+1 and a maximum-available DTX length of the subframe #n.

15. The terminal of claim 14, wherein when the TA value does not exceed the maximum-available DTX length, the processor selects the smallest DTX length among DTX lengths greater than the TA value, among DTX lengths having previously designated sizes, and performs control to perform DTX in the subframe #n by the selected DTX length.
