Abstract

An embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for performing measurement by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising the steps of: receiving D2D signals transmitted by a plurality of relay terminals; and performing measurement using at least one signal among the D2D signals, wherein the D2D signal subjected to the measurement is a D2D signal having a valid CRC.

Claims

1. A method of performing measurement by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving Device-to-Device (D2D) signals transmitted by a plurality of relay UEs; and

performing measurement using one or more of the D2D signals;

wherein D2D signals on which the measurement is performed are D2D signals having a valid Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC).

2. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

applying filtering to results of the measurement.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the filtering is applied only to results of the measurement for the same relay identification (ID).

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the D2D signals are Physical Sidelink Discovery Channels (PSDCHs) and the measurement is calculating of an average of received powers of Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) Resource Elements (REs) of the PSDCHs.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein a period in which the PDSCHs are transmitted is 70 ms, 140 ms, or 280 ms which is a multiple of 70 ms.

6. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

selecting a relay UE based on results of the measurement.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein the UE measures a D2D Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) from a communication signal.

8. A User Equipment (UE) for performing measurement in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transmitter and a receiver; and

a processor,

wherein the processor configured to receive Device-to-Device (D2D) signals transmitted by a plurality of relay UEs and performs measurement using one or more of the D2D signals, and

wherein D2D signals on which the measurement is performed are D2D signals having a valid Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC).

9. The UE according to claim 8, wherein filtering is applied to results of the measurement.

10. The UE according to claim 9, wherein the filtering is applied only to results of the measurement for the same relay identification (ID).

11. The UE according to claim 8, wherein the D2D signals are Physical Sidelink Discovery Channels (PSDCHs) and the measurement is calculating of an average of received powers of Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) Resource Elements (REs) of the PSDCHs.

12. The UE according to claim 8, wherein a period in which the PDSCHs are transmitted is 70 ms, 140 ms, or 280 ms which is a multiple of 70 ms.

13. The UE according to claim 8, wherein the UE selects a relay UE based on results of the measurement.

14. The UE according to claim 8, wherein the UE measures a D2D Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) from a communication signal.
