Abstract

One embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for transmitting and receiving a signal by a second UE in a wireless communication system, comprising the steps of: receiving a message from a first UE; and determining whether to participate in flooding of the received message, wherein if it is determined to participate in the flooding, the second UE transmits the received message a preset number of times through a preset resource region for a third UE, and a reference signal related to the message transmitted for the third UE is common to one or more UEs which have received the message from the first UE and participate in the flooding.

Claims

1. A method for transmitting and receiving a signal by a second device in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, by the second device, a message and assistance information from a first device, the assistance information indicating a predetermined resource region and a reference signal generation method; and

when the second device participates in flooding of the received message, transmitting, by the second device, the received message and the assistance information to a third device using the predetermined resource region and a reference signal generated by the reference signal generation method.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein a frequency region in the predetermined resource region is identical to a resource region for receiving the message from the first device.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein, when the message received from the first device indicates that the message is intended for flooding, or when the second device receives, from the first device, a command to participate in the flooding, the second device participates in the flooding.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein, when the message is identical to a message related to flooding having the second device already participating therein, the second device does not participate in the flooding.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein a cyclic prefix applied to the message transmitted for the third device is set to be longer than a cyclic prefix applied to a message intended for an operation other than flooding.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein phase shift based on a parameter related to the second device is applied to the message transmitted for the third device.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein the first device is one of a base station and a user equipment, and the second device and the third device are user equipment.

8. The method according to claim 1, wherein the second device transmits the received message and the assistance information to the third device a predetermined number of times, using the predetermined resource region and the reference signal generated by the reference signal generation method.

9. The method according to claim 8, wherein, when receiving a message different from the message received from the first device within the predetermined number of times, the second device participates in flooding of the different message after the predetermined number of times of the transmission is completed.

10. The method according to claim 8, wherein, when receiving a message identical to the message received from the first device within the predetermined number of times, the second device determines not to participate in flooding of the identical message.

11. The method according to claim 1, wherein the predetermined resource region is a subframe #1 among subframes #0 to #9.

12. A second device for transmitting and receiving a signal in a wireless communication system, comprising:

a transmit module;

a receive module; and

a processor that controls the transmit module and the receive module to;

receive a message and assistance information from a first device, the assistance information indicating a predetermined resource region and a reference signal generation method,

transmit the received message and the assistance information to a third device using the predetermined resource region and a reference signal generated by the reference signal generation method, when the second device participates in flooding of the received message.
