Abstract

A method by which a terminal measures device-to-device (D2D) resources in a wireless communication system, according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of: receiving allocated resources for D2D transmission and reception; performing a first measurement on resource regions for the D2D transmission and reception; determining resource regions in which a discovery signal exists, which are estimated on the basis of the first measurement result; and performing a second measurement on the estimated resource regions.

Claims

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

receiving allocation of a resource region for the D2D communication;

performing a first measurement on the resource region for the D2D communication;

determining whether the resource region has a discovery signal based on a result of the first measurement;

performing a second measurement on the resource region when the result of the first measurement indicates the resource region has the discovery signal; and

adjusting discovery signal transmission periodicity of the UE based on a result of the second measurement,

wherein, based on the result of the second measurement being smaller than 10% block error rate (BLER), the discovery signal transmission periodicity of the UE is set to 2 ms,

wherein, based on the result of the second measurement being in a range of 10% to 20% BLER, the discovery signal transmission periodicity of the UE is set to 4 ms,

wherein, based on the result of the second measurement being in a range of 20% to 30% BLER, the discovery signal transmission periodicity of the UE is set to 8 ms, and

wherein, based on the result of the second measurement exceeding 30% BLER, a discovery signal transmission is stopped and the first measurement is performed again until the result of the second measurement is reduced below 10% BLER.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first measurement is performed in a manner of detecting energy from the resource region for the D2D communication.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein when adjusting the discovery signal transmission periodicity, the UE reports information on the adjustment of the discovery signal transmission periodicity to a base station.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein when a ratio of the resource region having the discovery signal is determined to exceed a threshold by an amount equal to or greater than a preset value based on the result of the second measurement, the UE receives allocation of an additional resource region for the D2D communication from a base station.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein when a ratio of the resource region having the discovery signal is determined to exceed a threshold by an amount equal to or greater than a preset value based on the result of the second measurement, the UE reports the result of the second measurement to a base station for the resource region for the D2D communication.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the first measurement is performed by detecting a sequence for the discovery signal.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the first measurement is performed by detecting cyclic redundancy check (CRC) for the discovery signal.

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

a receiver; and

a processor configured to;

receive, via the receiver, allocation of a resource region for the D2D communication,

perform a first measurement on the resource region for the D2D communication,

determine whether the resource region has a discovery signal based on a result of the first measurement,

perform a second measurement on the resource region when the result of the first measurement indicates the resource region has the discovery signal, and

adjust discovery signal transmission periodicity of the UE based on a result of the second measurement,

wherein, based on the result of the second measurement being smaller than 10% block error rate (BLER), the discovery signal transmission periodicity of the UE is set to 2 ms,

wherein, based on the result of the second measurement being in a range of 10% to 20% BLER, the discovery signal transmission periodicity of the UE is set to 4 ms,

wherein, based on the result of the second measurement being in a range of 20% to 30% BLER, the discovery signal transmission periodicity of the UE is set to 8 ms, and

wherein, based on the result of the second measurement exceeding 30% BLER, a discovery signal transmission is stopped and the first measurement is performed again until the result of the second measurement is reduced below 10% BLER.

9. The UE of claim 8, wherein the first measurement is performed in a manner of detecting energy from the resource region for the D2D communication.

10. The UE of claim 8, wherein when adjusting the discovery signal transmission periodicity, the UE reports information on the adjustment of the discovery signal transmission periodicity to a base station.

11. The UE of claim 8, wherein when a ratio of the resource region having the discovery signal is determined to exceed a threshold by an amount equal to or greater than a preset value based on the result of the second measurement, the UE receives allocation of an additional resource region for the D2D communication from a base station.

12. The UE of claim 8, wherein when a ratio of the resource region having the discovery signal is detemiined to exceed a threshold by an amount equal to or greater than a preset value based on the result of the second measurement, the UE reports the result of the second measurement to a base station for the resource region for the D2D communication.

13. The UE of claim 8, wherein the first measurement is performed by detecting a sequence for the discovery signal.

14. The UE of claim 8, wherein the first measurement is performed by detecting cyclic redundancy check (CRC) for the discovery signal.
