Abstract

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method for transmitting a reception acknowledgement response by an user equipment for performing device-to-device communication in a wireless communication system, comprises the steps of: receiving a physical downlink shared channel; and transmitting a reception acknowledgement response for the physical downlink shared channel on a resource for a physical uplink control channel, wherein the reception acknowledgement response is transmitted according to a setting of a round trip time (RTT), and the RTT is set for each user equipment.

Claims (48)

1. A method of transmitting a reception confirmation response, which is transmitted by a user equipment performing a device-to-device communication in a wireless communication system, comprising the steps of:

receiving a physical downlink shared channel; and

transmitting a reception confirmation response for the physical downlink shared channel on a resource of a physical uplink control channel,

wherein the reception confirmation response is transmitted according to an RTT (round trip time) configuration and wherein the RTT configuration is configured for each user equipment,

wherein the resource of the physical uplink control channel is determined based on the following formula n PUCCH (1,p=p 0 ) =n CCE ·N conf _ RTT +N PUCCH (1) +n RTT _ index ,

wherein n PUCCH (1,p=p 0 ) corresponds to the resource of the physical uplink control channel in an antenna port p 0 ,

wherein n CCE corresponds to a lowest control channel element index of a physical downlink control channel indicating the physical downlink shared channel,

wherein N conf _ RTT corresponds to the number of the RTT configuration,

wherein N PUCCH (1) corresponds to a value delivered via upper layer signaling, and

wherein n RTT _ index corresponds to the RTT configuration index set to the user equipment.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a resource of a physical downlink control channel is determined in consideration of a user equipment comprising an index identical to a lowest control channel element index of the physical downlink control channel indicating the physical downlink shared channel and transmitting the reception confirmation response on a timing identical to a timing of the user equipment.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RTT configuration corresponds to one of two or more configurations different from each other.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RTT configuration is identical to an RTT configuration used by a user equipment communicating with an eNode B within a cell in which the user equipment is contained.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein time taken for transmitting the reception confirmation response after the physical downlink shared channel is received in the RTT configuration is different from time taken for the user equipment communicating with the eNode B to transmit the reception confirmation response after the physical downlink shared channel is received.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RTT configuration is different from an RTT configuration used by a user equipment communicating with an eNode B within a cell in which the user equipment is contained.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein time taken for transmitting the reception confirmation response after the physical downlink shared channel is received in the RTT configuration is configured for each user equipment.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RTT configuration is determined in consideration of a distance from the user equipment performing the device-to-device communication.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RTT configuration is determined in consideration of capability information of the user equipment performing the device-to-device communication.

10. A user equipment device performing a device-to-device communication in a wireless communication system, comprising:

a transmission module;

a reception module; and

a processor that:

controls the reception module to receive a physical downlink shared channel,

controls the transmission module to transmit a reception confirmation response for the physical downlink shared channel on a resource of a physical uplink control channel,

wherein the reception confirmation response is transmitted according to an RTT (round trip time) configuration and wherein the RTT configuration is configured according to a user equipment,

wherein the resource of the physical uplink control channel is determined based on the following formula n PUCCH (1,p=p 0 ) =n CCE ·N conf _ RTT +N PUCCH (1) +n RTT _ index ,

wherein n PUCCH (1,p=p 0 ) corresponds to the resource of the physical uplink control channel in an antenna port p 0 ,

wherein n CCE corresponds to a lowest control channel element index of a physical downlink control channel indicating the physical downlink shared channel,

wherein N conf _ RTT corresponds to the number of the RTT configuration,

wherein N PUCCH (1) corresponds to a value delivered via upper layer signaling, and

wherein n RTT _ index corresponds to the RTT configuration index set to the user equipment.

11. A method of transmitting a reception confirmation response, which is transmitted by a user equipment performing a device-to-device communication in a wireless communication system, comprising the steps of:

receiving a physical downlink shared channel; and

transmitting a reception confirmation response for the physical downlink shared channel on a resource of a physical uplink control channel,

wherein the reception confirmation response is transmitted according to an RTT (round trip time) configuration and wherein the RTT configuration is configured for each user equipment,

wherein the resource of the physical uplink control channel is determined based on the following formula n PUCCH (1,p=p 0 ) =n CCE +N PUCCH (1) +n DL _ grant ,

wherein n PUCCH (1,p=p 0 ) corresponds to the resource of the physical uplink control channel in an antenna port p 0 ,

wherein n CCE corresponds to a lowest control channel element index of a physical downlink control channel indicating the physical downlink shared channel,

wherein N PUCCH (1) corresponds to a value delivered via upper layer signaling, and

wherein n DL _ grant corresponds to a field value related to a resource region of the physical downlink shared channel.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein a resource of a physical downlink control channel is determined in consideration of a user equipment comprising an index identical to a lowest control channel element index of the physical downlink control channel indicating the physical downlink shared channel and transmitting the reception confirmation response on a timing identical to a timing of the user equipment.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the RTT configuration corresponds to one of two or more configurations different from each other.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the RTT configuration is identical to an RTT configuration used by a user equipment communicating with an eNode B within a cell in which the user equipment is contained.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein time taken for transmitting the reception confirmation response after the physical downlink shared channel is received in the RTT configuration is different from time taken for the user equipment communicating with the eNode B to transmit the reception confirmation response after the physical downlink shared channel is received.

16. The method of claim 11 , wherein the RTT configuration is different from an RTT configuration used by a user equipment communicating with an eNode B within a cell in which the user equipment is contained.

17. The method of claim 11 , wherein time taken for transmitting the reception confirmation response after the physical downlink shared channel is received in the RTT configuration is configured for each user equipment.

18. The method of claim 11 , wherein the RTT configuration is determined in consideration of a distance from the user equipment performing the device-to-device communication.

19. The method of claim 11 , wherein the RTT configuration is determined in consideration of capability information of the user equipment performing the device-to-device communication.
