Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for performing a HARQ action and an apparatus for same, comprising the steps of: receiving from a base station resource allocation information which indicates a subframe set for D2D communication; receiving D2D data from a subframe #n from different user equipment; and receiving HARQ-ACK information with respect to the D2D data, wherein the HARQ-ACK information is transmitted from subframe #(n+k) when the subframe #(n+k) belongs to the subframe set for the D2D communication, and the HARQ-ACK is transmitted from a subframe that is closest to the subframe #(n+k) from among subframes belonging to the subframe set for the D2D communication after the subframe #(n+k), when the subframe #(n+k) does not belong to the subframe set for the D2D communication.

Claims (23)

1. A method for controlling an uplink transmission by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station (BS), resource allocation information indicating a subframe set for device-to-device (D2D) discovery;

receiving, from the BS, scheduling information including resource allocation information for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in a first downlink (DL) subframe; and

performing a procedure for transmitting the PUSCH in a first uplink (UL) subframe associated with the first DL subframe,

wherein when the first UL subframe corresponds to the subframe set for D2D discovery, transmission of the PUSCH is performed in the first UL subframe, and

wherein when the first UL subframe corresponds to the subframe for D2D discovery, the transmission of the D2D discovery is dropped in the first UL subframe.

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

performing a procedure for transmitting a periodic signal in a second UL subframe,

wherein when the second UL subframe corresponds to the subframe set for D2D discovery, transmission of the periodic signal is dropped in the second UL subframe; and

when the second UL subframe does not correspond to the subframe for D2D discovery, the transmission of the periodic signal is performed in the first second UL subframe.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the periodic signal includes at least one of a periodic sounding reference signal (SRS) and a periodic channel quality information (CQI).

4. A user equipment (UE) configured to control an uplink transmission in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit; and

a processor that controls the RF unit to:

receive, from a base station (BS), resource allocation information indicating a subframe set for device-to-device (D2D) discovery,

receive, from the BS, scheduling information including resource allocation information for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in a first downlink (DL) subframe, and

perform a procedure for transmitting the PUSCH in a first uplink (UL) subframe associated with the first DL subframe;

wherein when the first UL subframe corresponds to the subframe set for D2D discovery, transmission of the PUSCH is performed in the first UL subframe, and

wherein when the first UL subframe corresponds to the subframe for D2D discovery, the transmission of the D2D discovery is dropped in the first UL subframe.

5. The UE according to claim 4 , wherein the processor further performs a procedure for transmitting a periodic signal in a second UL subframe,

wherein when the second UL subframe corresponds to the subframe set for D2D discovery, transmission of the periodic signal is dropped in the second UL subframe; and

when the second UL subframe does not correspond to the subframe for D2D discovery, the transmission of the periodic signal is performed in the first second UL subframe.

6. The UE according to claim 5 , wherein the periodic signal includes at least one of a periodic sounding reference signal (SRS) and a periodic channel quality information (CQI).
