Method for controlling transmission power of discovery signal for device-to-device communication in wireless communication system and device for same
A method by which a terminal transmits a discovery signal for device-to-device communication in a wireless communication system is disclosed in the present application. Particularly, the method comprises the steps of: receiving one or more downlink signals; determining transmission power for transmitting the discovery signal on the basis of reference reception power of the one or more downlink signals; and transmitting the discovery signal on the basis of the determined transmission power, wherein the transmission power decreases as the reference reception power increases.
1. A method of transmitting a device-to-device (D2D) link signal at a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
determining a reference downlink pathloss from a D2D cluster including a plurality of base stations;
calculating a transmission power for the D2D link signal according to the reference downlink pathloss; and
transmitting the D2D link signal to at least one target UE according to the calculated transmission power for the D2D link signal,
wherein the reference downlink pathloss is determined as an average value of downlink pathlosses from the plurality of base stations,
wherein the transmission power for the D2D link signal decreases as the reference downlink pathloss increases, if the reference downlink pathloss is less than a first value,
wherein the transmission power for the D2D link signal increases as the reference downlink pathloss increases, if the reference downlink pathloss is greater than the first value.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, when the reference downlink pathloss is greater than a second value, the D2D link signal is transmitted according to a maximum transmission power for the D2D link signal regardless of the calculated transmission power for the D2D link signal.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the D2D link signal comprises a discovery signal for the D2D link.
4. A user equipment (UE) for performing device-to-device (D2D) link communication in a wireless communication system, the UE apparatus comprising:
a wireless communication unit; and
a processor, connected with the wireless communication unit, that:
determines a reference downlink pathloss from a D2D cluster including a plurality of base stations, calculates transmission power for a D2D link signal according to the reference downlink pathloss, and controls the wireless communication module to transmit the D2D link signal to at least one target UE according to the calculated transmission power for the D2D link signal, and
wherein the processor determines the reference downlink pathloss as an average value of downlink pathlosses from the plurality of base stations,
wherein the processor decreases the transmission power for the D2D link signal as the reference downlink pathloss increases, if the reference downlink pathloss is less than a first value,
wherein the processor increases the transmission power for the D2D link signal as the reference downlink pathloss increases, if the reference downlink pathloss is greater than the first value.
5. The UE according to claim 4 , wherein when the reference downlink pathloss is greater than a second value, the processor controls the wireless communication module to transmit the D2D link signal according to a maximum transmission power for the D2D link signal regardless of the calculated transmission power for the D2D link signal.
6. The UE according to claim 4 , wherein the D2D link signal comprises a discovery signal for the D2D link.
