Abstract

Disclosed is a method by which a representative terminal of a specific cluster performs scheduling for device-to-device (D2D) communication in a wireless communication system. Particularly, the method comprises the steps of: receiving a first signal from a terminal of a neighboring cluster; and comparing a priority given to the neighboring cluster with a priority given to the specific cluster in a specific resource among a plurality of resources so as to perform D2D communication scheduling on a component terminal of the specific cluster, wherein the first signal includes information on the neighboring cluster.

Claims (21)

1. A method of receiving and transmitting synchronization signals for a device-to-device (D2D) link at a first user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

configuring a first time resource and a second time resource for the synchronization signals;

receiving a first synchronization signal for the D2D link on the first time resource from a reference UE; and

transmitting a second synchronization signal for the D2D link on the second time resource to a second UE,

wherein, except for the first and second synchronization signals, no D2D link signal transmission from the first UE occurs in the first and second time resources.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the reference UE is included in an adjacent cluster different from a specific cluster comprising the first UE.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first UE and the second UE are included in a same cluster.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first time resource and the second time resource is configured periodically.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first time resource is from the second time resource by a predetermined interval.

6. A first user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the first UE comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a signal; and

a processor connected with the transceiver and configured to process the signal,

wherein the processor is further configured to:

configure a first time resource and a second time resource for synchronization signals for a device-to-device (D2D) link,

control the transceiver to receive a first synchronization signal for the D2D link on the first time resource from a reference UE, and

control the transceiver to transmit a second synchronization signal for the D2D link on the second time resource to a second UE,

wherein, except for the first and second synchronization signals, no D2D link signal transmission from the first UE occurs in the first and second time resources.

7. The first UE according to claim 6 , wherein the reference UE is included in an adjacent cluster different from a specific cluster comprising the first UE.

8. The first UE according to claim 6 , wherein the first UE and the second UE are included in a same cluster.

9. The first UE according to claim 6 , wherein each of the first time resource and the second time resource is configured periodically.

10. The first UE according to claim 6 , wherein the first time resource is separated from the second time resource by a predetermined interval.
