Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method and a device for selecting of sidelink grant for a D2D UE in a D2D communication system, the method comprising: configuring a resource pool in which the UE selects a sidelink grant for transmitting sidelink data; and selecting a first set of sidelink grants for a first SC period from the resource pool to transmit a sidelink data; and selecting a second set of sidelink grants for a second SC period from the resource pool if amount of available sidelink data cannot be transmitted using remaining sidelink grants among the first set of sidelink grants in the first SC period.

Claims (13)

1. A method for a User Equipment (UE) operating in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from an evolved NodeB, a resource pool configuration for selecting a sidelink grant;

determining whether more sidelink data is available in a Sidelink Traffic Channel (STCH) than can be transmitted in a current Sidelink Control (SC) period; and

selecting a sidelink grant from a resource pool configured by the resource pool configuration if more sidelink data is determined to be available in the STCH than can be transmitted in the current SC period,

wherein when the UE selects the sidelink grant from the resource pool, the UE considers the selected sidelink grant to be a configured sidelink grant occurring in those subframes starting at the beginning of an available SC Period which starts at least 4 subframes after a subframe in which the sidelink grant was selected.

2. A User Equipment (UE) operating in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a receiver; and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to:

control the receiver to receive, from an evolved NodeB, a resource pool configuration for selecting a sidelink grant,

determine whether more sidelink data is available in a Sidelink Traffic Channel (STCH) than can be transmitted by controlling the RF unit in a current Sidelink Control (SC) period, and

select a sidelink grant from a resource pool configured by the resource pool configuration if more sidelink data is determined to be available in the STCH than can be transmitted in the current SC period,

wherein when the processor selects the sidelink grant from the source pool, the processor considers that the sidelink grant to be a configured sidelink grant occurring in those subframes starting at the beginning of an available SC Period which starts at least 4 subframes after a subframe in which the sidelink grant was selected.
