Method for transmitting discovery message in wireless communication system and apparatus for same
Disclosed herein are a method and apparatus for sending a discovery message in a wireless communication system. Specifically, a method for transmitting a discovery message in a wireless communication system supporting communication between user equipments (UEs) may include receiving, by a UE, discovery resource area configuration information from an evolved NodeB (eNB), determining, by the UE, the discovery resource area of the UE based on the discovery resource area configuration information and a value measured using a Reference Signal (RS) received from the eNB, selecting, by the UE, a discovery resource for transmitting a discovery message within the determined discovery resource area, and transmitting, by the UE, the discovery message in the selected discovery resource, wherein the discovery resource area configuration information comprises mapping information between the discovery resource area and the value measured by the UE using the RS.
1. A method for transmitting a discovery message in a wireless communication system supporting communication of a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
receiving, by the UE, discovery resource area configuration information from an evolved NodeB (eNB);
determining, by the UE, a discovery resource area of the UE based on the discovery resource area configuration information and a value measured using a Reference Signal (RS) received from the eNB;
selecting, by the UE, a discovery resource for transmitting a discovery message within the determined discovery resource area; and
transmitting, by the UE, the discovery message in the selected discovery resource,
wherein entire discovery resources of each cell are divided into a plurality of discovery resource areas,
wherein the discovery resource area configuration information includes mapping information between each of the plurality of discovery resource areas and a range of a value measured by the UE using the RS,
wherein a granularity for dividing the entire discovery resource into the plurality of discovery resource areas is determined based on a service used by the UE or in response to user input, and
wherein one or more discovery resource areas in the entire discovery resources are shared among neighboring cells when synchronized between the neighboring cells.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the discovery message resource area is divided into a combination of at least any one of a frequency domain, a time domain, and a spatial domain within a discovery resource pool.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE senses the determined discovery resource area and randomly selects the discovery resource from resources having an energy level corresponding to a predetermined range.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the value measured using the RS includes at least one of Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ), a Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), pathloss, and Channel State Information (CSI).
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the discovery resource area configuration information is transmitted through any one of a System Information Block (SIB), a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), and a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the discovery resource area is determined by taking into consideration both the value measured using the RS and a cell identity.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the discovery resource is randomly selected within a subframe configuration set allocated to the UE by the eNB for the transmission of the discovery message.
8. A user equipment (UE) for transmitting a discovery message in a wireless communication system supporting communication of the UE, the UE comprising:
a Radio Frequency (RF) unit configured to transmit and receive radio signals; and
a processor,
wherein the processor is configured to:
control the RF unit to receive discovery resource area configuration information from an evolved NodeB (eNB),
determine a discovery resource area of the UE based on the discovery resource area configuration information and a value measured using a Reference Signal (RS) received from the eNB,
select a discovery resource for transmitting a discovery message within the determined discovery resource area, and
control the RF unit to transmit the discovery message in the selected discovery resource,
wherein entire discovery resources of each cell are divided into a plurality of discovery resource areas,
wherein the discovery resource area configuration information includes mapping information between the discovery resource area and the value measured by the UE using the RS,
wherein a granularity for dividing the entire discovery resource into the plurality of discovery resource areas is determined based on a service used by the UE or in response to user input, and
wherein one or more discovery resource areas in the entire discovery resources are shared among neighboring cells when synchronized between the neighboring cells.
