Abstract

A method for device-to-device (D2D) operation performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system and a terminal using the method are provided. The method comprises: receiving information related to a D2D resource pool; and performing D2D operation with another terminal from a D2D resource indicated by the information related to the D2D resource pool, wherein the terminal establishes a gap which does not receive a downlink signal transmitted from a serving cell, based on the D2D resource.

Claims (21)

1. A method for a device-to-device (D2D) operation performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a serving cell, gap configuration information indicating whether or not the terminal is allowed to configure a gap autonomously;

receiving information regarding a D2D resource pool; and

performing the D2D operation with respect to another terminal in a D2D resource indicated by the information regarding the D2D resource pool,

wherein, if the gap configuration information indicates that the terminal is allowed to configure the gap autonomously, the terminal autonomously configures the gap,

wherein the gap comprises at least one subframe included in the D2D resource, and

wherein, in the configured gap, the terminal does not monitor a control signal transmitted from the serving cell and performs only the D2D operation.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the D2D resource comprises at least one subframe in a time domain.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the gap further comprises a subframe comprised in the D2D resource and one subframe each before and after the subframe.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the D2D operation is D2D signal transmission for D2D communication.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the D2D operation is D2D signal transmission for D2D discovery.

6. A terminal for performing a device-to-device (D2D) operation in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit configured to transmit and receive a radio signal; and

a processor operatively coupled to the RF unit,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive, from a serving cell, gap configuration information indicating whether or not the terminal is allowed to configure a gap autonomously;

receive information regarding a D2D resource pool; and

perform the D2D operation with respect to another terminal in a D2D resource indicated by the information regarding the D2D resource pool,

wherein, if the gap configuration information indicates that the terminal is allowed to configure the gap autonomously, the terminal autonomously configures the gap,

wherein the gap comprises at least one subframe included in the D2D resource, and

wherein, in the configured gap, the terminal does not monitor a control signal transmitted from the serving cell and performs only the D2D operation.
