Provided are a method for transmitting a buffer status report (BSR), and a device thereof, and to: a method by which a first terminal transmits and receives a BSR required for performing device-to-device communication with a second terminal in order to efficiently allocate a wireless resource to be used for the device-to-device communication; and a device therefor. Specifically, provided are a method and a device by which the first terminal performs device-to-device communication with the second terminal. Such a method includes triggering a BSR for the device-to-device communication with the second terminal, transmitting the BSR to a base station or a wireless resource allocation entity, and receiving wireless resource allocation information for the device-to-device communication with the second terminal from the base station or the wireless resource allocation entity.

wherein the second signal is transmitted by being included in a system information block; and
wherein the transmitting a third signal includes:
transmitting, by the first UE, the third signal including indication information indicating termination of inter-UE direct communication with the second UE, to allow at least one of the BS and the radio resource allocation entity to release radio resources allocated for inter-UE direct communication between the first UE and the second UE.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the third signal further includes buffer status information for inter-UE direct communication.

8. A method for a Base Station (BS) to control inter-User Equipment (UE) direct communication, the method comprising:
receiving, from a first UE, a first signal including radio resource allocation request information for inter-UE direct communication;
transmitting, to the first UE, a second signal including radio resource allocation information, discovery frequency information associated with inter-UE direct communication, and assistance information for inter-UE direct communication, wherein the assistance information includes adjacent UE identification information for identifying at least one UE located within a predetermined distance from the first UE, and the first UE performs inter-UE direct communication with the second UE based on the radio resource allocation information;
receiving, from the first UE, a third signal including information associated with a status of inter-UE direct communication; and
releasing radio resources allocated for inter-UE direct communication between the first UE and a second UE when the third signal includes indication information indicating termination of inter-UE direct communication between the first UE and the second UE,
wherein the second signal is transmitted by being included in a system information block.
9. The method as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the third signal further includes buffer status information for inter-UE direct communication.
10. The method as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the second signal further includes available period information of the radio resource.
11. The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the third signal includes information that requests reallocation of the radio resource based on whether the available period of the radio resource expires.
12. The method as claimed in claim 8 , wherein:
the assistance information further includes at least one of discovery radio resource information for inter-UE direct communication, communication radio resource information for inter-UE direct communication, location information associated with an adjacent UE, group identification information associated with a group that executes inter-UE direct communication, and information associated with a data radio bearer to be converted into inter-UE direct communication.
13. The method as claimed in claim 8 , wherein:
the second signal further includes available period information of the radio resource.
14. A first User Equipment (UE) for performing inter-UE direct communication with a second UE, the first UE comprising:
a transmitter configured to transmit, to at least one of a Base Station (BS) and a radio resource allocation entity, a first signal including radio resource allocation request information for inter-UE direct communication with the second UE;
a receiver configured to receive, from at least one of the BS and the radio resource allocation entity, a second signal including radio resource allocation information, discovery frequency information associated with inter-UE direct communication, and assistance information for inter-UE direct communication, wherein the assistance information includes adjacent UE identification information for identifying at least one UE located within a predetermined distance from the first UE; and
a controller configured to perform inter-UE direct communication with the second UE based on the radio resource allocation information,
wherein the second signal is transmitted by being included in a system information block;
wherein the transmitter further transmits, to at least one of the BS and the radio resource allocation entity, a third signal including information associated with a status of inter-UE direct communication with the second UE; and
wherein the transmitter transmits the third signal including indication information indicating termination of inter-UE direct communication with the second UE, to allow at least one of the BS and the radio resource allocation entity to release radio resources allocated for inter-UE direct communication between the first UE and the second UE.
