Abstract

Provided are a device-to-device (D2D) operation method and device which are performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system. The method comprises: receiving D2D configuration information indicating a plurality of resources which can be used for a D2D operation from a network; selecting a specific resource from among the plurality of resources; and performing the D2D operation with another terminal using the selected specific resource, wherein the specific resource is selected on the basis of a reference signal received power (RSRP) which the terminal has received from the network.

Claims (22)

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

receiving D2D configuration information indicating a plurality of resource pools which can be used for a D2D operation; and

performing the D2D operation using a resource pool selected from the plurality of resource pools,

wherein the D2D configuration information comprises a field indicating a scheme of selecting the resource pool,

wherein the field indicates a reference signal received power (RSRP) based pool selection or a random selection,

wherein the D2D configuration information includes a low threshold value and a high threshold value of the RSRP such that the terminal selects only one resource pool upon the RSRP based pool selection, and

wherein, when the field indicates the RSRP based pool selection, the UE selects a resource pool having a measured RSRP value that is larger than the low threshold value and smaller than the high threshold value as the resource pool used for the D2D operation.

2. The D2D operation method of claim 1 , wherein the D2D operation comprises transmission of a D2D signal.

3. The D2D operation method of claim 2 , wherein the D2D signal comprises a signal for D2D discovery.

4. The D2D operation method of claim 2 , wherein the D2D signal comprises a signal for D2D communication.

5. A terminal for performing a D2D operation in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a RF unit configured to send and receive radio signals; and

a processor connected to the RF unit to be operated, wherein the processor:

receives D2D configuration information indicating a plurality of resource pools which can be used for a D2D operation; and

performs the D2D operation using a resource pool selected from the plurality of resource pools,

wherein the D2D configuration information comprises a field indicating a scheme of selecting the resource pool,

wherein the field indicates a reference signal received power (RSRP) based pool selection or a random selection,

wherein the D2D configuration information includes a low threshold value and a high threshold value of the RSRP such that the terminal selects only one resource pool upon the RSRP based pool selection, and

wherein, when the field indicates the RSRP based pool selection, the UE selects a resource pool having a measured RSRP value that is larger than the low threshold value and smaller than the high threshold value as the resource pool used for the D2D operation.

6. The terminal of claim 5 , wherein the D2D operation comprises a transmission of a D2D signal.

7. The terminal of claim 6 , wherein the D2D signal comprises a signal for D2D discovery.

8. The terminal of claim 6 , wherein the D2D signal comprises a signal for D2D communication.
