Abstract

Provided are a device-to-device (D2D) operation method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system and a terminal using the method. The method comprises: determining whether the terminal is located within network coverage; and transmitting information notifying a result of the determination to another terminal. Using this information, said another terminal can know whether the terminal is located within the network coverage and perform the D2D operation on the basis thereof.

Claims (16)

1. A method for performing a device-to-device (D2D) operation in a wireless communication system, the method performed by a first user equipment (UE) and comprising:

receiving, from a second UE, D2D information informing whether the second UE is located within a coverage of a network; and

performing the D2D operation based on the D2D information,

wherein the first UE is located out of the coverage of the network, and

wherein, when the first UE determines that the second UE is located within the coverage of the network based on the D2D information, the first UE performs the D2D operation based on the second UE being a reference for the D2D operation.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the D2D information is broadcasted.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the D2D operation includes D2D discovery or D2D communication.

4. A first user equipment (UE) comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) transceiver that receives and transmits radio signals; and

a processor connected to the RF transceiver to be operated and that:

controls the RF transceiver to receive, from a second UE, device-to-device (D2D) information informing whether the second UE is located within a coverage of a network; and

performs a D2D operation based on the D2D information,

wherein the first UE is located out of the coverage of the network, and

wherein, when the first UE determines that the second UE is located within the coverage of the network based on the D2D information, the first UE performs the D2D operation based on the second UE being a reference for the D2D operation.

5. The first UE of claim 4 , wherein the D2D information is broadcasted.

6. The first UE of claim 4 , wherein the D2D operation includes D2D discovery or D2D communication.
