Abstract

An embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for generating, by a terminal, a device-to-device (D2D) signal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising the steps of: mapping a sequence for an automatic gain control (AGC) preamble to a resource element; and performing an inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) on the mapped AGC preamble, wherein when mapped to the resource element, the sequence for the AGC preamble is repeated N times (N>=0) where N is proportional to a frequency bandwidth if the terminal is a terminal within a coverage.

Claims (25)

1. A method of generating a device-to-device (D2D) signal by a user equipment in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

mapping a sequence for an automatic gain control (AGC) preamble to a resource element; and

performing an inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) on the mapped AGC preamble,

wherein the sequence for the AGC preamble is repeated N times when mapped to the resource element,

wherein N is greater than or equal to 0,

wherein N is proportional to a frequency bandwidth if the user equipment is an in-coverage user equipment, and

wherein N is not related to the frequency bandwidth when strength of a signal received by the user equipment from a base station is equal to or smaller than a predetermined value.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the frequency bandwidth comprises either a system bandwidth or a transmission bandwidth of the D2D signal.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein a sequence ID for the AGC preamble is obtained from a synchronization source of the user equipment.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the sequence ID obtained from the synchronization source is used in common by the user equipment having received the AGC preamble.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein when a signal transmitted after the AGC preamble is either a discovery signal or a communication signal, the sequence ID is linked to a sequence ID of a demodulation reference signal related either to the discovery signal or to the communication signal.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein when a cyclic shift is applied to generation of the AGC preamble, the cyclic shift is linked to a cyclic shift of the demodulation reference signal related either to the discovery signal or to the communication signal.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein when a number of sequence IDs of the demodulation reference signal related either to the discovery signal or to the communication signal is greater than a number of sequence IDs for the AGC preamble, a modulo operation is applied to the sequence ID of the demodulation reference signal related either to the discovery signal or to the communication signal.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein a sequence ID for the AGC preamble is used in common within a group having the user equipment belong thereto.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sequence for the AGC preamble comprises a demodulation reference signal sequence.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the demodulation reference signal sequence has a same sequence ID of a demodulation reference signal related to a signal transmitted after the AGC preamble.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sequence for the AGC preamble comprises one selected from the group consisting of a Zadoff-chu (ZC) sequence, a gold sequence and an m-sequence.

12. A user equipment device for generating a device-to-device (D2D) signal in a wireless communication system, the user equipment device comprising:

a receiving module; and

a processor,

wherein the processor maps a sequence for an automatic gain control (AGC) preamble to a resource element and performs an inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) on the mapped AGC preamble,

wherein the sequence for the AGC preamble is repeated N times when mapped to the resource element,

wherein N is greater than or equal to 0,

wherein N is proportional to a frequency bandwidth if the user equipment device is an in-coverage user equipment, and

wherein N is not related to the frequency bandwidth when strength of a signal received by the user equipment device from a base station is equal to or smaller than a predetermined value.
