Efficient relay transmission method and device in wireless access system supporting device to device communication
The present invention relates to a method for efficiently transmitting and receiving a device to device (D2D) signal by utilizing relay user equipment (rUE) in a wireless access system supporting D2D communication. As one embodiment of the present invention, a method by which rUE efficiently relays a D2D signal in a wireless access system supporting D2D communication can comprises the steps of: receiving, from a base station, an upper layer signal including a reference value for measuring signal quality; measuring signal quality for at least one access link; selecting an access link to be relayed on the basis of the reference value; and relaying a D2D signal for the selected access link.
1. A method of efficiently relaying a D2D signal, which is relayed by a relay user equipment (UE) in a wireless access system supporting device to device (D2D) communication, the method performed by the relay UE and comprising:
receiving, from an evolved Node-B (eNB), a higher layer signal including a reference value for measuring signal quality;
measuring signal quality of access links;
selecting, among the access links, a first access link based on the reference value; and
relaying the D2D signal based on the first access link,
wherein the access links are for links between the relay UE and other general UEs;
wherein the relay UE exchanges first access link information including a UE identifier and signal quality related to the first access link, with second access link information of a second relay UE including a UE identifier and signal quality related to a second access link of the second relay UE, and
wherein the second relay UE is a UE different from the first relay UE.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the signal quality is measured based on a UE-specific reference signal transmitted from the access links.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the higher layer signal further includes at least one of a source identifier or a destination identifier.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein, when performing uplink transmission, the relay UE relays only a D2D signal for a UE, the source identifier of which is matched among the first access link.
5. The method of claim 3 , when performing downlink transmission, the relay UE relays only a D2D signal for a UE, the destination identifier of which is matched among the first access link.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the relay UE does not relay a D2D signal for the second access link relayed by the second relay UE, based on the second access link information exchanged.
7. A relay user equipment (UE) efficiently relaying a D2D signal in a wireless access system supporting device to device (D2D) communication, the relay UE comprising:
a transmitter;
a receiver; and
a processor configured to support the relay of the D2D signal, and configured to:
control the receiver to receive, from an evolved Node-B (eNB), a higher layer signal containing a reference value for measuring signal quality;
measure signal quality of access links;
select, among the access links, a first access link based on the reference value; and
relay the D2D signal based on the first access link,
wherein the access links are for links between the relay UE and other general UEs;
wherein the relay UE exchanges first access link information including a UE identifier and signal quality related to the first access link, with second access link information of a second relay UE including a UE identifier and signal quality related to a second access link of the second relay UE, and
wherein the second relay UE is a UE different from the first relay UE.
8. The relay UE of claim 7 , wherein the signal quality is measured based on a UE-specific reference signal transmitted from the access links.
9. The relay UE of claim 7 , wherein the higher layer signal further includes at least one of a source identifier or a destination identifier.
10. The relay UE of claim 9 , wherein, when performing uplink transmission, the relay UE relays only a D2D signal for a UE, the source identifier of which is matched among the first access link.
11. The relay UE of claim 9 , wherein, when performing downlink transmission, the relay UE relays only a D2D signal for a UE, the destination identifier of which is matched among the first access link.
12. The relay UE of claim 7 , wherein the relay UE does not relay a D2D signal for the second access link relayed by the second relay UE, based on the second access link information exchanged.
