Method for handling an ID collision for a D2D communication system and device therefor

1. A method for a first user equipment (UE) operating in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

generating a specific identifier (ID) of the first UE when the first UE is to communicate with a second UE;

transmitting a notification message including the specific ID to an eNB to inform communication between the first UE and the second UE;

receiving a response message in response to the notification message from the eNB; and

when the response message indicates collision of the specific ID by including a UE ID of the first UE of which the specific ID is collided, generating another ID different from the specific ID, otherwise, transmitting a discovery message to the second UE.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the notification message further include a Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI) of the first UE.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein each of the specific ID and the another ID is a Proximity based Services (ProSe) Layer 2 Identifier.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein when the first UE generates the another ID, the first UE selects the another ID randomly among a plurality of ProSe Layer 2 Identifiers except for the specific ID.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein when generating the another ID, the method further comprising:

transmitting another notification message including the another ID to the eNB.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the response message further includes the specific ID.

7. A method for a base station operating in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a notification message informing communication between a first user equipment (UE) and a second UE form the first UE,

wherein the notification message includes a specific identifier (ID) generated by the first UE;

checking whether the specific ID is already used by other UE different from the first UE; and

when the specific ID is already used by the other UE, transmitting a response message indicating collision of the specific ID to the first UE by including a UE ID of the first UE of which the specific ID is collided, otherwise, transmitting a response message without indicating collision of the specific ID to the first UE.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the specific identifier is a Proximity based Services (ProSe) Layer 2 Identifier.

9. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the response message further includes the specific ID.

10. The method according to claim 7 , further comprising:

when the specific ID is already used by the other UE, receiving another notification message including another ID different from the specific ID which is generated by the first UE.

11. A first User Equipment (UE) for operating in a wireless communication system, the first UE comprising:

a transmitter and a receiver; and

a processor operably coupled to the transmitter and the receiver,

wherein the processor is configured to:

generate a specific identifier (ID) of the first UE when the first UE is to communicate with a second UE,

transmit a notification message including the specific ID to an eNB to inform communication between the first UE and the second UE,

receive a response message in response to the notification message from the eNB, and

when the response message indicates collision of the specific ID by including a UE ID of the first UE of which the specific ID is collided, generate another ID different from the specific ID, otherwise, transmitting a discovery message to the second UE.

12. The first UE according to claim 11 , wherein the notification message further include a Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI) of the first UE.

13. The first UE according to claim 11 , wherein each of the specific ID and the another ID is a Proximity based Services (ProSe) Layer 2 Identifier.

14. The first UE according to claim 11 , wherein when the first UE generates the another ID, the first UE selects the another ID randomly among a plurality of ProSe Layer 2 Identifiers except for the specific ID.

15. The first UE according to claim 11 , wherein when the first UE generates the another ID, the processor is further configured to:

transmit another notification message including the another ID to the eNB.

16. The first UE according to claim 11 , wherein the response message further includes the specific ID.

17. A base station for operating in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a transmitter and a receiver; and

a processor operably coupled to the transmitter and the receiver,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive a notification message informing communication between a first user equipment (UE) and a second UE form the first UE, wherein the notification message includes a specific identifier (ID) generated by the first UE,

check whether the specific ID is already used by other UE different from the first UE, and

when the specific ID is already used by the other UE, transmit a response message indicating collision of the specific ID to the first UE by including a UE ID of the first UE of which the specific ID is collided, otherwise, transmitting a response message without indicating collision of the specific ID to the first UE.

18. The base station according to claim 17 , wherein the specific identifier is a Proximity based Services (ProSe) Layer 2 Identifier.

19. The base station according to claim 17 , wherein the response message further includes the specific ID.

20. The base station according to claim 17 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive another notification message including another ID different from the specific ID which is generated by the first UE.
