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 (21)

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

receiving, from a serving cell, D2D configuration information informing a plurality of resource pools which can be used for transmission of a D2D signal; and

transmitting the D2D signal based on a resource pool among the plurality of resource pools,

wherein the D2D configuration information includes information informing whether the resource pool is selected based on a reference signal received power (RSRP) or is selected randomly,

wherein, based on the resource pool being selected based on the RSRP, the resource pool is a resource pool having a measured RSRP value that is larger than a low threshold value and smaller than a high threshold value, and

wherein the low threshold value and the high threshold value are informed by the D2D configuration information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the D2D configuration information informs the low threshold value and the high threshold value such that the UE selects only one resource pool upon the RSRP based pool selection.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the D2D signal comprises a signal for a D2D discovery.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the D2D signal comprises a signal for a D2D communication.

5. A user equipment (UE), the UE comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive radio signals; and

a processor connected to the transceiver to be operated,

wherein the processor:

receives, from a serving cell, D2D configuration information informing a plurality of resource pools which can be used for transmission of a D2D signal; and

transmits the D2D signal based on a resource pool among the plurality of resource pools,

wherein the D2D configuration information includes information informing whether the resource pool is selected based on a reference signal received power (RSRP) or is selected randomly,

wherein, based on the resource pool being selected based on the RSRP, the resource pool is a resource pool having a measured RSRP value that is larger than a low threshold value and smaller than a high threshold value, and

wherein the low threshold value and the high threshold value are informed by the D2D configuration information.

6. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the D2D configuration information informs the low threshold value and the high threshold value such that the UE selects only one resource pool upon the RSRP based pool selection.

7. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the D2D signal comprises a signal for a D2D discovery.

8. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the D2D signal comprises a signal for a D2D communication.
