Abstract

Provided is a device-to-device (D2D) communication system for communication between a plurality of devices by a peer-to-peer (P2P) method, wherein, when a transmitting device transmits a connection request, which includes a reception phase difference, in the same radio signal through at least two omnidirectional antennas spaced a certain distance from each other, a receiving device located near the transmitting device receives the connection request, calculate a phase difference of the radio signal, and establish a connection in response to the connection requests only when a difference between the calculated phase difference and the reception phase difference included in the connection request is equal to or less than a set threshold.

Claims (9)

1. A device-to-device (D2D) communication system for direct communication between a plurality of devices, the system comprising:

a transmitting device configured to transmit a connection request in the same radio signal through at least two omnidirectional antennas spaced a certain distance from each other, the connection request including a reception phase difference; and

a receiving device configured to receive the connection request transmitted from the transmitting device, calculate a phase difference of the radio signal, and establish a connection in response to the connection request only when a difference between the calculated phase difference and the reception phase difference included in the connection request is equal to or less than a set threshold.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting device transmits the same radio signal for a given time while periodically switching between antennas.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting device transmits radio signals modulated at different frequencies through one of antennas.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting device transmits radio signals of different frequencies through one of antennas in response to the same connection request, wherein the frequencies of the radio signals each transmitted through one of the antennas are integer multiples of a frequency of a radio signal transmitted through an antenna for transmission of a radio signal of a lowest frequency, and

the receiving device calculates a phase difference from a ratio between a positive peak value and a negative peak value of a signal obtained by synthesizing the radio signals each transmitted from the transmitting device through one of the antennas.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting device transmits connection request while changing a reception phase difference at set time intervals to sequentially establish connections with neighboring receiving devices.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting device and the receiving device establish a connection using a phase difference and exchange data with each other regardless of a direction using device identification information exchanged in a connection procedure.
