Abstract

Disclosed are a method for performing and supporting device to device direct communication (D2D communication) in a wireless communication system and a device therefor. The method for performing D2D communication of a terminal comprises the steps of: transmitting a first message, which is a request from a terminal operated in an idle state for connecting D2D communication and the base station, to a base station; and receiving a second message as a response to the request from the base station, wherein the second message includes a C-RNTI (Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identifier) allocated in the terminal to be connected with the base station, a D2D-RNTI (Device to Device RNTI) allocated in the terminal for D2D communication, and/or peer discovery configuration information.

Claims (45)

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

transmitting to the base station, a first message including a D2D connection request for D2D direct communication, the UE is connected with a base station;

receiving, from the base station, a second message corresponding to a response to the D2D connection request; and

transmitting a peer discovery signal periodically to at least one neighboring UE according to peer discovery configuration information,

wherein the second message includes a D2D-RNTI (radio network temporary identifier) allocated to the UE for D2D direct communication and the peer discovery configuration information,

wherein the peer discovery configuration information indicates a time slot shift for the UE and a peer discovery channel for the peer discovery signal among a plurality of peer discovery channels, and

wherein different time slot shifts are applied to peer discovery channels which are mapped on different frequency resources.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the peer discovery configuration information further includes at least one of a peer discovery logical channel ID, seed sequence information, cyclic shift information and peer discovery signal transmission period information.

3. The method according to claim 2 , further comprising transmitting a scheduling request or bandwidth request signal to the base station and receiving uplink resource allocation information from the base station as a response to the scheduling request or bandwidth request signal,

wherein the first message is transmitted on the basis of the uplink resource allocation information.

4. A method for performing D2D direct communication by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a base station, a first message including a D2D connection request and a cellular connection request, the UE operates in an idle state;

receiving, from the base station, a second message corresponding to a response to the D2D connection request and cellular connection request; and

transmitting a peer discovery signal periodically to at least one neighboring UE according to peer discovery configuration information,

wherein the second message includes a C-RNTI (cell-radio network temporary identifier) allocated to the UE for connection with the base station, a D2D-RNTI allocated to the UE for D2D direct communication and the peer discovery configuration information,

wherein the peer discovery configuration information indicates a time slot shift for the UE and a peer discovery channel for the peer discovery signal among a plurality of peer discovery channels, and

wherein different time slot shifts are applied to peer discovery channels which are mapped on different frequency resources.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the peer discovery configuration information further includes at least one of a peer discovery logical channel ID, seed sequence information, cyclic shift information and peer discovery signal transmission period information.

6. A method for supporting D2D direct communication by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
