Method and apparatus for transmitting/receiving discovery signal in wireless communication system
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for transmitting a discovery signal related to device to device (D2D) communication by a first UE in a wireless communication system comprises: mapping a codeword related to a discovery signal to two or more pairs of physical resource blocks (PRBs) on a time axis; and transmitting the mapped codeword, wherein a first pair of PRBs of the two or more pairs of PRBs includes a resource area for a first signal and whether an n-th (n>=2) pair of PRBs of the two or more pairs of PRBs includes the resource area for the first signal is determined according to whether a next subframe of a subframe including an (n−1)-th pair of PRBs is for an uplink transmission.
1. A method of transmitting a discovery signal related to device-to-device (D2D) communication by a first user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
mapping a codeword related to the discovery signal to at least two physical resource block (PRB) pairs on a time axis; and
transmitting the mapped codeword related to the discovery signal,
wherein a first PRB pair among the at least two PRB pairs includes a resource region for transmitting a specific signal,
wherein, whether the resource region for transmitting the specific signal is included in an n-th PRB pair (n>=2) among the at least two PRB pairs is determined based on whether a subframe subsequent to a subframe including an (n−1)th PRB pair is for uplink transmission,
wherein each of the pairs of PRBs corresponds to a discovery signal element, and the number of the at least two PRB pairs corresponds to a discovery signal aggregation level, and
wherein the discovery signal aggregation level is greater than or equal to a predetermined value when the UE is related to public safety.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a subframe including a last PRB pair of the at least two PRB pairs includes a guard period.
3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein subframes including the at least two PRB pairs, respectively, are continuous uplink subframes.
4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein a last subframe of the subframes including the at least two PRB pairs, respectively, is a last subframe of the continuous uplink subframes.
5. The method according to claim 3 , wherein a length of the guard period is related to a time necessary for transmission-reception switching.
6. The method according to claim 2 , wherein a length of the guard period is related to a maximum timing advance in a cell including the first UE when a subframe subsequent to the subframe including the last PRB pair among the at least two PRB pairs is for uplink transmission.
7. The method according to claim 2 , wherein a length of the guard period is related to a time necessary for transmission-reception switching when a subframe subsequent to the subframe including the last PRB pair among the at least two PRB pairs is for downlink transmission.
8. The method according to claim 2 , wherein a length of the guard period is 0 when an offset of −20 us is applied to transmission of the discovery signal.
9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the n-th PRB pair includes the resource region for transmitting the specific signal when the subframe subsequent to the subframe including the (n- 1 )th PRB pair is for downlink transmission.
10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the mapping of the codeword is performed using a time-first scheme in an ascending order of subcarrier indices in the at least two PRB pairs.
11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the discovery signal aggregation level is indicated by a header included in the discovery signal element.
12. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the specific signal is used for automatic gain control (AGC) of a second UE receiving the discovery signal.
13. A first UE transmitting a discovery signal related to D2D communication in a wireless communication system, comprising:
a receiver; and
a processor,
wherein the processor maps a codeword related to the discovery signal to at least two PRB pairs on a time axis, and transmits the mapped codeword,
a first PRB pair among the at least two PRB pairs includes a resource region for transmitting a specific signal,
wherein whether the resource region for transmitting the specific signal is included in an n-th PRB pair (n>=2) among the at least two PRB pairs is determined based on whether a subframe subsequent to a subframe including an (n−1)th PRB pair is for uplink transmission,
wherein each of the pairs of PRBs corresponds to a discovery signal element, and the number of the at least two PRB pairs corresponds to a discovery signal aggregation level, and
wherein the discovery signal aggregation level is greater than or equal to a predetermined value when the UE is related to public safety.
