Abstract

Disclosed in the present application is a method for transmitting/receiving a signal using device-to-device communication by a user equipment in a wireless communication system. More specifically, the method comprises the steps of: transmitting a first signal in contention slot included in one of a plurality of contention intervals; receiving, in response to the first signal, a second signal in the contention slot in which the first signal is transmitted; and transmitting/receiving a data signal or a response signal to the data signal in at least one time resource corresponding to the one of the plurality of contention intervals by using device-to-device communication.

Claims (15)

1. A method of transmitting device-to-device (D2D) link signals at a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a target UE, a D2D link control signal for a D2D link data signal using a first resource having a specific index; and

transmitting, to the target UE, the D2D link data signal using second resources,

wherein a lowest index of the second resources is the specific index, and

wherein information about a number of the second resources is included in the D2D link control signal.

2. The method according to claim l, wherein transmitting the D2D link control signal comprises:

generating a random number; and

if the random number is equal to or less than a predetermined value, transmitting the D2D link control signal.

3. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) module; and

a processor configured to control the RF module,

wherein the processor controls the RF module to transmit a device-to-device (D2D) link control signal to a target UE, and transmit the D2D link data signal to the target UE using second resources,

wherein a lowest index of the second resources is the specific index, and

wherein information about a number of the second resources is included in the D2D link control signal.

4. The UE according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is further configured to generate a random number, and to transmit the D2D link control signal if the random number is equal to or less than a predetermined value.
