Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for managing a device to device (D2D) terminal group in a wireless communication system and an apparatus for the same. In detail, a method for managing a device to device (D2D) terminal group in a wireless communication system may include the steps of: receiving, by a first terminal which belongs to the D2D terminal group, a discovery signal from a second terminal which belongs to the D2D terminal group on a physical sidelink discovery channel (PSDCH); calculating, by the first terminal, a position of the second terminal by using the discovery signal; and displaying, by the first terminal, the position of the second terminal based on the position of the first terminal.

Claims (11)

1. A method for managing a device to device (D2D) terminal group in a wireless communication system, the method performed by a first terminal which belongs to the D2D terminal group and comprising:

receiving, from a second terminal which belongs to the D2D terminal group, a discovery signal on a physical sidelink discovery channel (PSDCH);

calculating a position of the second terminal by using the discovery signal; and

displaying the position of the second terminal based on a position of the first terminal,

wherein, when it is detected that a third terminal which belongs to the D2D terminal group deviates from a D2D coverage of the D2D terminal group, an anchor terminal for relaying data between the third terminal and a terminal which belongs to the D2D terminal group among the terminals which belong to the D2D terminal group is configured.

2. The method for managing a D2D terminal group of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting a warning message to the second terminal on a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) when the second terminal is spaced apart from the first terminal by a predetermined distance.

3. The method for managing a D2D terminal group of claim 1 , wherein the third terminal and the anchor terminal are connected through a cellular link and the anchor terminal and the terminal which belongs to the D2D terminal group are connected through a D2D link.

4. The method for managing a D2D terminal group of claim 1 , wherein the anchor terminal is selected as a terminal having reference signal received power (RSRP), a signal to noise ratio (SNR), or a signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) for the D2D link between the terminals which belong to the D2D terminal group, which is the highest.

5. The method for managing a D2D terminal group of claim 1 , wherein the anchor terminal is selected as a terminal that transmits a D2D synchronization signal.

6. The method for managing a D2D terminal group of claim 1 , wherein the anchor terminal is selected as a terminal that transmits a physical sidelink broadcast channel (PSBCH).
