Abstract

The present invention relates to a device-to device (D2D) operation method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system. The method comprises: separately receiving, from a serving cell, measurement bandwidth information about a frequency not included in information indicative of a measurement object for the purpose of supporting the mobility of the terminal; measuring the frequency not included in the measurement object for the purpose of supporting the mobility on the basis of the measurement bandwidth information; selecting a cell on the frequency; and performing discovery announcement on the cell.

Claims (16)

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

receiving, from a network, system information block 5 (SIB 5) related to an inter-frequency cell reflection;

receiving, from the network, measurement bandwidth information including at least one frequency for performing the D2D discovery announcement, when the SIB 5 does not include the at least one frequency for performing the D2D discovery announcement;

selecting a specific cell among at least one non-primary cell based on measuring the at least one non-primary cell on the at least one frequency; and

performing the D2D discovery announcement on the specific cell,

wherein the UE maintains camping on a primary cell while the UE performs the D2D discovery announcement on the specific cell being a non-primary cell, and

wherein, when measuring the at least one non-primary cell, the UE only measures the specific cell, which has a priority same or higher than a priority of the primary cell, among the at least one non-primary cell.

2. A user equipment (UE) for performing a device-to-device (D2D) discovery announcement in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a radio signal; and

a processor operatively coupled to the transceiver, wherein the processor is configured to:

control the transceiver to receive, from a network, system information block 5 (SIB 5) related to art inter-frequency cell reselection,

control the transceiver to receive, from the network, measurement bandwidth information including at least one frequency for performing the D2D discovery announcement, when the SIB 5 does not include the at least one frequency for performing the D2D discovery announcement;

select a specific cell among at least one non-primary cell based on measuring the at least one non-primary cell on the at least one frequency, and

perform the D2D discovery announcement on the specific cell,

wherein the UE maintains camping on a primary cell while the processor performs the D2D discovery announcement on the specific cell being a non-primary cell, and

wherein, when measuring the at least one non-primary cell, the UE only measures the specific cell, which has a priority same or higher than a priority of the primary cell, among the at least one non-primary cell.
