Abstract

Provided is a method for device-to-device (D2D) signal transmission performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, and a terminal device using the method. The method is characterized by: receiving measurement carrier (MEA_CARRIER) indication information which indicates a single downlink carrier to be used in downlink measurement and synchronization for D2D operation; and using, for the downlink measurement and synchronization for D2D operation, the single downlink carrier indicated by the measurement carrier (MEA_CARRIER) indication information.

Claims (17)

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

performing synchronization and downlink measurements; and

transmitting the D2D discovery signal based on the synchronization and downlink measurements,

wherein when a second frequency on which the D2D discovery signal is to be transmitted is different from a first frequency on which the UE is connected with a base station, and when the UE is configured with measurement carrier indication information informing a third frequency,

the UE use the third frequency informed by the measurement carrier indication information as reference to perform the synchronization and the downlink measurements for the D2D discovery signal transmission.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein when there is not an active serving cell for the UE on the second frequency, the third frequency included in the measurement carrier indication information is used to perform the synchronization and the downlink measurements.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the third frequency is a frequency linked to the second frequency via system information.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the third frequency is a frequency not linked to the second frequency via system information.

5. A user equipment (UE) comprising:

a transceiver for transmitting and receiving a radio signal; and

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

perform synchronization and downlink measurements; and

transmit the D2D discovery signal based on the synchronization and downlink measurements,

wherein when a second frequency on which the D2D discovery signal is to be transmitted is different from a first frequency on which the UE is connected with a base station, and when the UE is configured with measurement carrier indication information informing a third frequency, the UE use the third frequency informed by the measurement carrier indication information as reference to perform the synchronization and the downlink measurements for the D2D discovery signal transmission.

6. The UE of claim 5 , wherein when there is not an active serving cell for the UE on the second frequency, the third frequency included in the measurement carrier indication information is used to perform the synchronization and the downlink measurements.

7. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the third frequency is a frequency linked to the second frequency via system information.

8. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the third frequency is a frequency not linked to the second frequency via system information.
