Abstract

A method for transmitting a signal by a Device-to-Device (D2D) User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method includes determining a resource pool for a D2D control signal, determining a resource pool for a D2D communication signal based on the resource pool for a D2D control signal, and transmitting a D2D communication signal using the resource pool for a D2D communication signal. Subframes of the resource pool for a D2D communication signal were reindexed, starting from a first subframe following a last subframe of the resource pool for a D2D control signal.

Claims (18)

1. A method for transmitting a sidelink communication signal by a sidelink User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

determining a resource pool of a sidelink control signal;

determining a resource pool for a sidelink communication signal based on the resource pool of the sidelink control signal; and

transmitting the sidelink communication signal based on the resource pool for the sidelink communication signal,

wherein subframes of the resource pool for the sidelink communication signal are firstly reindexed, starting from a first subframe following a last subframe of the resource pool of the sidelink control signal,

wherein the firstly reindexed subframes are secondly reindexed with a modulo 10 operation.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the secondly reindexed subframes are used for frequency hopping of the sidelink communication signal.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein slot indexes of the secondly reindexed subframes are used for frequency hopping of the sidelink communication signal.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein if a duplex mode of the sidelink UE is Time Division Duplex (TDD), the first subframe is an uplink subframe following the last subframe of the resource pool of the sidelink control signal.

5. A sidelink User Equipment (UE) for transmitting a sidelink communication signal in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transmission module; and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to determine a resource pool of a sidelink control signal, determine a resource pool for a sidelink communication signal based on the resource pool of the sidelink control signal, and transmit the sidelink communication signal using the resource pool for the sidelink communication signal, and

wherein subframes of the resource pool for the sidelink communication signal are firstly reindexed, starting from a first subframe following a last subframe of the resource pool of the sidelink control signal,

wherein the firstly reindexed subframes are secondly reindexed with a modulo 10 operation.

6. The UE according to claim 5 , wherein the secondly reindexed subframes are used for frequency hopping of the sidelink communication signal.

7. The UE according to claim 5 , wherein slot indexes of the secondly reindexed subframes are used for frequency hopping of the sidelink communication signal.

8. The UE according to claim 5 , wherein if a duplex mode of the sidelink UE is Time Division Duplex (TDD), the first subframe is an uplink subframe following the last subframe of the resource pool of the sidelink control signal.
