Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for determining a user equipment identifier in a wireless communication system supporting Device-to-Device (D2D) communication; and an apparatus for the method. More specifically, a method for determining an identifier of a UE in a wireless communication system supporting D2D communication comprises receiving, a first UE, a D2D signal including a D2D identifier from a second UE; and determining, the first UE, an identifier of the second UE on the basis of the received D2D identifier and measurement information of a cellular signal and/or information about resources in which the D2D signal is received.

Claims (22)

1. A method for determining, by a first user equipment (UE), an identifier (ID) of a second UE in a wireless communication system supporting device-to-device (D2D) communication, the method comprising:

receiving, from the second UE, a D2D signal including a D2D ID; and

determining the ID of the second UE based on the received D2D ID and measurement information of a cellular signal for each of the second UE and a third UE when the received D2D ID is same as a D2D ID of the third UE,

wherein the cellular signal is one of a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and a reference signal, and

wherein the ID of the second UE is determined based on an ID of a cell exhibiting the highest strength or quality of the cellular signal.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ID of the second UE is determined based on a combination of IDs of cells arranged in the order of strength or quality of the cellular signal.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the measurement information is at least one of Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ), Receive Strength Signal Indicator (RSSI), Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) or Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) measured by using the cellular signal.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, by the first UE, reference information for determining the ID of the second UE from a D2D server,

wherein the reference information includes:

a combination of a resource in which the D2D ID is received and the D2D ID, and mapping information of a UE ID, and

wherein the ID of the second UE is determined based on the reference information.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the reference information includes:

a combination of an ID of a cell arranged according to magnitude of a measurement value of strength or quality of the cellular signal and the D2D ID, and

mapping information of a UE ID.

6. A first user equipment (UE) for determining an identifier (ID) of a second UE in a wireless communication system supporting device-to-device (D2D) communication, the first UE comprising:

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

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to:

control the transceiver to receive a D2D signal including a D2D ID from the second UE, and

determine the ID of the second UE based on the D2D ID received by the transceiver and measurement information of a cellular signal for each of the second UE and a third UE when the received D2D ID is same as a D2D ID of the third UE,

wherein the cellular signal is one of a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and a reference signal, and

wherein the ID of the second UE is determined based on an ID of a cell exhibiting the highest strength or quality of the cellular signal.
