Abstract

A method for device-to-device (D2D) operation performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, and a terminal using the method are provided. The method comprises: receiving system information including reception resource pool information; and receiving a D2D signal by using resources indicated by the reception resource pool information, wherein the reception resource pool information indicates resources for which receiving the D2D signal is allowed during a radio resource control (RRC) idle state and an RRC connected state.

Claims (19)

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

receiving system information including reception resource pool information; and

receiving a D2D signal using resources informed by the reception resource pool information,

wherein the reception resource pool information informs resources in which reception of the D2D signal is allowed while in a radio resource control (RRC) idle state and while in an RRC connected state,

wherein, when the UE receives the system information including the reception resource pool information in the RRC idle state, the UE receives the D2D signal using the resources informed by the reception resource pool information, even in a case that the UE is switched from the RRC idle state to the RRC connected state, and

wherein, when the system information further includes exceptional resource information, the UE transmits another D2D signal using resources informed by the exceptional resource information if the UE detects a radio link failure at a cell providing the system information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the system information is broadcasted.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the D2D signal is a signal for a D2D communication or a signal for a D2D discovery.

4. A user equipment (UE) for operating in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

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

a processor operatively connected to the transceiver,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive system information including reception resource pool information; and

receive a device-to-device (D2D) signal using resources informed by the reception resource pool information,

wherein the reception resource pool information informs resources in which reception of the D2D signal is allowed while in a radio resource control (RRC) idle state and while in an RRC connected state, and

wherein, when the UE receives the system information including the reception resource pool information in the RRC idle state, the UE receives the D2D signal using the resources informed by the reception resource pool information, even in a case that the UE is switched from the RRC idle state to the RRC connected state, and

wherein, when the system information further includes exceptional resource information, the UE transmits another D2D signal using resources informed by the exceptional resource information if the UE detects a radio link failure at a cell providing the system information.

5. The UE of claim 4 , wherein the system information is broadcasted.

6. The UE of claim 4 , wherein the D2D signal is a signal for a D2D communication or a signal for a D2D discovery.
