Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for transmitting a device-to-device (D2D) synchronization signal of a first terminal in a wireless communication system. Specifically, the method comprises the steps of: receiving a radio resource setting for D2D communication; and transmitting a D2D synchronization signal to a second radio resource which corresponds to a specific index, other than a first radio resource, from among a plurality of radio resource setting-based D2D radio resources, wherein the first radio resource is defined to be used for wide area network (WAN) based communication.

Claims (23)

1. A method for receiving a device-to-device (D2D) synchronization signal by a D2D terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving information related to radio resource configuration for D2D communication,

wherein the information related to radio resource configuration comprises information for receiving the D2D synchronization signal;

receiving the D2D synchronization signal based on the information related to radio resource configuration;

deriving a subframe index through which the D2D synchronization signal is transmitted from a sequence repetition pattern of the D2D synchronization signal; and

deriving a root sequence index of the D2D synchronization signal from the subframe index.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the subframe index is obtained by applying a predetermined offset to an index based on an uplink-downlink configuration for Wide Area Network (WAN) based communication.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the subframe index is predefined, and

wherein the D2D synchronization signal indicates a position of a window having a predetermined period in which the D2D synchronization signal is received, in a radio resource corresponding to the subframe index.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the D2D synchronization signal includes information indicating the number of relays for D2D communication.

5. The method according to claim 4 ,

wherein the D2D synchronization signal includes information of a hop count and a system frame number.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the D2D synchronization signal is a sidelink synchronization signal.

7. A device-to-device (D2D) terminal for receiving a D2D synchronization signal in a wireless communication system, the D2D terminal comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit; and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to:

control the RF unit to receive information related to radio resource configuration for D2D communication,

wherein the information related to radio resource configuration comprises information for receiving the D2D synchronization signal;

control the RF unit to receive the D2D synchronization signal based on the information related to radio resource configuration;

derive a subframe index through which the D2D synchronization signal is transmitted from a sequence repetition pattern of the D2D synchronization signal; and

derive a root sequence index of the D2D synchronization signal from the subframe index.

8. The D2D terminal according to claim 7 , wherein the subframe index is obtained by applying a predetermined offset to an index based on an uplink-downlink configuration for Wide Area Network (WAN) based communication.
