Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus which enable a terminal to transmit a signal for device-to-device (D2D) communication in a wireless communication system. Specifically, the present invention transmits a synchronization signal for D2D communication and a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) for demodulation of the synchronization signal, wherein the base sequence of the demodulation reference signal is generated using a synchronization reference ID.

Claims (17)

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

generating, by the UE, a plurality of bits for a physical channel carrying synchronization information for the D2D communication, the plurality of bits generated using a synchronization identity for the D2D communication; and

transmitting, by the UE to another UE, the physical channel based on the generated plurality of bits and a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) associated with the physical channel,

wherein an orthogonal cover code (OCC) is applied to the DM-RS by the UE, the OCC being determined using the synchronization identity for the D2D communication, and

wherein a cyclic shift for the DM-RS is determined based on a first value modulo 8 and the first value is a floor function of the synchronization identity divided by 2.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the OCC for the DM-RS is determined using one lower bit of the synchronization identity for the D2D communication.

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

a radio frequency (RF) unit; and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to:

generate a plurality of bits for a physical channel carrying synchronization information for the D2D communication, the plurality of bits generated using a synchronization identity for the D2D communication; and

transmit to another UE the physical channel based on the generated plurality of bits and a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) associated with the physical channel, and

wherein an orthogonal cover code (OCC) is applied to the DM-RS by the UE, the OCC being determined using the synchronization identity for the D2D communication, and

wherein a cyclic shift for the DM-RS is determined based on a first value modulo 8 and the first value is a floor function of the synchronization identity divided by 2.

4. The UE according to claim 3 , wherein the OCC for the DM-RS is determined using one lower bit of the synchronization identity for the D2D communication.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the OCC is determined by a modulo 2 operation of the one lower bit of the synchronization identity for the D2D communication.

6. The UE according to claim 4 , wherein the OCC is determined by a modulo 2 operation of the one lower bit of the synchronization identity for the D2D communication.
