Abstract

Provided are a method for performing device-to-device (D2D) operation of a terminal in a wireless communication system, and a terminal using the same. The method is characterized by applying frequency synchronization on the basis of a primary cell of a first frequency, applying time synchronization on the basis of a non-serving cell of a second frequency for which D2D operation is to be performed, and performing the D2D operation on the basis of the frequency synchronization and the time synchronization.

Claims (22)

1. A method for performing a sidelink operation of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving an indicator informing a downlink carrier from a base station;

adjusting time synchronization and frequency synchronization for the sidelink operation; and

performing the sidelink operation based on the time synchronization and the frequency synchronization,

wherein:

when the UE is in a radio resource control (RRC) connected state with a primary cell at a first frequency and when the UE has to perform the sidelink operation at a second frequency different from the first frequency,

if there is a serving cell activated at the second frequency, the UE adjusts the frequency synchronization for the sidelink operation based on the primary cell at the first frequency and adjusts the time synchronization for the sidelink operation based on the serving cell at the second frequency, and

if there is no serving cell activated at the second frequency, the UE adjusts the frequency synchronization for the sidelink operation based on the primary cell at the first frequency and adjusts the time synchronization for the sidelink operation based on a serving cell at the downlink carrier informed by the indicator.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sidelink operation is one of signal transmission associated with sidelink communication or signal transmission associated with sidelink discovery.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein frequency synchronization and time synchronization values between the primary cell and the non-serving cell are less than or equal to a predetermined value.

4. A user equipment comprising:

a transceiver for transmitting and receiving a radio signal; and

a processor coupled to the transceiver, wherein the processor is configured to:

receives an indicator informing a downlink carrier from a base station,

adjust time synchronization and frequency synchronization for the sidelink operation, and

perform the sidelink operation based on the time synchronization and the frequency synchronization,

wherein:

when the UE is in a radio resource control (RRC) connected state with a primary cell at a first frequency and when the UE has to perform the sidelink operation at a second frequency different from the first frequency,

if there is a serving cell activated at the second frequency, the UE adjusts the frequency synchronization for the sidelink operation based on the primary cell at the first frequency and adjusts the time synchronization for the sidelink operation based on the serving cell at the second frequency, and

if there is no serving cell activated at the second frequency, the UE adjusts the frequency synchronization for the sidelink operation based on the primary cell at the first frequency and adjusts the time synchronization for the sidelink operation based on a serving cell at the downlink carrier informed by the indicator.

5. The user equipment of claim 4 , wherein the sidelink operation is one of signal transmission associated with sidelink communication or signal transmission associated with sidelink discovery.

6. The user equipment of claim 4 , wherein frequency synchronization and time synchronization values between the primary cell and the non-serving cell are less than or equal to a predetermined value.
