Method and apparatus for performing D2D operation in wireless communication system
A method and apparatus for performing a device-to-device (D2D) operation in a wireless communication system is provided. In one embodiment, a user equipment (UE) receives a configuration of a reference timing for a cell of first carrier, based on a timing of a primary cell (PCell) of a second carrier, and performs D2D operation with another UE on the cell of the first carrier according to the reference timing. In another embodiment, a UE allocates a D2D transmission power based on an uplink (UL) transmission power for dual connectivity, and performs D2D operation with another UE according to the D2D transmission power.
1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
establishing connection with a master eNB (MeNB), and a first secondary eNB (SeNB);
performing synchronization with a timing of the MeNB;
receiving information on a first resource pool for a device-to-device (D2D) operation from the MeNB, wherein the first resource pool is configured on a first frequency provided by the first SeNB;
performing the D2D operation based on the first resource pool and the timing of the MeNB;
while maintaining connection with the MeNB, performing SeNB change from the first SeNB to a second SeNB;
receiving information on a second resource pool for the D2D operation from the MeNB, wherein the second resource pool is configured on a second frequency provided by the second SeNB; and
performing the D2D operation based on the second resource pool and the timing of the MeNB,
wherein the MeNB and the SeNB are not synchronized.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cell of the first carrier includes a primary secondary cell (PSCell).
3. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
a transceiver; and
a processor, operatively coupled to the transceiver, wherein the processor is configured to:
establish connection with a master eNB (MeNB), and a first secondary eNB (SeNB);
perform synchronization with a timing of the MeNB;
control the transceiver to receive information on a first resource pool for a device-to-device (D2D) operation from the MeNB, wherein the first resource pool is configured on a first frequency provided by the first SeNB;
perform the D2D operation UE based on the first resource pool and the timing of the MeNB;
while maintaining connection with the MeNB, perform SeNB change from the first SeNB to a second SeNB;
control the transceiver to receive information on a second resource pool for the D2D operation from the MeNB, wherein the second resource pool is configured on a second frequency provided by the second SeNB; and
perform the D2D operation based on the second resource pool and the timing of the MeNB,
wherein the MeNB and the SeNB are not synchronized.
4. The method for claim 1 , wherein the UE is configured to perform both wide area network (WAN) operation and the D2D operation, and further comprising:
control transmission power for the D2D operation by prioritizing the WAN operation over the D2D operation.
