Abstract

One embodiment of the present invention relates to a method by which a user equipment (UE) performs ranging in a wireless communication system, comprising the steps of: transmitting a D2D signal in a subframe N by a first UE; receiving the D2D signal in a subframe N+K from a second UE, which has set, as a subframe boundary, a time point at which the D2D signal is received; and measuring, by the first UE, a round trip time (RTT) by detecting a reception time point of the D2D signal transmitted by the second UE.

Claims (23)

1. A method of performing ranging, which is performed by a first user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, comprising:

transmitting a D2D discovery signal in a subframe N by the first UE;

receiving a D2D signal in a subframe N+K from a second UE; and

measuring RTT (round trip time), by the first UE, by detecting timing at which the D2D signal transmitted by the second UE is received,

wherein the subframe N+K in which the D2D signal is received has a subframe boundary configured based on a reception timing at the second UE of the D2D discovery signal; and

wherein the K corresponds to a value configured by a network and wherein if the subframe N+K is not a D2D subframe, the K corresponds to a D2D subframe closest to the subframe N+K.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RTT is obtained by dividing a difference between the timing at which the D2D signal transmitted by the second UE is received and a start point of the subframe N+K subframe by electromagnetic wave speed.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the N and the K is configured by a network.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the D2D signal transmitted by the second UE comprises location information of the first UE.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the location information of the first UE comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of latitude, longitude, and height.

6. A user equipment (UE) for performing ranging in a

wireless communication system, comprising:

a transmitter and a receiver; and

a processor coupled to the transmitter and receiver, wherein the processor is configured to;

transmit a D2D discovery signal in a subframe N,

receive a D2D signal in a subframe N+K from a second UE,

measure RTT (round trip time) by detecting timing at which the D2D signal transmitted by the second UE is received,

wherein the subframe N+K in which the D2D signal is received has a subframe boundary configured based on a reception timing at the second UE of the D2D discovery signal; and

wherein the K corresponds to a value configured by a network and wherein if the subframe N+K is not a D2D subframe, the K corresponds to a D2D subframe closest to the subframe N+K.

7. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the RTT is obtained by dividing a difference between the timing at which the D2D signal transmitted by the second UE is received and a start point of the subframe N+K subframe by electromagnetic wave speed.

8. The UE of claim 6 , wherein at least one of the N and the K is configured by a network.

9. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the D2D signal transmitted by the second UE comprises location information of the first UE.

10. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the location information of the first UE comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of latitude, longitude, and height.
