Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates beyond 4th-generation (4G) communication system such as a long term evolution (LTE). The present disclosure relates to a method of an evolved node B (eNB), comprising: transmitting at least one of first information as information on at least one first type-discovery resource pool including first type-discovery resources and second information as information on at least one second type-discovery resource pool including second type-discovery resources, or transmitting discovery resource information on at least one discovery resource which corresponds to a discovery resource type requested from a user equipment (UE).

Claims (32)

1. A method of a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a user equipment (UE), a discovery resource request message for requesting resources for discovery messages, wherein the discovery resource request message includes non-public safety (PS) resource request information when requesting the resources for non-public safety (PS) discovery messages, and PS resource request information when requesting the resources for PS discovery messages;

allocating:

at least one resource for the non-PS discovery messages when the non-PS resource request information includes information indicating a number of the non-PS discovery messages to be transmitted by the UE in a discovery period, and

at least one resource for the PS discovery messages when the PS resource request information includes information indicating a number of the PS discovery messages to be transmitted by the UE in the discovery period; and

transmitting, to the UE using a radio resource control (RRC) connection reconfiguration:

when allocating the at least one resource for the non-PS discovery messages, first information indicating the at least one resource for the non-PS discovery messages, and

when allocating the at least one resource for the PS discovery messages, second information indicating the at least one resource for the PS discovery messages,

wherein the number of the non-PS discovery messages is related to a quantity of the resources required for transmitting the non-PS discovery messages and the number of the PS discovery messages is related to a quantity of the resources required for transmitting the PS discovery messages, and

wherein the non-PS resource request information further includes information of a first frequency on which the UE transmits the non-PS discovery messages and the PS resource request information further includes information of a second frequency on which the UE transmits the PS discovery messages, the first frequency is different from the second frequency.

2. A method of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a base station, a discovery resource request message for requesting resources for discovery messages, wherein the discovery resource request message includes non-public safety (PS) resource request information when requesting the resources for non-public safety (PS) discovery messages, and PS resource request information when requesting the resources for PS discovery messages; and

receiving, from the base station, based on the non-PS resource request information, first information indicating at least one resource for the non-PS discovery messages and based on the PS resource request information, second information indicating at least one resource for the PS discovery messages using a radio resource control (RRC) connection reconfiguration,

wherein the at least one resource for the non-PS discovery messages is allocated by the base station based on the non-PS resource request information including information indicating a number of the non-PS discovery messages to be transmitted by the UE in a discovery period and the at least one resource for the PS discovery messages is allocated by the base station based on the PS resource request information including information indicating a number of the PS discovery messages to be transmitted by the UE in the discovery period,

wherein the number of the non-PS discovery messages is related to a quantity of the resources required for transmitting the non-PS discovery messages and the number of the PS discovery messages is related to a quantity of the resources required for transmitting the PS discovery messages, and

wherein the non-PS resource request information further includes information of a first frequency on which the UE transmits the non-PS discovery messages and the PS resource request information further includes information of a second frequency on which the UE transmits the PS discovery messages, the first frequency is different from the second frequency.

3. A base station in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor configured to:

receive, via the transceiver from a user equipment (UE), a discovery resource request message for requesting resources for discovery messages, wherein the discovery resource request message includes non-public safety (PS) resource request information when requesting the resources for non-public safety (PS) discovery messages, and PS resource request information when requesting the resources for PS discovery messages;

allocate at least one resource for the non-PS discovery messages when the non-PS resource request information includes information indicating a number of the non-PS discovery messages to be transmitted by the UE in a discovery period and at least one resource for the PS discovery messages when the PS resource request information including information indicating a number of the PS discovery messages to be transmitted by the UE in the discovery period; and

transmit, via the transceiver to the UE using a radio resource control (RRC) connection reconfiguration: first information indicating the at least one resource for the non-PS discovery messages, and when allocating the at least one resource for the PS discovery messages, second information indicating the at least one resource for the PS discovery messages,

wherein the number of the non-PS discovery messages is related to a quantity of the resources required for transmitting the non-PS discovery messages and the number of the PS discovery messages is related to a quantity of the resources required for transmitting the PS discovery messages, and

wherein the non-PS resource request information further includes information of a first frequency on which the UE transmits the non-PS discovery messages and the PS resource request information further includes information of a second frequency on which the UE transmits the PS discovery messages, the first frequency is different from the second frequency.

4. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor configured to:

transmit, via the transceiver to a base station, a discovery resource request message for requesting resources for discovery messages, wherein the discovery resource request message includes non-public safety (PS) resource request information when requesting the resources for non-public safety (PS) discovery messages, and PS resource request information when requesting the resources for PS discovery messages; and

receive, via the transceiver from the base station, based on the non-PS resource request information, first information indicating at least one resource for the non-PS discovery messages and based on the PS resource request information, second information indicating at least one resource for the PS discovery messages using a radio resource control (RRC) connection reconfiguration,

wherein the at least one resource for the non-PS discovery messages is allocated by the base station based on the non-PS resource request information including information indicating a number of the non-PS discovery messages to be transmitted by the UE in a discovery period and the at least one resource for the PS discovery messages is allocated by the base station based on the PS resource request information including information indicating a number of the PS discovery messages to be transmitted by the UE in the discovery period,

wherein the number of the non-PS discovery messages is related to a quantity of the resources required for transmitting the non-PS discovery messages and the number of the PS discovery messages is related to a quantity of the resources required for transmitting the PS discovery messages, and
