Abstract

The present specification comprises the steps of: acquiring a resource pool to be used for D2D communication in a wireless communication system, the resource pool including a scheduling assignment (SA) resource pool indicating an SA transmission resource region and/or a data resource pool indicating a D2D data transmission resource region; transmitting an SA including information related to D2D data transmission to a second user equipment through the SA resource pool; and transmitting D2D data to the second user equipment, wherein the resource pool is received from a base station through a D2D grant, and the D2D grant includes first control information related to a transmission power control of the SA.

Claims (23)

1. A method for a first user equipment (UE) to perform Transmission Power Control (TPC) for Device to Device (D2D) communication in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station a resource pool used for the D2D communication,

the resource pool comprising at least one of a first resource pool indicating resource region for a D2D control information or a second resource pool indicating resource region for a D2D data;

transmitting, to a second UE, the D2D control information for scheduling the D2D data through the first resource pool; and

transmitting, to the second UE, the D2D data through the second resource pool,

wherein indication information related to TPC for the D2D control information and the D2D data is received from the base station through a first downlink control information, and

wherein if a change of the TPC corresponding to the D2D data is required, the method further comprises receiving, from the base station, another indication information related to another TPC for the D2D data through a second downlink control information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the indication information and the another indication information are TPC (Transmission Power Control) commands.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second downlink control information is received through a DCI format 3/3A.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the another indication information for each UE is configured in an index form.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a transmission period for the D2D control information is set longer than a transmission period for the D2D data.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein whether the change of the TPC corresponding to the D2D data is required is determined based on a degree of interference applied to the first UE.

7. A first user equipment (UE) for performing Transmission Power Control (TPC) for Device to Device (D2D) communication in a wireless communication system, the first UE comprising:

a Radio Frequency (RF) unit for transmitting and receiving radio signals; and

a processor functionally connected to the RF unit,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive, from a base station, a resource pool used for the D2D communication,

the resource pool comprising at least one of a first resource pool indicating resource region for a D2D control information or a second resource pool indicating resource region for a D2D data,

transmit, to a second UE, the D2D control information for scheduling the D2D data through the first resource pool, and

transmit, to the second UE, the D2D data through the second resource pool,

wherein indication information related to TPC for the D2D control information and the D2D data is received from the base station through a first downlink control information, and

wherein if a change of the TPC corresponding to the D2D data is required, the processor is configured to receive, from the base station, another information related to TPC for the D2D data through a second downlink control information.

8. The first UE of claim 7 , wherein whether the change of the TPC corresponding to the D2D data is required is determined based on a degree of interference applied to the first UE.
