Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving discovery messages in a wireless communication system. Specifically, a method for transmitting and receiving discovery messages in a wireless communication system supporting communication between user equipments (UEs) includes receiving, by a UE in a Radio Resource Control_IDLE (RRC_IDLE) state, information about an allocated resource for transmitting a discovery message from a network and transmitting, by the UE, the discovery message in the resource for transmitting the discovery message. The resource for transmitting the discovery message may be allocated based on a tracking area in which the device is located.
Abstract:
This specification provides a method for performing a discovery procedure in a wireless communication system supporting device to device (D2D) communication. The method is performed by first user equipment and includes monitoring a discovery resource region, selecting a discovery resource for sending a discovery message in the discovery resource region, and transmitting the discovery message to second user equipment through the selected discovery resource. The discovery resource region includes a first discovery resource region and a second discovery resource region.
