A method and a device for the short range unicast communication, the method includes: receiving resource allocation request information from a terminal; in response to the resource allocation request information, when the terminal is an eMTC, configuring a reception resource pool for the terminal and informing the terminal about the configuration information of the reception resource pool; determining a destination terminal with which a transmitting terminal will directly communicate, and when the destination terminal is an eMTC terminal, allocating a transmission resource in a reception resource pool of the destination terminal to the transmitting terminal; and transmitting resource grant indication information to the transmitting terminal, where the resource grant indication information indicates the transmission resource and the destination terminal corresponding to the transmission resource. Accordingly, short range unicast communication with an eMTC terminal can be realized.
