A method for allocating resources in Device-to-Device (D2D) communication in a wireless network is provided. The method includes requesting, by a device, resource allocation from an enhanced Node B (eNB) and causing the device to be allocated, from the eNB, a Resource Block (RB) for transmitting one of D2D discovery and communication data and control information. The RB includes information about a location of the resource-allocated time or frequency.
