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 Long Term Evolution (LTE). An apparatus and method for avoiding interference in a wireless communication system, especially in a Device-to-Device (D2D) wireless communication system, are provided. The method includes creating system information including reception resource pool information to be used for the D2D wireless communication in a single radio frame, resource block information for the D2D wireless communication, and Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) information to be used for a cellular communication, and broadcasting the created system information to devices for performing the cellular communication and the D2D wireless communication.
