A device and a method for performing Device to Device (D2D) communication in a wireless communication system are provided. The method includes transmitting information on a self-frequency band selected from all frequency bands for the D2D communication, to the second mobile station, receiving information on a counterpart-frequency band selected for the D2D communication, from the second mobile station, determining transmission and reception frequency bands to be used for the D2D communication, based on the information on the self-frequency band and the information on the counterpart-frequency band, transmitting data to the second mobile station in the determined transmission frequency band, and receiving data from the second mobile station in the determined reception frequency band.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for performing a state transition for Device to Device (D2D) communication are provided. The method includes determining whether D2D initiation is required, while a terminal is operating in a first or a second state defined by EPS (Enhanced Packet System) Mobility Management (EMM)-Deregistered and EPS Connection Management (ECM)-IDLE at a Non-Access Stratum (NAS) layer and Radio Resource Control (RRC)-IDLE. If the D2D initiation is required, the method includes transitioning to a third state defined by EMM-Registered and ECM/RRC-Connected and performing the D2D initiation through a mobile communication network. If a deactivation condition is satisfied or a D2D state update is completed in the third state, the method includes transitioning to a fourth state defined by EMM-Registered and ECM/RRC-IDLE, and if a state update or scheduling for D2D communication is required in the fourth state, the method includes transitioning to the third state.

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a fifth generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a fourth generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure applies to intelligent services based on 5G communications technology and IoT related technology, such as a smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, and security and safety services.A method for managing resources for Device to Device (D2D) communication includes: establishing a radio connection with an evolved NodeB (eNB); receiving allocated resources for D2D communication from the eNB through the radio connection; performing the D2D communication by using the allocated resources in an idle state after the radio connection is released; and responsive to receiving a message from the eNB indicating a release of the allocated resources, releasing the allocated resources.
Abstract:
A method to manage a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection in an evolved NodeB (eNB) in a wireless communication system supporting a Device to Device (D2D) scheme is provided. The method includes starting an inactivity timer to control a User Equipment (UE) to transition into an RRC idle state after setting up an RRC connection with the UE. The method also includes allocating a D2D resource to the UE when a resource request message to request the D2D resource for a direct communication between UEs is received from the UE. The method further includes transmitting a resource response message including information related to the allocated D2D resource to the UE and stopping the inactivity timer. The method includes releasing the allocated D2D resource and restarting the inactivity timer based on a predetermined option.
