Method and apparatus for allocating resources for V2X communication

A method of allocating resources for D2D communication by an evolved Node B (eNB), the method comprising:

• acquiring a movement direction according to a user equipment (UE);
• allocating UEs having an equal movement direction to an equal resource pool by using the acquired movement direction according to the UE;
• and
• transmitting information related to the resource pool to the UEs,
• wherein allocating the UEs having the equal movement direction to the equal resource pool comprises:
• allocating the resource pool according to a predetermined movement direction, and
• allocating a resource pool mapped to a movement direction equal to the acquired movement direction according to the UE as the resource pool of a corresponding UE.

A user equipment (UE) for allocating resources for D2D communication, the UE comprising:

• a transceiver configured to:
• receive, from an evolved Node B (eNB), information indicating a plurality of resource pools allocated for D2D communication, wherein the plurality of resource pools are mapped differently to a plurality of movement directions and configured to allocate UEs having an equal movement direction to an equal resource pool, and
• a controller configured to:
• identify a movement direction of the UE;
• and
• select a resource pool mapped according to the identified movement direction from among a plurality of resource pools allocated differently according to a plurality of movement directions, wherein the plurality of resource.

An evolved node B (eNB) for allocating resources for D2D communication, the eNB comprising:

• a controller configured to:
• acquire a movement direction according to a user equipment (UE), and
• allocate UEs having an equal movement direction to an equal resource pool by using the acquired movement direction according to the UE;
• and
• a transceiver configured to transmit information related to the resource pool to the UEs according to an instruction of the controller,
• wherein the controller is further configured to:
• allocate a resource pool according to a predetermined movement direction, and
• allocate a resource pool mapped to a movement direction equal to the acquired movement direction according to the UE as the resource pool of a corresponding UE.
