## Abstract

The present invention provides a method for performing a device-to-device (D2D) operation by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising the steps of: determining priorities of a plurality of D2D operations when the plurality of D2D operations simultaneously occur on a plurality of carriers; and performing one D2D operation among the plurality of D2D operations, on the basis of the priorities, wherein the simultaneous occurrence of the plurality of D2D operations on the plurality of carriers comprises the simultaneous occurrence of the plurality of D2D operation on the plurality of carriers in the same time domain.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for performing a first Device-to-Device (D2D) operation and a second D2D operation in a wireless communication system, the method performed by a user equipment (UE) and comprising:
determining priorities of the first D2D operation and the second D2D operation when the first D2D operation is performed on a first carrier and the second D2D operation is performed on a second carrier simultaneously; and
performing the first D2D operation and the second D2D operation simultaneously in a same time domain based on the priorities,
wherein a first coverage status of the UE on the first carrier is different from a second coverage status of the UE on the second carrier, and
wherein, when the first coverage status is in-coverage, the second coverage status is out-of-coverage, and
when the first coverage status is the out-of-coverage, the second coverage status is the in-coverage.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the UE determines the priorities based on at least one of a signal type based priority or a carrier type based priority.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The method of claim 2, wherein the UE determines the priorities based on the signal type based priority rather than the carrier type based priority.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, wherein the UE receives information informing that the signal type based priority is applied rather than the carrier type based priority when the UE determines the priorities.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The method of claim 2, wherein the UE determines the priorities based on the carrier type based priority rather than the signal type based priority.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5, wherein the UE receives information informing that the carrier type based priority is applied rather than the signal type based priority when the UE determines the priorities.

### Claim 7

A user equipment (UE), comprising:
a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a radio signal; and
a processor operating in association with the transceiver,
wherein the processor is configured to:
determine priorities of a first Device-to-Device (D2D) operation and a second D2D operation when the first D2D operation is performed on a first carrier and the second D2D operation is performed on a second carrier simultaneously; and
perform the first D2D operation and the second D2D operation simultaneously in a same time domain based on the priorities,
wherein a first coverage status of the UE on the first carrier is different from a second coverage status of the UE on the second carrier, and
wherein, when the first coverage status is in-coverage, the second coverage status is out-of-coverage, and
when the first coverage status is the out-of-coverage, the second coverage status is the in-coverage.
