Low power operation method of terminal supporting direct communication, and apparatus for the same

An operation method of a sidelink (SL) transmitting terminal for supporting low power consumption operations of a SL receiving terminal, the operation method comprising:

• receiving sidelink-discontinuous reception (SL-DRX) assistance information for configuring DRX for SL communication from the SL receiving terminal;
• and
• transmitting configuration information of DRX parameters for the SL communication configured based on the SL-DRX assistance information to the SL receiving terminal,
• wherein the DRX parameters for the SL communication are determined by the SL transmitting terminal or a base station to which the SL transmitting terminal is connected based on the SL-DRX assistance information.

An operation method of a base station for supporting low power consumption operations of a sidelink (SL) receiving terminal, the operation method comprising:

• receiving sidelink-discontinuous reception (SL-DRX) assistance information for configuring DRX for SL communication from the SL receiving terminal through a SL transmitting terminal for the SL receiving terminal;
• and
• transmitting configuration information of DRX parameters for the SL communication configured based on the SL-DRX assistance information to the SL receiving terminal through the SL transmitting terminal,
• wherein the DRX parameters for the SL communication are determined by the base station based on the SL-DRX assistance information.
