Method of performing direct communication between terminals, method of supporting same, and apparatus for same

A method for supporting device-to-device (D2D) communication by a base station in a wireless communication system supporting D2D communication, the method comprising:

• receiving a bandwidth request for D2D communication and information about a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) including D2D link information from a D2D user equipment (UE) through a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH);
• receiving, according to the received information about the PUSCH, the D2D link information including at least one of received signal power or signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) information about a D2D link between the D2D UE and at least one first D2D UE transmitting a transmission request signal for the D2D UE and interference information about an interference level caused by at least one second D2D UE transmitting a transmission request signal for other D2D UEs other than the D2D UE, from the D2D UE receiving the transmission request signal from the at least one first D2D UE, wherein the interference information includes at least one identifier of the at least one second D2D UE;
• and
• configuring one or more D2D links between the D2D UE and the at least one first D2D UE based on at least one of the received signal power or signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) information and the interference information,
• wherein information about the configured D2D links includes information about a D2D UE pair for performing D2D communication.

A device-to-device (D2D) user equipment (UE) for performing D2D communication in a wireless communication system supporting D2D communication, the D2D UE comprising:

• a receiver configured to receive signals;
• a transmitter configured to transmit signals;
• and
• a processor configured to control the receiver and the transmitter, wherein the processor is further configured to:
• receive transmission request signals from other D2D UEs,
• detect a transmission request signal for the D2D UE from at least one first D2D UE among the other D2D UEs,
• when the transmission request signal from the at least one first D2D UE is detected, measure a received signal power or a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the received transmission request signals,
• generate, based on the measurement, D2D link information including at least one of received signal power or SNR information about a D2D link between the D2D UE and the at least one first D2D UE and interference information about an interference level caused by the at least one second D2D UE;
• among the other D2D UEs, wherein the interference information includes at least one identifier of the at least one second D2D UE,
• transmit a bandwidth request for D2D communication and information about a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) including the generated D2D link information to a base station through a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), and
• transmit the generated D2D link information to the base station through the PUSCH.
