Claim Text:
1. A method for allowing a first terminal to transmit first data, comprising: forming a first cluster including the first terminal and a second terminal performing cooperation communication with the first terminal; forming a second cluster including a third terminal and a fourth terminal; transmitting second data, which is included in the first data, from the first terminal to the second terminal using a first resource; and transmitting, by the first terminal, the first data using a second resource that is different from the first resource to a target node that is outside of the first cluster in cooperation with the second terminal, each of the first and second resources being reusable for data transmission within the first cluster and data transmission to the target node at different times, transmitting, by the first cluster, third data to the target node using the second resource in a first period; sharing, by the fourth terminal, fourth data with the third terminal using the second resource for the cooperation communication in the first period, transmitting, by the second cluster, fifth data to the target node using a third resource in a second period; and sharing, by the first terminal, sixth data with the second terminal using the third resource for the cooperation communication in the second period.
