Claim:
1. A method for transmitting information on interference for a device-to-device (D2D) connection in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: detecting, by a slave-user equipment (S-UE), an interference on one or more subframes allocated to a connection with a master-user equipment (M-UE); and after detecting the interference on one or more subframes, transmitting, by the S-UE, an in-device coexistence (IDC) indication to the M-UE when the S-UE is in a radio resource control (RRC) connected mode, wherein the IDC indication includes an identity of the S-UE, a D2D indicator informing that the interference is caused from a Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) network, and a subframe pattern informing which subframes undergo the interference, and wherein the IDC indication indicates when the S-UE is connected to a radio access network (RAN), a type of the RAN that the S-UE is connected to, and an identity of a cell that the S-UE is connected to.
