Abstract:
A method and apparatus for supporting a device-to-device (D 2 D) communication between user equipments (UEs) are provided. The method of a device-to-device (D 2 D) communication between user equipments (UEs), the method includes: receiving, at a transmission (Tx) UE, resource assignment information transmitted from an evolved NodeB (eNB), the resource assignment information being associated with a D 2 D discovery signal to be transmitted in a discovery period; determining, at the Tx UE, that a D 2 D discovery signal associated with a first discovery type and a D 2 D discovery signal associated with a second discovery type are to be transmitted in a first subframe included in the discovery period; and in the first subframe, transmitting the D 2 D discovery signal associated with the second discovery type and dropping the D 2 D discovery signal associated with the first discovery type.

Claim (Index 1):
A transmission (Tx) user equipment (UE) to execute a device-to-device (D2D) communication with a reception (Rx) UE, the Tx UE comprising:\n a wireless transceiver configured to:\n receive resource assignment information transmitted from an evolved NodeB (eNB), the resource assignment information being associated with a D2D discovery signal to be transmitted in a discovery period; and \n transmit a D2D discovery signal to a Rx UE; and \n one or more processors configured to:\n determine that a D2D discovery signal associated with a first discovery type and a D2D discovery signal associated with a second discovery type are to be transmitted in a first subframe included in the discovery period; and \n in the first subframe, transmit the D2D discovery signal associated with the second discovery type and drop the D2D discovery signal associated with the first discovery type, \n wherein the one or more processor is configured to drop a D2D control signal transmission in response to determining that a D2D discovery signal and the D2D control signal are to be transmitted in a second subframe, and wherein in the second subframe, the wireless transceiver is configured to transmit the D2D discovery signal without transmitting the D2D control signal, wherein the second subframe is included in the discovery period.
