Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method and a device for generating a CID for D2D communication are provided. A transmitting device transmits a request for direct communication between the transmitting device and a receiving device on a resource unit of a first resource index determined based upon at least one of a device ID of the transmitting device or of the receiving device during a first period, receives information about at least one used CID being used by at least one surrounding device from the peripheral device during a second period, transmits information including at least one available CID acquired during the second period on a resource unit of a second resource index being identical to the first resource index during a third period, and determines at least one CID to be used for D2D communication between the transmitting device and the receiving device based on the transmitted information.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).
