Abstract

Provided are a method and a wireless device for transmitting a data packet in a wireless communication system. The wireless device engages in peer discovery with a receiver and monitors whether transmission (TX) scheduling information from a base station is received. A data packet is transmitted to the receiver on the basis of the TX scheduling information. The TX scheduling information comprises resource allocation information indicating resource allocation for transmitting the data packet, identification information indicating an identifier for the receiver; and information indicating whether the TX scheduling information is for TX scheduling or reception (RX) scheduling.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of transmitting a data packet in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
performing, by a transmitter, a peer discovery with a receiver;
monitoring, by the transmitter, whether scheduling information is received from a base station;
wherein a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidate is decoded in a search space of a subframe; and when the decoding is successful, the scheduling information is received in a corresponding PDCCH; and
transmitting, by the transmitter, the data packet to the receiver based on the scheduling information,
wherein the scheduling information is configured within a downlink control information (DCI) format 0, which is used for a scheduling of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in an uplink cell, and
wherein the DCI format 0 includes:
a resource allocation field for indicating a resource allocation used in a transmission or reception of the data packet,
a transmission/reception field for indicating whether the scheduling information is for a transmission scheduling or a reception scheduling, and
an identification field for indicating an identifier of the receiver receiving the data packet when the scheduling information is the transmission scheduling, or an identifier of the transmitter transmitting the data packet when the scheduling information is the reception scheduling.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PDCCH candidate is decoded based on an identifier for device-to-device (D2D) communication.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the search space is defined based on the identifier for the D2D communication.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subframe is selected to monitor the scheduling information among a plurality of subframes.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting, by the transmitter, a request of the scheduling information to the base station.

6. A wireless device for transmitting a data packet in a wireless communication system, the wireless device comprising:
a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a radio signal; and
a processor operatively coupled to the transceiver and configured to:
perform a peer discovery with a receiver via the transceiver;
monitor whether scheduling information is received from a base station;
wherein a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidate is decoded in a search space of a subframe; and when the decoding is successful, the scheduling information is received in a corresponding PDCCH; and
transmit the data packet to the receiver based on the scheduling information via the transceiver,
wherein the scheduling information is configured within a downlink control information (DCI) format 0, which is used for a scheduling of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in an uplink cell, and
wherein the DCI format 0 includes:
a resource allocation field for indicating a resource allocation used in a transmission or reception of the data packet,
a transmission/reception field for indicating whether the scheduling information is for a transmission scheduling or a reception scheduling, and
an identification field for indicating an identifier of the receiver receiving the data packet when the scheduling information is the transmission scheduling, or an identifier of the transmitter transmitting the data packet when the scheduling information is the reception scheduling.

7. The wireless device of claim 6 , wherein the PDCCH candidate is decoded based on an identifier for device-to-device (D2D) communication.

8. The wireless device of claim 7 , wherein the search space is defined based on the identifier for the D2D communication.

9. The wireless device of claim 6 , wherein the subframe is selected to monitor the scheduling information among a plurality of subframes.
