Apparatus and method for switching between default path and direct path in wireless communication system

摘要

A method for controlling a path between terminals in a wireless communication system includes measuring a channel quality of a direct path with the another terminal when receiving a request for measuring the channel quality of the direct path from a higher entity, transmitting a first message comprising a result of the measuring the channel quality to the higher entity, and, when receiving a second message to instruct to switch to the direct path from the higher entity, setting the direct path with the another terminal. another embodiments including a terminal and a network entity are also disclosed.
