APPRATUS AND METHOD FOR COMMUNICATING DEVICE TO DEVICE IN AN WIRELESS NETWORK

摘要

A method of a source device for transmitting a discovery signal to support an application based on device-to-device (D2D) communications in a wireless network and an apparatus for the same are provided in an embodiment of the present invention. To this end, when an application is selected among one or more applications to be installed in the source device, transmission power of the discovery signal for discovering a target device to conduct the D2D communications for the selected application based on range control information defined for the selected application is controlled, and the discovery signal is transmitted with the controlled transmission power.
