Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and an apparatus for allocating a device-to-device (D2D) communication resource. The method for allocating a device-to-device D2D communication resource in the present invention comprises: receiving, by a first network device, a device-to-device D2D communication capability sent by a user device within coverage; sending, by the first network device according to the communication capability, a resource identifier to each user device within the coverage of the first network device in a D2D group, where the D2D group includes at least two user devices; and sending, by the first network device, a resource allocation message, where the resource allocation message carries D2D communication resource allocation information corresponding to the resource identifier.
