Abstract

A method for supporting a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) communication in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes identifying whether a Mobile Station (MS) is in a wireless communication active state, a P2P active state, or a P2P previous active state, and transiting to the P2P active state if a P2P connection request occurs in the P2P previous active state and transiting to the P2P previous active state if a P2P communication termination occurs in the P2P active state.
