Abstract

A method for performing communication by a device-to-device (D2D) user equipment (UE) performing D2D communication in a wireless communication system supporting the D2D communication, comprises receiving a transmission request signal for D2D communication from at least one other D2D UE; measuring a received signal power or a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the received at least one transmission request signal; generating, based on the measurement, D2D link information including at least one of received signal power or SNR information about a D2D link between the D2D UE and the at least one other D2D UE and information about an interference level caused by the at least one other D2D UE; and transmitting the generated D2D link information and a bandwidth request for D2D communication to a base station.
