Abstract

Disclosed is a method and apparatus for scheduling in a cellular-based device-to-device (D2D) communication. The method of scheduling a cellular resource used in a base station for a D2D communication between terminals may include grouping, by a proximity coordinator, a cellular resource of an adjacent base station based on cell information of a base station, managing a resource to be allocated to the terminal and a resource allocated previously to the terminal based on the grouped resource, and allocating the grouped resource to the terminal based on information associated with the resource to be allocated and the previously allocated resource when a request for D2D communication between terminals located in different cells is received.
