Abstract
A method and apparatus for performing a device-to-device (D2D) communication by a user equipment and supporting D2D communication by a communication entity. The D2D communication method may include: acquiring ProSe ID of the UE or the UE's user, which is used in the D2D communication; generating an expression by using the ProSe ID; broadcasting the generated expression; receiving a direct D2D connection request message from another UE over a core network; sending a direct connection accept message in response to the direct D2D connection request message; and performing the D2D communication with another UE. Accordingly, D2D communication can be efficiently performed.
