Abstract
A terminal and a distance estimation method thereof for use in a wireless communication system supporting device-to-device (D2D) communication are provided. The terminal includes a transceiver configured to communicate with other terminals and at least one processor configured to control the transceiver to transmit a discovery message including time information to the other terminals and receive distance information calculated by the other terminals, the distance information being calculated based on the time information. The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system, such as Long Term Evolution (LTE).
