A method for matching time synchronization between UEs during Device-to-Device (hereinafter referred to as “D2D”) communication in a radio communication system without involving an Evolved Node B (ENB) is proposed. Using the proposed method, all the UEs can operate to match the time synchronization
A method for matching time synchronization between UEs during Device-to-Device (hereinafter referred to as “D2D”) communication in a radio communication system without involving an Evolved Node B (ENB) is proposed. Using the proposed method, all the UEs can operate to match the time synchronization without malfunction in accordance with a synchronization signal of the ENB even if the UE inside an ENB area and the UE outside the ENB area coexist.

1. A method of a first user equipment (UE), the method comprising: determining whether a synchronization signal transmitted from a base station is received;if the synchronization signal transmitted from the base station is not received, selecting a reference UE for synchronizing; andtransmitting a synchronization signal determined based on information received from the reference UE,wherein the synchronization signal is a first synchronization signal, if the reference UE is in a coverage of the base station,wherein the synchronization signal is a second synchronization signal, if the reference UE is out of the coverage of the base station, andwherein the synchronization signal is the second synchronization signal, if the reference UE is not selected. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first synchronization signal is for in the coverage of the base station, and the second synchronization signal is for out of the coverage of the base station. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein selecting the reference UE further comprises selecting a second UE in the coverage of the base station, if the first UE receives the first synchronization signal transmitted from the second UE. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein selecting the reference UE further comprises selecting, if the first UE does not receive the first synchronization signal transmitted from the second UE, a third UE transmitting the first synchronization signal, the third UE being out of the coverage of the base station. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein selecting the reference UE further comprises selecting a fourth UE transmitting the second synchronization signal, if the first UE does not receive the first synchronization signal transmitted from the third UE. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising, if the reference UE is in one of a radio resource control (RRC) connected state, a camped normally state in an RRC idle state, and a camped on any cell state in the RRC idle state, the reference UE being in the coverage of the base station. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein determining whether a synchronization signal transmitted from the base station is received further comprises, if the synchronization signal transmitted from the base station is received, performing synchronization with the base station. 8. A first user equipment (UE), the first UE comprising: a transceiver; anda controller configured to: determine whether a synchronization signal transmitted from a base station is received,select a reference UE for synchronizing, if the synchronization signal transmitted from the base station is not received, andtransmit a synchronization signal determined based on information received from the reference UE,wherein the synchronization signal is a first synchronization signal, if the reference UE is in a coverage of the base station,wherein the synchronization signal is a second synchronization signal, if the reference UE is out of the coverage of the base station, andwherein the synchronization signal is the second synchronization signal, if the reference UE is not selected. 9. The first UE of claim 8, wherein the first synchronization signal is for in the coverage of the base station, and the second synchronization signal is for out of the coverage of the base station. 10. The first UE of claim 8, wherein the controller is further configured to select a second UE in the coverage of the base station, if the first UE receives the first synchronization signal transmitted from the second UE. 11. The first UE of claim 10, wherein the controller is further configured to: select, if the first UE does not receive the first synchronization signal transmitted from the second UE, a third UE transmitting the first synchronization signal, the third UE being out of the coverage of the base station. 12. The first UE of claim 11, wherein the controller is configured to: select a fourth UE transmitting the second synchronization signal, if the first UE does not receive the first synchronization signal transmitted from the third UE. 13. The first UE of claim 8, wherein if the reference UE is in one of a radio resource control (RRC) connected state, a camped normally state in an RRC idle state, and a camped on any cell state in the RRC idle state, the reference UE is in the coverage of the base station. 14. The first UE of claim 8, wherein the controller is further configured to: perform synchronization with the base station, if the synchronization signal transmitted from the base station is received.
