CPC Class H04W

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 a long term evolution (LTE). A method for communication by a base station is provided. The method includes transmitting a scheduling assignment including a first part of a destination identifier (ID), and transmitting a medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) including a MAC header including a user equipment (UE) ID and a second part of the destination ID.

Disclosed is a method in which a user equipment receives downlink control information in a wireless communication system. The user equipment may receive configuration information for reception of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) from a base station, and may receive a PDCCH including downlink control information (DCI) on the basis of the configuration information.

A method for WTRU autonomous resource selection may comprise receiving a TX resource pool for D2D communication from a base station. The WTRU may sense one or more resources of the TX resource pool and determine resources for transmission of control information and D2D data, based on the sensing. The WTRU may then transmit, to another WTRU, the control information and the D2D data on the determined resources.
