20130029713 | COMMUNICATION METHOD BETWEEN TERMINALS, AND TERMINAL - According to the present invention, a source MS, determining initiation of M2M communication or receiving a request for initiating M2M communication from a BS, receives a reference signal for channel quality measurement of a neighboring MS, and the channel quality of the source MS and the neighboring MS is measured by using the reference signal; and information representing the channel quality is transmitted to the BS. Or, the neighboring MS receives a reference signal for channel quality measurement transmitted by the source MS, a channel quality of the source MS and the neighboring MS is measured by using the reference signal, and information representing the channel quality is transmitted to the BS. The BS determines a partner MS for M2M communication with the MS on the basis of a channel quality between the source MS and the neighboring MS. | 2013-01-31 |
