Problem
Current wireless communication systems, such as LTE, face challenges in efficiently detecting discovery signals for device-to-device (D2D) communication, particularly in managing channel state information and optimizing resource allocation for D2D communication.
Innovation Solution
A method for detecting discovery signals in D2D communication involves blind decoding of control information using predefined reference signals, with a search space configured based on virtual resource blocks and reference signal resources, allowing for efficient acquisition of control information for D2D communication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If blind decoding is performed over the entire frequency band to detect discovery signals, then detection reliability is improved, but device complexity and processing time increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The frequency band is divided into multiple virtual resource block (VRB) sets, each corresponding to specific physical resource block sets. Instead of blind decoding across the entire frequency band, the user equipment performs blind decoding only within the configured VRB sets, segmenting the search space and reducing complexity while maintaining detection reliability through targeted monitoring.
2Reliability
If the search space for blind decoding is expanded to cover more resource blocks, then the probability of detecting discovery signals is improved, but the time and computational resources required increase
Solution Approach 1:
The base station pre-configures VRB sets and informs user equipment of the search space locations before discovery signal detection begins. This preliminary configuration allows user equipment to directly monitor predetermined resource blocks without exhaustive searching, reducing detection time while ensuring discovery signals are captured within the pre-identified search spaces.

AI summary
The present invention relates to a method for detecting a search signal of a first terminal for device-to-device (D2D) communication in a wireless communication system. Specifically, the method comprises the steps of: receiving search signals from second terminals; and obtaining control information for D2D communication by carrying out blind decoding of the search signals, wherein a search space for the blind decoding consists of at least one virtual resource block (VRB) set configured on the basis of multiple physical resource block sets which are predefined such that the search signals are assigned thereto.
