A method for transmitting downlink by a network node. The network node creates downlink data for a terminal which is in a radio resource control (RRC) idle state. The network node inserts the downlink data into a first paging message for transitioning the terminal to an RRC connected state, when a size of the downlink data is smaller than a reference value. In addition, the network node transmits the first paging message to the terminal through a base station.

Method and apparatus for transmitting downlink data and uplink data in NB-IoT system

A method in which a base station manages information for D2D communication, which is direct communication between terminals, is provided. The base station receives a first message that requests a configuration of a first open discovery service that searches for a first terminal and at least one terminal to perform D2D communication. The base station determines whether a resource to allocate to the first terminal exists. The base station stores first information for providing the first open discovery service based on the determination result.

Method and apparatus for managing information for direct communication between devices
