Abstract
A method of a terminal for performing communication is provided. The method includes, transmitting, by a terminal located outside a cell coverage area, a request message requesting monitoring of a temporary mobile group identity (TMGI) to a relay terminal located within the cell coverage area, receiving a monitoring response message including a layer-2 group identification (ID) in a proximity-based service from the relay terminal, receiving a TMGI announcement message including the layer-2 group ID from the relay terminal, when the relay terminal detects the TMGI, and receiving data related to the TMGI by using the layer-2 group ID.
