Method and device for group communication

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to technologies for sensor networks, machine-to-machine (M2M) communications, machine-type communications (MTC), and the Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services such as smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, health care, digital education, retail businesses, and security and safety related services, on the basis of said technologies. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a method for performing a group communication by a terminal, the method comprising the steps of: setting a condition for selecting target terminals which will perform a group communication on the basis of the position of the terminal, and transmitting, to a server for providing the group communication, configuration information including the set selection condition; transmitting, to the server, a request for the group communication; receiving, from the server, a talk burst control message for a group communication with terminals which satisfy the selection condition and are selected from adjacent terminals positioned in the near field of the terminal; and relaying and transmitting media data to the selected terminals via the server.
