Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a 5G or pre-5G communication system to be provided in order to support a higher data transmission rate following 4G communication systems such as LTE. Disclosed are a method and device for improving device searching in a D2D communication system supporting direct communication between devices. The method comprises the steps of: generating a search signal including search information; selecting a transmission resource to transmit the search signal; transmitting the search signal through the selected transmission resource; and when a request signal requesting additional information on the search from a counterpart device that has received the search signal is received, transmitting a confirmation signal including the requested additional information to the counterpart device. The present disclosure relates to a communication technique and system which combine a 5G communication system, for supporting a higher data transmission rate following 4G systems, with IoT technology.
