Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for discontinuous reception (DRX) for a link between a network and a user equipment (UE) based on device-to-device (D2D) communication in a wireless communication system. A method for DRX of a first UE in a wireless communication system may include receiving, from a second UE, hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback information related to sidelink data transmitted from the first UE; transmitting, by the first UE, HARQ NACK information to a base station in an uplink based on the HARQ feedback information from the second UE; sleeping during an operation of the first timer that starts after the first UE transmits the HARQ NACK information; and monitoring a downlink control channel that includes resource allocation information on a sidelink data retransmission during an operation of a second timer that starts after the first timer expires.
