Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatuses for public safety communication. A method comprises transmitting a groupcast setup request message to a base station; receiving an uplink grant message including information on groupcast resources in response to the groupcast setup request message from the base station; and transmitting data to be transmitted to receiving terminals belonging to a group to which the transmitting terminal belongs to the base station through the groupcast resources. Therefore, public safety communication can be efficiently performed in a wireless communication system.
