Patent number: 12058747Abstract: A user device for a radio communication system supporting Device-to-Device (D2D) communication is disclosed. The user device includes a transmitter that transmits a D2D signal by mapping a reference signal to a physical channel according to a first mapping configuration or according to a second mapping configuration.
