The invention discloses a method and device for determining a transmission resource for device-to-device (D2D) communications and capable of enhancing D2D communication quality. The method comprises: determining a plurality of transmission resource sets, wherein each of the plurality of transmission resource sets comprises at least one transmission resource block and has a corresponding distance threshold; and determining, from the plurality of transmission resource sets, and according to current location information of first terminal equipment and distance thresholds of the plurality of transmission resource sets, a target transmission resource set for the first terminal equipment to perform D2D communication.
