A method for performing by a mobile station (MS) a retransmission operation in a device to device (D2D) communication system is provided. The method includes performing a data communication with a peer MS using a D2D communication, receiving feedback information for a retransmission operation for data which is transmitted to the peer MS which is transmitted using a resource block mapped to identification information of a D2D connection from the peer MS, determining whether there is need for retransmission of the data based on the feedback information received from the peer MS, and if there is need for the retransmission of the data, retransmitting the data to the peer MS.
