Various disclosed embodiments include methods and apparatus for inter-cell coordination for a device-to-device communication resource allocation. A method includes allocating, at a first base station, a device-to-device (D2D) communication resource from a pool of communication resources to a first electronic device controlled by the first base station, wherein the first electronic device is within a D2D communication group. The method also includes, in response to a second electronic device within the D2D communication group being controlled by a second base station, transmitting, by the first base station, information corresponding to the D2D communication resource allocation to the second base station.
