A method, apparatus, computer readable medium is provided to perform resource coordination among multiple cells to cancel near-far interference for device-to-device transmission, including cross-cell device-to-device transmission. In this context, a dedicated resource exchanging channel can be defined between cellular user equipment and device-to-device user equipment for interference control and resource coordination. A cellular user equipment can forward its uplink resource grant information over the dedicated resource exchanging channel when it determines potential interference. A device-to-device user equipment can monitor the dedicated resource exchanging channel in order to identify one or more resources that can potentially interfere with device-to-device transmission.
