Abstract:
The invention is directed to systems, methods and computer program products for managing device-to-device (D2D) traffic associated with a terminal. An exemplary method comprises: first determining whether the terminal is handling D2D traffic; second determining whether a human body is located either less than or equal to a predetermined distance from the terminal; third determining whether the terminal is receiving power from an external power source; and fourth determining whether to continue handling D2D traffic based on at least one of the second and third determining steps.
