Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for providing uniform user equipment initialization procedure for both in-coverage and out-of-coverage device-to device communications are disclosed herein, incorporating a novel tri-timer design: an initial timer, a search timer, and an active timer. In a method a determination is made regarding a user equipment as being a clusterhead candidate which can act as a clusterhead of a cluster. The user equipment searches for a suitable cell or cluster to join. If a suitable cell or a cluster is not found, the user equipment is selected to be a clusterhead which will act as the clusterhead of its own cluster. After selecting the user equipment to be a clusterhead and establishing its cluster, the user equipment transmits a discovery signal which alerting other user equipment to the clusterhead, to which the other user equipment can join. The user equipment as clusterhead then maintains the cluster.

Abstract: At a wireless node in a wireless network, multiple interference estimation resources are received in a time-frequency resource space. The multiple interference estimation resources are resource elements in an assigned physical shared channel of the time-frequency resource space that do not contain physical shared channel data for the wireless node. An interference covariance matrix is determined from received signals on the multiple interference estimation resources. Symbol estimates are determined for a desired signal based in part by using the interference covariance matrix. Methods, computer programs and products and apparatus are disclosed. The techniques may be used for uplink, downlink, or D2D communications.

Abstract: A network element of a first radio access technology system receives scheduling information for using resources in a second radio access technology system. Based on the scheduling information for using the resources in the second radio access technology system, the network element of the first radio access technology system is scheduled to use the resources in the second radio access technology system. The network element of the first radio access technology system transmits utilizing the resources in the second radio access technology system. Further aspects provide for scheduling based on building an interference profile map of the second radio access technology system created from the scheduling information. Other aspects detail additional attributes to determine the scheduling and/or go into or augment the interference profile map so as to determine the scheduling.
