    摘要: A first communication device 100 is configured for device-to-device (D2D) communications with a second communication device 102. A method by the first communication device 100 includes obtaining 300 information on duplex configuration of a radio network node 110 that may affect resource allocation by the first communication device 100 for D2D communication with the second communication device 102. The method further includes deriving 302 a set of resource patterns (RPTs) based on the information, selecting 304 one RPT among the set of RPTs based on scheduler information, and signaling 306 an index that is used to identify the selected RPT to the second communication device 102. Related methods by a communication device to derive resources to be used for D2D reception from another communication device based on a selected RPT are disclosed.

    摘要: A method in a communication device for controlling beam-forming (BF) tracking is disclosed. The method comprises switching the communication device from a coarse BF tracking state to a non-BF tracking state when a first timer expires. The communication device transmits pilot signals for BF tracking, feedback information for BF tracking or both the pilot signals and the feedback information more frequently in the coarse BF tracking state than in the non-BF tracking state. Additionally or alternatively, the method comprises switching the communication device from a fine BF tracking state to a coarse BF tracking state or a non-BF tracking state when a second timer expires. The communication device transmits pilot signals for BF tracking, feedback information for BF tracking or both the pilot signals and the feedback information more frequently in the fine BF tracking state than in the coarse BF tracking state.

    摘要: Method in a network node for allocating Uplink (UL) radio resources to a pair of Device to Device (D2D) devices comprising a first wireless device and a second wireless device, the network node and the D2D pair being comprised in a wireless communications network, includes assigning a common Downlink (DL) control signalling message, for the pair of D2D devices, and allocating UL radio resources to the first and second wireless device, so that the UL radio resources allocated to the first wireless device are separated from the UL radio resources allocated to the second wireless device, by applying one or more of a time offset, a frequency offset, and a code-division multiplexing offset between the UL radio resources allocated to the first wireless device and the UL radio resources allocated to the second wireless device, wherein the allocating UL radio resources is based on the common DL control signalling message.

    摘要: A method performed by a network node for enabling network-assisted Device-to-Device, D2D, communications between user equipments configured to be in a wireless telecommunications network is provided, wherein the network node is configured according to a Radio Access Technology, RAT, that cannot be used for D2D communications. The network node determines D2D assistance information to enable network-assisted D2D communications by the network node. The network node then transmits the D2D assistance information to at least one user equipment. A user equipment, another network node and methods performed therein are also provided.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a method used in a UE for transmitting a periodic signal to a first base station and an associated UE. The UE has been in communications with a first base station. The method includes: obtaining from the second base station a subframe configuration, which indicates a first set of subframes assigned to communications between the UE and the first base station and a second set of subframes assigned to communications between the UE and the second base station; and if a given uplink subframe, in which the periodic signal is to be transmitted to the first base station, is not in the first set of subframes, transmitting the periodic signal in a first available uplink subframe in the first set of subframes following the given uplink subframe. The present disclosure also relates to a method used in a first base station for transmitting a periodic signal/its periodic system information to a UE and an associated first base station; and a method used in a second base station for forwarding to a UE and an associated second base station.
