    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, computer programs, and computer-readable media are disclosed. A network node defines two or more user device groups, one of the user device groups using a licensed frequency band and another using an unlicensed frequency band. Timing advance parameters of user devices are determined. The user devices are assigned into one of the user device groups based on comparison of the timing advance parameters in such a manner that if a magnitude of differences of timing advance parameters of the user devices having mutual machine-to-machine communications exceeds the a timing advance parameter of at least one user device communicating with the network node, the user devices having the mutual machine-to-machine communications are directed into the user device group using the unlicensed frequency band for decreasing interference.

    Abstract: In radio communication networks, such as the Long Term Evolution (LTE) or the LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), a user equipment (UE) may communicate with another UE via a base station. UEs may also communicate directly with each other by applying resources dedicated by the network for a device-to-device (D2D) direct communication. One part of device-to-device (D2D) communication is discovery to find other interesting peers (in general a peer can mean an application, user, service, device, etc.) in proximity. The discovery can be implemented either using the direct radio signals between the devices or it may utilise network side in the process. The same discovery process may be utilised in relation to small cells. A system information block SIB comprising information on small cell discovery and D2D is generated. Any change in the SIB is indicated in a paging message. The UE receiving the paging message is thereby requested to also receive the related SIB to apply the changed information.

    Abstract: An approach is provided for scheduling resources for device-to-device communications. A resource of a network is granted to a group designated for device-to-device communications. The group then determines how the resource allocation is utilized to support the communication session and allocates the resource among the user equipment within the group independently of the base station. Further, a user equipment pair in the group determines transmit/receive (Tx/Rx) timeslot configuration to allow TDD mode operations, and further configure the modulation and coding for the device-to-device connection, and error control scheme for the pair via control signaling independently from the group.

    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to facilitate synchronization of one or more stations with an access point when the stations have awakened from a sleep period. In the context of a method, a channel switch announcement is caused to be provided on a first channel that indicates that an access point is to switch to a second channel. The method also provides for the access point to switch to the second channel and, following switching of the access point to the second channel, the method causes a post-announcement to be provided on the first channel indicating that the access point previously switched to the second channel.
