Abstract:
Various disclosed embodiments include methods and apparatus for inter-cell coordination for a device-to-device communication resource allocation. A method includes allocating, at a first base station, a device-to-device (D2D) communication resource from a pool of communication resources to a first electronic device controlled by the first base station, wherein the first electronic device is within a D2D communication group. The method also includes, in response to a second electronic device within the D2D communication group being controlled by a second base station, transmitting, by the first base station, information corresponding to the D2D communication resource allocation to the second base station.
Abstract:
A device is configured to perform a method of device-to-device (D2D) communication in a wireless communication network in accordance with a Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard. The method includes entering an RRC-Idle state or an RRC-Connected state. The method also includes transmitting, in the RRC-Idle state or RRC-Connected state, a D2D discovery signal for receipt by at least one second device in the network. The method further includes receiving, in the RRC-Idle state or RRC-Connected state, at least one D2D discovery signal from the at least one second device in the network.
