    Abstract: Technology to support access-class-barring (ACB) skipping for commercial and public-safety user equipments (UEs) is disclosed. A cellular mobile network experiencing congestion at the core network level can be configured to send a communication to UEs indicating that ACB may be skipped by UEs seeking to establish device-to-device (D2D) communication using a first mode of D2D resource allocation wherein D2D resources are allocated by the network. In addition, the network can be configured to send a communication indicating that a second mode of D2D resource allocation wherein D2D resources are allocated by the UEs may be used as an alternative to the first mode. The network may also indicate that the second mode can be used as a fallback when current ACB parameters indicate that use of the first mode is not currently permitted.

    Abstract: There is are provided methods and apparatus relating to layer 2 relaying and mobility using a sidelink interface, including a remote user equipment (UE) for use in a wireless communication network, the UE comprising: a device to network (D2N) entity, a device to device (D2D) entity, and control logic to: receive a service data unit derived from an IP packet direct the service data unit to the D2N entity for communication with an eNB using a Uu interface in a first mode of operation, and direct the service data unit to the D2D entity for communication with the eNB via a first relay UE using a sidelink interface in a second, relay, mode of operation.
