    Abstract: There is provided a method, comprising: configuring, by a network node controlling a macro cell of a cellular communication system, at least one handover trigger related signalling configuration for at least one terminal device of the cellular communication system; receiving, by the network node controlling the macro cell, as a result of said signalling configuration, an uplink message broadcasted by the at least one terminal device via a local area access node; recognizing the local area access node as an edge node located at an edge of a coverage area of the macro cell; and initiating a handover of the terminal device between the macro cell and a neighbouring macro cell.

    Abstract: A method, including receiving at a first communication device from a first network information for assisting device-to-device transmissions between a group of communication devices including said first communication device; thereafter detecting at said first communication device loss of possibility to continue receiving assistance for said device-to-device transmissions from said first network; and deciding at said first communication device whether to continue with said device-to-device transmissions with assistance from a second network or without assistance from a second network.

    Abstract: There is provided a method comprising receiving, at a user device associated with at least one cell, scheduling information from the at least one cell, the scheduling information comprising an indication of candidate resources for transmission of data in a transmission time interval, determining, in dependence on the candidate resources and at least a first threshold value, resources to be used for transmission of data in the transmission time interval and providing control information for transmission of data in the transmission time interval to the at least one cell, said control information comprising an indication of the determined resources.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for a random access channel (RACH) procedure based proximity-based service channel allocation are provided. One method includes controlling receiving, by a network node, a request for proximity-based service on a random access channel, the request being for at least one resource, and determining whether the requested at least one resource is allocable within a random access contention window. When the at least one resource is allocable, the method may include preparing a transmission of allocation information on a common control channel. When the at least one resource is not allocable, the method may include preparing a response for the request on the random access response channel, and preparing a transmission of allocation information either on common control channel or dedicated control channel.

    Abstract: There is provided a method comprising: receiving a request for a content-based delivery service from at least one first user device of a plurality of user devices with device-to-device communications capability for a delivery of an information element; obtaining information in relation to the delivery of the information element; determining based on the obtained information in relation to the delivery, if said information element is to be delivered using an access node or at least one second user device or both the access node and the at least one second user device or if information on absence of the requested information element is conveyed, and in response to the determination, carrying out resource configuration for the delivery of the information element or for conveyance of the information on the absence of the requested information element is conveyed the requested information element by using the content-based delivery service.

    Abstract: An example technique may include controlling sending data by a first user device to a second user device in a network providing proximity-based services, determining, by the first user device, a release of a user plane protocol entity resources used for the proximity-based services in the second user device, and controlling sending, by the first user device to at least the second user device in response to the determining, a message that causes at least the second user device to perform the release of the user plane protocol entity resources used for the proximity-based services in the second user device.
