Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in connection with D2D relay link selection in a LTE based access network. In one example, a communications device is equipped to determine that the communications device (e.g., a UE) is able to establish a relay link with a candidate UE based on at least one of information associated with any preexisting access links with the candidate UE, information associated with any preexisting accessing links within a threshold vicinity of the UE or the candidate UE, or any other UE UL interference, determine that the candidate UE is able to support the relay link based on information associated with preexisting access links for the candidate UE, and perform a link establishment process for the relay link with the candidate UE based on the determinations.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus of a device-to-device (D2D) link receives from a base station an indication of an acceptable level of interference that the base station can tolerate on an uplink resource. The uplink resource is allocated to a user equipment (UE) for a wide area network (WAN) transmission. The acceptable level of interference is a level of interference that the base station can tolerate on the uplink resource while the base station receives the WAN transmission from the UE. The apparatus determines a level of interference to the UE's transmission at the base station and performs a D2D communication on the uplink resource allocated to the second UE for the WAN transmission if the determined level of interference is less than the acceptable level.
