    摘要: A method for allocating communication resources for communications performed by user equipment in a mobile communication network comprises receiving a first indication about an amount of available communication resources and obtaining information about interfering communications between user equipment. The method further comprises, for each communication between user equipment to which communication resources have to be allocated, receiving a second indication about an available communication rate for an infrastructure-based communication and for a device-to-device communication, receiving a third indication about a requested communication rate for said each communication, making a selection between an infrastructure-based communication type or a device-to-device communication type based on the first, second and third indications and the information about interfering communications, and allocating communication resources to each communication on the basis of the selection between an infrastructure-based communication type or a device-to-device communication type.
