Title:
METHODS TO ENABLE SCHEDULING AND CONTROL OF DIRECT LINK COMMUNICATION IN CELLULAR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/181515
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for enabling scheduling and control of direct link communication in a cellular communication system may be disclosed. A method for use in a first wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may include transmitting a request for device-to-device (D2D) communication resources to an enhanced Node B (eNB). The first WTRU may receive an allocation of resources for multiple transmission time intervals (TTI) to be used for D2D communications from the eNB. The first WTRU may schedule D2D communications with a second WTRU to be performed during the allocated resources. The first WTRU may perform D2D communications with the second WTRU using half duplex communications during the allocated resources.
