In various embodiments, wireless communications devices e.g., UE devices with device to device communications capability, self-configure to operate using a portion of the GP such as not to interfere with ongoing WAN signaling. Thus the WAN signaling and device to device signaling do not interfere with respect to one another. This approach facilities recurring availability of device to device air link communications resources in a recurring timing structure in a manner that does not interfere with WAN communications and improves the likelihood that transmitted device to device signals will be successfully recovered. | 2015-07-30 |

20150215981 | SWITCHING MODE OF OPERATION IN D2D COMMUNICATIONS - Methods, systems, and devices are described for switching a mode of operations in device to device (D2D) communications. A UE within the coverage area of a base station may communicate directly with other UEs using a centralized transmission resource schedule. Prior to experiencing radio link failure (RLF), the UE may determine that switching parameters have been met and transition to an intermediate mode based on a distributed transmission schedule using a pool of resources established by the base station. In one example, the switching parameters may be received from the base station in a connection response message. In another example, the UE may send a switching request to the base station prior to initiating the transition to the intermediate mode. In some cases, after the transition to the intermediate mode, the UE may experience a radio link failure and transition to a distributed mode using a predetermined pool of resources. | 2015-07-30 |
20150215982 | PROVIDING, OBTAINING, AND USING D2D-RELATED CAPABILITY OF A NETWORK NODE - The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for providing, obtaining, and using Device-to-Device (D2D) related capability information for a network node in a cellular communications network. Embodiments of a wireless device for operation in a cellular communications system are disclosed. In some embodiments, the wireless device comprises a transceiver including at least one transmitter and at least one receiver, at least one processor, and memory containing instructions executable by the at least one processor whereby the wireless device is operative to obtain D2D related capability information for one or more network nodes in the cellular communications system and use the D2D related capability information to perform one or more tasks. | 2015-07-30 |
