US 11,109,390 B2 · Device-to-device priority pool configuration

Abstract

According to some embodiments, a method of device-to-device (D2D) communication in a wireless communication network comprises a wireless device determining a division of a set of resources allocated for D2D communication into a plurality of regions. Each region of the plurality of regions is associated with a priority level, and the set of resources comprises a plurality of resource pools. Using a priority of the first wireless device and the division of the set of resources, the first wireless device determines one or more resources from the plurality of resource pools for transmission of a communication from the wireless device. The wireless device transmits the communication to another wireless device using the determined one or more resources.
