Method and apparatus for traffic offloading between devices

An apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
• construct a local topology of one or more mobile terminals;
• determine that a mobile terminal of the one or more mobile terminals has initiated a peer to peer session;
• determine, based on the local topology, one or more mobile terminals to act as one or more seeder devices for the peer to peer session;
• and
• cause the local topology of the one or more mobile terminals to be transmitted to the mobile terminal that has initiated the peer to peer session, wherein the mobile terminal is configured to use the local topology to initiate a device to device connection for the peer to peer session.

A method comprising:

• causing device to device capabilities to be transmitted to a device to device peer to peer tracker;
• receiving a local topology for one or more mobile terminals in radio communications range from the device to device peer to peer tracker, wherein the one or more mobile terminals are configured for device to device communications;
• determining, based on the local topology and using a processor, one or more mobile terminals in radio communications range to act as one or more seeder devices for a peer to peer session;
• and
• causing a device to device connection for a peer to peer session with the one or more seeder devices.
