Abstract
A method and system for use in an advanced wireless communication network is provided. The method comprises: providing, to a group of UEs, a resource multiplexing configuration defining resource multiplexing for cellular and non-cellular communication; and allocating resources to the group of UEs for cellular communication, according to the resource multiplexing configuration. Advantageously, the method enables collisions and interference between D2D and cellular transmissions to be reduced or avoided.
Claims18
A wireless communications method implemented in a base station used in a wireless communications system supporting cellular and device-to-device (D2D) communications, the wireless communications method comprising:
- transmitting to one or more first user equipments (UEs) a first information, a second information and a third information, the first information indicating a communication interval, the second information indicating a configuration offset, and the third information indicating a resource allocation, wherein the resource allocation starts after the configuration offset with respect to starting point of subframe 0;
- and
- allocating resources to said one or more first user equipments for the D2D communications according to the first information, the second information and the third information.
