Device-to-Device Communication in a Cellular Communication System

摘要

A method, performed in a controlling node of a cellular communication network is disclosed. The method comprises configuring (1300) gaps during which a device-to-device (D2D) enabled device is not expected to receive any cellular signal, but can use a receiver chain to detect D2D signals or D2D related control information. A corresponding method for the D2D-enabled device is also disclosed.
