METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INDICATING AND ADAPTING THE ACTIVITY STATE OF A WIRELESS DEVICE HAVING DEVICE-TO-DEVICE COMMUNICATION CAPABILITIES

摘要

A method implemented at a network node configured for operation in a wireless communication network. The method includes determining a Device-to-Device (D2D) activity status of a wireless device that is registered in the network and has network communications capability and D2D communications capability, and adapting one or both of network and D2D operations with respect to the wireless device, in dependence on the determined activity status.
