Macrocell communication resources are assigned for device-to-device (D2D) communication between two wireless communication user equipment (UE) devices. A scheduler in a communication system schedules (assigns) scheduled downlink communication resources for downlink transmission of signals from a base station, schedules (assigns) scheduled uplink communication resources for uplink communication from wireless communication (UE) devices to base stations, and schedules (assigns) (D2D) communication resources for (D2D) communication between wireless communication (UE) devices. The (D2D) communication resources are selected from either defined downlink communication resources or defined uplink communication resources that are defined by communication specification. The base station sends communication resource allocation (CRA) information to at least one of the wireless communication (UE) devices where the communication resource allocation information identifies the (D2D) communication resources for use by the wireless communication (UE) devices to communicate through a device-to-device (D2D) communication link. |
