In a scenario where peer devices (e.g., machine-to-machine devices, machine type communication devices, and so on) have limited transmission capabilities, the peer devices may upload data to another device. For example, data may be uploaded to a base station directly or via a relay device (e.g., a user equipment). Connectivity to the base station or relay device is not assured, however. To facilitate uploading of such data, the data is mutually exchanged between the peer devices. In this way, the data can be uploaded once at least one of the peer devices establishes connectivity to the base station or relay device. |
