A method, system, and computer program product is provided for transmitting output symbols in sub-slots that each have a pre¬ determined length. A UE (102) generates (1402) a first output symbol having a first symbol length, and transmits (1404) the first output symbol with a guard period having a guard period length. During the guard period, no transmission is made by the UE (102). The sum of the first symbol length and the guard period length is less than or equal to the predetermined length. Further, the UE (102) generates (1406) a plurality of other output symbols that each have the predetermined length. Then, immediately following the transmission of the first output symbol, the UE transmits (1408) the plurality of other output symbols. Such a resulting fractional guard period located either at the beginning or the end of a subframe prevents collision or overlapping of D2D communication and normal UE to eNB transmissions. |
