METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COEXISTENCE OF DEVICE TO DEVICE AND LTE WAN COMMUNICATION USING SINGLE COMMUNICATION CHAIN

摘要

A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus receives a priority for performing a wide area network (WAN) operation or a device-to-device (D2D) operation using a downlink receive chain, and performs the WAN operation or the D2D operation using the downlink receive chain according to the priority. In another aspect, the apparatus determines downlink resources on which a WAN operation is performed, refrains from scheduling the WAN operation on the downlink resources when the WAN operation is not scheduled or expected to be scheduled on the downlink resources, and sends to a device priority information indicating a priority for the device to perform the WAN operation or the D2D operation using a downlink receive chain when the WAN operation is scheduled or expected to be scheduled on the downlink resources.
