<p>The present disclosure relates to a scheduling apparatus (109) configured for being comprised in a network node in a cellular radio communication system (110).The apparatus comprises processor circuitry, and a storage unit storing instructions that, when executed by the processor circuitry, cause the scheduling apparatus to obtain topographical information concerning a geographical area covered by the communication system, from a database (111) comprising the topographical information. The instructions also cause the scheduling apparatus to obtain information about a geographical position held by a first wireless communication terminal (101) and a geographical position held by a second wireless communication terminal (102) of the communication system within said area. The instructions also cause the scheduling apparatus to determine, based on the obtained topographical information and on the obtained geographical positions, whether direct wireless communication should be set up between the first wireless communication terminal and the second wireless communication terminal. The instructions also cause the scheduling apparatus to allocate frequency and/or time resources for the direct communication between the terminals if it has been determined that direct wireless communication should be set up.</p> |
