Implementing a device-to-device, D2D, discovery resource allocation by a network for D2D discovery by User Equipments, UEs , belonging to multiple cells in a D2D discovery area, in Long Term Evolution, LTE, wireless systems. A network such as LTE may determine an allocation of one or more resources (uplink, UL, and/or downlink, DL) for a device-to-device discovery among a plurality of UEs located in multiple cells of the network in a D2D discovery area. The allocation of the one or more resources is then provided by the network to the plurality of UEs for performing, using these one or more resources, the D2D discovery between any two UEs of the plurality of UEs located in the multiple cells in the D2D discovery area. Allocation of the one or more resources to the plurality of UEs may be provided by eNodeBs of the multiple cells using synchronous subframes on a multicast channel, wherein synchronous sub-frames are Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service Single Frequency Network, MBSFN, subframes. |
