METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR FACILITATING USE OF CARRIER AGGREGATION FOR DEVICE-TO-DEVICE COMMUNICATIONS

摘要

Methods and apparatuses are provided for facilitating use of carrier aggregation for device-to-device communications. A method may include establishing, at a first communication apparatus, a carrier aggregation configuration defining a set of one or more component carriers usable for device-to-device communication between the first communication apparatus and a second communication apparatus. The method may further include causing the first communication apparatus to engage in device-to-device communication with the second communication apparatus in accordance with the established carrier aggregation configuration. Corresponding apparatuses are also provided.
