Methods and devices for enabling group transmission in communication networks
Abstract:
A method for enabling group transmission among devices capable of Device to Device, D2D, communication in network having a base station. The devices have a group coordinator may directly communicate with one another over a D2D link. The group coordinator device is arranged to communicate with the base station over a cellular link. The group coordinator device sends a Scheduling Request, SR, message requesting grants for both D2D and cellular transmission. The group coordinator device transmits a Buffer Status Report, BSR and receives a grant for said the D2D and the cellular transmissions based on the transmitted BSR. The group coordinator device distributes the received grant to the plurality of devices.
