Abstract:
In a cellular network based on a cellular radio technology, a communication device sends a request for D2D communication to the cellular network. Further, the communication device receives a response to the request. The response indicates that an alternative radio technology is to be utilized for the D2D communication. The communication device then establishes the D2D communication on the basis of the alternative radio technology.
