A communication device configured to route communications between one or more out-of-coverage communication devices and a base station using one or more proximity services (ProSe). For example, the communication device can be configured as a mobile device-to network relay. The communication device can be configured to route communications between two or more out-of-coverage communication devices that are serviced by the communication device. The communication device can be configured to utilize Layer 3 and/or internet protocol (IP) routing. A base station can be configured to route communications between two or communication devices serviced by the base station. The base station can also be communication coupled to another base station via a backhaul communication connection, and be configured to route communications from one or more communication devices serviced by the base station to one or more other communication devices serviced by the other base station via the backhaul communication connection.
