A method of performing a terminal-to-terminal communication includes performing a terminal-to-terminal transmission via a portion of a radio spectrum licensed for transmission of wireless data. The terminal-to-terminal transmission is transmitted without performing terminal-to-terminal discovery associated with the terminal-to-terminal transmission. The terminal-to-terminal transmission is configured to be received by a terminal without being routed through a base station. The method further includes checking for an acknowledgement sequence and checking for a negative acknowledgement sequence.
