Aspects of the present disclosure provide methods for modifying the numerology of the D2D frame structure to match the numerology of the Macro cell communication frame structure. Particularly, the present disclosure introduces techniques that allow the D2D devices to partition a long-TTI D2D transmission into a plurality of segments such that each segment may fit into a short-TTI MiCr uplink (UL) subframe. The present disclosure also provides techniques for scheduling D2D transmission and managing transmission power of the D2D communication to minimize the interference with the MiCr communication on the macro cell while maximizing the spectrum utilization.
