METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR INTERFERENCE BASED JOINT SCHEDULING OF PEER TO PEER LINKS WITH WWAN

摘要

A method of operating a first wireless device includes receiving a grant from a base station for peer to peer communication with a second wireless device using time frequency resources utilized by a third wireless device for WWAN communication with the bas e station. In addition the method includes receiving a transmit power for the peer to peer communication with the grant. The transmit power is determined based on an interference that can be caused to transmissions received by the base station from the third wireless device. Furthermore the method includes communicating with the second wireless device at a power less than or equal to the received transmit power using peer to peer communication on the time frequency resources.
