Opportunistic wide area network and device to device coexistence
First Claim
1. A method of wireless communication by an apparatus, comprising:
- communicating with a base station using fewer wireless chains than supported by the apparatus;
determining at least a first wireless chain of the wireless chains is available for communicating with another apparatus while the apparatus is in a connected mode discontinuous reception (CDRX) on period associated with the base station; and
communicating, via device-to-device communications, with the other apparatus using one of the at least a first wireless chain while communicating with the base station during the CDRX on period.

Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for wireless communication, and more specifically to opportunistic wide area network (WAN) and device to device (D2D) coexistence. According to certain aspects of the present disclosure, a method of wireless communications by an apparatus is provided. The method generally includes communicating with a base station using fewer wireless chains than supported by the apparatus, determining at least a first wireless chain of the wireless chains is available for communicating, and communicating, via device-to-device communications, with another apparatus using one of the at least a first wireless chain while communicating with the base station.
