1. A network device comprising:
- a transceiver; and
a processor operationally coupled to the transceiver;
wherein the processor is configured to;
receive, via the transceiver, communications from a first user equipment (UE) indicating a location of the first UE;
receive, via the transceiver, communications from a second UE indicating a location of the second UE;
determine, based on the received locations from the first UE and the second UE, that the first UE and the second UE are in proximity to each other; and
determine, based on the proximity determination, at least one of a first or a second UE uplink long term evolution (LTE) resources for transmission, wherein the transmission is associated with a group of UEs and the uplink utilizes frequency division multiple access.

Abstract
A network device, based on received location from a first user equipment (UE) and a second UE may determine that the first UE and the second UE are in proximity to each other. Based on the proximity determination, the network device may provide at least one of the first and second UE uplink LTE resources for transmission, wherein the transmission is associated with a group of UEs.
