Abstract
User equipment (UE) architecture for inter-device communication in wireless communication systems is provided. A UE may communicate directly with another UE over a direct inter-device communication link when they are located in proximity. Long term evolution (LTE) downlink or uplink radio resources may be used for communications over the inter-device communication link. The UE may simultaneously maintain an active communication link with its serving base station while communicating with other UEs over the inter-device communication link. To communicate with the base station and other UEs simultaneously, the UE may include additional transmit or receive chain to support the inter-device communications over the inter-device communication link.
