SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INTER-CELL COORDINATION FOR A DEVICE-TO-DEVICE COMMUNICATION RESOURCE ALLOCATION
First Claim
1. A method for resource allocation for a device-to-device communication, the method comprising:
- allocating, at a first base station, a device-to-device (D2D) communication resource from a pool of communication resources to a first electronic device controlled by the first base station, wherein the first electronic device is within a D2D communication group; and
in response to a second electronic device within the D2D communication group being controlled by a second base station, transmitting, by the first base station, information corresponding to the D2D communication resource allocation to the second base station.

20. A method for resource allocation for a device-to-device communication, the method comprising:
-
determining, at an electronic device within a device-to-device (D2D) communication group, whether a reception pool of communication resources for the D2D communication group has changed; in response to determining that the reception pool of communication resources for the D2D communication group has changed; modifying the reception pool of communication resources for the D2D communication group to produce a modified reception pool for the D2D communication group; and receiving D2D data transmissions in accordance with the modified reception pool for the D2D communication group; and in response to determining that the reception pool of communication resources for the D2D communication group has not changed; receiving D2D data transmissions in accordance with the reception pool for the D2D communication group.
