Interference Avoidance in D2D Communications
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for allocating radio resources for a device-to-device (D2D) communication between a first D2D device and a second D2D device:
- identifying one or more devices relevant for the D2D communication between the first D2D device and the second D2D device;
for each device of the identified devices, obtaining location information for the device;
for each device of the identified devices, using the location information obtained for the device and one or both of location information for the first D2D device and location information for the second D2D device, determining a distance parameter indicative of a distance between one of the device, a device pair comprising the device and a further entity or a further device with which the device is in communication, or a group of further devices comprising the device and a plurality of further entities or further devices with which the relevant device is in communication, and one of the first D2D device, the second D2D device, or a device pair comprising the first D2D device and the second D2D device; and
allocating one or more radio resources for the D2D communication between the first D2D device and the second D2D device based on the determined distance parameter.

Abstract
A method for allocating radio resources for a D2D communication between a first device and a second device is disclosed. The method includes identifying device(s) relevant for the D2D communication between the first and second devices, obtaining location information for the identified device(s), determining a value of a distance parameter for each of the identified devices using the location information obtained for the device and one or both of location information for the first device and location information for the second device, and allocating one or more radio resources for the D2D communication between the first device and the second device based on the determined value of the distance parameter.
