Methods and apparatus for joint scheduling of peer-to-peer links and wireless wide area network links in cellular networks
First Claim
1. A method of a wireless device, comprising:
- receiving an uplink grant from a base station on wireless wide area network resources orthogonal to peer-to-peer resources, the uplink grant indicating that a data transmission can be sent to the base station using the peer-to-peer resources;
receiving a scheduling control signal in the peer-to-peer resources;
determining, at the wireless device, whether to yield the data transmission based on the received scheduling control signal; and
sending the data transmission to the base station on the peer-to-peer resources upon determining not to yield the data transmission.

Abstract
A wireless device, a method, and a computer program product in a wireless device are provided in which a scheduling control signal is received in peer-to-peer resources. In addition, whether to yield a data transmission is determined based on the received scheduling control signal. Furthermore, the data transmission is sent to a base station on the peer-to-peer resources upon determining not to yield the data transmission. A base station, a method, and a computer program product in a base station are also provided in which a scheduling control signal is received in peer-to-peer resources. In addition, whether to yield a data transmission is determined based on the received scheduling control signal. Furthermore, the data transmission is sent to a wireless device on the peer-to-peer resources upon determining not to yield the data transmission.
