1. A method for configuring device to device communication, the method comprising:
- receiving, at an access node, device to device communication information identifying at least two wireless devices comprising a device to device communication group;
transmitting data to a plurality of wireless devices proximate to the communication group, wherein the plurality of wireless devices are not part of the communication group;
receiving NACK messages from the plurality of wireless devices proximate to the communication group corresponding to the transmitted data; and
retransmitting data to the plurality of wireless devices proximate to the communication group based on the received NACK messages, wherein the at least two wireless devices comprising the communication group perform device to device communication during a transmission time interval for the retransmission.

Abstract
Systems and methods are described for configuring device to device communication. Communication information may be received at an access node identifying at least two wireless devices comprising a device to device communication group. NACK messages may be received from a plurality of wireless devices proximate to the communication group. Data may be retransmitted to the plurality of wireless devices proximate to the communication group based on the received NACK messages, wherein the at least two wireless device comprising the communication group perform device to device communication based on the resources used for retransmission.
