Abstract

Methods, apparatus and computer program products facilitate scheduling in a hybrid communication network with varying types of devices, such as device-to-device (D2D) mobile terminals and other, such as cellular, mobile terminals. In this regard, a D2D scheduling activity factor is calculated by a network node based at least in part on a total number of both D2D mobile terminals and other mobile terminals, and the scheduling activity factor is sent to at least one D2D mobile terminal. The D2D mobile terminal uses the scheduling activity factor to determine when to transmit locally measured signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) information to a network node. The D2D mobile terminal may be scheduled by the network node separately from other mobile terminals based at least in part on the SINR information.

Description

For the packet scheduling in the communication objective cellular communications networks of device-to-device
Technical field
