Zusammenfassung:An apparatus and method of allowing user equipment to transmit information directly with other user equipment, using a device-to-device mode is disclosed herein. A device-to-device blank subregion is defined where device-to-device information can be transmitted without interference from other user equipment. The device-to-device blank subregion may be set up such that it is only used in an exclusive mode if a device-to-device cluster is considered highly interfering. A device may join a device-to-device network through the use of a beacon transmission interval, a control transmission interval, and a data transmission interval.
