Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus receives a configuration indicating multicast broadcast single frequency network (MBSFN) subframes within a radio frame. The configuration indicates a number of symbols of an MBSFN subframe for receiving a wide area network (WAN) control signal and remaining symbols of the MBSFN subframe dedicated for peer-to-peer communication. The apparatus communicates with a peer via the symbols dedicated for peer-to-peer communication. Alternatively, the apparatus receives a configuration indicating a portion at a beginning and/or end of a guard period of a special time division duplex (TDD) subframe. The portion is reserved for an uplink timing advance and/or switching from transmission to reception and/or reception to transmission. The configuration also indicates a remaining portion of the guard period of the special TDD subframe for peer-to-peer communication. The apparatus communicates with a peer via the remaining portion.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus selects a serving cell for connection to a network. The apparatus performs a search for a frequency band on a neighbor cell for use in device-to-device communications. The apparatus performs the device-to-device communications using pre-configured resources associated with the frequency band when the search for the frequency band on the neighbor cell fails. The apparatus performs the device-to-device communications using resources associated with the frequency band of the neighbor cell when the search for the frequency band on the neighbor cell is successful.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE), e.g., a lead platooning vehicle configured for wireless communications, may determine a communication resource requirement for a group of platooning vehicles. The communication resource requirement may be based at least in part on a number of vehicles forming the group of platooning vehicles and a communication range of at least a portion of the vehicles. The UE may identify, based at least in part on the identified communication resource requirement, an assignment of time-frequency radio resources to use for inter-vehicle communications in the group of platooning vehicles. The UE may transmit an indication of the assignment of time-frequency radio resources to the group of platooning vehicles.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for sharing network feedback information. The method may include establishing, at a first access terminal, a wireless link with an access point, receiving network configuration data from the access point, composing a network feedback expression that indicates a status or availability of at least one network service associated with the access point, and transmitting the network feedback expression to a second access terminal via a D2D link.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, the apparatus can receive a packet at a Uu protocol stack of a first user equipment (UE), the packet intended for a base station. In addition, the apparatus can transfer the packet from the Uu protocol stack of the first UE to a PC5 interface protocol stack of the first UE. Furthermore, the apparatus can modify a header of the packet at the PC5 interface protocol stack to identify the packet as relayed uplink traffic intended for the base station from the first UE. Moreover, the apparatus can transmit the packet including the modified header to a second UE for relaying to the base station.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in connection with providing private expression protection in a wireless communications network. In one example, a UE is equipped to internally receive a request (e.g., from an application running on the UE) to announce a private expression and/or at least a reference to an expression-code associated with the private expression, and determine whether the reference to the expression-code and/or the expression-code matches a stored instance of the expression-code. In an aspect, the UE may be equipped to announce the at least one of the private expression or the expression-code when stored instance of the expression-code corresponds to the expression-code received with the request. In another aspect, the UE may be equipped to prohibit announcement of any information associated with the private expression when stored expression-code does not correspond to the expression-code received with the request.
