Rate control of device-to-device based relay communication

Abstract:

In one aspect of the disclosure, to improve the performance of device-to-device based relay communication, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus for performing rate control based on feedback from participating UEs are provided. The apparatus may be a first UE. The first UE may receive a signal from a second UE through a device-to-device communication channel. The first UE may determine a feedback based on the received signal. The first UE may transmit the feedback to adjust transmission of the signal at the second UE. In another aspect of the disclosure, a first UE may transmit a signal to a second UE through a device-to-device communication channel. The first UE may receive a feedback of the signal. The first UE may adjust transmission of the signal based on the feedback.
