Claim 13:
14. A first user equipment (UE) comprising:
a transceiver;
at least one memory storing processor-executable code; and
at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and individually or collectively operable to execute the processor-executable code to cause the first UE to:
communicate with a second UE via the transceiver using a first frequency resource selected from a first resource pool for device-to-device communication using a first radio access technology (RAT);
determine, at the first UE, that a second resource pool for device-to-device communication using a second RAT is being underutilized;
transmit a scheduling assignment after a determination, at the first UE, that the second resource pool for the device-to-device communication using the second RAT is being underutilized, the scheduling assignment indicating that the first UE is reserving at least one resource of the second resource pool; and
communicate with the second UE via the at least one resource of the second resource pool after transmission of the scheduling assignment.
