Claim Text:
1. A method of allocating a wireless communication resource to a device-to-device (D2D) pair of wireless devices, the method comprising: determining an access-point interference threshold of an access point of a wireless communication network; determining a device-to-device (D2D) signal power of a D2D signal at the access point, the D2D signal being a D2D communication between a D2D pair of wireless devices and the determined D2D signal power indicating a power of the D2D signal at the access point; determining a receiving-device interference threshold of a receiving wireless device of the D2D; determining an uplink signal power of an uplink signal at the receiving wireless device, the uplink signal being allocated in the wireless communication resource and associated with uplink communications between the access point and another wireless device not included in the D2D pair and the determined uplink signal power indicating a power of the uplink signal at the receiving wireless device; and assigning a wireless communication resource to the D2D pair for D2D communications between each other based on:
