Claim Text:
1. A method of communication comprising: estimating, by a machine type communications (MTC) device, a signal to interference noise ratio (SINR) of a first set of resource blocks of one or more target devices; selecting, by the MTC device, one or more of the first set of resource blocks of the one or more target devices based at least in part on the estimated SINR; allocating, by the MTC device, the selected one or more of the first set of resource blocks to be in a first resource pool; estimating, by the MTC device, an SINR of the MTC device on a second set of resource blocks of a target device of the one or more target devices; selecting one or more of the second set of resource blocks of the target device to be in a second resource pool based at least in part on the estimated SINR of the MTC device; and transmitting a signal to the target device over one or more resource blocks common to both the first resource pool and the second resource pool.
