Claim:
1. A method of wireless communication comprising: identifying, by a base station, a wide area network (WAN) frequency hopping scheme, wherein the WAN frequency hopping scheme comprises a fixed offset signaled via a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) for every other transmission of a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) process; coordinating a device to device (D2D) frequency hopping scheme for at least one D2D enabled user equipment (UE) with the identified WAN frequency hopping scheme, wherein the D2D frequency hopping scheme comprises a first offset for a first subset of transmissions and a second offset different from the first offset for a second subset of transmissions different from the first subset of transmissions; and communicating the D2D frequency hopping scheme to the at least one D2D enabled UE.
