Abstract:
Methods and devices are provided to enable a cooperating group of user equipments (UEs) to access a second spectrum band as frame based equipment (FBE) for device-to-device (D2D) sidelink transmission within the group. In an embodiment, a UE operating as a cooperating UE (CUE) in a cooperating group of UEs receives a group-specific CPC message from the network over a first spectrum band, the group-specific CPC message comprising information related to channel access for transmission of traffic intended for a target UE (TUE). The UE receives traffic intended for the TUE from the network over the first spectrum band and accesses a second spectrum band as FBE in accordance with a set of channel access parameters corresponding to the traffic to relay the traffic to the TUE via D2D sidelink transmission over the second spectrum band.

Claim (Index 21):
The UE of  claim 20 , wherein:\n the group-specific CPC message further comprises information indicating a reference time point, t 0 , to start cycles of a frame period for accessing the second spectrum band as FBE; and wherein the instructions for operating in the cooperation mode comprise instructions to set the frame period for accessing the second spectrum band as FBE according to the minimum frame period parameter and starting a cycle of the frame period at the reference time point, t 0 .
