Abstract:
A transmit power control rule for device-to-device (D2D) transmissions may not be necessary during periods in which no uplink transmissions are scheduled to be received by an enhanced Node B base station (eNB). When uplink transmissions are not scheduled to be received by the eNB, the eNB may send a transmit power control (TPC) command to a D2D capable user equipment (D2D UE) that instructs the D2D UE to perform a D2D transmission at a pre-defined transmit power level (e.g., maximum transmit power level). When uplink transmissions are scheduled to be received the eNB, the eNB may send a TPC command to the D2D UE that instructs the D2D UE to perform a D2D transmission at a transmit power level defined by a power control rule.

Claim (Index 11):
A method for power control command for device-to-device (D2D) communications in a wireless communication network, the method comprising:\n receiving, by a user equipment (UE), a first TPC command from a base station, the first TPC command instructing the UE to perform a first D2D transmission at a transmit power level defined by a power control rule; performing, by the UE, the first D2D transmission at the transmit power level defined by the power control rule, the first D2D transmission coinciding with one or more uplink random access channel (RACH) transmissions; receiving, by the UE, a second TPC command from the base station, the second TPC command instructing the UE to perform a second D2D transmission at a pre-defined transmit power level; and performing, by the UE, the second D2D transmission at the pre-defined transmit power level, the second D2D transmission not coinciding with an uplink RACH transmission, and the transmit power level defined by the power control rule being lower than the pre-defined transmit power level.
