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 1):
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 TPC command from a base station, the TPC command instructing the UE to perform a D2D transmission at a transmit power level defined by a power control rule when the D2D transmission coincides with one or more uplink random access channel (RACH) transmissions or at a pre-defined transmit power level when the D2D transmission does not coincide with an uplink RACH transmission, the transmit power level defined by the power control rule being lower than the pre-defined transmit power level; performing, by the UE, the D2D transmission using the pre-defined transmit power level when the TPC command instructs the UE to perform the D2D transmission at the pre-defined transmit power level; and performing, by the UE, the D2D transmission at the transmit power level defined by the power control rule when the TPC command instructs the UE to perform the D2D transmission at the transmit power level defined by the power control rule.
