Abstract
A method performed by a first User Equipment, UE, for enabling Device-to-Device, D2D, communication with a second UE in a radio communications network is provided. The first UE is configured to perform the D2D communication on downlink cellular resources in the radio communications network. The first UE measures received signal strengths of Reference Signals, RS, on downlink cellular resources from one or more network nodes in the radio communications network. The first UE then determines a first subset of downlink cellular resources for which the measured received signal strength of RS is above or equal to a threshold value. Also, the network node transmits information indicating the determined first subset of downlink cellular resources to a network node serving the first UE in the radio communications network in order to enable the D2D communication.
