Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication. Device-to-device (D2D) communications may benefit from the use of a relay facilitating communications between mobile devices. Relays which are not power-limited, such as if the relay is connected to a power grid, may continuously monitor the communication medium. A relay may monitor D2D communications and determine a D2D pair for which to attempt to facilitate communications. The relay may identify a first message from a first mobile device to a second mobile device, and may transmit a second message to the second mobile device. The second message may be transmitted using the same resources as the first message, and may include at least a portion of the first message. The relay may receive a response from the second mobile device and may transmit information about the relay to the second device before facilitating communications between the D2D pair of mobile devices.
