Abstract

The disclosure relates to a method performed by a UE, for using subframes of a radio access network for a D2D communication. The method comprises determining subframes available for D2D communication among subframes of the radio access network. The subframes available for D2D communication exclude a number of subframes of the radio access network, such that a periodicity of the D2D communication in number of subframes divides the number of subframes available for D2D communication. The method also comprises using the determined subframes for enabling D2D communication.
