Abstract
An apparatus (or) determines a device-to-device (D2D) radio resource to be allocated to one or more D2D transmissions from at least one remote terminal () to a first relay terminal () while considering a quality metric of an uplink from the first relay () terminal to a base station (). In this way, for example, it is possible to contribute to avoiding inconsistency of performance between sidelink transmission from the remote terminal to the relay terminal and uplink transmission from the relay terminal to the base station.
