Abstract

A method is provided that includes selecting a resource within a resource selection window for an initial transmission of a first Medium Access Control protocol data unit (MAC PDU) of a plurality of periodic MAC PDUs to be transmitted by a first communication device (TX UE) over a device-to-device, D2D, link to a second communication device (RX UE). The method further includes selecting a period (P) for periodic transmission of the plurality of periodic MAC PDUs so that initial transmissions of all MAC PDUs of the plurality of periodic MAC PDUs other than the first MAC PDU occur in resources after the resource selection window. Communication devices (RX UE) and computer program products are also provided.
