Abstract
Systems and methods for a device-to-device communications mode are described. When two user equipment are within proximity of each other and other requirements are met, the user equipment are configured by their associated nodes to enter a device-to-device communication mode. In that mode, the user equipment receives messages from the other user equipment without the messages traversing the core network between their associated nodes.
