1. A method for a base station to allocate at least one sub-channel for device-to-device (D2D) communication, comprising:
transmitting, to a user equipment device (UE), an indication of the at least one sub-channel and resource pools the UE uses for communication with other UEs and not for transmissions to the base station, wherein the resource pools are disposed in a physical sidelink channel; and
transmitting, to the UE, an indication of at least one metric for measurement of D2D transmissions for adjustment of transmission parameters on the at least one allocated sub-channel and the resource pools.
