Abstract
There are disclosed methods and apparatus for enabling high data rate relay operation using the D2D air interface including a User Equipment (UE) for transmitting and receiving data via a sidelink interface under control of an Evolved Node B (eNB), the UE comprising: receive circuitry to receive a reference signal on a sidelink interface; control circuitry to determine one or more sidelink quality indicators based on the received reference signal; and transmit circuitry to transmit the determined sidelink quality indicators to the eNB.
