Abstract
A method performed by a radio node for selectively providing synchronization information for Device-to-Device, D2D, communications between devices in a wireless communications network is provided. The radio node receives, when the radio node is providing synchronization information an indication to stop providing synchronization information for D2D communications. The radio node determines whether to continue to provide synchronization information for D2D communications or not based on the received indication.A radio node for selectively providing synchronization information for Device-to-Device, D2D, communications between devices in a wireless communications network is also provided.
