Abstract

The application relates to a frame structure for network communication, in particular for device-to-device (D2D) network communication, comprising a control channel, wherein the control channel comprises a first control channel portion associated with a network-assisted communication mode and a second control channel portion associated with an ad-hoc communication mode, and a data channel, wherein the frame structure is configured to communicate control data within the control channel over a first communication resource, the first communication resource being associated with the first control channel portion, wherein the frame structure is configured to communicate control data within the control channel over a second communication resource, the second communication resource being associated with the second control channel portion, and wherein the frame structure is configured to communicate payload data within the data channel over a further communication resource.
