Abstract

The disclosure relates to a transmitter communication device for a D2D communication network with a plurality of communication devices, including one or more receiver communication devices and a plurality of relay communication devices. The transmitter communication device comprises: a processor configured to select a subset of plurality of relay communication devices for relaying a communication message to the one or more receiver communication devices and to configure the subset of relay communication devices to relay the communication message using one of a plurality of relay modes, including a first relay mode or a second relay mode, wherein the first relay mode is an “amplify and forward” relay mode and wherein the second relay mode is a “decode and forward” relay mode; and a communication interface configured to transmit the communication message to the one or more receiver communication devices via the subset of relay communication devices.
