Abstract

Schemes for recovering D2D connections between terminals (UEs) in an LTE network are described. The schemes may be applied in situations where a D2D connection is established between two UEs but is lost by, for example, one of the UEs entering a sleep state. The schemes may be applied to either centralized or distributed D2D systems. Some of the schemes are eNB-assisted while others are performed solely by the UEs.
