Abstract

Methods, systems and devices are provided for selecting one or more target devices for device-to-device (D2D) communication with a device. A device processor may determine whether a battery power level of the device is below a threshold battery power level. The device processor may establish a received power level threshold in response to determining that the battery power level of the device is below a threshold power battery level. The device processor may determine whether a received power level of a signal from target devices for D2D communication is above the received power level threshold. In response to determining that the received power level from a target device is above the received power level threshold, the device processor may permit D2D communication with that target device.
