Abstract
A method for performing mobile communications from a first mobile terminal may include identifying one or more further mobile terminals engaged in device-to-device communications with the first mobile terminal. The method may further include selecting an intermediary mobile terminal from the one or more further mobile terminals, and transmitting mobile communication data from the first mobile terminal to the intermediary mobile terminal using direct device-to-device communications, wherein the mobile communication data is intended for transmission to a base station that is connected to the wireless communication network. The direct device-to-device communications may utilize wireless resources allocated by the network for transmission of cellular data from at least one mobile terminal to at least one base station.
