Abstract
Method in a network node for allocating Uplink (UL) radio resources to a pair of Device to Device (D2D) devices comprising a first wireless device and a second wireless device, the network node and the D2D pair being comprised in a wireless communications network, includes assigning a common Downlink (DL) control signalling message, for the pair of D2D devices, and allocating UL radio resources to the first and second wireless device, so that the UL radio resources allocated to the first wireless device are separated from the UL radio resources allocated to the second wireless device, by applying one or more of a time offset, a frequency offset, and a code-division multiplexing offset between the UL radio resources allocated to the first wireless device and the UL radio resources allocated to the second wireless device, wherein the allocating UL radio resources is based on the common DL control signalling message.
