Abstract
According to a first aspect of embodiments herein, the object is achieved by a method in a base station for handling a Random Access Channel (RACH) procedure in a mixed cellular and device to device (D2D) network. The base station receives from a first user equipment in a RACH message, an indication that the RACH relates to D2D communication. The base station then schedules a D2D link to the first user equipment based on the indication.
