Summary:Apparatuses (including, but not limited to, user equipment (UE) and base stations, such as evolved Node Bs (eNBs)), systems, and methods for managing resource allocation and utilization for multi-hop device to device (D2D) communication are described. In one method, a UE sends a request to a network for a resource by which the UE can perform initial device discovery in order to perform D2D communication. If available, the network grants the resource and the UE performs initial device discovery using the resource, which includes calculating communication metrics. The UE then sends information based on the initial device discovery to the network which, based at least on that information and if available, sends back a grant for a resource for device discovery. The UE uses the grant to perform device discovery, which includes re-calculating the communication metrics.
