Abstract

See full text

A method is provided for direct communications between members of at least one communication group of wireless entities, in which two communication groups are provided. A first group that has at least two wireless entities of an identical type, and a second group that has at least one wireless entity. A time slot is allocated in a frame belonging to a frame-based protocol for use by members of the first group to exchange direct communications between each other. The same time slot is used by at least one wireless entity of the second group to exchange non-direct communications in accordance with the frame-based protocol, or direct communication with one or more wireless entities of second group. Within the time slot, frequency resources within the same frequency channel are allocated to each of the two communication groups.
