Abstract: Embodiments herein provide methods and systems for achieving D2D communications through unlicensed spectrum. The D2D-U operations can be achieved through multiple approaches. In the first approach, the devices can communicate with each other without any involvement of network. In the second approach, the network provides partial assistance to the devices such as allocating time and frequency resources for D2D-U communication. In the third approach, the network completely controls D2D-U operations between the devices. The embodiments include allocating time and frequency resources for transmission of PSBCH, PSDCH, PSCCH, and PSSCH. The allocations of the time and frequency resources meet regulatory requirements of minimum bandwidth utilization for unlicensed band operation. The embodiments include distributing power in narrow frequency sub-bands of D2D-U spectrum, in order to maximize transmission range of D2D-U communications.

The method comprises of checking, by an eNodeB (eNB), whether an unlicensed channel is occupied by a User Equipment (UE), initiating transmission of Redundancy Versions (RVs) corresponding to a HARQ process on the unlicensed channel if the unlicensed channel is occupied by the UE, verifying if a channel occupancy period is over and an acknowledgement for the HARQ process is received from the unlicensed channel and initiating a Redundancy Version (RV) bundling for retransmission of the bundled RVs without awaiting an acknowledgment for the HARQ process from the unlicensed channel, if the channel occupancy period is not over.

Abstract: Method and system for managing hidden node problem in a communication network. A receiving node in the system, upon receiving a data transmission request from at least one transmitting node, dynamically checks status of the channel between the transmitting node and the receiving node. If the channel is found to be clear for transmission, then the receiving node sends a message that indicates that the channel is clear, to the transmitting node, and the transmitting node starts transmitting the data. Upon receiving a message from the receiving node that the channel is not clear for transmission, then the transmitting node waits for a particular time period and attempts the connection again.
