Ultra-reliable communications using neighboring device-to-device assistance
One feature provides a method operational on a neighboring device for downlink transmission assistance for a target device. The neighboring device monitors a shared asynchronous first channel for broadcast transmissions from a serving access point. The neighboring device also determines if a received first transmission over the shared asynchronous first channel is intended for the target device. For instance, the received first transmission may be captured and decoded. After an expiration of a threshold period of time, the neighboring device relays the received first transmission to the target device over the first channel or a different second channel.
