Public safety communication aims to provide efficient mission critical and first responder communication scenarios. Device-to-device (D2D) proximity services are designed to offload massive traffic from base stations and extend the coverage area. Utilizing relay to provide network services for user equipment (UE) that out of coverage is one of the most important attributes of proximity services. Existing works mainly focus on the transmission rate and energy efficiency for relay selection. In this paper, we propose a relay selection scheme that targets to extend the connection time in public safety communications. In particular, the proposed scheme takes into consideration the remaining battery capacity and communication capability of each UE. The system level simulation results show that the proposed scheme can prolong the connection time for the UE that is out of coverage.
