摘要:
A wireless relay device may receive a request indicating that a wireless device has one or more delay-tolerant messages to be forwarded to a network. The wireless relay device may send a response message to the wireless device indicative of an estimated time to network contact. The wireless relay device then receives and caches the delay-tolerant messages to be forwarded. The wireless relay device may forward at least one of the one or more delay-tolerant messages.

A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus receives a policy containing information on filtering and processing of discovery messages over a wireless interface. The policy may be received from a cellular network or from a network server. The apparatus determines a set of filtering rules and a set of processing rules based on the policy. The apparatus may store the set of filtering rules and the set of processing rules. Upon receiving a discovery message on a device-to-device communication channel, the apparatus applies the set of filtering rules to the discovery message. The device-to-device communication channel may be a wireless communication channel. The apparatus may apply the set of processing rules to the discovery message in response to the discovery message passing the set of filtering rules. The apparatus may rebroadcast the processed discovery message.

Methods, apparatuses and systems are described for conveying location information from an announcing user device to a listening user device engaged in ProSe discovery communications. The announcing user device may use a first expression to broadcast an initial announcement, and then use a second expression to broadcast the location of the announcing user device. The first expression may be in the form of a public expression while the second expression may be in the form of a private expression.

A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for sustaining a link with a wireless network are provided. The apparatus communicates data with the wireless network via a first link with a first base station, acquires a resource to perform a beam training sequence with a second base station, wherein the acquired resource allows the beam training sequence with the second base station to be performed while the data is communicated via the first link, performs the beam training sequence and exchanging signaling information with the second base station using the resource to establish a second link to the second base station, evaluates a link strength of the second link based on the beam training sequence, and determines whether to switch the data communication from the first link to the second link based on the evaluation.
摘要:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for improving uplink communications of machine type communication (MTC) devices. In some embodiments, an MTC device may perform a discovery operation on a first narrow frequency band, establish a first communication link with a discovered relay device on a second narrow frequency band, and transmit MTC data on the second narrow frequency band to the discovered relay device to be relayed to a third device on a second communication link on a broad frequency band. In another embodiment, a first device may participate in a discovery operation with a second device. The first device may establish a communication link with the second device on a first narrow frequency band and receive data from the second device on a second narrow frequency band. The first device may relay the data to a third device over a second communication link on a broad frequency band.
摘要:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for improving uplink communications of a machine type communication (MTC) device by relaying communications through a first device, such as a mobile device or user equipment (UE), to a second device, such as a base station or Evolved-NodeB (eNB). In an embodiment, a relay device may participate in a discovery process to discover an MTC device. The relay device may then receive data from the discovered MTC device, such as through a peer-to-peer link, and relay the data to a base station through a second communication link. In another embodiment, an MTC device may participate in a discovery process with a first device, such as a relay UE. The MTC device may then transmit data to the relay UE for relaying to a second device, such as a base station. In either case, the MTC device may receive data directly from the base station.
