摘要： Methods and apparatus for supporting peer to peer communications are described. A peer to peer communications device uses both wide area network (WAN) uplink and downlink communications air link resources for peer to peer signaling. During an uplink share mode of operation a peer to peer wireless terminal uses a wide area network uplink communications band to communicate peer to peer signals, and the peer to peer wireless terminal implements a first transmission power control function. During a downlink share mode of operation, the peer to peer wireless terminal uses a wide area network downlink communications band to communicate peer to peer signals, and the peer to peer wireless terminal implements a second transmission power control function. The second power control function is different from the first power control function.

摘要： A method and system are provided that allows a wireless terminal to share an allocated frequency spectrum for communications over two different networks while mitigating cross interference. For wireless terminals equipped with a single antenna, interference mitigation may be achieved by allocating first communication channels to a first network and allocating second communication channels to a second network, wherein the second communication channels are allocated within one or more of the first communication channels. For wireless terminals having multiple antennas, interference mitigation may be achieved with two orthogonally polarized antennas, where each antenna is used for communications with a different network. Consequently, a wireless terminal having a channel allocation for communicating over the first wireless network may reuse the same channel allocation to establish a communication link with a second wireless terminal via a second wireless network using at least part of the channel allocation for the first wireless network.

摘要： Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate choosing parameters to utilize in a local area peer-to-peer network. The parameters may relate to tone spacing, cyclic prefix, symbol time and the like. Further, the parameters may be a function of a state (e.g. peer discovery state control related traffic state, data related traffic state, . . . ) associated with the local area peer-to-peer network. Moreover, the local area peer-to-peer network may share spectrum with a wide area network; as such, parameters for the peer-to-peer network may be selected based on the type of wide area network (e.g., air interface technology)and/or wide area network related parameters.

摘要： In an ad hoc peer-to-peer communication network between wireless devices, a high priory first receiver device is configured to perform successive interference cancellation (SIC). The first receiver device sends a first rate report signal and a second rate report signal to a first transmitter device indicating a first and second transmission rates. A connection is established between the first transmitter device and the first receiver device in which the first receiver device is the intended receiver of traffic signals from the first transmitter device. The first receiver device receives a traffic signal in a subsequent traffic channel, the traffic signal including a first traffic signal from the first transmitter device having a first traffic transmission rate not exceeding the first transmission rate. The received traffic signal also includes a second traffic signal transmitted by an interfering second transmitter device having a second traffic transmission rate not exceeding the second transmission rate.

摘要： In an ad hoc peer-to-peer communications network, timing synchronization can be facilitated between nodes as a function of a received timing of nearby nodes, as well as a network timing. A first timing reference can be used to determine a symbol timing. A second signal that includes a second timing reference can be used to determine a difference between the symbol timing and the second timing reference. The difference can be used to adjust a symbol timing, which can be transmitted to nearby nodes. The first timing reference and the second timing reference can be received from different sources.

摘要： Methods and apparatus related to the communication of traffic in peer to peer communications are described. A peer to peer communications system includes traffic slots, and for a pair of devices (first and second) having a connection a first transmission request resource and a second transmission request resource are associated with a traffic transmission interval of the traffic slot, the first request resource preceding the second request resource. The first device can utilize the first resource to transmit a request to transmit traffic to the second device, and when it does, it also uses the second resource to transmit additional information corresponding to the request and/or traffic. If the second device doesn't detect a request on the first resource, then it can use the second resource to transmit a request to first device to transmit traffic to the first device.

摘要： Methods and apparatus related to broadcasting data and interference management in a peer to peer wireless communications network are described. Scheduling of traffic air link resources is performed on a slot by slot basis in a decentralized manner. Wireless devices intending to broadcast traffic signals transmit broadcast request signals, sometimes alternatively referred to as broadcast indicator signals. A priority level is associated with each of the broadcast request signals. A receiver device intending to receive broadcast signals detects the broadcast request signals and makes an interference determination as to whether the higher priority broadcast traffic signal can be successfully recovered in the presence of lower priority broadcast traffic signals. If the determination is that the expected interference from the lower priority broadcast traffic is unacceptable, the receiver device generates and transmits an interference control signal communicating to the lower priority device a command or request not to broadcast.

摘要： A wireless communications device transmits during a first time using a single tone and during a second time using a plurality of tones. The wireless communications device uses linear power amplification for transmitting multi-tone signals and non-linear power amplification for transmitting at least some single tone signals. In some embodiments a linear amplification range on a first amplifier's characteristic curve is used for the linear amplification and a non-linear amplification range on the first amplifier's characteristic curve is used for the non-linear amplification. Filtering subsequent to the amplification is controlled to accommodate the type of amplification being used. In some embodiments, the decision as to whether to use linear amplification or non-linear amplification is a function of whether the intended transmitted signal is to be a single tone signal or a multi-tone signal. In some embodiments, the decision is also a function of intended range.

摘要： Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate identifying peers based upon encoded signals during peer discovery in a peer to peer network. For example, direct signaling that partitions a time-frequency resource into a number of segments can be utilized to communicate an identifier within a peer discovery interval; thus, a particular segment selected for transmission can signal a portion of the identifier, while a remainder can be signaled based upon tones communicated within the selected segment. Moreover, a subset of symbols within the resource can be reserved (e.g., unused) to enable identifying and/or correcting timing offset. Further, signaling can be effectuated over a plurality of peer discovery intervals such that partial identifiers communicated during each of the peer discovery intervals can be linked (e.g., based upon overlapping bits and/or bloom filter information).
