    摘要: Methods and apparatus for determining whether two or more communications devices, e.g., wireless terminals, in a communications system should communicate using direct peer to peer communications or via one or more infrastructure elements, e.g., base stations, are described. The determination whether a given pair of communications devices should communicate using direct peer to peer communications, rather than via the infrastructure element(s), is determined by a control device. The control device instructs various wireless terminals to make various signal measurements and/or transmit signals to be measured. Based on the signal measurements the control device estimates interference caused by the direct peer to peer link to the existing communications devices, the direct peer to peer link channel quality and/or interference caused to such a direct peer to peer link by existing communications devices which are communicating using peer to peer signaling and makes a mode decision based on such information.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for making handoff decisions in an access terminal which can support both best effort and QoS traffic, e.g., when operating in a best effort and QoS mode of operation, respectively, are described. The access terminal receives an indicator indicating the fraction of communications resources not utilized for QoS service and information indicating a number of best effort users being supported by the attachment point. During QoS mode operation, connections to attachment points which can support the access terminal's minimal QoS requirements are identified and then from among the identified set, the attachment point which can provide a connect supporting the most best effort traffic from the access terminal is selected. In best effort mode operation the access terminal selects the attachment point connection which will provide the greatest amount of throughput to the access terminal for best effort traffic.

    摘要: Techniques for transmitting information in a long term evolution (LTE) wireless communication network are disclosed. A base station may receive a first user equipment (UE) expression and first UE location information of a UE seeking peers. The base station may also receive a second UE expression and second UE location information of at least one of the peers. In accordance with the first and second UE expressions and the first and second UE location information, the base station may match ones of the peers proximate to the UE. The base station may transmit, using a data exchange efficiency technique, information to alert the UE to the presence of the peers. This transmission may comprise wide area network (WAN)-specific signaling.

    摘要: A method of operating a wireless device is provided in which the wireless device determines to use one grouping of peer discovery resources of a plurality of groupings of peer discovery resources based on one of a path loss or a distance to a base station. The plurality of groupings include a first grouping of resources having a first plurality of identical subsets of resources and a second grouping of resources having a second plurality of identical subsets of resources. Each of the first plurality of identical subsets of resources extends over at least one of a different time period or a different number of subcarriers than each of the second plurality of identical subsets of resources. The wireless device transmits a peer discovery signal on one subset of the identical subsets of said one grouping of peer discovery resources.

    摘要: In a wireless wide area network (WWAN) scenario, communication between UEs is facilitated through uplink/downlink channels between the UEs and a base station (i.e., WWAN link or WWAN communication). In the case that two communicating UEs are in the vicinity of each other, direct peer-to-peer communication without passing through the base station may reduce a base station load. In some scenarios, it is beneficial for devices, with no or limited WWAN capability to also participate in peer-to-peer communication. Accordingly, a method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in which control information from a user equipment (UE) is received, the control information including information indicating resources for peer-to-peer communication, a peer-to-peer link with the UE to receive authentication information for using the resources is established, and the resources are used to communicate with a peer device.
