    摘要: A method of operating a wireless device includes determining an energy on each of a plurality of resources for broadcasting CIDs, sending information to a base station based on the determined energy for each of the CIDs, and receiving a CID from the base station. The received CID is one of the CIDs determined based on the information. A method of wireless communication includes receiving first information about a first plurality of CIDs from a first wireless device, receiving second information about a second plurality of CIDs from a second wireless device, comparing the first information and the second information to determine a subset of CIDs based on the first plurality of CIDs and the second plurality of CIDs, selecting a CID based on the subset of CIDs, and sending the selected CID to at least one of the first wireless device or the second wireless device.

    摘要: A wireless communications system supports both cellular communications and direct peer to peer communications. The cellular communications use FDD downlink and uplink bands for control and traffic signaling. An access point employs control over direct peer to peer communications. Peer to peer mode control signals from the access point are transmitted to wireless terminals using the FDD cellular downlink band. Peer to peer mode control signals from wireless terminals are transmitted to an access point using the FDD cellular uplink band. Peer to peer traffic signals between wireless terminals are communicated using a TDD band. In one embodiment, the access point communicates priority information to peer to peer network wireless terminals, and the wireless terminals make peer to peer traffic transmission decisions in a decentralized manner using the received priority information. In another embodiment, the access point directly schedules peer to peer traffic in the peer to peer network.

The peer-to-peer scheduling resources are parallel in time to and multiplexed with non peer-to-peer resources. The peer-to-peer scheduling resources include a plurality of serial scheduling resource segments. Each of the serial scheduling resource segments provides contention resolution for a set of peer-to-peer links. In addition, the method includes communicating in one of the serial scheduling resource segments and/or the non peer-to-peer resources.

    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: 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.

    摘要: A method, a computer program product, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus determines an availability of a wireless wide area network (WWAN) subframe, and utilizes the WWAN subframe for peer-to-peer communication when the WWAN subframe is available. Accordingly, peer mobile terminals or devices may establish direct peer-to-peer links for communicating small amounts of information without affecting the quality of existing WWAN communications. In the wireless wide area network (WWAN) scenario, communication between mobile terminals is facilitated through uplink/downlink channels between the mobile terminals and a base station (i.e., WWAN link). Therefore, for various types of applications, an efficient means of communicating a small amount of information frequently is provided that does not require large amounts of signaling overhead.
