Abstract: The techniques introduced here provide for network assisted device-to-device communication for peer-to-peer applications. The techniques include registering a user's peer-to-peer application identifier with a peer-to-peer application server, registering a user's peer-to-peer application ID with a device-to-device server, sending a peer-to-peer service request to the peer-to-peer application server, and receiving network assistance in discovering a peer with the desired P2P content/service and establishing a device-to-device communication arrangement for exchange of peer-to-peer services. The network assistance is provided over the user plane.

Abstract: A first user equipment (UE) operable to perform wireless wide area network (WWAN) operator-assisted device-to-device (D2D) communications with a second UE is disclosed. The first UE can process D2D discovery and wireless local area network (WLAN) configuration information received from a WWAN when the first UE and the second UE are within a WLAN direct communications range. The first UE can initiate operator-assisted WLAN direct communications with the second UE within the WLAN direct communications range using the D2D discovery and WLAN configuration information received from the WWAN.
