    摘要: Methods, systems, and devices are describe for signaling protocols for device-to-device discovery operations in a wireless communication system. A user equipment (UE) may be communicating with a serving base station using a first frequency in a first frequency band. The UE may transmit, to the serving base station, information associated with performing a discovery scan procedure on a second frequency in a second frequency band during a discovery scan interval. The first frequency may be different from the second frequency. The UE may identify a capability to skip one or more downlink transmissions from the serving base station during the discovery scan interval.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and devices are described that provide for D2D synchronization. The methods, systems, and/or devices may include tools and techniques that provide for synchronizing a mobile device based on detection of a reliability alarm. A reliability alarm may be used between mobile devices, which is transmitted and/or received on specific D2D resources. Since the resources are reserved for the reliability alarm, a mobile device which was previously isolated from network synchronization will be able to receive the reliability alarm that a reliable synchronization signal is close when it moves within range of a reliable device. Once a reliability alarm is received the mobile device may free other resources to allow it to receive synchronization signals from the reliable devices. The mobile device may then synchronize with the network based on the received synchronization signals and transmit its own reliability alarm for subsequent isolated devices to use.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. The methods, systems, and devices may include receiving control information from a serving station, synchronizing with an end device based at least in part on the control information received from the serving station, and receiving an acknowledgement (ACK) from the end device in response to the synchronizing, the ACK indicating the end device is synchronized with the relay device. The methods, systems, and devices may also include receiving a data packet from the end device subsequent to the synchronizing, and transmitting, to the serving station, the data packet received from the end device, the transmitting based at least in part on the control information received from the serving station.
