Abstract

See full text

Device discovery may be important in a variety of communication systems including, for example, wireless communication systems. Thus, certain embodiments may provide a device to device beacon design that may provide for efficient interference management and resource allocation. For example, a method may include preparing a proximity communication request including information about a device to device communication state of a discovered user equipment or resource usage of the discovered user equipment. The method may also include transmitting the proximity communication request to a base station.
