Resource allocation for the coexistence of peer discovery and legacy LTE traffic

摘要

A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus allocates K blocks of subframes for WAN and peer-to-peer communications in a discovery period T and remaining subframes in the discovery period T for WAN communications and allocates a first set of subframes for peer discovery and a second set of subframes for the WAN communications in each block of the K blocks.

主权项

1. A method of wireless communication of a base station, comprising:
determining an integer value K based on at least one of power consumed due to powering UEs on and off, a proportion of delay sensitive WAN traffic, hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) transmissions, or a density of UEs of an area; allocating, by at least one processor of the base station, the integer value K number of blocks of subframes for WAN and peer-to-peer communications in a peer discovery period and remaining subframes in the peer discovery period for the WAN communications, each block of the K blocks comprising a plurality of subframes; allocating a first set of subframes of the plurality of subframes for the peer-to-peer communications and a second set of subframes of the plurality of subframes for the WAN communications in each block of the K blocks; and monitoring for uplink transmissions from a UE during one or more subframes of the second set of subframes allocated for the WAN communications in each of the K blocks of subframes.
