PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a system for operator-assisted device-to-device (D2D) discovery.SOLUTION: The method includes a transmission station in an operator network receiving a request for data service from a requesting wireless device. The transmission station identifies a serving wireless device to provide the data service for the requesting wireless device. The transmission station also transmits a device discovery message to the requesting wireless device and the serving wireless device. The device discovery message provides a device discovery period for communication via an ad-hoc, D2D network between the requesting wireless device and the serving wireless device. The ad-hoc, D2D network provides device-to-device communication.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
