Method and apparatus for improving proximity service discovery in a wireless communication system

摘要

Methods and apparatuses are disclosed to allocating and handling peer discovery resources. One method includes a wireless network allocating multiple sets of peer discovery resources, wherein different sets of peer discovery resources are used by user equipments (UEs) to transmit/receive peer discovery signals for different uses. Another method includes UE receiving a configuration of peer discovery resources from a system information message of a cell, wherein the configuration contains multiple sets of peer discovery resources and different sets of peer discovery resources are used by the UE to receive peer discovery signals for different uses. The method further includes the UE determining which set of peer discovery resources to receive peer discovery signals. The method also includes the UE receiving the peer discovery signals at a set of peer discovery resources determined by the UE.
