Parameters for device to device discovery

摘要

A user device may receive one or more parameters from a base station to facilitate device-to-device (D2D) discovery. One of the received parameters is a discovery period parameter, which identifies a discovery period in which discovery resources are available for D2D discovery. Once the user device has received the parameters, the user device may use the parameters to participate in D2D discovery.

主权项

1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:
receiving at a user device a plurality of parameters for device-to-device discovery, the plurality of parameters including a discovery period parameter identifying a discovery period in which discovery resources are available for device-to-device discovery, wherein the discovery period is a fraction or a multiple of a maximum system frame number (SFN) of a network in which the user device is used; and using the plurality of parameters in order to participate in discovery with other user devices.
