| 摘要 |
The present invention discloses a device discovery method, a user equipment, a server, and a system, which relate to the field of communications technologies, and can reduce signaling interaction in a process of discovering a nearby device and lower power consumption of the UE. The method in the present invention mainly includes: receiving, by a server, a discovery request, where the discovery request is used to request to discover another UE near a user equipment UE, and the discovery request includes a discovery category indication; generating discovery configuration information according to the discovery category indication, and sending the discovery configuration information to a base station or the UE, so that the base station or the UE discovers another UE near the UE according to the discovery configuration information, where the discovery configuration information is used to configure a parameter that is used when the base station or the UE detects another nearby UE; and receiving a discovery result sent by the base station or the UE. Embodiments of the present invention are mainly applied to a proximity-based device discovery process. |
