SELECTIVELY TRIGGERING A COMMUNICATIVE ACTION BASED ON WHETHER A QUORUM CONDITION FOR A PEER-TO-PEER GROUP IS SATISFIED

摘要

In an embodiment, a UE obtains one or more quorum conditions for communication with a given group from a set of groups to which the UE is registered. The UE searches, over a P2P interface, to identify one or more group members that are registered to the given group and which are proximate to the UE. The UE determines whether the identified one or more group members are sufficient to satisfy at least one of the one or more quorum conditions. The UE selectively triggers a communicative action associated with the given group based on whether the determining determines the at least one quorum condition to be satisfied.
