Wireless communication device and methods for synched distributed advertisement for device-to-device discovery

摘要

Examples of a communication device and methods for synched distributed advertisement for device-to-device are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a method can include transmitting, from a first device of a publishing group, at a group publishing beacon interval (T), a first publishing beacon (PB) including social information of the first device and social information of (N−1) other devices, wherein the group publishing beacon interval (T) represents a preset interval of time between each successive publishing beacon transmission of the publishing group, and wherein the first publishing beacon and the each successive publishing beacon includes a first value representative of the group publishing beacon interval.

主权项

1. A method for synched distributed advertisement among peer-to-peer wireless devices, the method comprising:
transmitting, from a first device of a publishing group, at the beginning or end of a group publishing beacon interval (T), a first publishing beacon (PB) including social information of the first device and social information of (N−1) other devices; adding an (N+1) device to the group; transmitting a second publishing beacon from the first device; transmitting a subsequent publishing beacon from the (N+1) device at an interval of time subsequent to transmission of the second publishing beacon, wherein the interval of time is N*T or 2*N*T, and wherein T is the group publishing beacon interval (T); wherein the group publishing beacon interval (T) represents an interval of time between each successive publishing beacon transmission of the publishing group; and wherein the first publishing beacon and the each successive publishing beacon includes a first value representative of the group publishing beacon interval (T).
