PROXIMITY DETECTION IN A DEVICE TO DEVICE NETWORK

摘要

A technology for a user equipment (UE) that is operable to communicate in a device to device (D2D) network. A proximity detection request can be communicated to an evolved packet core (EPC). The proximity detection request can include a window parameter, an identification information of a second UE, and a proximity detection signal indicating whether the proximity detection request is for proximity detection of the second UE or for establishing a D2D connection with the second UE. A proximity alert message can be received from the EPC at the window parameter.

1. A user equipment (UE) operable to communicate in a device to device (D2D) network, having computer circuitry configured to:
communicate, to an evolved packet core (EPC), a proximity detection request, wherein the proximity detection request includes: a date window parameter; an identification information of a second UE, and a proximity detection signal indicating whether the proximity detection request is for proximity detection of the second UE or for establishing a D2D connection with the second UE; and receive, from the EPC, a proximity alert message at a selected date based on the date window parameter.
