METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PEER-TO-PEER NETWORK DISCOVERY USING MULTI-USER DIVERSITY

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for improving the effective coverage of nodes within a peer-to-peer (P2P) wireless network.SOLUTION: Collection of nodes of the P2P network can provide a larger aggregate effective coverage footprint than any given single node. This inherent multi-site property of P2P wireless networks can be exploited to provide each node with benefits of multi-user diversity, thus improving discovery of devices in the P2P network.
