DEVICE TO DEVICE COMMUNICATION WITH CLUSTER COORDINATING

摘要

Technology for a user equipment (UE) to communicate in a device to device (D2D) network. A D2D discovery beacon can be listened for at the UE for a predetermined period of time. The UE can be self-assigned as a D2D cluster coordinator when the D2D discovery beacon has not been received by the UE for the predetermined period of time. A D2D cluster can be formed to enable D2D communication between D2D UEs in the D2D cluster. A D2D discovery beacon can be transmitted from the D2D cluster coordinator to the D2D UEs within the D2D cluster.
