METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING DIRECTIONAL INFORMATION FOR PEER DISCOVERY IN PEER-TO-PEER WIRELESS NETWORKS

摘要

Methods and apparatus for operating a local device to discover proximal information is disclosed. The method includes receiving a signal from a remote device, determining an identification and a relative bearing of the remote device based on the signal and displaying the identification and the relative bearing of the remote device. The apparatus for operating a local device to discover proximal information includes a processor configured to receive a signal from a remote device and determine an identification and a relative bearing of the remote device based on the signal and a display coupled to the processor, the display configured to display the identification and the relative bearing of the remote device.
