METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CAUSING A SHARED DATASET TO BE SHARED OVER A SECONDARY LOGICAL CHANNEL

摘要

An apparatus may include a communication mode determination module configured to cause a request for device-to-device communication to be shared. Further, a shared dataset module may be configured to cause a shared dataset comprising data of a first device and data of other devices to be shared. The shared dataset module may assemble the shared dataset by configuring at least the data of the other devices for transmission on a secondary logical channel in an instance in which the shared dataset is to be transmitted. Further, the shared dataset module may disassemble the shared dataset into at least the data of the other devices from the secondary logical channel in an instance in which the shared dataset has been received. The data of the first device may be configured for transmission on a primary logical channel. A user identification module may attach a user identification to the data of each of the other devices. Additionally, or alternatively, a secondary logical channel module may assign a unique identifier to the secondary logical channel. Thereby, for example, efficiencies may be achieved using combinations of device-to-device and network communications.
