METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR BEACON TRANSMISSION

摘要

Various methods and apparatuses for beacon transmission in an ad-hoc peer-to-peer network are disclosed. In one aspect, an apparatus for communication is disclosed, the apparatus comprising a processing system configured to determine device-independent beacon data, determine device-dependent beacon data, and to spread the device-dependent beacon data using one or more spreading codes anda transmitter configured to transmit one or more beacons during a beacon transmission period, wherein each beacon comprises the device-independent beacon data and the spread device-dependent beacon data.
