Peer-to-peer relaying of discovery information

An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:

• means for discovering, via device-to-device communications using a first wireless signal comprising a first one or more data packets, goods or services provided by one or more vendors;
• means for maintaining a database of one or more elements related to the goods or services;
• means for discovering, via device-to-device communications using a second wireless signal comprising a second one or more data packets, interest in the goods or services by one or more devices;
• and
• means for sharing, based at least in part on the discovery of interest, at least one of the one or more elements related to the goods or services with the one or more interested devices only when another apparatus has not already shared the at least one of the one or more elements related to the goods or services with the one or more interested devices,
• wherein the means for sharing shares the at least one element with the one or more interested devices, via a third wireless signal comprising a third one or more data packets.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• a processing system configured to:
• discover, via device-to-device communications using a first wireless signal comprising a first one or more data packets, goods or services provided by one or more vendors,
• maintain a database of one or more elements related to the goods or services,
• discover, via device-to-device communications using a second wireless signal comprising a second one or more data packets, interest in the goods or services by one or more devices, and
• a transmitter configured to share, based at least in part on the discovery of interest, at least one of the one or more elements related to the goods or with the one or more interested devices only when another apparatus has not already shared the at least one of the one or more elements related to the goods or services with the one or more interested devices,
• wherein the transmitter is configured to share the at least one element with the one or more interested devices, via a third wireless signal comprising a third one or more data packets.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer executable code stored thereon for:

• discovering, via device-to-device communications using a first wireless signal comprising a first one or more data packets, goods or services provided by one or more vendors;
• maintaining a database of one or more elements related to the goods or services;
• discovering, via device-to-device communications using a second wireless signal comprising a second one or more data packets, interest in the goods or services by one or more devices;
• and
• sharing, based at least in part on the discovery of interest, at least one of the one or more elements related to the goods or services with the one or more interested devices only when another apparatus has not already shared the at least one of the one or more elements related to the goods or services with the one or more interested devices,
• wherein the sharing comprises sharing the at least one element with the one or more interested devices, via a third wireless signal comprising a third one or more data packets.
