Systems and methods for radio resource management

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having program code recorded thereon for providing radio resource management in a wireless communication system, the program code comprising:

• program code for causing one or more computers to:
• identify, by a first network element associated with a first cell, information including timing offset information associated with a discovery signal based on the discovery signal detected from a second network element associated with a second cell;
• and
• provision, based at least in part upon the information associated with the discovery signal detected, one or more protected resources.

An apparatus for providing radio resource management in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured:
• to identify, by a first network element associated with a first cell, information including timing offset information associated with a discovery signal based on the discovery signal detected from a second network element associated with a second cell;
• and
• to provision, based at least in part upon the information associated with the discovery signal detected, one or more protected resources.

A method for providing information for radio resource management in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

• detecting, by a user equipment (UE) associated with a first cell, transmission of a discovery signal from a network element associated with a second cell;
• reporting, by the UE, information including timing offset information associated with the discovery signal for facilitating provisioning one or more protected resources;
• and
• receiving, by the UE, provisioning of one or more protected resources, the provisioning of the one or more protected resources based at least in part upon the information reported by the UE.
