Methods and apparatus for base station assisted peer discovery through aggregation of expressions

A method of wireless communications, comprising:

• receiving an expression set from a wireless device, wherein the expression set includes one or more instances of an expression, a first temporal frequency, and a first duration of time;
• processing the received expression set to determine each of one or more instances of an expression for transmission at the first temporal frequency over the first duration of time;
• and
• transmitting each of the one or more instances of the expression at the first temporal frequency during the first duration of time.

An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:

• means for generating an expression associated with a wireless device for use in a peer discovery signal;
• means for generating an expression set from the expression, a first temporal frequency, and a first time duration;
• and
• means for transmitting the generated expression set to a base station to allow the base station to broadcast each of the expressions included in the expression set at the first temporal frequency over the first time duration.
