Abstract
Certain embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method and an apparatus for managing and optimizing service discovery in a peer-to-peer (P2P) wireless network. Nodes of the P2P network advertise their capabilities to their peers in the form of services. Efficient propagation and management of node's services to other nodes is proposed in the present disclosure.
Claims43
A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- receiving, at a first communication device, a first signal from a second communication device over a peer-to-peer connection between the first communication device and the second communication device;
- receiving, at the first communication device, a second signal from an access point of a cellular network;
- and
- performing a location-based operation at the first communication device with respect to the second communication device based on the first and second signals.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- means for receiving, at a first communication device, a first signal from a second communication device over a peer-to-peer connection between the first communication device and the second communication device;
- means for receiving, at the first communication device, a second signal from an access point of a cellular network;
- and
- means for performing a location-based operation at the first communication device with respect to the second communication device based on the first and second signals.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory in electronic communication with the processor, the memory embodying instructions, the instructions being executable by the processor to:
- receive, at a first communication device, a first signal from a second communication device over a peer-to-peer connection between the first communication device and the second communication device;
- receive, at the first communication device, a second signal from an access point of a cellular network;
- and
- perform a location-based operation at the first communication device with respect to the second communication device based on the first and second signals.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions, which when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:
- receive, at a first communication device, a first signal from a second communication device over a peer-to-peer connection between the first communication device and the second communication device;
- receive, at the first communication device, a second signal from an access point of a cellular network;
- and
- perform a location-based operation at the first communication device with respect to the second communication device based on the first and second signals.
