Abstract
A method of operating a first wireless communication device to perform D2D discovery includes obtaining multiple discovery message detection results, and determining a D2D discovery status of a second wireless communication device based on the multiple discovery message detection results. Using multiple discovery message detection results to determine the D2D discovery status of the second wireless communication device significantly increases the reliability of D2D discovery, thereby increasing the likelihood that a device available for D2D communication will be detected, while reducing the likelihood of false detections.
Claims22
A method of operating a first wireless communication device to perform device-to-device, D2D, detection, comprising:
- obtaining a plurality of discovery message detection results;
- and
- determining a D2D discovery status of a second wireless device based on the plurality of discovery message detection results.
A first wireless communication device comprising:
- a wireless transceiver;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory containing instructions that are executable by the processor whereby the first wireless communication device is operable to obtain a plurality of discovery message detection results using the wireless transceiver and determine a D2D, device-to-device, discovery status of a second wireless communication device based on the plurality of discovery message detection results.
