Abstract
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus receives, from a second UE, a first signal including a first expression code associated with the second UE, and determines at least a second expression code using the first expression code, the at least a second expression code associated with the second UE.
Claims22
A method of communication for a network device comprising:
- receiving, from a first user equipment (UE), a request for location information associated with a discovered second UE, the request for location information being a request for a current location of the second UE, the location information comprising the current location of the second UE including GPS coordinates of the second UE;
- determining whether the first UE is authorized to receive the location information;
- sending a message configured to initiate reporting of the location information by the second UE based on the determination;
- and
- sending a message to the first UE comprising a location-carrying code to be announced by the second UE along with the location information associated with the second UE, or a security key to enable determination of the location information to be announced by the second UE, the second UE being different than the first UE.
2 more elements
A method of wireless communication for a first user equipment (UE), comprising:
- discovering a second UE through a proximity service (ProSe) discovery, Bluetooth Low-Energy (BTLE) discovery, or Wi-Fi Alliance Neighbor-aware Networking (WFA NAN) discovery;
- sending, to a network device, a request for location information associated with the second UE, the request for location information being a request for a current location of the second UE, the location information including the current location of the second UE including GPS coordinates of the second UE;
- and
- receiving a message from the network device comprising a location-carrying code to be announced by the second UE along with the location information associated with the second UE, or a security key to enable determination of the location information to be announced by the second UE, the second UE being different than the first UE.
1 more element
A network device, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
- receive, from a first user equipment (UE), a request for location information associated with a discovered second UE, the request for location information being a request for a current location of the second UE, the location information comprising the current location of the second UE including GPS coordinates of the second UE;
- determine whether the first UE is authorized to receive the location information;
- send a message configured to initiate reporting of the location information by the second UE based on the determination;
- and
- send a message to the first UE comprising a location-carrying code to be announced by the second UE along with the location information associated with the second UE, or a security key to enable determination of the location information to be announced by the second UE, the second UE being different than the first UE.
