Coexistence of priority broadcast and unicast in peer-to-peer networks

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for receiving a first broadcast signal from a second apparatus comprising information indicating an intention to use a unicast resource for a broadcast, wherein the unicast resource is designated for unicast transmissions;
• means for receiving a first scheduling signal from the second apparatus in a scheduling resource, the first scheduling signal for indicating a second intention to use the unicast resource for transmitting a second broadcast signal;
• and
• means for refraining from transmitting a second scheduling signal in the scheduling resource in response to the first scheduling signal.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• a processing system configured to:
• receive a first broadcast signal from a second apparatus comprising information indicating an intention to use a unicast resource for a broadcast, wherein the unicast resource is designated for unicast transmissions;
• receive a first scheduling signal from the second apparatus in a scheduling resource, the first scheduling signal for indicating a second intention to use the unicast resource for transmitting a second broadcast signal;
• and
• refrain from transmitting a second scheduling signal in the scheduling resource in response to the first scheduling signal.

A computer program product in a first wireless device, comprising:

• a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code for:
• receiving a first broadcast signal from a second wireless device comprising information indicating an intention to use a unicast resource for a broadcast, wherein the unicast resource is designated for unicast transmissions;
• receiving a first scheduling signal from the second wireless device in a scheduling resource, the first scheduling signal for indicating a second intention to use the unicast resource for transmitting a second broadcast signal;
• and
• refraining from transmitting a second scheduling signal in the scheduling resource in response to the first scheduling signal.
