1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:

  • performing, by a device, a first peer discovery autonomously for detecting at least one other device, the first peer discovery performed during at least one peer discovery cycle, wherein the performing of the first peer discovery autonomously comprises sending a peer detection signal during the at least one peer discovery cycle at a first rate by the device; and

    performing, by the device, a second peer discovery with network assistance for detecting the at least one other device, the second peer discovery performed during the at least one peer discovery cycle, wherein the performing the second peer discovery comprises;

    sending a peer discovery request including at least one of a service identifier or a device identifier that the device desires to detect;

    receiving a second peer discovery request from the at least one other device; and

    sending the peer detection signal at a rate faster than the first rate by the device in response to the second peer discovery request, wherein the second peer discovery request is received and the peer detection signal is sent at the faster rate for a predetermined period of time, wherein one or more of the sending of the peer detection signal or the sending of the peer discovery request is initiated based on a change in serving cells by the device and sent via the network.
