Wireless communication method and system with controlled WTRU peer-to-peer communications
First Claim
1. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) for infrastructure communication in a wireless network via network base stations and for peer-to-peer communications with other such WTRUs comprising:
- transceiver components that are configured for selective operation in an infrastructure communication mode for infrastructure communication with a network base station and in a peer-to-peer communications mode for peer-to-peer communications with other WTRUs; and
a transceiver controller configured to selectively control peer-to-peer mode communications with other WTRUs based on communication signals received in infrastructure communications with a network base station.

Abstract
A wireless network provides controlled wireless communications with multi-mode wireless WTRUs. The wireless network has at least one base station having a transceiver operating in an infrastructure communication mode with multi mode WTRUs and a controller that transmits control signals via infrastructure communications with a WTRU that control peer-to-peer mode communications of that WTRU with other WTRUs. A WTRU has transceiver components configured for selective operation in an infrastructure communication mode with a network base station and in a peer-to-peer communication mode with other WTRUs. The WTRU also has a transceiver controller configured to selectively control peer-to-peer mode communications with other WTRUs based on communication signals received in infrastructure communications with a network base station. Preferably, the transceiver controller is configured to control the transceiver components to switch between infrastructure communication mode and peer-to-peer communication mode based on Quality of Service criteria.
