First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of operating a first wireless device, comprising:
- receiving a peer discovery signal from a second wireless device on a first resource in a set of resources associated with a particular identifier;
determining whether to relay the peer discovery signal; and
sending the peer discovery signal on a second resource in the set of resources upon determining to relay the peer discovery signal, the second resource being associated with the particular identifier and being the same resource on which the peer discovery signal is sent by the second wireless device.

Abstract
A method of operating a first wireless device includes receiving a peer discovery signal from a second wireless device on a first resource in a set of resources associated with a particular identifier. In addition, the method includes determining whether to relay the peer discovery signal. Furthermore, the method includes sending the peer discovery signal on a second resource in the set of resources upon determining to relay the peer discovery signal. The second resource is associated with the particular identifier and is the same resource on which the peer discovery signal is sent by the second wireless device.
