INTER-DEVICE SESSION CONNECTIVITY ENHANCEMENT
First Claim
1. A client node, comprising:
- a database comprising identification data and location data associated with a plurality of second client nodes; and
processing logic operable to process the identification data and the location data to identify an individual second client node of the plurality of second client nodes within a viable device-to-device (D2D) communication range;
wherein the processing logic is further operable to initiate an update of the identification data and the location data of the plurality of second client nodes to maintain currency of location data.

Abstract
Devices and methods are provided for managing device-to-device (D2D) communications session in a wireless-enabled communication environment. A first client node comprises a database containing location and ID information associated with a plurality of second client nodes. The location information in the database is updated as individual second client nodes change their location. As the location information is updated, it is processed by the first client node to determine the distance between it and an individual second client node. If the distance between the first client node and the individual second client node is within a viable D2D communications range, then the user of the first client node is notified that a D2D communications session can be initiate with the individual second client node.
