1. A method of wireless communication comprising:
- a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) receiving a system information block (SIB) broadcast by an eNodeB;
the WTRU determining that proximity detection for localized applications are supported by the eNodeB based on the received SIB;
the WTRU determining a location of the WTRU and sending the location to the eNodeB;
the WTRU receiving in response to the sending of the determined location a proximity detection associated with a localized application; and
in response to the proximity detection, the WTRU receiving discovery signals from a second WTRU for use in establishing device-to-device communications between the WTRU and the second WTRU;
wherein the localized application is received from the second WTRU via device-to-device communications;
wherein the device-to-device communications are WiFi communications offloaded from a cellular network.

Abstract
Methods of wireless communication and wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs) are described. A WTRU includes a processor. The processor determines a location of the WTRU and whether an application is available to the WTRU based on the determined location of the WTRU. On a condition that the application is determined to be available to the WTRU based on the determined location of the WTRU, the processor initiates a registration to an application service hosting the application.

14. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising:
-
a receiver configured to receive a system information block (SIB) broadcast by an eNodeB; a processor configured to; determine that proximity detection for localized applications are supported by the eNodeB based on the received SIB; determine a location of the WTRU; a transmitter configured to send the location to the eNodeB; the receiver configured to receive in response to the sending of the determined location a proximity detection associated with a localized application; and in response to the proximity detection, the receiver configured to receive discovery signals from a second WTRU for use in establishing device-to-device communications between the WTRU and the second WTRU; wherein the localized application is received from the second WTRU via device-to-device communications;
wherein the device-to-device communications are WiFi communications offloaded from a cellular network. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
