Abstract

A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be a UE. The UE determines a second set of resource block pairs on which to transmit a peer discovery message in a second time cycle based on a mapping of a first set of resource block pairs in a first time cycle to the second set of resource block pairs in the second time cycle. The mapping is a one-to-one mapping between each resource block pair in the first set of resource block pairs to a corresponding resource block pair in the second set of resource block pairs. Resource block pairs in the first set of resource block pairs may be in adjacent allocated resources. The UE transmits the peer discovery message in the determined second set of resource block pairs.

Claims (42)

1. A method of wireless communication of a user equipment (UE), comprising:

determining a second set of resource block pairs on which to transmit a peer discovery message in a second time cycle based on a mapping of a first set of resource block pairs in a first time cycle to the second set of resource block pairs in the second time cycle, the mapping being a one-to-one mapping between each resource block pair in the first set of resource block pairs to a corresponding resource block pair in the second set of resource block pairs; and

transmitting the peer discovery message in the determined second set of resource block pairs, wherein the peer discovery message is transmitted with information indicating a message that is based on an order of a particular resource block pair within the second set of resource block pairs.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the resource block pairs in the first set of resource block pairs are in adjacent allocated resources.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein resource block pairs in the second set of resource block pairs are in non-adjacent allocated resources.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

sending information indicating the determined second set of resource block pairs to a base station; and

receiving an indication from the base station whether the determined second set of resource block pairs can be utilized.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a plurality of sets of resource block pairs in the second time cycle based on a mapping of resource block pairs in the first time cycle to resource block pairs in the second time cycle;

determining a received power associated with the plurality of sets of resource block pairs in the second time cycle, the plurality of sets of resource block pairs including the second set of resource block pairs;

determining that the second set of resource block pairs has a received power less than a threshold; and

determining to transmit the peer discovery message in the second set of resource block pairs upon determining that the second set of resource block pairs has a received power less than the threshold.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating the message based on an order of a particular resource block pair within the second set of resource block pairs.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising selecting a pilot sequence from a plurality of pilot sequences based on the message, wherein the information indicating the message is the selected pilot sequence and the selected pilot sequence is transmitted in reference signals within the particular resource block pair carrying the peer discovery message.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the message is transmitted in the particular resource block pair within the peer discovery message.

9. An apparatus for wireless communication, the apparatus being a user equipment (UE), comprising:

means for determining a second set of resource block pairs on which to transmit a peer discovery message in a second time cycle based on a mapping of a first set of resource block pairs in a first time cycle to the second set of resource block pairs in the second time cycle, the mapping being a one-to-one mapping between each resource block pair in the first set of resource block pairs to a corresponding resource block pair in the second set of resource block pairs, resource block pairs in the first set of resource block pairs being in adjacent allocated resources; and

means for transmitting the peer discovery message in the determined second set of resource block pairs, wherein the peer discovery message is transmitted with information indicating a message that is based on an order of a particular resource block pair within the second set of resource block pairs.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the resource block pairs in the first set of resource block pairs are in adjacent allocated resources.

11. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein resource block pairs in the second set of resource block pairs are in non-adjacent allocated resources.

12. The apparatus of claim 9 , further comprising:

means for sending information indicating the determined second set of resource block pairs to a base station; and

means for receiving an indication from the base station whether the determined second set of resource block pairs can be utilized.

13. The apparatus of claim 9 , further comprising:

means for determining a plurality of sets of resource block pairs in the second time cycle based on a mapping of resource block pairs in the first time cycle to resource block pairs in the second time cycle;

means for determining a received power associated with the plurality of sets of resource block pairs in the second time cycle, the plurality of sets of resource block pairs including the second set of resource block pairs;

means for determining that the second set of resource block pairs has a received power less than a threshold; and

means for determining to transmit the peer discovery message in the second set of resource block pairs upon determining that the second set of resource block pairs has a received power less than the threshold.

14. The apparatus of claim 9 , further comprising:

means for generating the message based on an order of a particular resource block pair within the second set of resource block pairs.

15. The apparatus of claim 14 , further comprising means for selecting a pilot sequence from a plurality of pilot sequences based on the message, wherein the information indicating the message is the selected pilot sequence and the selected pilot sequence is transmitted in reference signals within the particular resource block pair carrying the peer discovery message.

16. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the message is transmitted in the particular resource block pair within the peer discovery message.

17. An apparatus for wireless communication, the apparatus being a user equipment (UE), comprising:

a memory; and

at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:

determine a second set of resource block pairs on which to transmit a peer discovery message in a second time cycle based on a mapping of a first set of resource block pairs in a first time cycle to the second set of resource block pairs in the second time cycle, the mapping being a one-to-one mapping between each resource block pair in the first set of resource block pairs to a corresponding resource block pair in the second set of resource block pairs, resource block pairs in the first set of resource block pairs being in adjacent allocated resources; and

transmit the peer discovery message in the determined second set of resource block pairs, wherein the peer discovery message is transmitted with information indicating a message that is based on an order of a particular resource block pair within the second set of resource block pairs.

18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer executable code, comprising code for:

determining a second set of resource block pairs on which to transmit a peer discovery message in a second time cycle based on a mapping of a first set of resource block pairs in a first time cycle to the second set of resource block pairs in the second time cycle, the mapping being a one-to-one mapping between each resource block pair in the first set of resource block pairs to a corresponding resource block pair in the second set of resource block pairs, resource block pairs in the first set of resource block pairs being in adjacent allocated resources; and

transmitting the peer discovery message in the determined second set of resource block pairs, wherein the peer discovery message is transmitted with information indicating a message that is based on an order of a particular resource block pair within the second set of resource block pairs.
