- the network infrastructure 104 includes an evolved packet core (EPC) 106 and an E-UTRAN 108.
- the EPC 106 includes mobility management entities (MME) and serving gateways (S-GW) 112 that communicate with eNodeBs 1 10 in the E-UTRAN 108 over an SI interface.
- MME mobility management entities
- S-GW serving gateways
- the SI interface as defined by 3GPP supports a many-to-many relation between EPC 106 and eNodeBs 1 10. For example, different operators may simultaneously operate the same eNodeB 1 10 (this is also known as "network sharing").
- the E-UTRAN 108 is a packet switched 3 GPP RAN for LTE (i.e., 3.9G) and LTE-Advanced (i.e., 4G) that was first introduced in 3GPP Release 8 and continues to evolve.
- LTE Long Term Evolution
- LTE-Advanced LTE-Advanced
- 4G LTE-Advanced
- the eNodeBs 110 are more intelligent than legacy Node Bs of a universal terrestrial radio access network (UTRAN) used in universal mobile telecommunication systems (UMTS or 3G).
- UTRAN universal terrestrial radio access network
- UMTS or 3G universal mobile telecommunication systems
- RNC radio network controller
- eNodeBs 1 10 are connected with each other by means of an X2 interface that allows the eNodeBs 1 10 to forward or share information.
- the UEs 102 may include a radio that is configured to transmit and receive signals in a licensed wireless spectrum corresponding to the eNodeBs 1 10.
- the UEs 102 are in
- the UEs 102 and eNodeBs 1 10 may communicate control data and/or user data with each other.
- a downlink (DL) transmission in an LTE network can be defined as a communication from the eNodeB 1 10 to the UE 102, and an uplink (UL) transmission can be defined as a communication from the UE 102 to the eNodeB 1 10.
- the UEs 102 are also shown communicating directly with each other over a Ud air interface. Direct communication between devices is commonly known as proximity services (ProSe), device-to-device (D2D)
- a UE 102 is able to communicate with D2D, or peer-to-peer (P2P) communication.
- P2P peer-to-peer
- D2D is a powerful technique for increasing network throughput by enabling direct communications between mobile stations rather than using network infrastructure 104, and has a wide variety of applications. For example, D2D has been proposed for local social networks, content sharing, location-based marketing, service advertisements, public safety networks, mobile-to-mobile applications, etc. D2D communications are of interest due to their ability to reduce load on a core network (such as the EPC 106) or a radio access network (such as the E-UTRAN 108), increase data rates due to direct and short communication paths, provide public safety communication paths, and provide other functionality.
- the UEs may be connected to different eNodeBs or to completely different networks operated by different mobile network operators (MNOs).
- MNOs mobile network operators
- the D2D air interface Ud could be realized by some type of short- range technology, such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, or by reusing licensed LTE spectrum, such as a UL spectrum.
- D2D communications can be generally divided into two parts. The first part is device discovery, whereby UEs 102 are able to determine that they are within range and/or available for D2D communication. Proximity detection may be assisted by network infrastructure 104, may be performed at least partially by the UEs 102, or may be performed largely independent of the network infrastructure 104.
- the second part is direct communication, or D2D communication, between UEs 102, which includes a process to establish a D2D session between UEs 102 as well as the actual communication of user or application data.
- D2D communication may or may not be under continuous control of an MNO.
- the UEs 102 may not need to have an active connection with an eNodeB 110 in order to take part in D2D communications.
- restricted D2D discovery also known as closed D2D discovery
- open D2D discovery also known as promiscuous D2D discovery
- Restricted D2D discovery applies to use cases wherein a discoverable device may be discovered only by a select set of ProSe enabled discovering devices. For example, only pre-identified or selected devices may be allowed to connect, such as devices identified or selected by the network, a P2P server, an application, or a user. Thus, for this use case, a discovering device would be assumed to know, in advance, the ProSe enabled device it wishes to discover in its proximity, including any corresponding identifiers.
- open device discovery considers use cases wherein a discoverable device may want itself to be discovered by any or all ProSe enabled devices in its proximity. From the perspective of the discovering device, open device discovery implies that a discovering device may not be assumed to be aware of the identity of other ProSe enabled devices prior to discovery. Consequently, the device discovery mechanism for open discovery may aim towards discovering as many ProSe enabled devices in its proximity as possible.
- an eNodeB has limited control of the discovery process among UEs.
- an eNodeB may periodically allocate certain discovery resources in the form of D2D discovery regions (e.g., time/frequency resources such as resource blocks or subframes) for UEs 102 to transmit the discovery information.

- discovery packet is given to mean a packet of information comprising a preamble or header and payload data.
- discovery packet is to be broadly construed as referring not only to a logical data structure but also to a logical resource structure.
- discovery packet encompasses not only payload data but also physical layer signaling (such as reference signals) and control data.
- Figure 2 illustrates one embodiment of a basic structure for a time-frequency resource as defined in LTE.
- the resource includes a plurality of radio frames with a length of about 10 milliseconds (ms).
- Each radio frame includes a grid of subframes, each with a length of about 1 ms.

- the communication mode component 302 controls a communication mode of one or more radios of the UE 102.
- the UE 102 may include one or more two-way radios and/or antennas for receiving and uploading data to the network infrastructure 104.
- the same radio or antenna may be used for both signal transmission and reception, but generally not at the same time.
- the communication mode component 302 is configured to switch the respective radios from a reception mode to a transmission mode and from a transmission mode to a reception mode, as needed. The process of ramping up or ramping down power in a radio or on an antenna to place it in a desired mode takes some time and thus there is often a need for a guard period or puncturing of a resource structure to allow for the switch.
- T s x 624 is assumed for both transmission mode to reception mode switching and reception mode to transmission mode switching. This amount of time is meant to allow for communication mode switching times as well as propagation delays for receiving transmitted signals.
- a guard period may be included to allow for the switch in communication modes and propagation delays. Further discussion of guard periods will take place in relation to the guard period component 310.

- the scheduling component 306 may determine whether the UE 102 needs to participate in device-to-device discovery. If the scheduling component 306 determines a need to establish a D2D session, the scheduling component 306 may schedule the allocated resources for transmitting discovery information or listening for discovery information transmitted by a peer UE.
- the reference signal component 308 may determine or generate a reference signal for transmission.
- Reference signals are often included in wireless transmission to allow receiving devices to estimate the channel, synchronize in time, synchronize in frequency, or the like.
- Example reference signals in LTE include sounding reference signals (SRS) and demodulation reference signals (DM-RS).
- SRS sounding reference signals
- DM-RS demodulation reference signals
- reference signals include signals based on a basic sequence and modified by a cyclic shift or orthogonal cover code to reduce interference and allow a receiving device to distinguish the transmission from transmissions of other devices.
- a sequence and modifications are preconfigured or predefined (e.g., by a communication standard or by previous physical layer or higher layer signaling) such that a UE 102 knows what reference signal sequence to use, and devices or systems interested in receiving transmissions know what to expect.
- the reference signal component 308 randomly selects a sequence for transmitting a D2D discovery transmission. For example, the reference signal component 308 may randomly select a cyclic shift or an index for an orthogonal cover code and allow a receiving UE to blindly determine what cyclic shift or orthogonal cover code was used.
- a basic sequence may be configured by network infrastructure 104 or by a protocol, and the reference signal component 308 may randomly select a modification to the basic sequence to transmit.
- the reference signal component 308 may randomly select a sequence for a reference signal for transmission during a resource allocated by an eNodeB 1 10 for device-to- device discovery. Further details of reference signals, sequence selection, and reference signal generation will be discussed in relation to the blind sequence detection component 316 and later figures.
- the guard period component 310 is configured to determine a guard period for a D2D discovery period. For example, the guard period component 310 may determine a guard period for a first symbol of an OFDM resource allocated for discovery.
- resources allocated for D2D discovery may be located following another resource block or frame where a UE needs to switch a communication mode.
- the UE 102 may be receiving a DL communication from an eNodeB 110 in the previous subframe or frame and may need to ramp up power on the same radio to transmit a discovery packet during the resource allocated for D2D discovery.
- the UE 102 may be transmitting a UL communication in the previous subframe or frame and may need to ramp down power on the same radio to listen for a discovery packet during the resource allocated for D2D discovery.

- the guard period component 310 may receive an indication of a reference signal and/or data to be transmitted during the first symbol and generate the first signal or determine a structure of the first signal within the first symbol.
- the guard period component 310 determines a signal for a partially punctured first symbol.
- punctured is given to mean that the basic resource structure is modified to prohibit or limit a requirement to transmit or receive data during the punctured portion of the resource. For example, even if a signal is transmitted during a punctured portion, a receiving device may be able to receive the same data during a non-punctured portion of the resource structure. On the other hand, transmission or reception during the punctured portion may be prohibited.
- the guard period component 310 determines the signal for the first symbol by determining or generating a repeating signal for the first symbol.
- the signal for the first symbol may include a repeating reference signal or a repeating data signal.
- the reference signal or data may be repeated twice within the first symbol to allow transmitting or receiving devices to transmit or receive the second transmission. For example, if a UE 102 was transmitting in a resource block immediately preceding a resource allocated for discovery, the UE 102 may finish transmission, and the communication mode component 302 may switch the corresponding radio to a reception mode. However, due to the delay in switching, the UE 102 may not be able to receive a first portion of a signal transmitted in the first symbol.
- the UE 102 is ready to receive the signal, and no data or information is lost because the missed portion is repeated.
- the signal may be repeated two, three, or more times in the first symbol to allow for devices to switch, if needed.
- the guard period component 310 may drop a last repetition of a signal and move the signal backwards by the length of the dropped repetition to provide for a punctured first symbol (e.g., see Figures 4 and 5). For example, a cyclic prefix (CP) and first repetition block may be moved backwards in time, and a last repetition may be dropped from the first symbol.
- CP cyclic prefix
- the guard period component 310 generates a guard period by determining a signal for the first symbol that does not include power or information in a first portion of the first symbol but has power or information during a second portion of the first symbol.

- the first portion may correspond to an amount of time that allows for communication mode switching, such as T s x 624 as discussed above.
- the first portion has a length of about 20 ms or more.
- the first portion has a length corresponding to about one-third of a time length of the first symbol.
- first symbol may have a length of about 1 ms divided by 14 (for 14 symbols), or 14 symb0ls 3 ⁇ 4
- the first portion may have a length of — — 3 ⁇ 4 20 ⁇ 5.
- the first portion has a length corresponding to about one-half of a time length of the first symbol.
- the first portion may have a length of — — 3 ⁇ 4 35.5 ⁇ 5.
- the guard period component 310 generates a guard period based on interleaved frequency division multiple access (IFDMA).
- IFDMA interleaved frequency division multiple access
- the guard period component 310 may also create a guard period in a last symbol of discovery to allow for timing changes or communication mode switches at an end of D2D discovery.

- the transmission component 312 may transmit a D2D discovery packet in an OFDM structure, such as in an OFDM resource block or subframe, with a partially punctured first symbol.
- the transmission component 312 transmits the first symbol of the discovery packet without power on one or more of the subcarriers during the first symbol.

- the discovery information includes a reference signal that was generated using a reference signal sequence that is unknown to the receiving UE 102.
- the transmitting UE may have transmitted the reference signal based on a randomly selected sequence, as discussed above in relation to the reference signal component 308.
- the blind sequence detection component 316 is configured to determine an unknown sequence for a received reference signal. For example, the blind sequence detection component 316 may determine a cyclic shift or orthogonal cover code used to generate a reference signal received in a discovery packet. In one embodiment, the blind sequence detection component 316 determines the unknown sequence by comparing the received reference signal with reference signals generating known cyclic shifts or orthogonal cover codes. For example, a basic sequence for the discovery packet may be known, but the specific cyclic shift or orthogonal cover code may be unknown.
- a DM-RS blind detection algorithm which targets to find a candidate sequence with maximum correlation energy to the actual received reference signal can be employed to determine the cyclic shift of the DM-RS sequence of the transmit UEs.
- the blind sequence detection component 316 may determine the unknown sequence by attempting to interpret the reference signal using one or more potential cyclic shifts or orthogonal cover codes for a known basic sequence. For example, the blind sequence detection component 316 may attempt to interpret using a first potential cyclic shift and, if unsuccessful, try a second potential cyclic shift, and so on until the correct cyclic shift is attempted. Similar attempts may be performed with potential orthogonal cover codes on a known basic sequence.
- the channel component 318 estimates a channel between the UE 102 and a source UE based on the reference signal with the unknown sequence.

- Figures 4 and 5 illustrate example guard periods for a first symbol of an OFDM symbol. Specifically, Figures 4 and 5 illustrate guard period generation based on IFDMA signal structure, which may be performed by the guard period component 310. Figure 4 illustrates puncturing of a first half of the first symbol. Specifically, the first symbol uses an IFDMA signal structure with an RPF of 2. In this case, data or reference symbols can be mapped into every even subcarrier in the frequency domain, creating a comb-like spectrum. As illustrated, this design pattern results in two repeated blocks in the first OFDM symbol 402 in the time domain.
- an approximately 33 ⁇ 8 guard period in the first OFDM symbol can be generated. Note that this proposed guard period generation can be applied for both reference signals and data symbols.
- the discovery DM-RS sequence may reuse the existing Zadoff-Chu (ZC) sequence.

- An example of preamble generation for the first OFDM symbol is described as follows.
- the D2D discovery reference signal sequence in the first OFDM symbol r D2D (n) may be used as defined by 3 GPP TS 36.211, Section 5.5.1, where u is the sequence-group number defined in 3GPP TS 36.211, Section 5.5.1.3, and v is the base sequence number defined in 3GPP TS 36.21, Section 5.5.1.4.
- the cyclic shift a D2D of the discovery reference signal in the first OFDM symbol is given as:
- N ⁇ 2D is the number of cyclic shifts for D2D discovery and may have the value 6, 8, or 12.
- n" 2D ⁇ 0, 1, 2, L , N ⁇ 2D — 1 ⁇ is the cyclic shift index.

- RRC radio resource control
- a new base sequence may be used.
- the new base sequence will have constant modulus in the frequency domain, low peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), low
- an IFDMA signal structure with an RPF of 3 is illustrated.
- either data or reference symbols can be mapped onto every third subcarrier. As illustrated, this would create three repeated blocks in the first OFDM symbol 502 in the time domain.
- an approximately 22 ⁇ 8 guard period can be generated.
- Nf x N t the time-frequency resources, where Nf is the number of resource blocks in the frequency domain and N t is the number of slots or subframes in the time domain. For instance, for a 2 x 1 frequency domain resource allocation scheme, each discovery packet transmission occupies 24 subcarriers within one subframe.
- each discovery packet transmission spans two subframes and occupies 12 subcarriers in each subframe. Note that when the discovery packet transmission spans more than one subframe, guard periods in the first OFDM symbol of the second and subsequent subframes may not be needed, which would provide a lower coding rate and thereby better link level discovery performance.

- the data symbol is constructed according to OFDMA technique, and the first OFDM symbol is punctured, in one embodiment, to ensure a proper guard period.

- Figure 14 illustrates the discovery performance with DM-RS blind detection in the case without co-channel interference for a D2D discovery structure according to the second example option discussed above. From the plots, it can be seen that the performance degradation is negligible with DM-RS blind detection. This is primarily due to the fact that DM-RS miss detection probability is well below 10 ⁇ 3 block error rate (BLER) in the operating signal-to- interference ratio (SINR) range for discovery, such as approximately 4 dB.

Detailed Description of Preferred Embodiments
Wireless mobile communication technology uses various standards and protocols to transmit data between a base station and a wireless communication device. Wireless communication system standards and protocols can include, for example, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) long term evolution (LTE); the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.16 standard, which is commonly known to industry groups as worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX); and the IEEE 802.11 standard, which is
commonly known to industry groups as Wi-Fi. In a 3 GPP radio access network (RAN) according to LTE, the base station is termed Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) Node B (also commonly denoted as evolved Node B, eNodeB, or eNB). It may communicate with a wireless communication device, known as user equipment (UE). Although the present disclosure is presented with terminology and examples generally directed towards 3 GPP systems and standards, the teaching disclosed herein may be applied to any type of wireless network or communication standard.
Figure 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a communication system 100 that includes a plurality of UEs 102 in communication with network infrastructure 104. The network infrastructure 104 includes an evolved packet core (EPC) 106 and an E-UTRAN 108. The EPC 106 includes mobility management entities (MME) and serving gateways (S-GW) 112 that communicate with eNodeBs 1 10 in the E-UTRAN 108 over an SI interface. The SI interface as defined by 3GPP supports a many-to-many relation between EPC 106 and eNodeBs 1 10. For example, different operators may simultaneously operate the same eNodeB 1 10 (this is also known as "network sharing"). The E-UTRAN 108 is a packet switched 3 GPP RAN for LTE (i.e., 3.9G) and LTE-Advanced (i.e., 4G) that was first introduced in 3GPP Release 8 and continues to evolve. In the E-UTRAN 108 the eNodeBs 110 are more intelligent than legacy Node Bs of a universal terrestrial radio access network (UTRAN) used in universal mobile telecommunication systems (UMTS or 3G). For example, almost all the radio network controller (RNC) functionality has been moved to the eNodeB rather than being in a separate RNC. In LTE, eNodeBs 1 10 are connected with each other by means of an X2 interface that allows the eNodeBs 1 10 to forward or share information.
The UEs 102 may include a radio that is configured to transmit and receive signals in a licensed wireless spectrum corresponding to the eNodeBs 1 10. The UEs 102 are in
communication with an eNodeB 110 using a Uu air interface on a licensed cellular spectrum.
The UEs 102 and eNodeBs 1 10 may communicate control data and/or user data with each other. A downlink (DL) transmission in an LTE network can be defined as a communication from the eNodeB 1 10 to the UE 102, and an uplink (UL) transmission can be defined as a communication from the UE 102 to the eNodeB 1 10.
In addition to DL and UL transmissions over the Uu interface, the UEs 102 are also shown communicating directly with each other over a Ud air interface. Direct communication between devices is commonly known as proximity services (ProSe), device-to-device (D2D)
communication, or peer-to-peer (P2P) communication. In D2D, a UE 102 is able to
communicate directly with another UE 102 without routing communications via an eNodeB 110 or the core network (e.g., EPC 106), as illustrated by the Ud D2D interface in Figure 1. D2D is
a powerful technique for increasing network throughput by enabling direct communications between mobile stations rather than using network infrastructure 104, and has a wide variety of applications. For example, D2D has been proposed for local social networks, content sharing, location-based marketing, service advertisements, public safety networks, mobile-to-mobile applications, etc. D2D communications are of interest due to their ability to reduce load on a core network (such as the EPC 106) or a radio access network (such as the E-UTRAN 108), increase data rates due to direct and short communication paths, provide public safety communication paths, and provide other functionality. In some embodiments, the UEs may be connected to different eNodeBs or to completely different networks operated by different mobile network operators (MNOs).
There are various alternatives to realize such a direct communication path between mobile devices. In one embodiment, the D2D air interface Ud could be realized by some type of short- range technology, such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, or by reusing licensed LTE spectrum, such as a UL spectrum. Furthermore, D2D communications can be generally divided into two parts. The first part is device discovery, whereby UEs 102 are able to determine that they are within range and/or available for D2D communication. Proximity detection may be assisted by network infrastructure 104, may be performed at least partially by the UEs 102, or may be performed largely independent of the network infrastructure 104. The second part is direct communication, or D2D communication, between UEs 102, which includes a process to establish a D2D session between UEs 102 as well as the actual communication of user or application data. D2D communication may or may not be under continuous control of an MNO. For example, the UEs 102 may not need to have an active connection with an eNodeB 110 in order to take part in D2D communications.
For D2D discovery, there are generally two different approaches: restricted D2D discovery (also known as closed D2D discovery) and open D2D discovery (also known as promiscuous D2D discovery). Restricted D2D discovery applies to use cases wherein a discoverable device may be discovered only by a select set of ProSe enabled discovering devices. For example, only pre-identified or selected devices may be allowed to connect, such as devices identified or selected by the network, a P2P server, an application, or a user. Thus, for this use case, a discovering device would be assumed to know, in advance, the ProSe enabled device it wishes to discover in its proximity, including any corresponding identifiers.
On the other hand, open device discovery considers use cases wherein a discoverable device may want itself to be discovered by any or all ProSe enabled devices in its proximity. From the perspective of the discovering device, open device discovery implies that a discovering device may not be assumed to be aware of the identity of other ProSe enabled devices prior to
discovery. Consequently, the device discovery mechanism for open discovery may aim towards discovering as many ProSe enabled devices in its proximity as possible.
In certain situations, such as for open D2D discovery using licensed resources, an eNodeB has limited control of the discovery process among UEs. In particular, an eNodeB may periodically allocate certain discovery resources in the form of D2D discovery regions (e.g., time/frequency resources such as resource blocks or subframes) for UEs 102 to transmit the discovery information. The discovery information may be in the form of a discovery sequence or discovery packet with payload information.
In this application, applicants disclose systems, methods, and devices for D2D discovery and communication. In one embodiment, a UE includes a reference signal component, a guard period component, and a transmission component. The reference signal component is configured to randomly select a sequence for a reference signal for transmission in a device-to- device discovery packet. The guard period component is configured to determine a first symbol signal for transmission during a first symbol of the device-to-device discovery packet. The first symbol may include a partially punctured symbol. The transmission component is configured to transmit the device-to-device discovery packet that includes the partially punctured symbol and a reference signal based on the randomly selected sequence.
The present disclosure also discusses locations of reference signals within the discovery packet, such as an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) discovery packet. As used herein, the term "discovery packet" is given to mean a packet of information comprising a preamble or header and payload data. The term discovery packet is to be broadly construed as referring not only to a logical data structure but also to a logical resource structure. For example, the term discovery packet, as used herein, encompasses not only payload data but also physical layer signaling (such as reference signals) and control data.
As background, a discussion of resource structure may be helpful. Figure 2 illustrates one embodiment of a basic structure for a time-frequency resource as defined in LTE. The resource includes a plurality of radio frames with a length of about 10 milliseconds (ms). Each radio frame includes a grid of subframes, each with a length of about 1 ms. Each subframe includes a plurality of subcarriers and symbols which form resource elements. In one embodiment, a subframe includes two slots, or resource blocks, which each span a plurality of symbols (seven time periods) and subcarriers (e.g., twelve frequency bands). In a normal cyclic prefix case, each resource block includes seven symbols, as depicted.
The above embodiments are given by way of example only. Further details and example embodiments will be discussed below.
Figure 3 is a schematic block diagram illustrating one embodiment of a UE 102 configured for D2D discovery. The UE 102 includes a communication mode component 302, a receiver component 304, a scheduling component 306, a reference signal component 308, a guard period component 310, a transmission component 312, a discovery information component 314, a blind sequence detection component 316, and a channel component 318. The components 302-318 are shown by way of example and may not all be included in all embodiments. In some
embodiments, only one or any combination of two or more of the components 302-318 may be included.
The communication mode component 302 controls a communication mode of one or more radios of the UE 102. In one embodiment, the UE 102 may include one or more two-way radios and/or antennas for receiving and uploading data to the network infrastructure 104. In one embodiment, the same radio or antenna may be used for both signal transmission and reception, but generally not at the same time. The communication mode component 302 is configured to switch the respective radios from a reception mode to a transmission mode and from a transmission mode to a reception mode, as needed. The process of ramping up or ramping down power in a radio or on an antenna to place it in a desired mode takes some time and thus there is often a need for a guard period or puncturing of a resource structure to allow for the switch. According to agreement by the LTE radio layer 1 (RANI) working group, Ts x 624 is assumed for both transmission mode to reception mode switching and reception mode to transmission mode switching. This amount of time is meant to allow for communication mode switching times as well as propagation delays for receiving transmitted signals. Ts is the basic time unit with Τ 3 ς = (15000X2048) seconds so that Τ 3 ς x 624 « 20 microseconds ( vur~s) /. Thus,> in some situations, a guard period may be included to allow for the switch in communication modes and propagation delays. Further discussion of guard periods will take place in relation to the guard period component 310.
The receiver component 304 is configured to receive information or signals received by an antenna or radio of the UE 102. For example, the receiver component 304 may receive DL signals from an eNodeB 1 10 or may receive signals transmitted by a peer UE when a corresponding radio is in a reception mode. In one embodiment, the receive component 304 may provide received information to other components 302, 306-318 as appropriate.
The scheduling component 306 is configured to receive a message scheduling usage of one or more wireless resources. In one embodiment, the scheduling component 306 may receive a control message from an eNodeB 110 indicating that a specific portion of licensed wireless resources is to be used for a specific purpose. For example, the scheduling component 306 may
receive a message from 3GPP LTE network infrastructure 104 allocating wireless resources licensed by an MNO for device-to-device discovery. The scheduling component 306 may determine whether the UE 102 needs to participate in device-to-device discovery. If the scheduling component 306 determines a need to establish a D2D session, the scheduling component 306 may schedule the allocated resources for transmitting discovery information or listening for discovery information transmitted by a peer UE.
The reference signal component 308 may determine or generate a reference signal for transmission. Reference signals are often included in wireless transmission to allow receiving devices to estimate the channel, synchronize in time, synchronize in frequency, or the like. Example reference signals in LTE include sounding reference signals (SRS) and demodulation reference signals (DM-RS). In some cases, reference signals include signals based on a basic sequence and modified by a cyclic shift or orthogonal cover code to reduce interference and allow a receiving device to distinguish the transmission from transmissions of other devices. Generally, a sequence and modifications (e.g., cyclic shift or orthogonal cover code) are preconfigured or predefined (e.g., by a communication standard or by previous physical layer or higher layer signaling) such that a UE 102 knows what reference signal sequence to use, and devices or systems interested in receiving transmissions know what to expect.
However, in some situations, such as for open discovery, devices may not be listening for a specific UE or reference signal sequence. Because the transmitting UE and the receiving UE may not even be aware of each other, they may not be able to determine what sequence will be used for a reference signal. In one embodiment, if no specific sequence is indicated, the reference signal component 308 randomly selects a sequence for transmitting a D2D discovery transmission. For example, the reference signal component 308 may randomly select a cyclic shift or an index for an orthogonal cover code and allow a receiving UE to blindly determine what cyclic shift or orthogonal cover code was used. In one embodiment, a basic sequence may be configured by network infrastructure 104 or by a protocol, and the reference signal component 308 may randomly select a modification to the basic sequence to transmit. In one embodiment, the reference signal component 308 may randomly select a sequence for a reference signal for transmission during a resource allocated by an eNodeB 1 10 for device-to- device discovery. Further details of reference signals, sequence selection, and reference signal generation will be discussed in relation to the blind sequence detection component 316 and later figures.
The guard period component 310 is configured to determine a guard period for a D2D discovery period. For example, the guard period component 310 may determine a guard period for a first symbol of an OFDM resource allocated for discovery. In one embodiment, resources
allocated for D2D discovery may be located following another resource block or frame where a UE needs to switch a communication mode. For example, the UE 102 may be receiving a DL communication from an eNodeB 110 in the previous subframe or frame and may need to ramp up power on the same radio to transmit a discovery packet during the resource allocated for D2D discovery. Similarly, the UE 102 may be transmitting a UL communication in the previous subframe or frame and may need to ramp down power on the same radio to listen for a discovery packet during the resource allocated for D2D discovery.
In one embodiment, the guard period component 310 is configured to determine a first symbol signal for transmission during a first symbol of the device-to-device discovery packet. The guard period component 310 may receive an indication of a reference signal and/or data to be transmitted during the first symbol and generate the first signal or determine a structure of the first signal within the first symbol. In one embodiment, the guard period component 310 determines a signal for a partially punctured first symbol. The term punctured is given to mean that the basic resource structure is modified to prohibit or limit a requirement to transmit or receive data during the punctured portion of the resource. For example, even if a signal is transmitted during a punctured portion, a receiving device may be able to receive the same data during a non-punctured portion of the resource structure. On the other hand, transmission or reception during the punctured portion may be prohibited.
In one embodiment, the guard period component 310 determines the signal for the first symbol by determining or generating a repeating signal for the first symbol. For example, the signal for the first symbol may include a repeating reference signal or a repeating data signal. The reference signal or data may be repeated twice within the first symbol to allow transmitting or receiving devices to transmit or receive the second transmission. For example, if a UE 102 was transmitting in a resource block immediately preceding a resource allocated for discovery, the UE 102 may finish transmission, and the communication mode component 302 may switch the corresponding radio to a reception mode. However, due to the delay in switching, the UE 102 may not be able to receive a first portion of a signal transmitted in the first symbol. By the time the second iteration or repetition of the signal begins, the UE 102 is ready to receive the signal, and no data or information is lost because the missed portion is repeated. In one embodiment, the signal may be repeated two, three, or more times in the first symbol to allow for devices to switch, if needed. In one embodiment, the guard period component 310 may drop a last repetition of a signal and move the signal backwards by the length of the dropped repetition to provide for a punctured first symbol (e.g., see Figures 4 and 5). For example, a cyclic prefix (CP) and first repetition block may be moved backwards in time, and a last repetition may be dropped from the first symbol.
In one embodiment, the guard period component 310 generates a guard period by determining a signal for the first symbol that does not include power or information in a first portion of the first symbol but has power or information during a second portion of the first symbol. For example, the first portion may correspond to an amount of time that allows for communication mode switching, such as Ts x 624 as discussed above. In one embodiment, the first portion has a length of about 20 ms or more. In one embodiment, the first portion has a length corresponding to about one-third of a time length of the first symbol. For example, the
1 772 S
first symbol may have a length of about 1 ms divided by 14 (for 14 symbols), or 14 symb0ls ¾
71 μ5. Thus, the first portion may have a length of — — ¾ 20 μ5. In one embodiment, the first portion has a length corresponding to about one-half of a time length of the first symbol. Thus, the first portion may have a length of — — ¾ 35.5 μ5. In one embodiment, the guard period component 310 generates a guard period based on interleaved frequency division multiple access (IFDMA).
In one embodiment, the guard period component 310 may also create a guard period in a last symbol of discovery to allow for timing changes or communication mode switches at an end of D2D discovery.
The transmission component 312 is configured to transmit signals using a radio or antenna of the UE 102. In one embodiment, the transmission component 312 transmits a discovery packet based on information received or provided by other components of the UE 102. For example, the transmission component 312 may transmit a discovery packet during a resource scheduled by the scheduling component 306. In one embodiment, the transmission component 312 transmits reference signals determined by the reference signal component 308 within a discovery packet. In one embodiment, the transmission component 312 receives data or signal information, and maps the data or signals to appropriate blocks in a resource structure based on a physical layer protocol. For example, the transmission component 312 may transmit a discovery packet with reference signals, data, and/or unused symbols as required by the LTE physical layer or as otherwise specified herein.
In one embodiment, the transmission component 312 is configured to transmit a D2D discovery packet with a guard period at the beginning of the transmission. For example, the transmission component 312 may transmit a D2D discovery packet in an OFDM structure, such as in an OFDM resource block or subframe, with a partially punctured first symbol. In one embodiment, the transmission component 312 transmits the first symbol of the discovery packet without power on one or more of the subcarriers during the first symbol. For example, a fraction of the plurality of subcarriers may be unused during the whole first symbol. In one embodiment,
the fraction of unused subcarriers may be calculated by , where RPF is the repetition factor
RPF
that determines how many times a reference signal or data signal is repeated in the first symbol.
In one embodiment, the transmission component 312 transmits a reference signal with a discovery packet. For example, the transmission component 312 may transmit the reference signal within an OFDM resource block comprising at least a portion of discovery information for the UE 102. In one embodiment, the transmission component 312 transmits the reference signal during the first symbol of the allocated discovery resource. For example, the transmission component 312 may transmit a reference signal based on a randomly selected sequence selected by the reference signal component 308 during the first symbol. In one embodiment, the transmission component 312 transmits the reference signals during a first symbol of each resource block of the resources allocated for D2D discovery, such as the first and eighth symbols of a subframe. In one embodiment, the transmission component 312 transmits the reference signals during a fourth symbol of each resource block of the resources allocated for D2D discovery, such as the fourth and eleventh symbols of a subframe. In one embodiment, the transmission component 312 transmits a reference signal and discovery data as part of an open discovery packet.
The discovery information component 314 is configured to obtain D2D discovery information. For example, the discovery information component 314 may receive a discovery packet for open D2D discovery transmitted by a peer UE during a resource allocated for D2D discovery. In one embodiment, the discovery information includes an identifier for the peer UE that transmitted the discovery information. The identifier may be used by the UE 102 to transmit a request to establish a D2D session with the corresponding UE. In one embodiment, the discovery information includes a reference signal that was generated using a reference signal sequence that is unknown to the receiving UE 102. For example, the transmitting UE may have transmitted the reference signal based on a randomly selected sequence, as discussed above in relation to the reference signal component 308.
The blind sequence detection component 316 is configured to determine an unknown sequence for a received reference signal. For example, the blind sequence detection component 316 may determine a cyclic shift or orthogonal cover code used to generate a reference signal received in a discovery packet. In one embodiment, the blind sequence detection component 316 determines the unknown sequence by comparing the received reference signal with reference signals generating known cyclic shifts or orthogonal cover codes. For example, a basic sequence for the discovery packet may be known, but the specific cyclic shift or orthogonal cover code may be unknown. In one embodiment, if UL DM-RSs are received as the reference signal for
D2D discovery, a DM-RS blind detection algorithm which targets to find a candidate sequence with maximum correlation energy to the actual received reference signal can be employed to determine the cyclic shift of the DM-RS sequence of the transmit UEs. In one embodiment, the blind sequence detection component 316 may determine the unknown sequence by attempting to interpret the reference signal using one or more potential cyclic shifts or orthogonal cover codes for a known basic sequence. For example, the blind sequence detection component 316 may attempt to interpret using a first potential cyclic shift and, if unsuccessful, try a second potential cyclic shift, and so on until the correct cyclic shift is attempted. Similar attempts may be performed with potential orthogonal cover codes on a known basic sequence.
The channel component 318 estimates a channel between the UE 102 and a source UE based on the reference signal with the unknown sequence. In one embodiment, the discovery information component 314 receives a DM-RS having an unknown randomly selected DM-RS sequence. From the perspective of a receiving UE, the blind sequence detection component 316 performs blind detection of the DM-RS sequence, and the channel component 318 performs estimation and synchronization to ensure an appropriate channel estimation, timing, and frequency offset compensation for the source UE.
Figures 4 and 5 illustrate example guard periods for a first symbol of an OFDM symbol. Specifically, Figures 4 and 5 illustrate guard period generation based on IFDMA signal structure, which may be performed by the guard period component 310. Figure 4 illustrates puncturing of a first half of the first symbol. Specifically, the first symbol uses an IFDMA signal structure with an RPF of 2. In this case, data or reference symbols can be mapped into every even subcarrier in the frequency domain, creating a comb-like spectrum. As illustrated, this design pattern results in two repeated blocks in the first OFDM symbol 402 in the time domain. By puncturing the second repetition block and subsequently shifting the cyclic prefix (CP) and first repetition block, as shown in the punctured first symbol 404, an approximately 33 μ8 guard period in the first OFDM symbol can be generated. Note that this proposed guard period generation can be applied for both reference signals and data symbols.
In the case where a DM-RS is transmitted during the first symbol, the discovery DM-RS sequence may reuse the existing Zadoff-Chu (ZC) sequence. In one embodiment, a different sequence can also be considered for the discovery DM-RS sequence design. An example of preamble generation for the first OFDM symbol is described as follows. The reference signal sequence or modulated symbols in the first symbol may be multiplied with an amplitude scaling factor βΌ2Ό in order to conform to a transmit power PD2D and may be mapped in sequence starting with rD2D (0) to resource elements (k, 0) according to:
_ rfo2Di-D2D(fe'), k' = 0XK,M%lD/2-l ,
a2fe'+ fe0,0 - to, otherwise β(Τ
where k0 is the frequency-domain starting position of the discovery resource block, M 2D is the length of the reference signal sequence, and M 2D = mN^2D. In Figure 4, N§2D = 12 and m is within the range 1 < m < N^2j^L. The D2D discovery reference signal sequence in the first OFDM symbol rD2D(n) =
may be used as defined by 3 GPP TS 36.211, Section 5.5.1, where u is the sequence-group number defined in 3GPP TS 36.211, Section 5.5.1.3, and v is the base sequence number defined in 3GPP TS 36.21, Section 5.5.1.4. The cyclic shift aD2D of the discovery reference signal in the first OFDM symbol is given as:
ncs
¾2θ = 2π -7¾£ (Eq. 2)
ND2D
where N§2D is the number of cyclic shifts for D2D discovery and may have the value 6, 8, or 12. n"2D = {0, 1, 2, L , N^2D— 1} is the cyclic shift index. For open D2D discovery, ProSe enabled UEs may randomly select the cyclic shift index when transmitting the discovery packet, as discussed above. For restricted ProSe discovery, n"2D may be configured by higher-layer signaling, such as by an application layer or radio resource control (RRC) layer.
Note that when discovery packet transmission occupies one resource block (i.e., M§2D =
12), a new base sequence may be used. In general, the new base sequence will have constant modulus in the frequency domain, low peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), low
memory/complexity requirements, and good cross-correlation properties. An example of a base sequence with six phase values which may be used is given below.
For Msc = NicB/2, a base sequence is given by:
ru,v n = ^'φ(π)π/4 (Eq. 3) where 0 < n < c s— 1 and φ(η) can be given as:
0(0) 0(5) = {-1, -1,3, -3,3, -3). (Eq. 4)
In Figure 5, an IFDMA signal structure with an RPF of 3 is illustrated. In the frequency domain, either data or reference symbols can be mapped onto every third subcarrier. As illustrated, this would create three repeated blocks in the first OFDM symbol 502 in the time domain. By puncturing the repetition block #3 and shifting the CP and first two repetition blocks, as shown in the punctured first symbol 504, an approximately 22 μ8 guard period can be generated.
An example of preamble generation for the first OFDM symbol based on RPF 3 is described as follows. The reference signal sequence or modulated symbols may be multiplied with the amplitude scaling factor βΒ2Β in order to conform to a transmit power PD2D and may be mapped in sequence starting with rD2D (0) to resource elements (k, 0) according to:
a3fe'+ fe0,0
■>) where k0 is the frequency-domain starting position of the discovery resource block,
is the length of the reference signal sequence, and
= 12 and m is within the range 1 < m < Ν^β 1·
It is worth mentioning that the structures of both Figure 4 and Figure 5 can be easily extended to support public safety-specific use cases in partial and outside-network coverage scenarios. For instance, the last OFDM symbol may be punctured in the same way as the first OFDM symbol in order to accommodate an even larger synchronization error.
Turning now to Figures 6- 13, physical layer structures for D2D discovery signals are proposed. For D2D discovery, a certain number of primary resource block (PRB) pairs (i.e., subframes) mapped in a certain way (frequency first, time first, or following a mixed mapping) to time-frequency resources can be used to carry the discovery packet. Let us denote Nf x Nt as the time-frequency resources, where Nf is the number of resource blocks in the frequency domain and Nt is the number of slots or subframes in the time domain. For instance, for a 2 x 1 frequency domain resource allocation scheme, each discovery packet transmission occupies 24 subcarriers within one subframe. For a 1 x 2 time-domain resource allocation scheme, each discovery packet transmission spans two subframes and occupies 12 subcarriers in each subframe. Note that when the discovery packet transmission spans more than one subframe, guard periods in the first OFDM symbol of the second and subsequent subframes may not be needed, which would provide a lower coding rate and thereby better link level discovery performance. Figures 6- 13 cover four generally different physical layer structures for D2D discovery signal designs.
Figures 6 and 7 illustrate a first example option for D2D discovery signal design. In the first example option, a DM-RS is located in the first OFDM symbol for each slot (i.e., resource block), which can be constructed based on the UL DM-RS for physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission. More specifically, for restricted ProSe discovery, the discovery DM-RS can be generated according to 3GPP TS 36.21 1 , Section 5.5.2.1. For open ProSe discovery, the discovery DM-RS can be generated as follows.
The discovery demodulation reference signal sequence r^D ( ) associated with layer A G {0, \, ... , 17 - 1} is defined by:
r D ( mM c s + n = r > (n) (Eq. 6)
where m = 0 and n = 0, ... , M*C S - 1. 3GPP TS 36.21 1 , Section 5.5.1 , defines the sequence
{M c — 1)· The cyclic shift αλ in a slot ns is given as <¾ =
2 ncs /\2. ncs ^ can be randomly chosen from a set or a subset of {0, \, 2, ... , 11).
As mentioned in the proposed guard period generation procedure, the length of a DM-RS sequence would be reduced by half (in the case of RPF = 2) or 2/3 (in the case of RPF = 3) for the first OFDM symbol. Furthermore, data symbols may be generated by utilizing either single carrier FDMA (SC-FDMA) or OFDMA transmission schemes.
Figures 6 and 7 illustrate discovery signal structures 600 and 700, according to the first example option above, with Nf x 1 and 1 x Nf time-frequency resource mapping, respectively. A guard period in the first OFDM symbols 602 and 702 is shown based on the guard period generation with half of the subcarriers allocated for the reference signal, as discussed above with an RPF of 2. The first OFDM symbols 604 and 704 of the second slot (slot 1) also include a reference signal, but are not punctured. Note that in the examples of Figures 6- 13, a guard period generation procedure with half of the subcarriers allocated for reference or data symbols is assumed unless otherwise stated. In addition, although the examples shown are based on the normal CP, D2D discovery signal designs can be easily generated for the extended CP case.
Turning to Figures 8 and 9, a second example option for D2D discovery signal design is discussed. In the second example option, the discovery DM-RS occupies the centered OFDM symbol for each slot as well as the first OFDM symbol of the first slot (slot 0). The discovery DM-RS allocated for the centered OFDM symbol can be generated according to 3 GPP TS
36.21 1 , Section 5.5.2.1. For open ProSe discovery, the discovery DM-RS can be generated as follows.
(λ)
The discovery demodulation reference signal sequence r^2D ( ) associated with layer λ G (0, 1, ... , 1 — 1} is defined by:
rD¾ ( mM c s + n) = (n) (Eq. 7) where m = 0, 1 and n = 0, ... , M c ~ 1. 3 GPP TS 36.21 1, Section 5.5.1, defines the sequence
{M c — 1)· The cyclic shift αλ in a slot ns is given as <¾ =
2 ncs x/\2. η03 λ can be randomly chosen from a set or a subset of {0, 1, 2, ... , 11).
As mentioned in the proposed guard period generation procedure, the length of a DM-RS sequence would be reduced by half (in the case of RPF = 2) or two-thirds (in the case of RPF = 3) for the first OFDM symbol. Furthermore, data symbols may be generated by utilizing either SC-FDMA or OFDMA transmission schemes.
Figures 8 and 9 illustrate discovery signal structures 800 and 900, according to the second example option above, with Nf x 1 and 1 x Nf time-frequency resource mapping, respectively. A guard period in the first OFDM symbols 802 and 902 is shown based on the guard period generation with half of the subcarriers allocated for the reference signal, as discussed above with an RPF of 2. The centered symbols 804, 904 and 806, 906 are shown with reference signals, but are not punctured.
Turning to Figures 10 and 1 1, discovery signal structures 1000 and 1 100 represent a third example option for D2D discovery signal design. In the third example option, the discovery DM-RS occupies the centered OFDM symbols 1004, 1 104 and 1006, 1 106 for each slot. The discovery DM-RS generation for the centered OFDM symbol is the same as discussed with reference to Figures 8 and 9. In addition, for the first OFDM symbols 1002 and 1 102, data signals are mapped into every even subcarrier to generate guard periods within the first symbol. Furthermore, the first data symbol is generated based on an OFDMA transmission scheme. Figures 10 and 1 1 illustrate the third example option discovery signal design with Nf x 1 and 1 x Nf time-frequency resource mapping, respectively.
Turning to Figures 12 and 13, a fourth example option for D2D discovery signal design is discussed. For the fourth example option, the position of the discovery DM-RS follows a similar principle to DM-RS in DL subframes for transmission modes (TM) 8 and 9 physical DL shared channel (PDSCH) transmission. More specifically, for restricted D2D discovery, the discovery DM-RS can be generated according to 3 GPP TS 36.21 1, Section 6.10.3. For open D2D discovery, the discovery DM-RS can be generated as follows. Note that in this case, ProSe enabled UE can randomly choose one antenna port for discovery signal transmission.
For any of the antenna ports p G (7, 8, ... , 10), the reference-signal sequence r(m) is defined by
where m = pnirH
(^0, 1, ... , 12NRB — 1 extended cyclic prefix
The pseudo-random sequence c(i) is defined in 3GPP TS 36.21 1, Section 7.2. The pseudo-random sequence generator will be initialized at the start of each subframe with:
Cinit = Q¾ + l) 216 Eq. (9)
Figures 12 and 13 illustrate the fourth example option for discovery signal design for the first subframe. Figure 12 illustrates discovery signal structures 1200a, 1200b, and 1200c for antenna ports 7 and 8. Figure 13 illustrates discovery signal structures 1300a, 1300b, and 1300c
for antenna ports 9 and 10. Note that for second and subsequent subframes in 1 x Nf time- frequency resource mapping, a guard period in the first OFDM symbol of the second and subsequent subframes is not needed; hence the mapping rule can follow the same principle as defined in 3GPP TS 36.21 , Section 6.10.3. Similar to the third example option, the data symbol is constructed according to OFDMA technique, and the first OFDM symbol is punctured, in one embodiment, to ensure a proper guard period.
Figures 14 and 15 illustrate discovery performance for blind detection. For open discovery, a ProSe enabled device may randomly select the DM-RS sequences when transmitting the discovery packet. As discussed above, from the reception UE perspective, discovering UEs need to perform blind detection of a DM-RS sequence to ensure the appropriate channel estimation and timing and frequency offset compensation. In particular, if a UL DM-RS is selected as discovery DM-RS, a DM-RS blind detection algorithm (implemented by the blind sequence detection component 316) finds the candidate sequence with maximum correlation energy to determine the cyclic shift of the DM-RS sequence.
Figure 14 illustrates the discovery performance with DM-RS blind detection in the case without co-channel interference for a D2D discovery structure according to the second example option discussed above. From the plots, it can be seen that the performance degradation is negligible with DM-RS blind detection. This is primarily due to the fact that DM-RS miss detection probability is well below 10~3 block error rate (BLER) in the operating signal-to- interference ratio (SINR) range for discovery, such as approximately 4 dB.
Figure 15 illustrates the discovery performance with DM-RS blind detection under co- channel interference for a D2D discovery structure according to the second example option discussed above. In the simulations, a fixed 30 dB SNR is assumed, and a DM-RS cyclic shift of the interference UE is distinct from that of target UE. Based on the simulation results, it is interesting to note that DM-RS blind detection can significantly improve the overall discovery performance by exploiting the inherent selection diversity, under the assumption that
interference UE transmits the valid packet with distinct cyclic shift, and interference signal power is in a close range of target signal power.
Figure 16 is a schematic flow chart diagram illustrating a method 1600 for D2D discovery. In one embodiment, the method 1600 is performed by a mobile device, such as the UE 102 of Figure 3. In one embodiment, the UE 102 may perform the method 1600 prior to establishing a D2D session with one or more other UEs.
The method 1600 begins and a reference signal component 308 randomly selects 1602 a sequence for a reference signal. The reference signal component 308 may select 1602 the
sequence by selecting an index for a cyclic shift or an orthogonal cover code for a predetermined base sequence. The reference signal component 308 may select 1602 the signal using a random number generator. In one embodiment, the reference signal component 308 selects 1602 the sequence for a reference signal for transmission in an open device-to-device discovery packet. The reference signal component 308 selects 1602 the sequence for a DM-RS or SRS.
A guard period component 310 determines 1604 a guard period for the discovery transmission. For example, the guard period component 310 may determine 1604 a first symbol signal for transmission during a partially punctured first symbol of the device-to-device discovery packet. In one embodiment, the guard period component 310 determines 1604 the guard period by generating a punctured first symbol. The guard period component 310 may generate a first symbol similar to the first symbols illustrated in Figures 5 and 6.
A transmission component 312 transmits 1606 a D2D discovery packet. In one embodiment, the transmission component 312 may transmit 606 a D2D discovery packet that includes a guard period determined 1604 by the guard period component 310. In one embodiment, the transmission component 312 may transmit 1606 a D2D discovery packet that includes a reference signal generated based on the sequence selected 1602 by the reference signal component 308. In one embodiment, the transmission component 312 transmits 1606 a D2D discovery packet that includes a punctured first symbol. The punctured first symbol may include a reference signal or may include data.
Figure 17 is a schematic flow chart diagram illustrating another method 1700 for D2D discovery. In one embodiment, the method 1700 is performed by a mobile device, such as the UE 102 of Figure 3. In one embodiment, the UE 102 may perform the method 1700 prior to establishing a D2D session with one or more other UEs.
The method 1700 begins and a receiver component 304 receives 1702 a message from a base station allocating licensed wireless resources for D2D discovery. In one embodiment, the receiver component 304 receives 1702 the message from an eNodeB 110 allocating one or more resource blocks for D2D discovery. In one embodiment, the allocated wireless resources include licensed resources for a cellular network.
A reference signal component 308 determines 1704 a random sequence for a reference signal for the licensed wireless resources. A transmission component 312 transmits 1706 D2D discovery information during the allocated licensed resources and also transmits 1708 a reference signal based on the random sequence. For example, the transmission component 312 may transmit a reference signal and discovery information according to any of the embodiments of Figures 4-13. The method 1700 may also include establishing a D2D session with one or more proximal UEs.
Figure 18 is a schematic flow chart diagram illustrating another method 1800 for D2D discovery. In one embodiment, the method 1800 is performed by a mobile device, such as the UE 102 of Figure 3. In one embodiment, the UE 102 may perform the method 1800 prior to establishing a D2D session with one or more other UEs.
The method 1800 begins and a discovery information component 314 receives 1802 open
P2P discovery information. The discovery information includes a reference signal transmitted by a source device using an unknown reference signal sequence. For example, the source device may have generated the reference signal based on a random cyclic shift index or orthogonal cover code index.
The blind sequence detection component 316 determines 1804 the unknown reference signal sequence. For example, the blind sequence detection component 316 may determine 1804 the unknown sequence by identifying a candidate sequence with a maximum correlation energy to the actual received reference signal. The channel component 318 estimates 1806 the channel between the source device and the UE 102 based on the reference signal. In one embodiment, the method 1800 includes transmitting a request to establish a D2D session with the source device.
Figure 19 is a schematic flow chart diagram illustrating yet another method 1900 for D2D discovery. In one embodiment, the method 1900 is performed by a mobile device, such as the UE 102 of Figure 3. In one embodiment, the UE 102 may perform the method 1900 prior to establishing a D2D session with one or more other UEs.
The method 1900 begins and a receiver component 304 receives 1902, with a radio in a reception mode, a DL transmission from a radio access network. For example, the receiver component 304 may receive a DL transmission from an eNodeB 110.
A communication mode component 302 switches 1904 the radio of the UE 102 from the reception mode to a transmission mode. In one embodiment, the communication mode component 302 switches 1904 the communication mode in preparation for a resource allocated for D2D discovery. A transmission component 312 transmits 1906 a D2D discovery packet during an OFDM resource block. The resource block may include a guard period in a first symbol of the OFDM resource block. In one embodiment, the guard period provides enough time for the radio to ramp up power and transmit the discovery packet.
Figure 20 is an example illustration of a mobile device, such as a user equipment (UE), a mobile station (MS), a mobile wireless device, a mobile communication device, a tablet, a handset, or another type of wireless communication device.
