Embodiment Construction

[0021] According to an exemplary embodiment, figure 1 An exemplary wireless communication network 100 is shown, eg, an ad hoc peer-to-peer wireless communication network. Exemplary wireless communication network 100 includes a plurality of communication devices, eg, peer-to-peer communication devices. The plurality of peer-to-peer communication devices includes: communication device A 102, communication device B 104, communication device C 106, and Ith, Kth, Nth peer-to-peer communication devices 108, 110, and 112. Such as figure 1 As shown in , communication devices 102, 104, 106, 108, 110, and 112 may include or be coupled to antennas for receiving and / or transmitting signals.

[0022] figure 1 The mechanisms supported by the wireless communication network 100 shown in , allow a communication device of the network 100 to discover and / or detect other communication devices associated with, for example, users, applications, services, networks, etc., of interest to the monito...

Abstract

Methods and apparatus for processing discovery signals (113) and / or generating alerts based on received discovery signals (502) are described. In at least some embodiments, alert signal generation (216) is performed on a selective basis in response to received discovery signals. In at least some embodiments a user is given at least some control over alert generation with the user being able to indicate types of signals which should not trigger generation of an alert, the minimum permitted frequency of particular alerts (712) or types of alerts (714) and / or time or location constraints which are considered when a device determines whether or not to generate an alert in response to a received discovery signal. While user control of discovery signal processing and alert generation are provided, automatic control or adjustment of discovery signal processing and alert generation may also be implemented or the automatic control may be implemented as an alternative to the user control.

Description

technical field [0001] Various embodiments relate to wireless communications and, in particular, to methods and apparatus for processing discovery signals and / or controlling the generation of alerts in response to received discovery signals. Background technique [0002] In a peer-to-peer system, devices may broadcast a signal called a discovery signal. Discovery signals allow devices in mutual proximity to determine the presence of other devices and / or information that may be useful to a receiving device in determining whether a connection should be established with the device that sent the received discovery signal. Sending discovery signals may be used to convey: user identifiers, device identifiers, group identifiers (eg, to indicate membership in a particular group), service offers, product advertisements, service requests, and the like. Devices may periodically send discovery signals to convey the same or different information. Transmission of discovery signals allow...
