Abstract:
1. A wireless network for providing controlled wireless communications with multi-mode wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs) that have transceiver components configured for selective operation in an infrastructure communication mode for infrastructure communication in the wireless network and in a peer-to-peer communications mode for peer-to-peer communications with other WTRUs also configured for infrastructure communication in the wireless network, the wireless network comprising: at least one base station having a transceiver configured for selective operation in an infrastructure communication mode with multi-mode WTRUs; and a controller configured to selectively control transmission of control signals via infrastructure communications with a WTRU to control peer-to-peer mode communications of that WTRU with other WTRUs and configured to provide override control signals to override selected default WTRU control limits for peer-to-peer mode communications including quality of service thresholds, a maximum duration of a peer-to-peer communication or a restriction as to types of data traffic permitted in peer-to-peer communications.
