Abstract:
1. A method operational in a third device having a peer-to-peer connection with a fourth device to facilitate interference management for a second peer-to-peer connection between a first device and a second device within a wireless network, comprising: determining a signaling format to be used for a traffic signal to be sent to the fourth device, the signaling format being one of at least Gaussian signaling format and flash signaling format; sending a transmission request signal to the fourth device in a transmission request resource; monitoring a transmission request response resource to receive a transmission request response from the second device, the transmission request response from the second device indicating that the second device is prepared to receive a traffic signal from the first device different from the third device; calculating an interference cost to the second device as a function of the determined signaling format; and determining whether to send the traffic signal to the fourth device based on the calculated interference cost, the traffic signal to be sent in a traffic slot corresponding to the transmission request signal.
