Abstract:
1. A method of wireless communication comprising: a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) receiving a system information block (SIB) broadcast by an eNodeB; the WTRU determining that proximity detection for localized applications are supported by the eNodeB based on the received SIB; the WTRU determining a location of the WTRU and sending the location to the eNodeB; the WTRU receiving in response to the sending of the determined location a proximity detection associated with a localized application; and in response to the proximity detection, the WTRU receiving discovery signals from a second WTRU for use in establishing device-to-device communications between the WTRU and the second WTRU; wherein the localized application is received from the second WTRU via device-to-device communications; wherein the device-to-device communications are WiFi communications offloaded from a cellular network.
