Patent ID: 8526347

Claim:
A method for wireless communication, comprising: generating a first signal based on a particular waveform at a first user equipment (UE), the particular waveform being a downlink waveform or an uplink waveform for a wireless communication network; transmitting the first signal from the first UE to a second UE for peer-to-peer (P2P) communication; and receiving a second signal transmitted by the second UE to the first UE for P2P communication, the second signal being generated by the second UE based on the particular waveform used for the first signal, wherein the particular waveform is the downlink waveform, and wherein the generating the first signal comprises determining information to send in at least one downlink signal or channel, and generating the first signal comprising the at least one downlink signal or channel carrying the information, and wherein the at least one downlink signal or channel comprises at least one synchronization signal, or at least one reference signal, or a downlink control channel, or a downlink shared channel, or a combination thereof.
