Abstract:
Wireless communication systems and methods related to the discovery and selection of relay devices by internet of everything (IoE) devices are disclosed. For example, IoE devices with low pathloss to a base station can broadcast information during discovery frames that allow other IoE devices to discover them and select them as a relay, if appropriate. The discovery broadcast message from an IoE device can include information to allow a listening IoE device to select a suitable IoE device for relaying its data that satisfies latency parameters while minimizing the energy impact of relaying. Signaling structures are also provided to allow different IoE devices to select slots for broadcasting within the discovery frame in a distributed manner without disrupting existing periodic broadcasts. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

Claim (Index 6):
A wireless communication device, comprising:\n a transceiver configured to:\n listen for transmissions of one or more other wireless communication devices during a broadcast time of one or more discovery slots of a discovery frame; \n broadcast a discovery message in a first discovery slot of the discovery frame if no transmissions of the one or more other wireless communication devices are received during the first discovery slot; and \n receive an association message from a second wireless communication device during an association time period, wherein the second wireless communication device selected the wireless communication device as a relay device based on the discovery message broadcast during the first discovery slot of the discovery frame.
