Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for efficiently communicating network connectivity information in a communications system are described. Two types of signals with different characteristics, e.g., long range synchronous beacons, e.g., LTE-D beacons, and short range asynchronous beacons, e.g., WiFi beacons, are used in combination to advertise network connectivity information and accelerate the acquisition of a routing path for a communications device to a device serving as a gateway for a infrastructure network. Reception of a first type signal triggers monitoring for a second type signal, and a received second type signal communicates information used to determine a communications path to a gateway device.

Claim (Index 11):
The method of  claim 10 , further comprising:\n determining a direction of motion relative to said advertising device based on at least one signal received from the advertising device; and wherein said decision whether to handoff is based on said determined direction of motion relative to said advertising device in addition to being based on said first second type broadcast signal.
