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 4):
The method of  claim 3 , wherein said infrastructure network connectivity information includes one or more of the following:\n information indicating a number of peer to peer hops between the advertising device and the gateway device; information on quality of said peer to peer hops between the advertising device and the gateway device; information indicating a mobility level of the advertising device; information identifying the infrastructure network; or information indicating a type of the gateway device.
