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 16):
A computer-readable medium having program code recorded thereon, the program code comprising:\n code for causing a first internet of everything (IoE) device to listen for transmissions of one or more other IoE devices during a broadcast time of one or more discovery slots of a discovery frame; code for causing the first IoE device to broadcast a discovery message in a first discovery slot of the discovery frame if no transmissions of the one or more other IoE devices are heard during the first discovery slot; and code for causing the first IoE device to associate with a second IoE device during an association time period, wherein the second IoE device selected the first IoE device as a relay device based on the discovery message broadcast by the first IoE device during the first discovery slot of the discovery frame.
