Abstract:
Embodiments are provided herein for determining a synchronizing master for device-to-device (D2D) communication in a cellular network environment. In an embodiment, a user equipment (UE) receives a discovery signal comprising a timing reference, and determines a transmitter of the discovery signal. In accordance with the determination of the transmitter of the discovery signal, the UE performs one of synchronizing to the timing reference in the discovery signal and transmitting a second discovery signal. The UE performs the synchronizing to the timing reference if the transmitter of the discovery is a cellular network. Alternatively, the UE transmits the second discovery signal upon determining that the transmitter of the discovery signal is a second UE that is out of coverage of a cellular network.

Claim (Index 1):
A method by a user equipment (UE) for selecting a synchronization master for device-to-device (D2D) communication, the method comprising:\n receiving a discovery signal comprising a timing reference; determining a transmitter of the discovery signal; and in accordance with the determination of the transmitter of the discovery signal, performing one of synchronizing to the timing reference in the discovery signal and transmitting a second discovery signal.
