Title:
METHOD FOR CONTROLLING DEVICE-TO-DEVICE DISCOVERY AND RELATED DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/072157
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention disclose a method for controlling device-to-device discovery. The method comprises: a network device acquiring N first relay function parameter sets of N user equipment devices that support a relay function; the network device acquiring a second relay function parameter set of remote user equipment; the network device determining for the remote user equipment at least one user equipment that supports the relay function in the N user equipment devices that support the relay function; and the network device sending a first notification message to the at least one user equipment that supports the relay function to trigger the at least one user equipment that supports the relay function to initiate a device-to-device discovery process. A device-to-device discovery process is initiated by determining at least one user equipment that supports a relay function, such that unnecessary power consumption is reduced when the discovery process is initiated by user equipment that supports a relay function but does not satisfy discovery function requirements of remote user equipment.
