Abstract:
A method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided for wireless communication at a UE, e.g., associated with a host vehicle. The apparatus transmits a message comprising at least one of a lane change request or a lane space reservation and monitors for a response to the message. An apparatus at a first UE associated with a remote vehicle receives a message comprising at least one of a lane change request or a lane space reservation from a second UE. The apparatus determines whether to accept the lane change request or the lane space reservation from the second UE and transmits a response to the message accepting or rejecting the lane change request or the lane space reservation.
Abstract:
Techniques for associating an electronic identifier of a user equipment (UE) with a user of the UE are described. In embodiments of an apparatus, system, method, and computer program of the present disclosure, a UE may transmit an electronic identifier associated with the UE via peer discovery, for receiving by a second UE. A perceivable cue associated with the electronic identifier may be indicated to a second user. The UE or the user of the UE may indicate the perceivable cue to the second user. Selection of the perceivable cue by the second user may cause the initiation of communications between the UE and the second UE.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product are provided in which information is exchanged through peer-to-peer communication with a second wireless device using a first radio technology. The information regards at least one additional radio technology. In addition, whether to utilize a second radio technology of the at least one additional radio technology for peer-to-peer communication with the second wireless device rather than the first radio technology is determined. Furthermore, the first radio technology is utilized to exchange control information for the second radio technology.
Abstract:
A method, a computer program product, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be equipped to obtain one or more application identifiers from one or more applications on a wireless device, generate a super identifier (SID) having elements corresponding to the one or more applications and a base that identifies one or more common properties of the one or more applications, and broadcast the SID during one or more peer discovery slots allocated for the wireless device. In another example, a UE may be equipped to receive the SID broadcast by another UE, determine a match between at least one of the one or more common properties in the base, and determine whether an element associated with one or more applications is present in the SID.

Abstract:
Methods for communicating discovery information are described. A module intercepts messages within a device which include a first identifier, e.g., a service, application, device or other identifier which is to be communicated or which is to be monitored for in the case of a device seeking something. A second identifier corresponding to the information to be communicated or item or service being sought is generated. The second identifier is transmitted in the case of an advertisement or monitored for in the case of the device seeking something. Following a second device establishing a communications connection in response to an advertisement, stored information such as all or a portion of the first identifier is transmitted over the established connection. A device seeking an item or service, in response to detecting the second identifier, establishes a connection with the second device. The second identifier maybe shorter than the first identifier.
Abstract:
A method to reduce replication of HIV-1, involving administering a therapeutically effective amount of recombinant HNP4 to a subject in need thereof to combat HIV-1 infection. The HNP4 agent may be utilized in pharmaceutical compositions including a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and an anti-viral agent, e.g., an anti-viral agent, or combination of such agents, such as nucleoside RT inhibitors, CCR5 inhibitors/antagonists, viral entry inhibitors, and functional analogs thereof.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for improved monitoring and tracking of communications devices, e.g., peer to peer devices, using assistance from WAN elements such as base stations, are described. In some embodiments, a wireless terminal requests peer to peer communications discovery assistance from one or more base stations. In some embodiments, the request includes information identifying peer communications discovery information the wireless terminal is seeking to detect. In some embodiments, upon receiving the request, nearby base stations listen to the common discovery channel and upon detecting the specified discovery information, send a response indicating the detection of the discovery information and a proximate location of the announcing peer device, to the wireless terminal. The wireless terminal can use the received information to locate and page the announcing peer via the base station serving the announcing peer. Location tracking of peer devices is facilitated and peer-to-peer communication setup time may be reduced.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are described for efficiently suppressing transmission of signals from devices which are using a first protocol, in order to allow the frequency spectrum being used by devices using the first protocol to be used briefly for communication between devices using an alternative communications protocol. In some embodiments, the first protocol is WiFi and the alternative signaling protocol is a non-WiFi peer to peer communications protocol. A wireless communications device, e.g., a peer to peer wireless communications device, generates a signal suppression utility metric (SSUM). The signal suppression utility metric provides an indication of how useful transmitting a transmission suppression signal, e.g., a S-CTS signal which may be a CTS to self signal, will be at a given point in time. The wireless communications device decides whether or not to transmit a transmission suppression signal as a function of the signal suppression utility metric.
