Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A wireless communications system transmits a first message including an anonymous discovery pilot identification code to a first terminal, receives a second message from a second terminal and determines whether the second message identifies the discovery pilot identification code. The system may transmit a third message identifying the first terminal to the second terminal responsive to the second message identifying the discovery pilot identification code. Transmission of the first message may be preceded by receiving a request message from the first terminal requesting permission to transmit a discovery pilot signal.
First claim
