Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure relate to control of discovery signal transmissions for D2D communication. A first UE may transmit a discovery signal initiation message to at least a second UE to control transmission of a discovery signal from the second UE to a third UE. The second UE may identify a discovery signal monitoring duration of the second UE during which the second UE monitors for transmitted discovery signals transmitted from other UEs to the third UE. At expiration of the discovery signal monitoring duration, the second UE may transmit a discovery signal to the third UE when the number of transmitted discovery signals transmitted from the other UEs during the discovery signal monitoring duration is less than a discovery signal transmission number threshold.
