Abstract
Techniques for performing network-assisted peer discovery with network coding are disclosed. For peer discovery with network coding, a device may generate a network-coded message based on a message assigned to the device and one or more messages received by the device from other devices. The device may transmit a proximity detection signal including the network-coded message. For network-assisted peer discovery with network coding, the device may register with a network for peer discovery and may be provided with at least one parameter to use for peer discovery with network coding. The devices may perform peer discovery with network coding in accordance with the peer discovery parameter(s) received from the network. The device may generate a network-coded message based on the at least one peer discovery parameter and may transmit the network-coded message to enable other devices to detect the device.
