Abstract
A method of performing functions by proxy for a set of associated proximate devices is disclosed. In some embodiments, the method may comprise associating a set of user equipments (UEs), wherein upon determination that a first UE in the set is unavailable for performing a requested function, at least one alternate second UE in the associated set of UEs is selected, wherein the at least one second UE is proximate to the first UE and the at least one second UE is available for performing the requested function. The performance of the requested function on the at least one second UE is initiated.
