EPC- PROSE HTTP TECHNIQUES FOR OPTIMIZING HTTP IMPLEMENTATION AS A TRANSPORT PROTOCOL FOR EPC-LEVEL PROXIMITY SERVICES PROSE DISCOVERY

摘要

Exemplary methods and apparatus for managing polling in devices implementing proximity services are presented. For example, an exemplary polling management method in a ProSe system is presented, which includes receiving a polling message from a first UE at a network entity. Additionally, the exemplary method may also include receiving one or both of a first location report associated with the first UE and a second location report associated with the second UE at the network entity and after receiving the polling message . The exemplary method may also include determining whether to generate a polling response message upon receiving one or both of the first location report and the second location report, The next polling time for the first UE based on the location reporting schedule associated with one or both of the first UE and the second UE is included.
