FACILITATING TERMINAL COMMUNICATIONS IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM

Network-assisted device discovery includes initiating the D2D network-assisted device discovery of a receiving UE to enable a target UE and the receiving UE to establish a D2D communication. A discovery feasibility measurement is performed to determine whether a D2D communication between the target UE and the receiving UE is feasible. A discovery setup message is transmitted and a discovery report is received from the target UE.
