Abstract  Abstract

Methods and apparatus supporting peer to peer communications are discussed. A base station serving as an access node for wireless terminals also communicates information supporting peer to peer communications. A base station transmits a beacon signal conveying information about a peer to peer frequency band and also receives user data from a plurality of wireless terminals using the base station as a current point of network attachment. In some embodiments the beacon signal is transmitted into the same frequency band being used for access node based communications and identifies a different frequency band which is to be used as a peer to peer frequency band. Alternatively or in addition in support of peer to peer communications a beacon signal transmission apparatus a free standing device which doesnt transmit user data transmits a sequence of beacon signal bursts each beacon signal burst including at least one high power beacon symbol.
