LTE Direct is creating a Digital 6th Sense through always-on
proximal discovery services
1
Always-on device-to-device discovery of friends, services, offers in one’s proximity
Proximal discovery services efficiently integrated with existing LTE Advanced services and networks
to scale up from today’s location-based and proximity beacon solutions
2 Required
Privacy sensitive and battery efficient discovery of 1000s of devices/services in the proximity of ~500 meters
underway – defined in 3GPP R12
3 LTE Direct ecosystem implementation
1
Operator trials throughout 2014 ; app developers testing innovative use cases today with LTE Direct Trial SDK2
1 Deutsche Telekom trial in Germany announced and enabled by trial devices from Qualcomm Technologies; other trials in planning; 2 LTE Direct Trial SDK by Qualcomm Technologies limited availability through ltedirect.qualcomm.com

Proximal discovery services are expanding the reach of mobile
Utilizing technologies today that either track user’s location or proximity to nearby beacons
Location-based app
Proximity Beacons (BT-LE2)
Tracking user’s location and access
cloud to identify relevancy
Deliver relevant value by notifying
nearby users using an associated app
+ Unlimited range
+ Large install base
+ Privacy sensitive
+ Low power consumption
+ Indoor support
- Privacy barrier with location tracking
- Battery drain from constant network pings
- Proprietary platform
- Limited range – 10s of meters
- Limited capacity that doesn’t scale
- Proprietary platform

Battery efficient and privacy sensitive always-on awareness
LTE Direct provides enhanced user experience over location-based solutions
Privacy sensitive
Battery efficiency
Autonomous
Devices do not need to reveal their
identity or allow location tracking,
thus minimizing privacy barriers
Determining relevancy is done at the
device level eliminating battery
inefficient network pings
