Methods, systems, and devices are described that allow for partial matching of published services or service names, including compressed service names. The described features employ compression techniques, including hashing; and they allow for partial matching of compressed service name strings. Various embodiments are described that provide for identifying a desired service (or attributes of a desired service) and comparing one or more advertised attributes. The comparison of desired and advertised attributes may be utilized to determine, select, and or locate an advertised service.

Hash partial matching for discovery

A method and an apparatus for wireless communication are provided. In one aspect, the apparatus may be a user equipment (UE), base station, or access point. The apparatus broadcasts peer discovery information in a high-level expression data structure that supports multiple discovery technologies from a variety of wireless networks. By using the high-level expression data, the apparatus may use a single, unified discovery application programming interface for signaling the presence of any supplemental cross-technology discovery information as such information became available. In another aspect, the apparatus may be a UE. The apparatus receives the broadcasted high-level expression data in a peer discovery signal and processes the data.
