    Abstract: The invention relates to methods, apparatuses, systems and computer program products for discovery of nearby devices. To facilitate discovery of nearby, i.e. proximal, devices, a discovery control signal from a control device may be used to control the discovery, e.g. how or when the discovery is carried out. The devices may send proximity information based on the discovery they have carried out to be used by the control device or the control system. The control device, e.g. a server, may form the discovery control signal based on this proximity information. A proximity graph may be used in determining how the discovery is controlled. Controlling discovery by the devices may e.g. be done to avoid discovery collisions or to save energy.
