METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ALLOCATION OF DEVICE ID IN DEVICE TO DEVICE COMMUNICATIONS

摘要

A method of assigning a device ID of a device-to-device network to a mobile station includes: selecting a subset from a set of parameters from which the device ID is determined, each parameter in the set having a number of bits for complete representation, the subset comprising a number Nd2d of parameters used to determine the device ID; determining a number L of device ID bits to represent the device ID; dividing the L device ID bits into a group of l1 indicator bits and a group of l2 identifier bits, wherein l2 is the difference between the number L of device ID bits and the number l1 of bits allocated to the group of indicator bits; assigning bit values to the l1 indicator bits; allocating a number Ljp of the l2 identifier bits to each of the parameters in the subset; and assigning bit values the l2 identifier bits.
