Mobile devices exchange indications of their supported access stratum (AS) versions with each other during device-to-device communication, to determine a common AS version for subsequent communication. In an example method, a first wireless device receives a first incoming version indicator from a second wireless device, the first incoming version indicator identifying an AS version supported by the second wireless device, and transmits a device version indicator in one or more outgoing messages, in response to determining that the first incoming version indicator is unknown to the first wireless device or that the first incoming version indicator corresponds to an AS version that is not supported by the first wireless device. The transmitted device version indicator corresponds to the most recent AS version of two or more AS versions supported by the first wireless device. |
