Method and apparatus for proximity-based service

摘要

A method and apparatus are described for managing a communication connection by a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. In one embodiment, a first message is transmitted for requesting a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection. The first message includes a cause of the request related with a Proximity-based Service (ProSe), and an identifier randomly generated for the communication connection by the UE and set to be effective for a predetermined time. The communication connection is established via a network path. A second message is received from a ProSe server. The second message indicates whether the communication connection is out of proximity range or not. When the second message indicates that the communication connection is out of the proximity range, a third message for requesting one of a proximity range extension and a communication connection release is transmitted to the ProSe server.

1. A method of managing a communication connection by a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
transmitting a first message for requesting a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection, wherein the first message includes a cause of the request and an identifier, the cause of the request being related with a Proximity-based Service (ProSe), and the identifier being randomly generated for the communication connection by the UE and set to be effective for a predetermined time; establishing the communication connection via a network path; and receiving a second message from a ProSe server, wherein the second message indicates whether the communication connection is out of proximity range or not, and wherein, when the second message indicates that the communication connection is out of the proximity range, a third message for requesting one of a proximity range extension and a communication connection release is transmitted to the ProSe server.
