METHOD FOR HANDLING PROXIMITY-BASED SERVICE DISCOVERY AND COMMUNICATION IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM

摘要

A method for handling Proximity-based Service (ProSe) discovery, comprising: performing a ProSe communication preparation procedure, in response to a received ProSe discovery request message, with a first UE and a second UE, for guiding ProSe discovery between the first UE and the second UE, wherein the received ProSe discovery request message indicates ProSe identifiers of the first UE and the second UE for ProSe communication and the ProSe communication preparation procedure comprises transmitting a first request message including scheduled information for the first UE and a second request message including scheduled information for the second UE, to the first UE and to the second UE respectively, and receiving response messages from the first and second UE; determining if a direct radio link between the first UE and the second UE is feasible for ProSe communication based on the received response messages from the first and second UE.

1. A method for handling Proximity-based Service (ProSe) discovery and communication for a base station in a wireless communications system, comprising:
performing a ProSe communication preparation procedure, in response to a received ProSe discovery request message, with a first user equipment (UE) and a second UE in the wireless communications system which are served by the base station, for guiding ProSe discovery between the first UE and the second UE among which one is an announcing UE and the other is a monitoring UE, wherein the received ProSe discovery request message indicates ProSe identifiers of the first UE and the second UE for ProSe communication and the ProSe communication preparation procedure comprises transmitting a first request message including scheduled information for the first UE and a second request message including scheduled information for the second UE, to the first UE and to the second UE respectively, and receiving response messages from the first UE and the second UE; determining if a direct radio link between the first UE and the second UE is feasible for ProSe communication based on the received response messages from the first UE and the second UE.
