DEVICE-TO-DEVICE COMMUNICATION SETUP USING PROXIMITY SERVICES

摘要

A communications method for facilitating peer discovery, and thereby facilitating peer- to-peer communications in a mobile communications network, comprises: acquiring, by a user equipment capable of performing peer-to-peer, P2P, proximity services, a link- local interface identifier from a node of a network. The link-local interface identifier is unique within the network, and the method further comprises establishing a link-local domain with at least one other user equipment in the network at least partly on the basis of the acquired link-local interface identifier.
