MEDIUM ACCESS CONTROL SIGNALLING FOR DIRECT DEVICE TO DEVICE COMMUNICATIONS

摘要

Systems and apparatuses involve implementing methods that may include transmitting a medium access control (MAC) message to a base station, the medium access control message including control information associated with at least one inter- device session between a first user equipment (UE) and a second UE. The medium access control message may include a set of one or more MAC message elements (MEs), each MAC ME comprising control information associated with at least one inter-device session. At least one MAC ME in the set of MAC MEs may identify an inter-device session, the session being associated with communications between the first UE and the second UE.
