MANAGEMENT OF RADIO RESOURCE CONTROL FOR DEVICE-TO-DEVICE COMMUNICATION

摘要

There are provided measures for management of radio resource control for device-to-device communication. Such measures exemplarily comprise setting a connected state of radio resource control for at least one device of a pair of devices, for which at least one device both a device-to-device communication service between the pair of devices and a core network communication service between the at least one device and a core network entity are active, said setting enabling radio resource management for the at least one device for the device-to-device communication service and the core network communication service, detecting termination of the core network communication service for the at least one device, reconfiguring a connection towards the core network entity for disabling the core network communication service of the at least one device, and maintaining the connected state of radio resource control for the at least one device of the pair of devices, for which at least one device only the device-to-device communication service is active, said maintaining enabling radio resource management for the at least one device for the device-to-device communication service.
