The invention provides methods, devices and computer programs arranged to facilitate access to device-to-device (D2D) communication services in a communication network. One embodiment comprises an apparatus for use in controlling access to a device-to-device (D2D) communication service in a communication network, the apparatus comprising a processing system arranged to cause the apparatus to: receive a D2D discovery signal comprising data indicative of said D2D communication service; determine a verification state for the D2D communication service as one of a first verification state and a second, different, verification state, on the basis of said received D2D discovery signal, the first verification state being one in which said D2D communication service can be verified by the processing system; and in the event that said D2D communication service is determined to be in the second verification state, transmit data indicative of said D2D communication service for verification by the communication network . |
