METHODS AND USER EQUIPMENTS FOR PROVIDING INFORMATION ABOUT A CONNECTION STATE

摘要

A method in a first user equipment (110) and a first user equipment (110) for providing information about at least one of a first and a second connection state are provided. Moreover, a corresponding method in a second user equipment (120) and a second user equipment (120) are provided. The first connection state is related to a first connection between the first user equipment (110) and a radio network node (140). The second connection state is related to a second connection between the first user equipment (110) and the second user equipment (120). The first user equipment (110) encodes (220) information about at least one of the first and second connection states into a synchronization signal for synchronizing the second user equipment (120) to the first user equipment (110). The first user equipment (110) sends (230) the synchronization signal to at least the second user equipment (120), thereby providing information about at least one of the first and second connection states. The second user equipment (120) decodes (250) the synchronization signal.
