A registration request is sent to an intelligent transportation system (ITS) function. The registration request is for requesting authorization for a device to host a V2X service in a cellular network. A registration response is received from the ITS function. The registration response is for authorizing the device to host the V2X service in the cellular network. The V2X service is hosted in the cellular network via the ITS function. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An apparatus of a device for hosting vehicle to anything (V2X) communication, the device comprising: one or more processors to: send a registration request to an intelligent transportation system (ITS) function, the registration request for requesting authorization for the device to host a V2X service in a cellular network; receive a registration response from the ITS function, the registration response authorizing the device to host the V2X service in the cellular network; and host the V2X service in the cellular network via the ITS function. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the ITS function is implemented as part of a proximity services (ProSe) function of the cellular network. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the ITS function is implemented as part of a new entity in the cellular network. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the ITS function is external to the cellular network. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the one or more processors are further to: send an authorization request to the ITS function, the authorization request for verifying that the device is authorized to provide the V2X service; and receive an authorization response from the ITS function, the authorization response confirming that the device is authorized to provide the V2X service. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the one or more processors are further to: obtain an internet protocol (IP) address for use by the V2X service; connect to the ITS function using the obtained IP address; initiate the V2X service using the obtained IP address; and host the V2X service using the obtained IP address. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the one or more processors are further to: transmit a V2X service advertisement on a PC5 interface, the V2X service advertisement indicating that the V2X service is hosted by the device, wherein the V2X service advertisement is transmitted in broadcast form to all nearby devices, and wherein the V2X service advertisement is sent in a direct communication message, wherein the direct communication message comprises a direct discovery message. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the one or more processors are further to: transmit a broadcast message on a broadcast channel, the broadcast message including V2X service configuration information, wherein the V2X service configuration information is included in a system information block (SIB) of the broadcast message. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the registration request includes one or more of a service identifier for the V2X service, a link layer address for the device, and location information for the device. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the device is at least one of an evolved Node B (eNB) or a user equipment (UE). ### Claim 11 A method for hosting vehicle to anything (V2X) communication, comprising: sending a registration request to an intelligent transportation system (ITS) function, the registration request for requesting authorization for a device to host a V2X service in a cellular network; receiving a registration response from the ITS function, the registration response authorizing the device to host the V2X service in the cellular network; and hosting the V2X service in the cellular network via the ITS function. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the ITS function is implemented as part of a proximity services (ProSe) function of the cellular network. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, further comprising: sending an authorization request to the ITS function, the authorization request for verifying that the device is authorized to provide the V2X service; and receiving an authorization response from the ITS function, the authorization response confirming that the device is authorized to provide the V2X service. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, further comprising obtaining an internet protocol (IP) address for use by the V2X service; connecting to the ITS function using the obtained IP address; initiating the V2X service using the obtained IP address; and hosting the V2X service using the obtained IP address. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, further comprising: transmitting a V2X service advertisement on a PC5 interface, the V2X service advertisement indicating that the V2X service is hosted by the device, wherein the V2X service advertisement is transmitted in broadcast form to all nearby devices, wherein the V2X service advertisement is sent in a direct communication message, and wherein the direct communication message comprises a direct discovery message. ### Claim 16 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, further comprising: transmitting a broadcast message on a broadcast channel, the broadcast message including V2X service configuration information, wherein the V2X service configuration information is included in a system information block (SIB) of the broadcast message, and wherein the registration request includes one or more of a service identifier for the V2X service, a link layer address for the device, and location information for the device.
