Proximity services device-to-device communication services control

A method, comprising:

• receiving, at one user equipment, from another user equipment requesting setup, a scheduling assignment and at least one of data packets scheduled in the scheduling assignment;
• wherein the at least one of data packets is at least one of a user data packet;
• determining, at the user equipment, at least one of the received data packets relates to a new proximity services device-to-device communication service traffic flow;
• determining, at the user equipment, a message including application control information is included in the at least one of the received data packets;
• and completing, at the user equipment, the setup based on the application control information.

A computer program, embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium, the computer program, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:

• receive, at one user equipment, from another user equipment requesting setup, a scheduling assignment and at least one of data packets scheduled in the scheduling assignment;
• wherein the at least one of data packets is at least one of a user data packet;
• determine, at the one user equipment, at least one of the received data packets relates to a new proximity services device-to-device communication service traffic flow;
• determine, at the one user equipment, a message including application control information is included in the at least one of the received data packets;
• and complete, at the one user equipment, the setup based on the application control information.
