A user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a transceiver configured to communicate with a base station via a first connection and at least one further UE via a second connection;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver and configured to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a discovery configuration information message comprising an information element (IE) with a field configured to indicate a resource pool dedicated for sidelink discovery services;
- transmitting the discovery message as a broadcast based on the discovery configuration information message;
- and
- receiving a signal from the further UE regarding the discovery message, wherein the second connection is a sidelink connection.
A processor of a first user equipment (UE) configured to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a discovery configuration information message from a base station comprising an information element (IE) with a field configured to indicate a resource pool dedicated for sidelink discovery services;
- transmitting the discovery message as a broadcast based on the discovery configuration information message;
- and
- receiving a signal from a second UE regarding the discovery message via sidelink communications.
