Abstract
The present disclosure provides a method in a first terminal device. The method includes transmitting, to a second terminal device, a first message for initiating a discovery procedure over a sidelink. The first message contains one or more of following information associated with the first terminal device: first application or traffic related information, first location or mobility related information, or first connectivity related information.
Claims21
A method in a first terminal device, comprising:
- transmitting, to a second terminal device, a first message for initiating a discovery procedure over a sidelink,
- wherein the first message contains information associated with the first terminal device, comprising:
- first application or traffic related information,
- first location or mobility related information, and
- first connectivity related information comprising an indication of whether the first terminal device requests or is capable of providing a relay path towards a network node or a terminal device.
A method in a second terminal device, comprising:
- receiving, from a first terminal device, a first message for initiating a discovery procedure over a sidelink,
- wherein the first message contains information associated with the first terminal device, comprising:
- first application or traffic related information,
- first location or mobility related information, and
- first connectivity related information comprising an indication of whether the first terminal device requests or is capable of providing a relay path towards a network node or a terminal device.
A first terminal device, comprising a transceiver, a processor and a memory, the memory comprising instructions executable by the processor whereby the first terminal device is operative to:
- transmit, to a second terminal device, a first message for initiating a discovery procedure over a sidelink,
- wherein the first message contains information associated with the first terminal device, comprising:
- first application or traffic related information,
- first location or mobility related information, and
- first connectivity related information comprising an indication of whether the first terminal device requests or is capable of providing a relay path towards a network node or a terminal device.
