Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatuses a wireless communications network involve transmitting configuration information for a first user equipment (UE1 configuration information) for an inter-device session (IDS) between the first user equipment (UE) and a second UE, the UE1 configuration information including a radio network identifier. A control message configured with the radio network identifier and a radio resource identifier can be transmitted. The configuration information and the control information can instruct the second UE to transmit feedback signals directly from the second UE to the first UE in response to at least one IDS transmission between the first UE and the second UE.

A method performed by a network node of a wireless communications network, the method comprising:
- transmitting configuration information for a first user equipment (UE1 configuration information) for an inter-device session (IDS) between the first user equipment (UE) and a second UE, the UE1 configuration information including a radio network identifier;
- transmitting a control message configured with the radio network identifier and a radio resource identifier;
- and
- receiving a feedback signal directly from the second UE in response to at least one IDS transmission between the first UE and the second UE.
A network node of a wireless communications network, the network node comprising:
- a transceiver configured to:
- transmit configuration information for a first user equipment (UE1 configuration information) for an inter-device session (IDS) between the first user equipment (UE) and a second UE, the UE1 configuration information including a radio network identifier;
- transmit a control message configured with the radio network identifier and a radio resource identifier;
- and
- receive a feedback signal directly from the second UE in response to at least one IDS transmission between the first UE and the second UE.
