Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatuses of a wireless communications network involve receiving configuration information for the first UE (UE1 configuration information) for an inter-device session (IDS) between the first 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 may be received. Data can be transmitted directly from the first UE to the second UE during the IDS using the identified radio resource. A feedback signal can be received directly from the second UE in response to at least one IDS transmission
Claims20
A method performed by a first user equipment (UE) of a wireless communications network, the method comprising:
- receiving configuration information for the first UE (UE1 configuration information) for an inter-device session (IDS) between the first UE and a second UE, the UE1 configuration information including a radio network identifier;
- receiving a control message configured with the radio network identifier and a radio resource identifier;
- transmitting data directly from the first UE to the second UE during the IDS using the identified radio resource;
- and
- receiving a feedback signal directly from the second UE in response to at least one IDS transmission.
A first user equipment (UE) comprising:
- a transceiver configured to:
- receive configuration information for the first UE (UE1 configuration information) for an inter-device session (IDS) between the first UE and a second UE, the UE1 configuration information including a radio network identifier;
- receive a control message configured with the radio network identifier and a radio resource identifier;
- transmit data directly from the first UE to the second UE during the IDS using the identified radio resource;
- and
- receive a feedback signal directly from the second UE in response to at least one IDS transmission.
A first user equipment (UE) comprising:
- a transceiver configured to:
- receive, from a network node, configuration information for an inter-device session (IDS) between the first UE and a second UE, the configuration information including a radio network identifier;
- receive data directly from the second UE during the IDS using the identified radio resource;
- and
- transmit a feedback signal directly to the second UE in response to at least one IDS transmission.
